THE COMING CONTEST.

Bryan's published statements, made in London, to the effect that he is more radical than he was in 1896 and private letters received from him in which he stated that if the Belmont-Ryan crowd showed up at the recep tion in New York, he would not stop there but take the first train west, has got the gang of gold Democrats who proclaimed him as their candidate into a pretty muddle. For several days they have been as silent as the tomb. No one ever belived, when tEe old goldbugs made their flaming announcements, declaring Bryan as their conservative" candid ate for the presidency, that they intended to support him. What were after was to kill Hearst, and when they got rid of Hearst, they could nominate another Palmer and Buckner ticket to catch the gudgeons and then vote the Republican ticket them selves as they did before.
 The truth is that the money power" can never be oVerthrown until the masses get together. The first step in that direction has already been taken. There are three men in the United States whom the people can trust, because their records have already been written in such large letters that all the people can read them. These three men have been leaders in the Popu-

work. After a long time Myers told Smith that times were gett- ing hard, and he would have to drop his wages a little, but that he would still give $1 for his family, daily, and credit him with $2 on the house. He had now paid $500. There was $2, left to pay, which, at $2 per day, Smith could pay in one thousand days. Still Smith kept at work. After a while Myers again cut his wages to $2.50 per day. Smith had paid another $500, and there was only $1, 800 left to pay, which, after Smith had received $1 for his family and got credit for $1.50 on his house, would enable him to pay it all in one thousand days. That killed Smith.
 His wife, having a little curi- osity, went to a spirit medium to find out what had become of her husband. The medium rang up the long distance telephone and asked: IS this heayen?n Yes, o ;, was the answer. Is Smith there?' "Yes,' came the ans wer. Whats $ he doing?' Hes singing. Here Mrs. Smith de- cIared 1t was not her Smith, for her Smith could not sing. But the angel said that people who could not sing a note on earth could sing beautifully in heaven. Still she was not satisfied, and asked. What is he singing?" and the answer came: He is singing:

list, Democratic and Republican parties and have the confidence of the reform voters in all those parties. Whatever mistakes these men have made in the past-and some of them have been very serious ones-it can not be de- nied that each of them is wiser than he was ten years ago and takes again. If the 12,OOO, 900 voters in the United States were not likely to make the same mis- asked to write the names of these three men, more than one-half of them would instantly write Watson, LaFollette and Bryan.
 The people have had enough of corporation-controlled conven- tions and machine politics. All they need to wipe the infamies of corporation rule from the face of the earth is for some man to develop skill in organization that will bring the voters who re ally want reform into a CO., herent mass. where every vote will count for the overthrow of plutocracy. It will take every reform vote in all parties to do 1t and it even then will be such a fight as the world never saw be fore.
 The power of money! Who can conceive it? Think of free trans portation within t h e States -I something that Congress can not regulate! Think of paid speak CTS in every school district Think of tons of mail matter franked all over the country. Think of a plutocratic press send ing out hundreds of millions of copies of falsehooods! Think of the ignorance of the mass of people of all economic subjects and the facility with which they can be deceived and controlled, Think of all this on one side of the controversy, with no money and only the desire to give the Republic good government on the other! What a contest that will be! Is there any possible hope of success? None at all unless every vote is made to count for the purpose. None at all unless these men can bring their followers into one fold where men will stand shoulder to shoulder and fight to finish.
 Can such a thing be accom- plished? Will some Napoleon of organization arise and make an army out of these scattered CO., horts, whose fire will be concen- trated on the enemy and not on each other?

 Pa in their first national conven-
 Inn, invoking upon their actions

 he following preamble and de-
 laration of principles:
 The conditions which surround
 best justify our cooperation;
 Ee meet in the midst of a nation
 0ught to the verge of moral, IoGtical and material ruin. Cor
 |lption dominates the ballot-boX,
 he legislatures, the Congress | nd touches even the ermine on

 Doralized; most of the States
 lave been compelled to isolate

 Ireyent universel intimidation or |ribery. The newspapers are Ergely subsidized or muzzled,
 ublic opinion silenced, business
 rostrated, our homes covered Eith mortgages labor impover- Ehed and the land concentrating

The fruits of the toll of billions are boldly stolen to build )p colossal fortunes for a few, Unprecedented in the history of hankind, and the possessors of |hese in turn despise the Repub- Dc and endanger liberty. From |he same prolific womb of govern hental injustice we breed the (wo great classes tramps and hillionaires.
 The national power to create honey is appropriated to enrich POndholders; a vast public debt, payable in legal tender currency, pas been funded into gold-bear- pg bonds. thereby adding mill pms to the burdens of the people.

" issue but one. They propose to drown the outcries of plunder- ed people with the uproar of a sham battle over the tariff, so that capitalists, corporations, na- tlonal banks, trusts, watered stock, the characterization of sill yer and the usurers may all be lost sight of. They propose to sacrifice our homes, lives and chil- dren on the altar of mammon, to destroy the multitude in order to secure corruption funds from the mllllonalres. Assembled on the anniversary of the birthday of the nation and filled with the spirit of the grand general chief, who established our independence we seek to restore the govern ment of the Republic to the hands of the plain people" with whose class 1t originated. We assert our purposes to be identical with the purposes of the national Con- stltution, to form more perfect union and establish justice, in- sure domestic tronquility, pro vide for the common defense promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity.
 We declare that this republic can only endure as a free govern ment while built upon the love of the whole people for each other and for the nation. that it can not be pinned together by bay onets, that the civil war is over and that every passion and re- sentmen which grew out of it must die with it, and that we must be in fact, as We are in name one united brotherhood. Our country finds itself confronted by conditions for which there is no precedent in the history of the world. Our annual agricultural productions amount to billions of dollars in value which must in a few weeks or months be ex- changed for billions of dollars of commodities consumed in their production; the existing curren- cy supply is wholly inadequate to make this exchange. The re- suits are falling price, the form ation of combines and rings, the impoyerishment of the producing class. We pledge ourselves that if given power we will labor to correct these evils by wise and reasonable legislation in accord ance with the terms of our plat form.
 We believe that the powers of government in other words, of the people should be expanded Gas in the case of the postal ser vice) as rapidly and as far as good sense of an intelligent peo- pie and the teachings of eXper- fence shall justify, to the end that oppression, injustice and pov- erty shall eventually cease in the land.
 While our sympathies as par tv of reform are naturally upon the side of every proposition which will tend to make men in- telligent, virtnous and temperate we nevertheless regard these questions important as they are as secondary to the great is- sues now pressing for solution, and upon which not only our in- dustrial prosperity, but the very existence of free institutions de- bends, and we ask all men to first help us to determine whether we are to have a Republic to ad- minister, before we differ as to the conditions upon which it is to be administered, believing that the forces of reform this day or ganized will never cease to move forward until every wrong is : ol o,,J oc,,,ol vi If c opd ,lriu

should not have to borrow from
Peter to pay Paul." especially if we
have to pay per cent. in so doing.
If the present Fiscal Court did not
have to use most of the present
years collections in paying indebt-
edness created heretofore, many
needed public improvements could
be made, or the tax rate reduced.
We hope through all this discus
sion our readers will not forget, that
the Herald stated last fall that Ohio
county would be out of debt January
l, 1906. 1t did not say the county
would be out of debt, except S24.-
600. which could be paid out of the
1906 taxes. If it had made that
statement, there is no telling what
the majority against its candidates
would have been.
The Herald nor any one else has
successfully. or even seriously ques-
toned the figures given out by
the special committee which
found the Indebtedness of Ohio
county January /, 1906, to be s24,-
lS2. .46.
The Hartford republican., 1906-03-16
COUNTY INDEBTEDNESS STILL
S24,1S2.46.

After three weeks of prayerful
consideration. with occasional vain
fiounderings, the Herald has not sue
ceeded in reducing the amount of
Indebtedness as stated by special
committee appointed by the Fiscal
Court to ascertain the same. We
are accused of doubling an item of
SO, 700 to make the item of Sc, ,046. 10.
We did nothing of the kind. The
item of So, 700 is carried by the Bank
IF Hartford and is, we are reliably
informed, part of the cost of the
so-called pike between Hartford and
Beaver Dam. The S6,046.10. dec.
80, 1905, allowance), was made for
the most part to the Champion
Bridge Co. for IndianCamp Creek and
Hamilton Ford bridges, and to Muir
ply Bros. for abutments at Ambrose
Ford, and Hamilton Ford. You will
find the orders covering the $6,046.-
10 item in Order book %, page so.
So much for doubling items. If
any doubling has been done, it was
done by the committee and not by
this paper. We would be glad to
find it not so bad as stated. We are
compelled to admit, however, that
so far as we have had occasion to in
vestigats, the figures given by the
committee are absolutely correct.
The Herald states that 1.-THE Janu-
ary, 1906, Fiscal Court allowances
are all included in the $3,573.S4." !"
Wrong again. The $3.573.S4, is in
debtedness created by the 1905 Fis-
cal Court and not one cent was in
cluded in that amount, of allowances
for this year, by the committee.
The Herald has another dodge,
by which it evidently hopes to fool
somebody. 1t makes the astonish-
ing claim that much of the indebt-
edness found by the committee is
not really Indebtedness at all, be.
cause it is contracted to be paid out
of the 1906 taxes. Now, really,
brother, we have been afraid to
treat this contention in any manner
except as joke, for fear the public
will think we are both silly. Each

sorrow and death were each stifled
alike by their drunken stupor. About
midnight Pat awoke and stretching
fourth his feeble bony hands touch
ed the thing at his side and found
that it was cold in death. The wat
ers of Lethe had indeed washed out
the dead mans sorrows, but Pat
was left with his own multiplied.
Then because Pat knew poverty, and
suffering ana had tasted the dregs
in the cup. he rifled the dead mans
pockets and was found with him late
the next morn. drunk and reproach-
ing the dead man for leaving him.
Pat when arrested surrendered $780,,
the money taken from the dead man
and told the story here written.
Those who heard him believed him
for death has already marked Pat
and he must soon fulfil the judgment
of the court that never errs. because

The board has been created, but no

stead, it is made up of three of the
most notorious machine politicians
