Either Bryan or Mckinley.

Either Bryan or Mckinley win be elected
president the first Tuesday after the first Mon
day of next month.
Either the republic or the empire will be
indorsed.
If Bryan wins it will mean the end of war
of conquest for Gnholy greed.
If Mckinley wins it will mean that that war
will go ons that American deals will be re.
pudiated; that national faith will be betrayed;
! that the rights ofmen will be denied; that the
Declaration of Independence will become a
mockery; that the constitution will be ignored; /;
that polygamy and slavery will be indorsed,
and that all for which we have stood and of
which we have been honestly proud during a
hundred and twenty five years of glorious
national history viii be put behind us for
mean and ignoble ambition.
The citizen must choose. He may affect to
believe that there is some other duty before
him but that of deciding between the republic,
and the empire. But if he shall vote for any
other man than for Bryan he will vote to
strengthen the arm of Imperialism and to
cripple that of free government,
The issue cannot be lodged. 1t is either
the republic or the empire. What shall it be z
Which does the citizen want?
If he desires the republic to stand he must
vote for Bryan.
If he is careless whether it stand or fall, he
may vote Cor anybody else or fail or refuse to
vote AZ ALL And that will be his contribution
TO the coming ofthe Man on Horseback.

In au article in the February number, 1888,
OF the Century Magazine, Col. Theodore
Roosevelt, now Republican nominee for Vice
President, wrote
when drunk on the villainous
whisky of the frontier towns they
the cowboys and rough ridersl cut
mad antics, riding their horses into
saloons, firing their pistols right and
left, from boisterous hght-hearted-
ness rather than from any vicious
ness, and indulging too often in dead
ly shooting ARRAYS brought on either
by accidental contact of the moment
or on account of some long-standing
grudge, or perhaps because of bad
blood between the ranches or locali-
ties.
"But they are much better fellows
and pleasanter companions than the
small farmers or agricultural labor
ers; nor are the mechanics of a great
city to be mentioned in the same
breath with them.'
At another time, in speaking of strikes, the
same Col Roosevelt said the man icho lcoald
90 on a strike ought to be shot
This is the man who is now soliciting votes
for the high office of Vice President. He
once believed, and no doubt still believes, that
the plain people should have no liberty-the
man who protests against starvation wages
should be shot; and the Cow Boy rowdies and
outlaws are better than the small farmers and
agricultural laborers and mechanics ofthe large
cities. These are not fit for self elf-government
he believes. and should be subject to million

How many small farmers, farm laborers and
mechanics will vote for such a creature?

yesterday:
II am of the opinion that under our
charter, which is the supreme law for
the government of the municipality,
the board of finance has right to APP
prove bills not approved by the head
of departments If they think the same
are justly due.
In giving this opinion, | do not
wish it understood that l do not think
it is salutary to have all bills approved
by the heads of the departments, as
they are in a better position to judge
of the correctness of the bills than
anyone else and if there is a rule or
custom to that effect in the board of
finance 1t would be well to observe
the same as far as possible, except in
cases where injustice would be done
by adhering too closely to the rule"
Respectfully submitted,
A. Heaton Robertson.
