In that campaign largely to the Democratic cam.
paign fund.
! submit this proposition upon this great
question Of trusts. submit when it appears
by the admission OF William Jennings BRYAN that
his Democratic party became the willing tools
OF the trusts in 1894, by what assurance now
can he ask the republic to elect the Democracy
to power again and take the chances OF their
again becoming the willing tools Of trusts when
he himself was q part Of the bargain, sale and
delivery, and he knows itH
DEMOCRACY CANNOT BE TRUSTED.
l left that question for him in Toledo, but
he won't answer 1t because there Is no answer
thereto that is consistent with the Democratic
programme. OF whom we take a bond and
make assurance doubly sure and trust the Dem.
ocracy again in this campaign. Thiie own
mouth condemneth thee and not I; yea, thine
own lips testify against thee. There Ia not
man that sits here that would employ an agent
that had behind him that record. II he did
and would sign his name to the statement Of
facts 1t would furnish him with certificate fol
admission to a retreat for the feeble.minded and
a continuance therein during the rest of his
natural lifetime. Why can't people do their
politics as they do their business?
Perhaps ought to stop here and explain what
a trust Is and state its constitutional limits
Now what is trust, that people are talking
about in this campaign? trust is simply this.
1t is an agreement entered into by corporations,
firms and individuals by virtue Of which tle con.
troll Of the properties of the parties to the agree.
ment is vested in board Of trustees; they have
the power to say what the output should be and
what the price Of it should tie. The board OF
trustees control the business and all the parties
thereto. The Standard Oil company was in 1883
trust like this, consisting of about forty diff.
ferent firms, individuals and associations, but the
Standard Oil company is now vast corporation;
there Is only one corporation now instead OF
forty different firms and individuals.
What they call trust today is large cor.
poration, nearly all of them organized under the
laws Of the state of New Jersey. My Demo
cratic friends when they refer to trust do not
say "trust"; they say OCTOPUS" and "Iaugger.

end OF the republic to the other crushing into

how bad he felt.
QUESTION OF MrLlTARisM.
I have Just few words TO say about the qucs.
ton Of militarism. because It has some bearing
in this community, I take It. Mr.. Bryans
proposition in this campaign is that we have
raised an army to 100000 men and that we
propose to continue a standing army and among
other things to erect forts near large cities for
the purpose Of interfering with labor troubles In
the republic. That is his proposition Now in
the first place the army now exists to the
amount Of 100000 men; the bill raising it re-.
ceivcd in the senate Of the United States the
vote Of twenty Democratic senators against
twelve, and when It passed It contained pro.
vision providing that the army was to be used
in the Philippine archipelago to qucll insurgents
and maintain lew and order. When It reached
the house seventy.hve Democrats voted to sis.
tain the rules when II should be voted upon
in the house, and when 1t came UP it passed
unanimously, every Democrat voting for 1t upon
the floor Of the house.
There is the responsibility for the army Of 10o,.
900 men resting upon the Democrats and Repub
lcans alike. The Republicans do not seek to
evade this responsibility. I want to say that II
1t is necessary TO keep the army at 100000 men
or 10000 men in order to maintain the dignity
OF the republic, law and order, protect life per.
sons and property, and see to the administration
OF justice in the lands where our flag floats,
and protect American citizens everywhere,
ABOUT WILLIAM CoNNELL IN CONGRESS-
Vote for Hon. William Connell who. by two
years faithful, efficient and effective service upon
the floor Of the lower house, has demonstrated
what an intelligent, self.made, conscientious man
can accomplish for the constituents he repre-.
sents; and l speak from personal knowledge
when say that no man on the floor in his capn.
city exercises more conservative and effective
influence that Hon. william Connell. from this
district Of Pennsylvania.
Let every Republican that believes in Repu.
licnn principles, in those that underlie the is.
sues in this campaign. and in the honor and
integrity Of the republic, vote to return him
by an overwhelming and increased majority. in
order that we may have not only the admins
tration, but the lower house. with the speaker
thereof, and the senate Of the United States,
so that the Republican party may again bless
the republic with fours years Of its glorious and
unparalleled prosperity.

1t is especially incumbent upon the citizens of
Mt Glare to use every possible precaution to pre-
vent the spread of small pox not only for the good
of their own community but also for the welfare of
the entire county. They, as well all citizens
of the county generally should give immediate heed
and strict obedience to the suggestions, require
ments and orders of the county and State boards
of health, whose plans should be gospel and whose
authority is the law of the land the subject
Though there have been some indiscretions not
intentional, however yet there need be- and should
be, no more. Concerted action and strict obedi-
ence to the mandates of the officers in reference to
quarantine and vaccination will quickly and ef-
fectually stamp out the disease. Let a ] with one
accord work to that end.

The official call for meeting of the State
League OF Republican clubs is timely and tho sug.
gestions contained therein are wise Thorough
organization is ever urgent and can not be amiss
in the coming campaign in West Virginia, notwith-
standing the fact that there is occasion for the
slightest alarm on the Republican side. Over
confidence never wins a battle, but sometimes
brings defeat. It's best to nave our lamps trimmed
and burning. We can best do this by thorough
organization and the dissemination of literature
relating to good and substantial government Har-
r1son county Republicans should have strong rep
resentation and an active part in this good work.
Let immediate and effective steps be taken to that
end.

time struck the key note in the election of United

been much more graceful, however, for that kind
of bill to have been sprung by the senate. itself,

and if it runs the gauntlet successfully, we need
