Philadelphia, Oct 25.
A patriotic call has gone forth to
the citizens Of the great American re-
public to be on their guard against the
Democracy as they were in the last
two presidential campaigns when the
national honor was at stake.
While the Parker managers insist
that the money question is no longer
an issue, Bryan is on the stump de-
claring that the election Of Parker
viii ultimately bring about the great
reforms for which he fought in 1896
and 1900.
The entire plan of campaign of the
present Democratic national machine
is in line with the assaults upon the
honor and the flag of the country
which were made under the Chicago
and the Kansas City platforms.
The patriotic young Americans
must be reused to action now as they
were then.

could be no better way to inject the
proper spirit into the First Voters"
of the country than that which was
adopted when the credit of the ma
tion was in peril. Then many hun
dreds of thousands of citizens, Demo
Gratis of the old school, as we'll as Re-
publicans, run up the American flag
and kept it flying until the people
demonstrated that Bryan and his an
archiStic doctrines had no place in
the hearts of a great majority OF the
voters.
Parkers recent sensational utter
ances. which were calculated to in
cite the Filipinos to attack the Ameri-
can troops now stationed in the Phil
ippines. and Cleveland's free trade de-
liverances. are quite in line with the
BryanistiC campaigning of four and
eight years ago. 1t is declared that
there is just as much need now to
run up the American flag for the honor
and glory of the nation and to show
that the voters are not In sympathy
with such teachings, as there was in
the last two nationtl campaigns.
The flag is the emblem, not Of a
party, but of the people as a whole
Let those who believe that the honor
and greatness of the flag will be best
promoted by continuing the policy of
protection and sound currency display
their country's banner, and with 1t the
names of Roosevelt and Fairbanks, the
champions who stand for the policy
which has made and will keep this
country strong and prosperous.
Hang out the flag, and show that
you stand for the flag, for protection
and prosperity,
ACTIVITY AT HEADQUARTERS.
These are busy days at the Repub-
this city. Senator Boies Penrose, the
chairman of the committee, and Col
onel Wesley K. Andrews, the secre-
tary. rarely leave the headquarters
on Locust street until midnight, and
frequently the secretary is obliged to
remain until o'clock in the morning
getting off the mail
While the election of the Republi-
can electors in Pennsylvania Is a fore
gone conclusion, the Republican cam
paign has been run upon the policy
that there must be nothing taken for
granted and that the size of the Re
publican majority in this state will
have much influence upon public SEN
timent throughout the country after
election
II is pointed out that with the Demo
Gratis reviving their campaign for a
reduction of the tariff. falling off in
the Republican vote in Pennsylvania,
the home of the American policy of
protection. would properly be taken as
