c. M. Kimbrough, of Muncie, Ind,
general manager of the Indiana Bridge
Company, one Of the leading manufac-
turing institutions Of the state: "Bry-
ans insincerity. Believe in letting
well enough alone"
Judge H. H. Trimble, one time
Democratic candidate for Governor of
Iowa: Favors sound money, believes
in expansion and says that there is
nothing to Bryan but talk.
While Governor Roosevelt was
speaking at Victor, Colo, and the in
terruptions, boots and shouts for
Bryan were frequent, a tall, brown
faced man arose, walked to the plat
form, faced the audience, raised his
hand for silence, and said: -Four
years ago I voted for Bryan. l have
been a champion of silver for a long
time. l believed in the doctrine, but
| tell you now | am done with it all.
This year vote for Mckinley and have
done with you towards and ours"
There was not a hiss, jeer or shout in
derision. The man, in reply to the
Governors question, said his name was
Foulke, that he lived at Victor; and
then left the hall.

farmer and stock raiser: organs cleo

COLONEL MORTON, DEMOCRAT,
is AFRAID OF BRYAN

Colonel Morton of Fargo, S. D., an
old-time Democrat, is out against
Bryan. He was once on General
Sherman's staff during the civil war
and few years ago was chairman
of the Democratic State Committee
of Minnesota. He is now one of the
leading farmers of South Dakota.
He says: 81 note that the Demo-
cratic press throughout the country
is claiming the many Democrats
who voted against Bryan in 1895 are
lined up for the free-silver advocate
now. / don't know how it may be
elsewhere, but 1t Is not true in this
section. have been Democrat all
my life, but the free-silver heresy
drove meas it did thousands of
other lifelong Democrats-to the
support of Mckinley. The farmers
of the West cannot afford to have
a change in our financial conditions,
and with the election of Bryan and
a Democratic Congress-of course
I mean both houses of Congress be-
ing Democratic change would be
inevitable. That it would be suici-
dial for our people of the Northwest
to hazard even a remote chance Of
a change is evidenced by the fact
that to-day our farmers can borrow
on their rich acres from 40 to so per

I. w. Hellman, President of

Bank of Los Angeles: "I am a
lifelong Democrat, but I shall
not vote for Mr.. Bryan for Presi-

GENERAL LEW WALLACE
OUT FOR MCKINLEY

General Lew Wallace, Of Craw-
louisville, Ind, who has fire.
quently criticised the Republican
administration, has declared in
favor of re-electing President
Mckinley. He says:
81 shall vote for Mr.. McKin-
ley, and shall vote for the en-
tire Republican ticket. I shall
vote for Mr.. Mckinley because
the thought Of the election Of Mr..
Bryan Is abhorrent to me for sew
eral reasons. In the first place,
I hold the man insincere, for no
candidate can take nominations
from three parties without in
tending to fool some one in case
of his election.
'In the next place, Mr.. Bryan's
financial policy is one which, If
put in effect, would bring disas-
ter and ruin on the country.
Free silver is a menace to the
business interests Of the country.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1900-10-26

good demand, would suffer.
Another objection to Bryan is
that he is not Democrat.
81 am a moderate expansion
list. Without expansion I be-
lieve that this country, would
stand still, just as any large cor
poration does which does not ex-
pand and keep up with the times.
I believe in holding on to every
foot of land that the American
flag flies over, and would not
give up one bit of it.
California has been much ben
Gifted by this expansion. Our
trade has grown and is growing
continually by reason of the pol
icy of the present administra-
ton. I believe that this trade
will keep on expanding if Mr..
Mckinley is reelected. It would
be lost if Mr.. Bryan were
elected"

SILVER REPUBLICANS
RETURN TO THE FOLD

Col. A. w. Hogle; Capt. A.
Med. Brooks, Teller candidate for
sheriff in 1899; Senator Thomas,
William E. Bates, L. A. Lang,
w. S. Mayfreed and two hun
dred other Silver Republicans of
Denver have organized a
straight-out Republican club and
will support the administration
of President Mckinley. Their
reasons are:
"The Silver Republican party
cannot live beyond the present
campaign. The Democrats now
use it's friends, not to advance
the cause of bimetallism but sim
ply and only to elect Democrats
to Office, and in Arapahoe county
to elect ticket that is not cred
liable to any party. We, there
fore, hereby unite to form a re-
united Republican club in Ara
pahoe county to assist in the cleo
ton Of the Republican ticket this
fall"
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1900-10-26

"Finally, am opposed to Mr..
Bryan, as hold him directly re-
sponsible for the death Of every
one Of the brave American sol
diers slain in the Philippines.
It is the encouragement held out
to the rebels by Mr.. Bryan and
others of his ilk that keeps up
the struggle there. The war was
over, but the sympathy and
promises held out by Mr.. Bryan
have caused the fighting to break
out afresh, and it will from this
time until concluded be fraught
with more disaster to our boys,
for they have slowly and surely
been teaching their adversaries
how to fight. For each man who
falls there, be he inspired by the
sense of duty or the love Of war,
Mr.. Bryan is responsible. The
thought Of electing such a man
as this to the presidency is utter
ly repugnant."

WAYNE McVEAGH
CANNOT SUPPORT BRYAN

Wayne Mcveagh, whom Presi-
dent Cleveland appointed minis
ter to Italy, has decided to sup
port Mckinley and Roosevelt.
His reasons are given below:
"The controlling reason is
the unwillingness I feel to in
trust the government Of the
country to the men who now
represent and control the Dem
ocratic organization, standing as
they do upon the Chicago plat
form Of 1896. fully appreciate
the disturbances Of having two
great political parties to either Of
which the destinies Of this great
and growing republic can be

safely committed, but, in my
judgment, the Democratic party
does not at present meet that re-
quirement.
"It seems to, me the present
tendency Of President McKin-
ley's mind as to foreign policy
can be discerned in the true
American policy he is now pur-
suing in China.
con the currency question I
have always advocated single
gold standard Of value, and at
last I find myself in harmony
with the Republican platform on
that subject"
