JOIN Sullivan, B~ridgewater, N. Y
Guess l am more Of a Republican this
year. I shall certainly vote part of the
Republican ticket.
Barnard Gagan, Bridgewater, N. Y.
i shall vote for Mckinley this year.
l voted for him four years ago and
shall do the same now. l am a Demo-
crat, and when the Democratic party
comes back to my way Of thinking l
will be with them again.
G. L.. Randall, Bridgewater, N. Y
I think it will be well to leave things
as they are. I don't think a change
would make it any better.
G. N. Neal, B~ridgewater, N. VI I'M
a Democrat this year just the same as
always, but I am not in favor of free
silver. A man can be a Democrat and
not in favor Of Bryan. The times are
good enough without taking any
chances on a change.
William H. Barron, Bridgewater, N.
VI am going to vote the Republican
ticket this year. We are getting along
all right just as it is. A change would
not be any Improvement. 1 am very
much interested in Mr.. BrowneIls can
didacy and shall do all I can to help
him.
Byron Rose, Sauquoit, N. VI lived
in Utica until a while ago, and when
there marched with the Jacksoniars
and voted the Democratic ticket. This
year I shall vote for Mckinley for
President. The times are good enough
just as they are without any change.
c. L. Bowen, Sauquoit, N. VI used
to be a Democrat, and suppose I am
counted so now, but in these times ]
am a Republican. What is the use of
voting for Bryan and make things
worse than they were under Cleveland?
The times are good enough now.
Charles J.. B%onaparte, Baltimore,
Md, always an independent Democrat;
objects to the "undoubted socialistic
tendencies of the whole Bryan outfit"
Ernest Harvier, president of the In
dependent Democracy Of the Fifth AS
sembly IN. W district: Whatever
favor is due Mr.. Bryan and his party
for his emphatic denunciation Of i'm
perialism will be suppressed by their
stand on the currency"
The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1900-10-18

]. Lorraine, Clark Mills, N. VI
have been a Republican ever since the
last presidential election. Think, l
shall vote for Mckinley because the
times are better now then ever before.
w. Dennison, Oriskany, N. VI was
a Democrat until four year ago. l
s%hallsvote for Mckinley this year. We
want a continuation of the good times.
H. B. Harrison, Clark Mills, N. Y
I used to be a Democrat, but no silver
business for me. I think I shall be a
Republican hereafter. The Democratic
politicians are playing for selfish ends
and not for the good of the country.
Croker was able to overrule the whole
Democratic convention at Saratoga
When everybody else wanted Coler for
governor. Then he put an antitrust
plank into the platform and he is one
of the head men in trusts. I shall GER
tainly support Mckinley this year,
whatever 1 may do a~fterward.
P. w. Copeland, Clark Mills, N. Y
I used to be a Democrat. 1t is hard to
tell where the Democracy is now
adays. I think I shall vote for Mckin-
ley. I think that would be the wiser
way.
Arthur Wright, Clark Mills, N. Y
I am a Democrat, but I shall do as l
did four years ago, vote for Mckinley
as the less of two evils.
Lewis Farmer, Clark Mills, N. Y
I voted for Cleveland three times and
four years ago I voted for Mckinley.
I have no use for Bryan. I am going
to be a Republican. We had all the
Democratic administration under
Cleveland's last term that we wanted.
H. E. Palmer, Bridgewater, N. Y
AS a party we don't say much about
free silver. I guess that is the wiser
way. I am an expansionist. I don't
object to that part Of the administra-
tons policy.

WISCONSIN DEMOCRATS
ABANDONING BRYAN

Charles H. Schweizer, Lacrosse,
Wis. Formerly chairman of the Dem
ocrat1c City Committee and city attor-
ney: II have never been a Republican
and I have never been and am not now
in accord with Mr.. Bryan and his plat
form. Being convinced that Mr.. Bry-
ans election would result in disaster
Ito the country at large, presently or
ultimately I must refuse to aid or lend
comfort in any way to doctrines which
are SO pregnant with evils. Nor can l
find in the issue of imperialism any
real excuse for supporting Mr.. Bryan
and implicitly endorsing his financial
and Populistic heresies, an issue
raised to distract the attention
lof the voter, and especially Gold
democrats from these fallacies the
dangers of which were so thor
oughly exposed in the last election.
The best interests of the country de-
mand at this time the defeat of Mr..
Bryan and his principles. I feel, there
fore, that it is my duty to exert what
little influence I may command in OPP
posing his election, and to cast my
vote as my convictions dictate, for Nc
Kinley and Roosevelt
John Johnston, cashier Of the Marine
National Bank of Milwaukee, formerly
the Wisconsin Marine Bank, the Oldest
banking institution in the West, and
Alfred James, president of the North
western National Fire Insurance Com
pany, both leaders of the Wisconsin
Democracy, have declared for Presi-
dent Mckinley. Messrs. Johnston and
James have always been stalwarts of
the party. They declare that many
other Democratic business men are 60
ing to desert the Democratic party be-
fore the campaign is over. Mr.. Johnston
said: Eyes, l am a Republican, for the
present, at least. In 1896, when Bryan
was nominated at Chicago, free silver
was made the issue Of the campaign. I
was opposed to free silver then, and
have been ever since the issue was first
presented to the American people. I
think, were legislation enacted author
izing the free coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to l, the country would soon
go to ruin. I am a stanch advocate
of expansion. I am thoroughly con-
WINGED the acquisition of foreign terri
tory in the manner outlined by the
present administration will rebound to
the business interests of this country"

grocer Of Green Bay, Wis, who for
years has been a stanch Democrat, re-

IOWA DEMOCRATS WHO ARE
OPPOSED TO FREE SILVER

E. G. Graham, mayor of Stuart,
Iowa, and n of the leading demo-
Gratis of western Iowa, who sup
ported Bryan in 1896, has announced
that he should support Mckinley
and the Republican ticket this year
and will take the stump to advocate
the election of Mckinley. He stated
that he did so because he was OPP
posed to fusion; could not bear to
be called a Populist, and that he
had discovered that the prophecies
OF Bryan had come to naught. On

THE NATCRE OF BLOODHOUNDs.
A. Likely TO Rend and Devour the Fleeing VIC
tim a. II the Average Pus.

1T In a peculiar fact said Detective
Frank u Mitchell the other day. that the
general public has an entirely erroneous
idea as TO the nature and characteristics Of
the bloodhound The popular opinion IL
that he is beast Of giant frame and unusually
ferocious. with n penchant for eating the
criminal whom he has brought to bay. An
other common error Is that he can follow a
scent indefinitely, through thousand sin
uosities. though II may be intersected by
any number of other trails.
The average bloodhound Il no more to
be dreaded so far as his nerceness is con-
cerncd than pug He is n gaunt. raw
boned creature. with n head running TO a
peak. sleepy eyes and long, pendulous ear.
As to disposition. he is lazy His usefulness
lies chiefly in the keenncss OF his olfactory
nerves. enabling him to follow a fresh scent
many miles He seldom touches MS quarry
when run to earth. however. ana never docs
unless starved 20 IL. The bloodhound differs
from the English foXhound, In that hc never
gives tongue or bays while following a
scent

majority Of the voters ~ New York state
derive their livelihood from farms or from
business connected with farming the term

popular with lawmakers. Members OF both
branches Of the Legislature were chosen
This year. but only two OF them In the Senate
and only fourteen IN the Assembly, ont Of nfty
members In tho upper and $50 in the lower
branch. described Themselves as farmers.
the other members from rural districts select
Ing as more appropriate other descriptions
Of their vocation. Among the occupations
given by such s,enntor--eleCt are these Dealer
In real estate. dealer in land, mercantile
business and manager. Among the occUpa-
tlons represented among the A'Semblymcn-
elect are: Creamery dealer. real estate dealer
merchant, miller. produce dealer vnicul-
turist, brick manufacturer, -four dealer. oil

Ter by the discharge of travelling sales

the profits of the monopoly. The stock

To give a further guarantee to
the monopoly, the prospectus says that
the principal men connected with the
various companies would become iden-
titled with the company and would
contract not to engage in a like bust
ness for ten years. But what about
the public? What guarantee has the
public that this monopoly will NOT
raise prices? Is it not human nature
to make all the profit possible out of a
monopoly? Is it not reasonable to ey-
pect that the monopoly, after eliminat-
Ing the statesmen, and adding their
salaries, and expenses to the profit ac-
count, will seek a further profit by
raising prices, and lowering wages?
