Waterbury Democrat., 1900-10-27

As a slinger Of billingsgatc Boss Hanna is d bowling and disgusting success. :. . ;
 One of the big insurance companies has already reelected Mir Mckinley, but that won't prevent the election of MT Bryan on election day.
 In place of occupying the leading position i'll the settlement of the Chi nese troubles, as our republican friends have been so consistently saying. this country seems to be merely specta- tor, absolutely ignored by those who are participating.
 Possibly Mir Fessenden believes that not even his aid can save Mclean, and is, therefore, willing to give it. He says he feels fin honor bound by the action of the convention" Politically he may be so bound; morally the obii- gation. if any, is forccless, for his an ti-convention campaign declared Me Lean unfit for the governorship and the convention did not hold the power of shriving the candidate, even If he were penitent, which clearly he is not.

Banker Henry Clewes takes q hope ful view of our present situation i'll re- gard to foreign matters, especially of the Chinese trouble, which he says, is bound to bring more business and money to this country. We quote: "The Philippines must be speedily freed from their present confusion and incorporated into our political and commercial organization; and Manila must stand out as the symbol and the fortress of American aScendancy in the Pacific. Concurrently with this establishment of our military and naval power in the east, the doors of commerce are to be thrown wide open to us in China. Great Britain and Germany have agreed upon a form of settlement of the eastern ques- tion, which already has commanded the assent of the European powers at large and of our own government The way to settlement that will throw the whole Celestial empire open to the trade of all countries is thus be- coming within near sight, which will be one of the greatest achievements of centuries. On the one hand it will mean the removal from the worlds politics of a question which has threatened to deluge Asia with blood and to involve Europe in destructive international struggles. On the other hand it will add 450 millions of new | consumers to the markets of the world. | The significance of all this to the l United States is that we stand near est to the field of this new commerce, | and are better equipped than any l other nation for sharing 1t. It means | that when the present political eX- citement is passed and the troubles in 1 of things, the rising commercial spirit of this country will eagerly occupy | itself with new fields of enterprise ill renovated China, out of which will come great revival of international trade Nor will this revival be some
 thing to be long waited for. The great eastern market already exists
 the "open door" of access needs only formal recognition, when every com
 mercial nation will rush in to seize the abounding opportunities afforded by the largest market of the world. This movement is close upon us and may be | expected to make it's force felt il
 months rather than years. Our meI
 of wealth and enterprise have theil | eyes on the great opportunity and sec
 in it the promise of an accession to oul | trade that will reach Wall street as
 surely and as soon as our invigoratet
 industries. This, in my judgment, i'
 to be reckoned upon as q contribution
 to the activities of the stock exchangt
 which will be forthcoming with th'
 opening of the new century,"

When old Zach Chandler made
 Hayes possibility by claiming his
 election after the returns showed
 Tilden's election, he established q pre-
 cedent that has been slavishly follow ed by the republican managers of
 every national campaign since. The republicans have already reelected
 Mckinley, according to their claims,
 and the voting ten days hence will be mere formality: The object of
 this bluff and buster is so plain that
 he who runs may read it. Once get %ti1at large portion of the public which takes no personal part in politics other than to vote to accept the idea that
 McKinIey's election is assured, and : the way will be paved to work Hanna $
 plans to secure the election by the
 corrupt use of money and any other . crooked way that presents itself, and
 those who know little or nothing about
 the manipulation of political machin-
 cry will be more apt to accept the re-
 suit so obtained because it had been
 so confidently claimed before election.
 "Hc laughs best who laughs last"
 The democratic managers could shat ter some of the surface indications,
 which the republicans are pointing
 out as assuring Mckinley's election,
 but to do so they would have to show
 where many thousand Bryan votes arc which the republican bosses are fond | l., Io,, If,I- ir,1n they do not deem it good policy to do. It is the '::silent vote" which they are depending upon to elect Bryan ana Stevenson, and to locate that vote for the republicans would be to make trouble for the voters and to lose much of it. Just let every democrat keeT his shoulder to the wheel and remem- Der that November 6. is the day or which the president will be elected.

millionaires and the trusts see in this revolutionary change T way to make America country fit for q gentleman to live in. as Astor said, and country where the damned lower orders, as defunct Yanderyilt said, shall be taught to know and keep their places. At the head of this movement is the republican party, represented by it's politicians and led by it's party boss. And a vote for the republican party will. therefore. be vote for Hanna and the trusts. Hanna and the imper- ialists and Hanna and the coming rev olution. He Is the emperor's emperor, the master of the president. he who in this campaign has won 'an unenvla- ble notoriety for scurrility and for happy knack of boldly and unblushing- ly asserting what Is not the fact. Let US put only Americans on guard. Let us not vote for denationalized AmeH- cans who take England for their mod el and look down on the United States. Let us not again trust men who have egregiousIy blundered ana been duped by a foreign power. Let us not con- init our interests to persons who prefer England'S interests to all others. Let us spurn the men who depart from the old ways and the best traditions of this republic, who talk with disrespect of our worthiest ancestors and most cherished monuments. Who are un- American in their hearts cannot be faithfully American in their policy, for they seek office in order to obtain the power to carry out the sinister details of the inperialist conspiracy, which will create an aristocracy and suDvert the glorious republic of Washington and Jefferson.

HEARD IN PASSING

Hannas clownish antics and talk will cause many disgusted republicans to vote for Bryan and Stevenson.
 The republican state convention of New York has offered to pay all ey- penses involved in converting inde- pendent voters. If that isn't open bribery, what is it?
 General Joe Wheeler was very DO. lite; also very emphatic in denying Teddy's claim that he was Hopper. General Joe is a rockboUnd democrat, and will vote for Bryan and Steven son. He didn't sell his conscience for a commission in the army.

 When nominations and election to office arc bought for cold cash, there will be no use denying that the dollar mark has become our national cm blem, and it will be an insult to intel ligence to call this q free country The coming election will show whether the money triumph of four years age is to be permanent.

The news of the settlement of the strike is good news, and we imagine it will be fully as pleasing to the strikers as to the men that run the much time and money should be wasted, as well as the loss of an oc- casional life. The settlement of the strike means the return to work of as many persons as there are inhabitants in Waterbury.

Young Sulley, who lived at Eddystone. near

the result has just been made public.
It developed that the boy, although OF
tender years, smoked two boxes OF cigar
