age a sweetheart.
| How to manage the tariff.
These two subjects and many inter
vening ones were explained by aJmes
! Sherman, vice presidential candidate
of the Republican party, during the
second day of his "whirl wind cam
| paign." During his trip he visited
eight towns and upward of twenty
thousand persons listened to his ad-
dresses.
! To the girl students at the public
schools of Princeville he told the fine
| points of handling a love affair. Just
| how the beau should act and how the
girl should act was explained minute
ly, while the girls giggled, blushed and
murmured, Isn't he the dear? Where
did he learn it ALP
He supplemented his instructions on
love with a strict injunction to the
girls to make their sweethearts vote
right-for the Republican ticket.
The protective tariff in its effect on
labor he discussed before the en-
ployes of the great plow works at Mo-
line.
| Mr.. Sherman and his party started
out early today fom Peoria.
At Wyoming, Toulon, Galva, and
Cambridge the population turned out
to hear the candidate discuss the is
sues from the car platform. At Cam
bridge Mr.. Sherman took occasion to
reply to a speech made by William ].
Bryan in Philadelphia in which the
Nebraskan declared that Judge Taft
had accused him of abandoning issues.
"If that statement isn't true" said
M. Sherman, "Mr. Bryan is still for
free silver"
At Rock Island he addressed an au-
dience at the state fair. In addition,
the gathering was addressed by Con-
gressmen William B. Mckinley and
Frank o. Lowden, both of Illinois, and
Congressman Nicholas Longworth of
Ohio. In his address Mr.. Sherman
made a comparison of President Lin
coin and Mr.. Bryan, declaring that the
Democratic leader relies for support
on the forces which opposed Lincoln.
In his address at Rock Island, MI.
Sherman said:
am told that this is a Republican
, day, and my theme shall be something
of comparison Of the early leader of
Republican thought and action with
the present dictator Of so-called Dem
ocratic declarations and protested in
tentions.
The present canvass shows again the
fool of the ass that put on lions
skin.
The managers of Mr.. Bryan's press
bureau are attempting to conjure votes
for him by the use of the sacred name
, of Lincoln. Aesop declared that when
the ass lifted up his voice and brayed
every one knew him, and his owner
came up and gave him sound cudgel'
ing. The warning falls on deaf ears.
The partisan who tries the same tricks
invites like shame and punishment. The
audacity of the device may capture
some of the unwary.
4 In so far as he has party behind
3 him, Mr.. Bryan is the candidate OF
those who maligned and ridiculed the
i first and greatest president the Re-
D publican party has given to the ma
: ton. Mr.. Bryan relies for support on
; the forces which at every step opposed
1 Lincoln, which obstructed the meas
ures of war and peace of that saviour
= Of the union, and pronounced the Pro
clamation Of Emancipation a mon
strous crime.
In his earlier campaigns he counted
. !. most of the states which elected Lin
= coin "the enemy's country" He has
. never accepted the principles and pol
. icies which glorified the administra
: ton of that martyred patriot. Wha
:, proofs can he offer that he is dis
!, ciple Of the president who struck down
= slavery, who signed the Morrill, tar
; If, who stood steadfastly for protec
tion and made possible the presen
grandeur of the united republic? Lin
, coin was elected in 1850 by the cleo
: toral votes of all the free states ex
cept three from New Jersey, which
!. were cast for Douglas. 1t was agains
J., him that the mischief and threat o
:, the solid South came to terrorize gu
q politics.
Lincoln States Oppose Bryan.
IS He has had slight favor from thos
II who learned their faith from that wis
is statesman, and the states which brok
IT down the slave power have with rar
n exception refused to accept the vag

faithless to the party of the great en-
IS ancipator? In 1900 the states whic
y elected Lincoln cast all their influenc
~ against the candidate who now reache
for the strength of that hallowe
name?
Why should any citizen who ad
