WERE the crowds in attendance at
the Roosevelt and the Bryan meetings
a criterion, it would seem that both
OF 'em were sure to be elected. In
strong republican localities Bryan has
had great gatherings, and in sections
that went strongly for Bryan four
years ago Roosevelt has had immense
audiences. But 1t is doubtful II much
prophesying Of correct nature can
be based on the size of the crowd that
turns out to see and hear such men as
the two candidates named. In the
first place, anybody-if he doesn't
have to travel too far to get there
will go to see and hear a public man
of national reputation. In the second
place, Notwithstanding the roar and
turmoil of a political campaign, with
one set of spellbinders roasting Bryan
as an apostle of anarchy, and another
set holding Roosevelt up to view as a
symbol Of military subyersion of the
liberties of the people, the rank and
file among the citizens are proud Of
the ability and sterling personal worth
of the two men, and attend the meet
fings as q tribute of respect to the can
didatc himself. 1t can also be noted
that in each succeeding presidential
campaign there is less personal abuse
OF the national candidates of the two
parties. 1t is becoming known to
editors and speakers generally that
you can never convert a man to your
way of thinking by abusing the lead
ing represe ntative Of the platform in
which the man you are seeking to con-
vert at present believes. In national
politics, as In most other matters,
"ytnegar never catches flies''.

SENATOR Hanna told little story
in speech the other day the political
moral of which is too obvious to need
detail. The story is as follows: A
farmer boy was driving a COW and her
calf home. On the road they met a
steer. The calf insisted on following
the steer in spite of the boys efforts.
After chasing the animals until he
was tired out, in his chagrin and rage
the boy shook his fist at the retreating
calf and shouted: "You darn fool calf;
you'll be sbrry when supper time
cOmes!"

IL IL FART

Ex-Sheriff Shier was visitor in
Linton Monday and Tuesday. He
was getting signatures to his petition
as an independent candidate for the
position Of county treasurer. Mr..
Shier, in all his private dealings, has
been an upright and honorable man,
and men in this county who have ever
been his friends are sorry to see him
take the position that he is taking in
this years. campaign. Absolutely the
only opposition to Mr.. shicr, among
those who know him best. is that he
is not qualifed-and does not claim to
be qualified-to do the work of the
Office himself. He says that be will
have deputy, but he does not take
the taxpayers into his confidence by
informing them as to who the deputy
will be. OF all the offices in the
county, that of treasurer is the one
that should be filed by man who
is competent bookkeeper. In the
republican convention Mr. 1. H. Rob-
inson stated publicly that he was not
to be Mr.. Shier's deputy in case Of the
latter's election. Mr.. Shier says the
same thing, and there seems to be no
reason to doubt either statement. But
that there would have to be a deputy
is settled fact, just the same. And,
this being SO, why not have the dep
uty's name on the ticket and vote for
him direct? What's the use Qf having
q middle man between the actual
working treasurer and the taxpayers?
There's another thing to be consid-
cred: Mr.. Shier and his opponent. Mr..
Pitts, went into the republican con-
vention and made q fair and honorable
struggle for the nomination. During
Mr.. Shier's visit to Linton, a few
weeks before the convention, he stated
that II the major won in the conven-
tion he (Shier) would throw his sup
port to him. Why does he not do 50?
is there no honor or obligation as to
promises in politics? Is there any
more reason founded in justice for
Mr.. Shier to keep up his candidacy
after going before the convention and
losing the fight than there is for Mr..
Rowerdink or Mr.. Coventry to do so?
Is he treating Major Pitts fairly?
Would he not have thought it unfair
to himself had Pitts announced his
determination to continue in the field
had he (shierl won in the convention?
Any citizen has right to run for any
Office; but has he a moral right to
continue In the field after he has un-
successfully submitted his candidacy
to the chances Of party convention?
In doing SO doesn't he to a great ex-
tent adopt the motto of "Heads, I
win; tails, you lose?''
Mr.. Shier lays stress on the fact that
he announced himself as an independ-
emf candidate. But did not his can
didacy lose its slndependent'' cbarac-
ter when he submitted it for, the re.

Bryan is not consistent. lie and
his crowd have affected to believe for
the past few years that Mark Hanna
was the power behind the Mckinley
administration, and have emitted not
"a few sneers along that line. But
now that Hanna offers to meet Bryan
in joint debate the latter assumes an
air of lofty contempt and says he can
not cOndescend to debate with any
one but President Mckinley himself.
Well, Mr.. Mckinley has advanced some
arguments during the past few weeks
which Mr.. Bryan as yet has made no
attempt to denolish, and he might
begin on them. Presidents of the
United States have never toured the
country making campaign speeches.
Not only did the democrats In their
platform in 1854 proclaim Abraham
Lincoln an imperjalist, but again in
1858 they declared that "another
Republican victory would make of us
subjected and conquered people,
amid the ruins of liberty and the
scattered fragments Of the constitu-
tion." There was another republican
victory--in fact, several more repubil-
can victories we are not yet q
subjected and conquered people, nor
are we dwelling amid the ruins of lib
erty and the scattered frasments OF
the constitution. Mr.. Bryans talk
about the danger threatening the re-
public from the reelection OF McKin-
ley is just the same kind of "tommy-
rot' that his democratic predecessors
INDUCED in SO many years ago.

1t Happened in a Drug Store.

lone day last winter lady came to my
drug store and asked for brand of cough
medicine that did not have in stock, u
Gays Mr.. c. r. Grandin, the popular drug
gist of Ontario, N. Y. "She was disap-
pointed and wanted to know what cough
preparation l could recommend. l said
to her that l could freely recommend
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and that
she could take bottle of the remedy and
after giving it fair trial if she did not
find it worth the money to bring back the
bottle and l would refund the price paid.
In the course of day or two the lady
came back in company with friend in
need of cough medicine and advised her
to buy bottle Of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. l consider that a very good
recommendation for the remedy" The
remedy owes its great popularity and ex-
tensive sale in large measure to the per-
sonal recommendations of people who
have been cured by its use. 1t is for sale

WHAT WOULD FOLLOW.
How Bryan's Election Would Put The
Country on a Cheap Silver Basis.
New York Bond Buyer.

4NNM lOlh DOhI DhgNisl
Legislation such as Mr.. Bryan suggests
would not be necessary 10 put the country
on a silver basis. 1t is not necessary to
announce formally that man can pay his
debts in silver tokens for at the very first
intimation of snch possibility every man
of common sense is certain to hoard the
gold which is worth par all over the world,
and pay out only the silver tokens which
are good at par only at home.
The day after the election of Mr. Bryan
as President every individual and every
bank will cease to pay out gold. Gold
will instantly disappear here and be sent
abroad for investment. Gold will cease to
be paid into the Treasury, while it must
be paid out; and the legal reserve of gold
would soon fall below the 100000 900
mark; and we should have to issue bonds
to replenish it, just as in President Cleve-
lands time.
One other immediate result without
legislation for none is needed) of the an
nouncement of Bryan's election would be
the legal notice of all savings banks re-
quiring two or three months notice of
intention to withdraw deposits. The bank
ers would be justified in this, for the rea
son that they must, in order to pay inter-
est to depositors, invest in interest-paying
securities, which cannot be disposed of in
a hurry. The result would be that the de-
positors of the wage.savers would be held
up during the coming Winter, which
promises to be as severe on the poor as far
as the necessity of coal is concerned, as
the past Summer was on the poor in New
York in the matter Of ice.

THE Southern Democratic press is not
giving Mr.. Bryan cordial and enthusias'
tic support. The newspapers of this sec
ton recognize the fact that Mr.. Bryan ls
wrong upon the expansion question and
also OH the financial question. For these
reasons many of them are disguised with
him. Such support as he is receiving at
the South is only for the purpose Of hold
ing the Democratic party together here,
and not because of any respect for Bryan's
opinions.

BRYAN'S CALF FOR PRODlGALS.
William Mills lviEs Critlcises Gold Demo-
Gratis Who Go Over to Him,

William Mills WINS has written an open
letter of caustic comment upon the mo-
tives Of those so.called Gold Democrats
who would not support Bryan for Presl'
dent in 1896 because of his free silver
policy and yet are ranging themselves I'M
der his banner this year, although Mr.
Bryan is as besotted a financial crank as
ever. These are the returning prodigals
for whom Mr.. Bryan is quoted as saying
he was sorry he could not provide candy
calves. Here is part of what Mr.. WINS
says about them:
A few, happily only few, of the promi
nent Democrats who supported Mr.. Nc.
Kinley in the last election are now hurry
ing over to the Organized Democracy,
with no reason apparent to the unpreju-
diced outsider, except that they may have
hand in the reorganization of the party,
after it shall have suffered its next defeat,
and after the leaders who are responsible
for that defeat shall have reaped the har-
vest Of lost confidence, humiliation ana
contumely, Of which they have been SOW
ing the seeds for the last four years. Any
other efficient reason for the position of
these Democrats is wholly unapparent. If
they were justified in supporting the Re-
publican candidates and the Republican
policy in 1896, it would seem to all reas-
enable men that there is infinitely more
justification for their doing So now.
Happily for the country, the chief ex-
cellence of this class at this particular
jnncture lies in its numerical insigniicance.
They all feel that they are endowed, in a
peculiar measure, with the spirit of proph-
ecy, and they are willing that the country
should take any risk. provided only it ac-
cept them as its prophets. There are
those of US, however, who are not willing
to bet the prosperity of the country-and
it is a rather large bet-that Mr.. Olney,
or Mr.. Cochran, are right, and the rest of
the world quite wrong. And, besides,
some of us rather suspect, from the disin'
genuous way in which these gentlemen,
and others of their school, juggle the data
upon which their prophecies are based,
that we can detect rather strong odor of
false prophecy. We can all object; we
can all 90 into opposition; we can all tear
down, from children to men; but in case
Of this kind, we should have liked taste
of the constructive policy Of the directors.
With that before us, we should have some
means for passing upon the value of their
Judgments, and the voter to whom they
appeal would be supplied with some test
of their title to censorship.

not to dare to speak at certain points in
North Carolina, just as Governor Roose-
welt was dared by the Governor of Colo
RADIO to make speech for the gold stan
dard at Denver. Mobs dressed in red
shirts rode through that State suppressing
free speech and driving men away from
the polls, without being rebuked by the
Democratic press, but were praised for
their acts of lawlessness and disorder.
Mr.. Bryan is now afraid to answer, in a
manly and honest way, when questioned
about the outrages in North Carolina, and
gives his approval to what was done there,
by equivocal answers.
In Virginia we have had, even in recent
years, some evidence Of the violent spirit
that animates the Democracy. -Four years
ago at Blackwater, in Lee county, General
Walker was assailed by a lot of Democrat
ic toughs, and but for his GOODNESS and for
bearance would have been killed. Less
than two years ago General Walker was
murderously assaulted by member of a
band of conspirators at Bristol, and after
he had been shot and was lying danger
ously wounded was threatened with mob
violence, because he had shot, in self'de'
Tense, a stoOl-pigeon of Rhea. The man
who shot General Walker was rewarded
by appointment to the position OF private
secretary to w. F. Rhea, the man who
now holds by fraud the seat in Congress
which Justly belongs to General Walker,
and who las been honored again by the
Democracy as its candidate for Congress.
1t is not Democracy but Mobocracy.

SOME of the Democratic papers are be
ginning 20 criticize President Mckinley for
ordering the withdrawal of the American
forces from Pekin, leaving only sufficient
number of troops there to guard the
American Legation. The bulk of the
press, however, approves of this course
pursued by President Mckinley. The
Lynchburg News in speaking Of the matter
says "Our future work in China is me-
gotiation and not war. Whether the other
powers will consent to adopt the concili-
atory policy of the United States remains
for the future to disclose" This is cor
rect view of the situation. Our forces
were sent to Pekin for a specific purpose.
If that purpose has been accomplished
they should be withdrawn.
