The New York Verdict calls at

The New York Verdict calls at
tention to the fact that
President Mckinley has occu-
pied the White House a little more
than three years. For the same
period of time the government has
been run by millionaire plutocrats
of the White House Syndicate.
The hump backed taxpayer
brother to the man with the hoe
can now take stock and ascertain
his condition. Three years of Mo
Kinleyism have given this patient
man with hump government that
cost about $25O,OO0 an hour; nearly
Sc, 100000 day; more than $40,-
100000 week; almost $15O,0OO,OOO
month; in the neighborhood of
$2,OOO,OOO,OOO year-and yet the
patient man with eyes like an OK
is not wholly satisfied!
Tx President Harrison views.
The Livingston (Mont.) Post, a
copy of which has just been re-
ceived here, says:
"Ex- President Harrison and par
ty came out of the Yellowstone
Park last Friday evening and re-
turned East that evening, The
ex- President was seen by Post
man, and in response to an inquiry
as to the political situation, gave it
as his opinion that the Republican
party would carry the election this
fall, but admitted that Bryan would
receive heavier vote in the East
this year than he did in 1896. He
thought the chances of the great
Democratic leader in Indiana much
better than they had ever boon,
and said it would not surprise him
should the state go Democratic
this fall.
"The ex-President did not think
that the Republican party had pur-
sued the rightful course with re-
gard to the trust question, and
thought the Administration was
playing fast and loose with the
people on the matter. He regards
the Administration, however, as
having been wise one for the
most part, but admits that several
grievous mistakes have been made
in handling the reins of govern
ment.-St Louis Republic.
A few mugwump democrats who
arc airing the Kansas City plat
form and the democratic standard
bearers, are getting all the space
they desire in Republican papers.
If the Democratic party had made
platform to.suit this crowd only,
there would have been no demo
cratic party in November. There
is neither honesty nor sincerity
among the kickers. Any man who
cannot stand on the national plat
form of nineteen hundred is not a
democrat, and hence the party is
not hurt. The democrats could
not make q platform to please re-
publicans. The declaration of in
dependence is the democratic plat
form, and every American can stand
on it.
Farmers Advocate: "Democra-
cy in 1900 stands for the people,
not trusts; Republic, not an EN-
pire; bimetalism, not monometal-
ism; the rights of the masses ng-
ainst the encroachment of the clas-
ses. Democracy stands for the
highest conception of unrestricted
human liberty. Republioanism of
this campaign, is antipodal to all
of the above principles.
The Republicans and their allies
do not like the National Democrat
ic platform. You never knew a
criminal that praised his own in
dictment.
The National Democratic plat
form is a second declaration of in
dependence.
Democracy stands for the funda-
montaI principles of the republic.
The Democratic county ticket is
an exceptionally good one.
