night the same man. with seemingly
more magnetic influence, attracted
such mighty multitude to see and

was $4,000. II was such 4 mass Of hu.

terday was a continuous ovation His
entrance into Cincinnati last night was
a veritable triumph. Not even in the
exciting days Of 1895 was the Nebrag-
kan accorded such overwhelming evi-
dence of popular interest in himself
and his utterances.
That there should have been mani
tested such tremendous enthusiasm
for him in the home town of Mr. Taft
has excited greatest wonder There
can be only this explanation. Either
Mr. Bryan still exerts that magnetism
of presence and voice which alone
charm the multitude, or else he has
grown so greatly in the esteem OF the
public by his more recent uttorances
that the thousands would attest their
devotion and loyalty to the cause he
represents by their presence and plau-

THE NEW YORK DEMOCRATS.

One Of the best signs OF the cam
paign in the East is the harmony that
prevails among the Democrats of New
York. At their state convention last
week every element in the party was
represented and all past differences
were buried in order that a united sup
port might be given to the national and
state tickets. Lewis s. Chanler, the
nominee for governor is a popular
man and satisfactory TO all members
of his party
So far as Mr.. Bryan is concerned
New York is no longer the enemy's
country This fact was demonstrate
ed throughout the convention. When
ever his name was mentioned IL was
cheered enthusiastically. And when
he appeared before the convention 20
speak, Mr. Bryans reception was such
as to prove beyond question that he
was in the house OF his friends"
1t has been apparent for several
weeks that New York means to cast its
electoral vote for Bryan and Kern.
The unity Of the Democrats is enough
in itself TO guarantee Democratic sue
cess, but the fight that is going on be-
tween the Republican factions makes
the result certain.
Roosevelt dictated the nominations
OF Hughes for governor, just as he
dictated the nomination of Taft for
president, and defeat will follow in both
cases. The average man resents presi-
Dental bossism. In 1888 President
Arthur ordered the nomination OF Fol.
ger for governor and Grover Cleveland
beat him 100000.

DEMOCRATS. BE ON YOUR GUARD.
From the Marion Leader.l

From the Marion Leader.
On last Monday evening the Chron-
icle OF this city printed alleged inter
views with about fifty saloon keepers
OF Marion and Grant county. I'm which
II made these said liquor dealers say
in substance that they were ali OPP
posed 10 the election OF Jim Watson
for governor. as il would mean the
ruination Of their business. They were
also made to say that they favored the
election OF Tom Marshall for COVER
nor. as il meant the salvation OF their
business.
On Tuesday the Leader called upon
these saloon Keepers and in every in
stance the interviews in the Chronicle
were pronounced as forgeries. Not
one liquor dealer in Marion could be
found who had uttered one word to
that paper or any other paper on the
subject Of state politics
The object of the Chronicle in print
ing these bogus interviews with
liquor dealers is very plain. II is ex-
pected that temperance Democrats Of
the state can be reached by such de.
ception.
Seventyfive per cent OF the saloon
keepers misduoted are Republicans
and are loud in their denunciation Of
such dirty politics.
On Tuesday Of this week this same
Chronicle had printed $4,000 copies Of
their issue of last Monday containing
the bogus interviews. These were
shipped to the Republican state head
quarters at indianapolis for distribu-
tion over the state OF Indiana Not
satisfied by trying to betray their own
party workers in Grant county. the
Chronicle. with the assistance of the
state Il, publican organization. now de-
sires to fool the people of Indiana.

from saloon keepers.

MARSHALL AND WATSON.

During the special session OF the
legislature last week James f. Wat

hand in glove with the Republican
state machine. ON THE OTHER
HAND, Thomas r. Marshall, the Dem

NAMED away from indianapolis. He
had advised the Democratic members
to vote as the party platform and their
consciences dictated. Beyond that he

TAFT ON WAGES
OF Men. Widows and Orphans.

While Mr. Taft was making a speech
to the Republican clubs in Cincinanti
last week a man in the gallery asked
him what he was going to do with
the unemployed" In answer Mr.. Taft
said:
"I'll tell yeu what would do with
the unemployed ! would have them
vote the Republican ticket this fall.
and they will get employment"
This is mere assertion. The Repub-
lican party is in power, and yet for a
year millions Of men have been out Of
employment If the Republican party
can give employment to men who
vote the Republican ticket this fall" ="
why did IL take employment away
from them.
But let us look below. Here Is dis
patch dealing with employment and
wages subject to Republican control,
which we reproduce. headlines and all,

President Roosevelt and w. r.

welt is willing to go to help the man
that he forced on the Republican par
" by using the power of his Office.
Two years ago, however. Mr.. Roosevelt
sent Elihu Root, a member of his cab
met, into New York state especially
to attack Hearst Among other things

"Mr. Hearst is guided by the turmoil
OF infamed passions, selfish motives

But now Mr.. Roosevelt seems willing
to accept Hearst's help in the cam
paign. Mr. Bryan is fortunate in hav-
ing Hearsts opposition.

For these reasons business matters

Taft should be elected.

On the other hand:
The Democratic party has gained

II has the confidence OF the people.

Judge Taft is travelling in high state.
He has a special train. two Pulmans.
buffet car and a baggage car. He
enjoys the constant services Of a valet.
a physician. a masseur and a special
press agent. or course no man I'm the
world has spent so much money in the
past I'm travelling as has the former
secretary OF war, but IL was then the
money OF the people and no one will
accuse him today of being as lavish
with public funds as he was when he
had control of them. Yet as a mere
matter OF curiosity we would like to
question exactly how special trains
and a colnple@ retiDue OF courtiers
are being paid for by a man who
rather boasts that In all his adult years
he has had nothing but the salaries
that friendly politicians have secured
Tor him.
Just how extensively Judge Taft
Travelled when he was secretary OF war
with the people paying the bills NAV

He was gone three weeks and the cost
is said to have been $4,000 for the
expenses Of himself. his servants. re-
