the decline in such securities has
contributed no little to the over
throw of conf dence. What
caused this tremendous slump in
securities, backed by industries
yielding handsome interests, is
left for Republican publications
to explain, as they have spent
many years in telling the people
the cause of the decline in sheep
under the Cleveland Administra-
ton. Not only has stocks and
bonds shrunk in value, but near
ly all products of field, forest and
factory. All this should be ex-
planned, and doubtless will be by
the expert acc ccuntants of the G.

The Cleveland bond issue was
the Republican text for years.
The cry of hard times was their
meat and bread. No explanation
would be accepted that tended
to mitigate that awful sin. How
is it now? Cleveland condemn
ed, Roosevelt praised-the one
committed a crime, the other dis
played great craftsmanship!
The love of country is often sub
ordinate to party loyalty. The
issuing of bonds by Cleveland
was necessary to save the coun-
try, by Roosevelt to save his par
ty, but it's not yet certain that
it will be accomplished.

Cannon, of Illinois, was renom-

officers of the House were re-

New York district. At the cau-
Gus of the Democrats, Hon. John
Sharp Williams was nominated
for Speaker.

One thing is certain. and that
is that the Democrats are not re-

of factories, the curtailment of
railroad improvements, the Gre

the money market.

this writer, finds a healthy outlet in
work, woman has no imperative duties,
