expression in armorial bearings on

in costly palaces, maintained with a
profligate grandeur that is Intended to

in common with their rlebeian neigh

Mr.. Voorhees, Speech.

Mr.. Voorhees, speech Wednesday
night had the true ring of patriotism,
running all through its delivery, and
reminded one of the good old times
when political orators addressed the
public to discuss important questions
OF public policy, instead of one party
making excuses for departure from
the cardinal prime Piles of flee gov
eminent and the other being obliged
to meet and combat ideas in conflict
with the Declaration which a few
years ago was regarded as immortal
in its nature, and the constitution
which was held as the palladium OF
our rights.
The speaker traced the present
tendency for strong government with

He showed by indnbitable evidences
that rs great change had been
wrought in the prevailing sentiment
OF the Republican party-strange and
alarming as it may appear at first
thought-as there was revolution of
thought in that party on the cur
rency question. The speech was
timely and suggestive of the impera-
tive need for personal activity in the
great battle to be fought in November.
The speaker then showed up with

critical policy the administration has
extended to the Filipinos. How

The taking OF General Aguinaldo to
Manila has been condemned by the
administration apologies, but any one
at all acquainted with the conditions
there at the time, knows this to have
been a wise strategical move, and one
which would have resulted most adj.
vantageously to the American forces,
except for the fact that in changing a
policy Of humanity into criminal ag-
erosion, Aguinaldo was able to rice
up and smite us. Thus we see that
every offence committed against right
and justice carries with it its own pun

Our Candidates.

John r. Mitchell, the Democratic
nominee for Judge Ct the Superior
Court, is already well known to the
people of this county. In 1888 he
formed partnership here with Judge
Root which lasted until 1893. Mr..
Mitchell was admitted to the bar by
the Superior Court of this county in
1889 and also by the Supreme Court
in $780, In 1880 he took course Of
law lectures at the University of Vir-
ginia and returning here has at all
times since been actively engaged in
practicing law. The first few years he
devoted most Of his time to careful
study and practice of the probate laws,
afterwards engaging with marked sue
cess in study and practice of law gen.
orally, including criminal law, having
taken part in many of the important
cases Of this county a number of which
were finally determined in the Su.
preme Court. In 1896 he was elected
to the office of Prosecuting Attorney,
and the ability. diligence and economy
exercised by him during his term OF
office are we'll known and often spoken
of. He has high regard for the
courtesies and ethics of his profession,
is sober and industrious, and has de.
veloped clear, discriminating judicial
mind, and being nearly forty years OF
age is ripe and fitted for the bench.
Mr.. Mitchell says, "Tell the people
through your paper that if elected 1
shall do all in my power to earn the
distinction of being a fair, capable,
just and courageous Judge"

The Presidential Outlook.

The N. Y. World gives the follow
ing premises and forecast OF the polit
ical situation:
Four years ago Mr.. McKinley's ma
jority in the electoral college was
ninety five. If Mr.. Bryan can keep
the 176 votes cast for him then, only
forty-eight more are necessary to Sc
cure his election.
Delaware has three, Maryland eight,
West Virginia six, Kentucky twelve -
a total OF twenty-nine votes from old
Democratic States which, prior to
1896, had never in twenty years gone
Republican, and which should return
to the Democratic column this year.
This would leave only nineteen
votes necessary.
Indiana, which has fifteen, was a
comparatively close State in 1896. 1t
has regularly seesawed from the DEM
ocratic to Republican and back, for
twenty-eight years, and is due to re-
turn to the Democratic column this
year; so that the Democrats are hope.
full of carrying it for Mr.. Bryan, as
they did for Tilden and twice for
Cleveland.
This would leave only four votes
necessary.
A Democratic plurality in any one
OF the five Middle States-Ohio, Illi-
nois, Michigan, Minnesota or Wiscon-
sin-would more than supply this de-
ficiency. A change OF less than four
thousand votes would have carried
Ohio for Tilden in 1876. In 1892 the
State was so close that Cleveland act.
ually received one of its electoral
votes, and in that year Wisconsin and
Illinois both went for Cleveland.
In Michigan the Republicans are

that he meant a. for another term" 1t
is probable, however, that out of the
fullness of the heart the lips spoke the
remarkable utterance, in line with the
tendencies of the Republican party.
So much by way of prelude to a SINH
lar clip which Farmer Todd made at
Ellensburg, the other day. Alter a
ponderous effort to elucidate the Cos.
pei of truth, he closed his peroration
with the astounding admonition "On
election day, let there DO no division
in our ranks, but let every voter in
our party march up TO the polls and
vote for Billy Mckinley" He, OF
course, intended to say Billy Bryan,
but the tumult which arose over the
mistake prevented any explanation,
and it had to 60 at that.

names of the trusts controlling their

asked to accept positions subject to
the election of Mckinley.
Here is part OF one of the letters
sent out by the Montclair Rubber Co.,
OF New York, branch of the rubber
trust, to Chicago man:
"Dear Sir: We would like to have
you consider the following conditional
proposition, subject to the election of

that you can travel exclusively with

Well, Well

Oily reports that Mr.. Voorhees, at
tacks on Mckinley "were received in
silence and the mention of Bryan

The former proposition is true, for it

true citizenship regards the drift of
those in high places towards imperial
ism, and we have it, ON the authority
OF an eminent local lady politician,
that when people are silent they are
