THE POSSIBILITIES OF THE DEMO
CRATIC PARTY.

In 1894 the Democratic party was
rushingly defeated. In Ohio its vote
fell from 404, 900 for Cleveland in 1892 to
276,00O in 1894.
In 1895 the vote for Mr.. Bryan in Ohio
rose TO Az 900, or 10000 more than the
vote by which President Harrison had
carried the state in 1892. Nor did this
gain Of 200, 900 votes mark the full eT-
tent OF the change that had been
wrought. Thousands Of Democrats
voted against Mr.. Bryan in 1896; and
tens Of thousands of Republicans
Quaker Republicans, Abolition Repub-
licsns-men who had been with the Re-
publican party since ls56-voted for the
the first time in their lives for the
Democratic candidate. Prior TO 1896
the cities had been the stronghold Of the
Democratic party, and the rural dis.
tricts the stronghold OF the Republi.
cans. In 1896 the situation was reversed.
Prior to 1896 the immigrant voters had
been, as a rule, on the side of the Demo-
Gratis, and the Am erican-born voters on
the side Of the Republicans. In 1896
this, too, was changed. 1t is safe TO say
that OF the 800 600 votes cast for Mr..
Bryan in 1896 west Of the Alleghanies
and north Of the Ohio, much less than
One-half had voted the Democratic
ticket in 1894. 1t was new party, nu-
merically stronger than the old, and in
finitely surprising it in the moral en-
thusiasm which came out Of the contest.
The old cry OF down with a man be-
cause he is a Democrat has passed
away. There are decent men in the
Republican party who want good gov
ernment, economy in public affairs and
the abolition Of machine rule. But in
national affairs the Democratic party is
today the only effective opponent of
trusts, of corporate greed and the part
nership between special interests and
the government that is straugling the
producer in its python coils,

THE POSITIVE NOTE in THIS CAM
PAICN.

Mr.. Bryan's courageous expressions
in favor Of the Boer Republics are
the refreshing feature Of an otherwise
fiat and uninteresting campaign. It
must nerve the arm of the Dutch Re-
publicans to know that one prominent
public man in the world unqualifedly
wishes them success, and II elected will
go into office pledged to encourage II not
befriend them in their struggle.
This positive quality is heightened by
the fact that Webster Davis, who held
next to cabinet position under McKin.
ley, has taken the stump for Bryan, and
incidently for the Beers. Free speech is
not dead, If the American administration
lie muzzled while Great Britain proceeds
to fasten her aristocratic monarchy
upon South Africa. Long life to Bryan,
Of Nebraska, and Davis, of Missouri.

PROTECTION FOR THE AMERICAN HOG

OLD BUSINESS" OF IOWA is DEAD

The soubriquet by which Senator Gear

much as he would run his own large

He was q man who made warm friend

hooks Of steel, ,as Shakespear puts il into
an old politicians mouth. He would 90

than he, or bag more game, political or

must appoint. Shaw is too much OF a

OF that state. And besides, younger

WILL ARRIVE FRIDAY.
Big Football Teams Will Devote One
Day to Signal Practice.

The Illinois team will play Indiana at
Newly Oval next Saturday afternoon. The
Illinois team averages between 10 and 175
pounds and the line will run 1T5 10 III
This is almost as heavy as the majority of
the Western elevens, although lighter than
both Michigan and Iowa.
One feature contributed to the defeat of
Illinois by Minnesota Saturday. Captain
Hall had small hopes of winning the game
in the face of such odds, and, fearful that
he would cripple his men past repair for
the Indiana game next Saturday, he re-
lieved several Of his stars in the last half,
and before the game ended had six substi-
tutes in the lineup. He received the worst
hammering of any of the Illinois players,
but his injuries are not serious, and IL is
thought that he will be able to resume
practice by Tuesday. In any event, he
will be in the game here next Saturday.
Captain Hall and the coaches-Smith. Holt
and Huf-would much rather win from
Indiana next Saturday than from Mime
sofa, and. in fact, from any team on their
schedule, with the exception Of Chicago
and Northwestern.
The Indiana players and substitutes were
weighed last week. Stripped. the eleven
averages III pounds. The seven forwards
run the scales up to 176 pounds, while the
four backs average 153 pounds. Captain
Foster is largely responsible for the light
ness OF the back field as he only weighs
137 pounds. The other three men are fairly
heavy. Indiana has the lightest center of
any of the big Western teams. but so far
Hurley, who only weighs 16S pounds has
been able to hold his own against some of
the heaviest men in the West. He Is all
bone and muscle and one of the fastest men
in the team. Both OF the guards are big
men, and are of great assistance to him in
stopping plays directed at the center O.
the line. Indiana Is well equipped in sub
stitutes, and Coach Horne has new center
in training, a freshman named Cobal, who
weighs 253 pounds. He is as yet green in
football knowledge, although playing CEN
ter on the freshman team. Cobal was
transferred to the varsity squad last week,
and will train with the regular men from
now on 1t is thought that by next season
he will be the strongest center i'm the West

An Independent Road.

The Evansville e. Terre Haute road, says

ating only about 300 miles of road. Its

Nashville on the south. AS link between
these two systems 1t completes a short line
from Chicago to the gulf. Rumors of its
absorption by one or another of its chief
connections have been frequent, but as
yet nothing definite has been done In that
direction. The E. x T. III. during the past
year, with net Invisible income of 1896. 633,
distributed dividends aggregating s203,607
leaving deficit of s7.034 for the year. The
profit and loss balance June 80 was S1.513, 1885,
as against $l,630, 260 June 80, 1899. The de-
crease beyond the deficit for. the past year
was due to the charging off of old and
worthless accounts.
