Republican candidate is running on his
record and the Democratic candidate is do
ing his best to run away from his.-Lafay-
ette Courier.
If either faction of the Democratic party
is half as bad as the other faction says it
is, we don't see much use in depending
upon the Democratic party for very much,
even as a party of opposition.-Huntingto ton
Herald.
The reorganizers are reluctantly admit
ting that Bryan's power is greater than
they thought, but make a point in demon
strating that it is greatest in those States
the Democracy is least likely to carry
-Terre Haute Tribune.
Congress. we are assured by members
who ought to know, will not attempt to

Outside of Wall street, the financial situ-
alton is as nearly satisfactory as 1T is pos

The startling news is flashed to the World

No better proof that Wall street is mere
ly a business thoroughfare in New York
| could be had than the equanimity of the
country in general while Wall street is in q
| state of turmoil and gloom. The warning
6nanciers and stock gamblers do not have
much to do with conditions that make
| bountiful crops and little more have they
| to do with the conditions that keep the
| smoke pouring from factory chimneys. The
| country prospers while Wall street frets
| and wonders. Wall street is merely the
| hy on the wheel.-Fort Wayne Sentinel
