WHY sELkNAp's ron MkINLEY

Rear Admiral George E. Belknap
will vote for McKinleyTand.R Roosevelt
His reasons for so doing are briefly
and tersely stated in the following
words
"You ask me for an expression of
opinion as to the duty, during the
present presidential campaign, of Dem
ocrats who still cherish the faith of
Jefferson and Cleveland, whether they
should vote for President Mckinley or
vote for Mr.. Bryan.
In response to such a request, l
beg to say briefly that, in my judg-
ment, the questions that confront the
country most distinctively and most
menacingly today, are those affecting
the stability of the currency and the
integrity of the courts. Ii is idle to
say that such questions have now been
relegated to the contentious of the
past, in view of the fact that the is
to / and government by injunction
heresies, adopted by the Chicago con-
vention of 1896, were insisted upon by
Mr.. BRYAN with imperial strenuous
ness, and re-affirmed in submission to
his imperious demand by the Kansas
City convention of this current year.
1.-THE tumultuous beatings of the
tom toms of alleged imperialism have
but hollow sound they but strike
notes Of simulated distress of no more
resounding force than the confined
clangings of the alarm bells of the
scenic stage. Tossuppose, indeed, that
Congress, changed in it's member
ship every two years and holding the
purse and therefore the sword Of the
nation, would ever permit policy of
real imperialism to be pursued in any
direction by the Executive, is to dis
credit the common intelligence, good
sense, strong fiber and resolute will
OF this people.
Wherefore, in view of such consi-
derations as they appear to me, and
others I might name and more at
length, propose, as an old fashioned
Democrat, to vote next month for
the Republican electors, as did vote
for such electors four years ago.
Whatever other Democrats of the old
faith may think or do, such seems to
me to be the best course to pursue at
this juncture.
Every truly yours,
"GEO. E. BELKNAP.

BRYAN RIOTS.
His Followers Make Practical DEM
onnfratinna of Hfa noetrfnea


His Followers Make Practical Dem-
onKtrations of His Doctrines.
The last stage of the Bryanite De-
mocracy's campaign has degenerated
into mere demonstration of riotous
lawlessness. Mr.. Bryan himself set
the example to his followers when he
began about a month ago to deliberate
ly misrepresent the facts in regard to
the employment of the United States
army. He informed the public in sew
eral addresses that the Republicans
proposed to employ large standing
army for the purpose of intimidating
and coercing the voters and for subju-
eating the wage earners of the coun-
try, compelling them to obey the
wishes of the rich corporations who
employ them and preventing strikes
by the point of the bayonet. In sub
sequent speeches he sought to infame
the poor against the rich by artful APP
peals to their envy and other bad pas
sions, and stated that the Republican
party's policy was such as to make the
rich richer and the poor poorer and
that the Republican party cared only
for the rich people.
Excited by such talk as this from
Mr.. Bryan and some of the other lead
ers close to him in the management of
the Democratic campaign the Demo
cratic rank and file have been guilty of
various violent and lawless actions,
and the tendency in that direction on
their part is increasing at an alarming
rate.
At Victor, Colo, a short time ago, Gov
ernor Roosevelt and his company Of
Republican speakers were assaulted by
q gang of Democratic miners with
clubs and other weapons. Governor
Roosevelt and several others were
struck and considerably injured.
At Chicago Governor Roosevelt was
shamefully assaulted and abused with
vile language by another gang Of Bry-
antics in front of a church where he
had just attended service on Sunday
morning, and in the same city Senator
Hanna was making speech to a large
audience when some sympathiZers
with Bryan threw large piece Of ice
at the speaker and just missed his
head. Again, in Chicago, few even
ings later, a Republican procession
was mobbed by a gang of Bryanites
who threw rotten eggs, stones and 9th
er missiles at the marchers and severe
ly injured several of them.
In New York city Republican meet
ings have frequently been interrupted
by similar assaults, and Mr.. Odell, the
Republican candidate for governor of
New York, while listening to a sere-
made on the balcony of his hotel, was
publicly insulted by the Democrats,
who turned their dazzling searchlight
and Bryan notices full upon him.
Commenting on these proceedings,
Senator Scott of West Virginia said re-
Gently: 1.-THE Bryanite Democracy has
adopted this policy of disorder and
lawless violence because in it remains
their only chance. Their arguments
have long since been riddled through
and through, and their only remaining
resource is literally to raise the devil
of riot and mob law in the community,
hoping by that means to terrorize the
peaceable and respectable citizens and
in this way to carry New York city and
state and Chicago and Illinois. This
ominous danger the citizens must pre-
pare against"

= An editor of a news bureau in Wash

that this campaign has fiattened out
so soon. felt sure that it would be-
fore election day, but did not look
for it so early in October. Bryan has
talked himself out. The whole thing is
over now. The ex-Colonel has real
ly performed great public service by
demonstrating his shallowness in the
face of men by much speaking The
platform was sufficient to condemn
the Democratic party, but an active
effort to expound the platform was
needed to show its weakness and the
weakness of the man for whom it was
made.
