Alabama, has been wise and statesman

criticism. tits an expansion Democrat,
who knows the difference between ex-

1t is becoming evident that Mr.. Bry-
an does not want much said about free
silver before the election. The Ameri-
can people, however, are not so much
concerned in what may be said before
election as in what will be done after
the election.

New Jersey and Alabama have about

yet Mckinley alone polled more votes
in New Jersey than Alabama polled
altogether.
IF you see it in one of Mr.. Hearsts'
papers, printed in black-faced type three
or tour columns wide you may assume
that it is not SO.
It USED to be the robber tariff with
Mr.. Bryan and then it was the robber
