DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK
IS SATISFACTORY
Special to the Register

Special to the Register.
CHICAGO, October Ex-senator Jones,
chairman of the Democratic national COM
mittee, has given out an official state
ment of the present condition of the cam
paign. He predicts Democratic success
and gives his reasons which are based on
reports from reliable men throughout the
country. He says:
.At this stage of the canvass every
thing appears to be satisfactory, and l
feel absolutely certain that Bryan and
Stevenson will be elected by a large ma
jority in the electoral college. The Repub-
licans are depending upon the use of mon-
ey to debauch the electorate, in the same
manner that they succeeded in doing four
years ago, but it is my opinion that they
have not as much money to spend as they
had in 1896. and that even if they had they
would not be able to effect their purpose.
Forty years ago this nation was con-
fronted with difficulties that resulted in a
great civil war. Now we are confronted
with problems tending to destroy the char
acter and form of the government estab-
lished by our fathers. If Mckinley is re-
elected President it will mark the begin
ming of the end of the republic. The i'm
perialist policy of the Republican party
means destruction of the government es-
tablished by Washington, Jefferson and
Madison.
The reports that I receive from the
country at large are cheering. When such
distinguished patriarchs and partisans as
Ex-Governor Boutwell,, of Massachusetts.
Senator Wellington, of Maryland, ex-Sen-
ator Henderson of Missouri Geo. Beatty
of Ohio, and hundreds of others, abandon
their party on the issue of the republic
or the empire, it means that the great mass
of the people of the country. irrespective
of party. are doing some very deep think
ing on that subject.
Il think the anti-imperialist movement
in the Republican party is much more
serious and profound than was the mug
wump movement in 1884 that defeated
Blaine or the gold Democratic movement
of 1896 that elected Mckinley.
I'm 1884 and 1896 it was the objections to
candidates on purely domestic issues that
could be remedied that were at stake.
Now, the very existence of the republic
is in peril
1T is impossible for me or for anybody
tlse to adequately gauge the result of an
election in advance l can say, however,
that 1 receive reports daily from subordi-
nate committeeman in every State, county
and district in the union. These men are
instructed to report only cold facts, and
give the enemy invariably the benefit of
the doubt. From these reports l feel sat
isfied that the Democrats will have at
least 257 votes in the electoral college.
"As l said, it is impossible to accurately
gauge the result of national election in
advance, but as close as / can get to it
by the information I receive daily from
trusted associates in every corner Of the
country, l feel absolutely satisfied that
Bryan and Stevenson will be elected

The Dinner Pail.
Baltimore

Baltimore Sun.
King Nebuchadnezzar. 1t will be recalled,
offered a full dinner pail to certain of the
children of the captivity. and he placed
no limit upon the offer, 1t will also be
recalled that Danial, Hananiah, Mishael
and Azariah rejected even this offer,
which was made through Mezar who was
apparently the Hanna Of that admnistra-
ton, and that they Jared far better and
prospered greatly beyond those who for
feited their principles in order to fill their
stomachs and become fat and well liking.
The thought that some of the working
people may abandon their principles at
the polls in order to get the turkey and
celery and then fail to get them even with
the time limit, is too painful to be con-
sidered with complacency. Gentlemen
who entertain such ideas of the all-suffi-
c.ency of the dinner pail and who think
it is the only thing that need be promised
to a workingman to win his vote generally
have well filled dinner pals of their own.
They generally have some good, liberal
salary from a government office bestowed
by Mr.. Mckinley or fat trust dividends
made fat by special laws enacted by the
Republican party. These are not clamor-
ing for a change Doth the wild ass bray
when he hath grass? or loweth the OK over
his fodder?

WHY HE WANTS TO GO.

Mr.. Abram McCulloch, of Ohio, coun-
ty, is a candidate on the Republi-
can ticket for the House of Del
egates. The following relating to Mr..
McCulloch is clipped from the columns
of the Wheeling Daily Intelligencer of
September 8, 1900:
Mr.. McCulloch appeared before the
convention and heartily thanked the
delegates on behalf of the Republican
farmers of the county He spoke of the
Importance of electing a Republican
Legislature to elect S. B. Elkins to sue
coed himself in the United States Sen
ate. There is also the importance of re-
distrcting the State, and he promised
to take the longest shoe-string in the
city of Wheeling to Charleston to
stretch across the map of the State and
see to it that the State is redistricted
in the interest of the Republican party.
Mr.. McCulloch was heartily cheered
when he closed"
In other words, if, by any misfor-
tune, Mr.. McCulloch should go to
Charleston, he will go simply and Who'll
ly in the interests of the Republican
party, and mis- chief legislative aim will
be to bring about d gerrymander of
the State i'll the interests of Republi-
cans. The Register doubts if the bus
mess men and citizens of Ohio county
generally want that sort of man to
misrepresent them in the legislative
halls of the State. A gentleman with
a broader mind and wider conception
of duty to the whole people would be
infinitely preferable. The voters can
well afford to allow Mr.. McCulloch TO
remain at home.

WESTON, w. Va, October 23.-Not

at st. Bernard's Catholic church, on
Sand Fork, the contracting parties be-

ceremony an ordinary country cotillion,
at which the "Arkansaw Traveller" was

the occasion as fitting accompaniment
to the bridal festivities.
To-day all things have changed, and

awaited them in order that they might
catch the fast express at Clarksburg

OUR sPINELESs PREsIDENT.


1t is favorite assertion of the press
and leaders Of the party in power that
it is always consistent, never turns
back upon policy once formulated,
and can always be depended upon to
do exactly what it says it will do, and
President Mckinley is the bright and
shining example of that sort of thing.
Without going into a multiplicity
of instances where the Republican
party has promised things it never per-
formed, and pretended to be what it
was not-not even quoting its notori
Gus reputation of its civil service
plank of 1896, it will be sufficient to
call attention once more to the case
CT Porto Rico, and McKinley's enuncia-
ton of his plain duty to the people
OF that Island. How he turned tail
and stultified himself is known of all
men, and his self-reversal brought
forth, among many other scorching
criticisms, the following from the Re-
publican Times-Herald of Chicago:
Republicans are not able to follow
presto-change that involves the hon
or and prcbity of the nation as snake
changes it's skin Political parties are
saved or damned, not by what they
believe, but by what they do. In this
matter the Republican leaders saw the
right, approved it, too, condemned the
wrong, and yet the wrong pursue.
And yet it is Mckinley "the con-
sistent," No wonder Thomas Bracket
Reed talks about the weather, Benja-
min Harrison minds the baby, that
Senator Hoar is holding his nose.

SAMPLE REPUBLICAN FALSE

local columns, perpetrated display
head article, under the caption, Mil
lions Are Involved in the Election,
setting forth that fifty thousand acre
deal in Webster county lands was on

The article was political falsehood,
and as such the Register denounces It..
We say it is a falsehood advisedly, and
can prove what we say.
/: was gotten up for purely political
effect, written with that intent and
purpose, and was an integral part Of
the business scare the Republican press
and papers are attempting to get up in
the hope of benefitting William Nc
Kinley and his personal and partisan
following.
The Webster county deal of which
the Intelligencer pirates, and to the
false account of which it appended a
political cracker, will not go through.
no matter who is elected President, and
that the Intelligencer well knew, if ii
knew anything about it. The gentle
men at the head of the once-projected
enterprise have discovered that the
titles to much of the land are so in
vOlved that they do not care to run
the risk of investing a large sum of
money. and. in addition, the coal pros
poets are not at all what was antici-
pated.
In other words, the venture is not to
be consummated, and yet, with Mr..
Bryan elected President, the Intelligen-
Ger would have suppressed the rea,
reason for the failure of the enterprise,
and would have proclaimed: I'VE told
you so; Bryan was elected, and the
Webster county deal, involving much
money is off. :"

cation for partisan purposes is so
childish that it only excited ridicule.
