The Democratic and Republican
nominations represent all that Is in
tended to De represented By the parties
making lhem. On the one hand, Nc
Kinley represents the money power OF
the country, and the tremendous pros
perity enjoyed BY few, and unshared
by the rest He IS an ideal, Beau
Brummel candidate of that party,
which believes that the people cannot
be trusted in the control of govern
ment, and which believes in strong
government, and the control of the
people with an iron hand. In short, it
is party which believes that the en-
ployer has not only the right to die
tate what the employed shall do dur
ing his hours of labor, but also what
he shall or shall not do during the rest
of the time. On the other hand Bryan
represents probably in greater degree
than any other living American a Re-
publican form of government, and the
inalienable right of man to enjoy his
liberty, property and the pursuit. of
happiness, with as little interference
and control on the part of government
as is consistent with the safety of the
Republic. The Democratic platform
sounds the keynote of warning to the
country that the American Republic is
in danger, and it looks that way. An
other Republican Congress will not
fail to. fasten an army of 100, 900 on the
country. five are to NEEDLE in for

Daring the farline in Russia several
years ago, PUCK pictorial paper,
published picture of the Gar at a
dinner table, with a great. big turkey,
which he was carving, and the ex-
preston 81 deny that there is any
famine in Russia'' would suggest to
"Puck" that picture representing
Carnegie, Rockefeller, Pierrepont Nor
gan, G. P. Huntington, Fricke, and
other magnates, sitting around table
carving buildings labeled s42, DOC, 900,
s25, 900, OOo, sss1O, 900, 900, ETC., with the
expression, Look at the prosperity of

The nomination of Adlai Stevenson
for Vice President is not as popular in
the west and northwest as the nomina-
ton of @. A. Towne would have been,
but / consider it fully as strong to the
party, and probably stronger. He is
very popular in the great middle States,
and is man of great strength of char
actsr-so marked, indeed, that when
he was Vice President, he became very
distasteful to Grover cleveland, a
fact which will endear him to the
people. During the war he was a
peace Democrat, and therefore called
a Copperhead, when he ran for Vice
President before, the Republican press
attacked him, most virulently, but he
emerged triumphant, and with clean
hands. He does not believe in a
strong, paternal government, but rath-
er believes in the preservation of the
autonomy of the States, with the single
exception of a union between the
States for their mutual protection. He
opposed secession of the States, and
their right to secede, but he believed
and yet believes that the war could
readily have been averted, and who
can say him nay now? His nomination
will also go long ways towards tenn
pering the anti-silver feeling in the
party, while the nomination of Towne
would certainly have aggravated the
situation IN which the party finds itself
to some length divided on the financial
plank.
Queen Victoria has a string of titles
as long as my arm. She is Queen OF
Great Britain, Empress of India, SUI
zerain of different countries, and has
other titles. If the Republican party
succeeds in the ensuing election, at the
end of four years Mckinley will be
able to stand the Queen off. He will
be President of the United States
Prince of Hawaii, Protector of ths
Philippine Islands, Suzerain of Cubs
and Pubah of Porto Rico, with China
to hear from.
