EXPOSURE

To cold draughts of air, to keen and cutting winds, sudden changes of the temperature, scanty clothing, undue exposure of the throat and neck after public speaking and singing, bring on coughs and colds. Ballard's Hore- hound Syrup is the best cure. Mrs. A. Barr, Houston, Texas, writes Jan. 3l, 1902: 'One bottle of Ballard's Hore. hound Syrup cured me of a very bad cough. It is very pleasant to take.

again during his official career. His
championing of the employers Iabil-
ity bill, the valuable services he rem
dered in the settling of the anthracite
coal strike, and scores of other in
stances, prove that he is labor's
friend. The president was not striking
at the rank and file Of labor over the
head of Mr.. Gompers. He was merely
expressing his disapproval. which is
shared by thousands of union men in
the country, of Gompers' attempt to
deliver the vote of labor to Bryan,
who does not use the union label on
his books and on his paper. and to the
Democratic party, whose record on the
labor question may be learned by an
investigation of the rotten labor con-
ditions in the south, the solid Demo
cratic south.
Mr.. Gompers cannot make the peo-
pie believe that President Roosevelt
strikes over any ones shoulder to hit
some one else. Mr.. Roosevelt strikes
straight out. There is nothing evasive
in his method of attack. When he as
sails Gompers he means Gompers, and

bear the party banner, and spirited
contest was held for the nomination.
Richard P. Bland of Missouri; Cover
nor Pattison of Pennsylvania and
Governor Boies of Iowa were recog-
nized as the leading candidates at
the time of the assembling of the con.
vention. But in the course Of the de-
bate on the free silver plank a new
leader was discovered. This man was
William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska,
who championed the cause of silver
on the floor Of the convention in a
brilliant speech of surprising elo-
quence, which so far swept the con-
vention off it's feet that he was nom
mated for the presidency on the fifth
ballot. Arthur Sewall, wealthy ship
builder of Maine, was nominated for
vice president.
That portion OF the Democratic
party opposed to free silver and in
sympathy with the Cleveland admins
tration withdrew from the support of
the Bryan ticket and at a convention
held at indianapolis on September Q
nominated General John M. Palmer of
Illinois for president and Simon Buck
ner of Kentucky for vice president on
a gold standard platform which en-
dorsed the Cleveland administration.
The populists met at st. Louis and
logically nominated Mr.. Bryan for
president. with Thomas e. Watson of
Georgia for vice president. Mr.. Bryan
received still third nomination from
the National Silver party, which met
in st. Louis at the same time.
The campaign which followed was
remarkable for the general discussion
Of financial and economic questions,
and for the unusual popular interest
aroused. Mr.. Bryan Travelled up and
down the country for months, speak
ing to vast throngs of people Mr.
Mckinley, on the other hand, remain
ed quietly at his home In Canton, Ohio,
and from his doorsteps welcomed over
100000 visitors and delivered over
300 speeches to visiting delegations.
The currency question was almost the
only question discussed by the cam
paign orators.
AS election day drew near the pop
ular interest and excitement reached
an unprecedented pitch. Not since the
civil war had the country been so
stirred by presidential election. Bust.
ness was TO large degree suspended
in expectation of the result. The Re-
puhlicans carried by unprecedented
majority every state north of the Pc.
tomac and Ohio rivers and east of
the Mississippi. For the first time
since the DAYS of reconstruction the
solid south" was broken, for the
Republicans carried Delaware, Mary
land, West Virginia and even Ken
lucky. McKnley's electoral vote was
271, while Bryan received 176. The
popular vote, however, was much
closer, McKinleys plurality over Bry-
an being only about 100000.

ed the presentation to have been with
out his authority. 1t was too late,
however, to bring about his nomina-
ton and Harrison won on the first bal
lot, although Blaine received 1872
votes. Whitelaw Reid, editor Of the
New York Tribune, was nominated for
vice president.
The Democratic convention met at
Chicago June 81 and nominated ex-
President Cleveland for first place and
Adla1 Stevenson of Illinois for vice
president. Considerable opposition to
Cleveland's nomination was manifest
ed in the south anC west, where his
hostility in the free coinage Of silver
had alienated many Democratic voters.
In spite of all opposition, however,
Cleveland was nominated on the first
ballot, receiving more than two-thirds
Of the vote of the convention, none Of
which came from his home state &C
New York.
The Peoples party, which had been
able to elect several members of con-
gress in 1890, and which had spread
rapidly over the south and west, now
held It's first national convention at
Omaha. July 2, and nominated General
James B. weaver OF Iowa for president
and James G. Field of Virginia for
vice president.
The Socialist Labor party nominated
Simon Wing Of Massachusetts, for
president, while the Prohibitionists
named John Bidwell to lead their for
lorn hope. Cleveland was elected by
a large majority. He carried the solid
south, and California, Connecticut, Del
aware, Illinois, Indiana, New Jersey,
New York and Wisconsin. The Demo
Gratis were also able to secure Ave
votes in Michigan. In consequence IF
law passed by the Democratic legis-
lature in 1891 providing for the
choice of presidential electors by dis
tricts rather than by general ticket.
Cleveland's total number of electoral
votes was 277 as against las for Harri-
son. His minority Of 10 in the cleo
ton of 1888 was turned into a major
ity over Harrison Of 1872. Both houses
of congress now had Democratic ma
jorities and for the first time in SO
years the Democrats had full con-
troll of both the executive and legisla-
tive departments Of the government.

The campaign OF 1896 has scarcely
become sufficiently connected with an.
Gent history to require chronology
In fact the campaign of 1896 is still
discussed in connection with the cam.
paign of 1908 because of the fact that
many Of the principal actors in one
are still the principal actors In the
other.
AS is we'll remembered, the question
of the free coinage of silver was the
paramount issue, although the discon.
tent and hard times which the Repub.
licans attributed to the Wilson bill,
gave great force to the Republican de-
mand for true protective tariff The
advocates of free coinage of silver
were sufficiently legion to bring the
money problem into first concern. All
Of the populists had been carried away
by this idea four years before, and
now that the Democratic party was
to make free silver the dominant Is,
sue, the populists Immediately Joined
forces and supported the Democratic
candidate
The first of the great national con.
ventions to assemble was that of the
Republicans, which met at st. Louis
on June 16. Public sentiment had al.
ready agreed upon William Mckinley
of Ohio as the nominee for president,
although Thomas B. Reed of Maine
had strong and influential following.
Mr.. Mckinley was nominated on the
first ballot, receiving more than two.
thirds of the votes of the convention,
while Garrett A. Hobart Of New Jer-
sey was chosen for vice president.
The Republican platform character
lied Cleveland's administration as one
of unparalleled incapacity, dishonor
and disaster. 1t eulogized protection
and reciprocity and opposed the free
coinage Of silver, with a demand for
the preservation Of the existing gold
standard. The adoption of the plank
favoring gold standard was opposed
by many free silver Republicans dele.
gates. Being defeated by an over
whelming vote of the convention, Sen
ator Teller of Colorado, the leader of
the free silver faction, followed by
some 80 free silver delegates, formal
ly withdrew from the convention and
refused to support the ticket. The
Democratic national convention met
at Chicago July. Z. 1t was plain from
the moment the convention assembled
that free silver delegates were in the
ascendancy, and that free silver was
to be the rule of the assembly. The
convention refused to endorse the ad-
ministration Of Mr.. Cleveland, des-
pite the strenuous efforts of his
friends, and probably this can be
traced directly to the fact that the
convention was free silver in senti-
ment, while Mr. Cleveland had strong
ly opposed free silver throughout his
public career. Public sentiment had
not been fixed upon any one man to

Mr.. kERN'S FAULTY MEMORY.

Kern spoke of the panic that the
Republicans say will follow the cleo
tion of Bryan and declared conditions
could not be worse than they are
now"
This is an extract from a speech de-
livered by Vice Presidential Candidate
Kern yesterday and published in yes
terday afternoons Courier. Mr.. Kern
may have fooled himself into believ-
ing he was speaking the truth, but he
cannot we'll expect TO fool the people.
1t is the general impression that
times are pretty good just now. The
farmer is getting good prices for his
products, the workingman is getting
good wages and the merchant is the
sharer in the prosperity of the farm
er and the worker When Mr.. Kern
says there is any comparison between
conditions now and conditions during
President Cleveland's administration,
when farm produce was rotting on the
farm, when the few workmen who
were employed were working, for
starvation wages, then he's shows
either faulty memory or DISPOSE
ton to deceive the voters.

The administration of President

The administration of President
Harrison was particularly notable in
political effect because of the admis-
sion during his term of many new
states to the union. In 1889 four ter.
ritories, North Dakota. South Dakota,
Montana and Washington, applied to
congress for state rights and received
them. The following year two other
territories, Idaho and Wyoming, were
also admitted to the union. Thus there
were six more states participating in
the election of 1892 than participated
in 1888.
1t is interesting to note in this con,
nection that Harrison was the cen,
tennial president Of the United States.
In other words, his administration
marked the one hulGredth anniyer-
sary of the foundation OF constitu.
tional government in the United
States.
The presidential contest of 1892 was
fought out on substantially the same
issue and between the same candi.
dates as were involved in the fight Of
1883. President Harrison had proved
to be an able and conscientious execu-
tive. but not a popular leader. His
personality was such that he failed To
attract men to his support as did
Blaine. and some of the other Repub.
lican leaders. To all except a small
coterie of intimate friends he appear.
ed almost uncourteous and indifferent.
Nevertheless, it would have seemed /.
confession of weakness in Republican
principles to have dropped Mr.. Harri.
son at the end Of his first term in
view of the fact that practically the
same principles were involved now as
four years before.
In February, 1892, James G. Blaine
had written a letter to the chairman
of the national Republican committee
announcing he would not under any
circumstances be a candidate for the
presidency. There can be little doubt
of his sincerity. for he was growing
old, was crushed by domestic bereave.
ment and was In failing health. New.
ertheless, there were many who pre-.
ferred Blaine to Harrison. When the
convention met at Minneapolis on
June Mr.. Blaine's name was pre-.
sented, although he afterward declar-

is just as true today as it was in '93
when the Wilson-Gorman bill put the
farm products down, and the labor of
the country out OF a job
Mr.. Bryan proposes a gradual re-
duction of the tariff until it reaches
revenue basis. That is. in effect,
Just the same old story. Wa
had during 1S93-94-95-96 about the
hardest times this country ever ex-
perienced. A man doesn't have to be
old to remember that. 1t was only
twelve years ago.
Twelve years ago today, October 81
1896, the highest price offered for
hogs in the Ottumwa market was
$40 Today the price is $3.50.
Twelve years ago today in the Ottum.
wa market the following prices gov
erned:
Wheat, per bushel. ..............4 0c
Old corn, per bushel. .......... .16c

Old oats, per bushel. .15c
Today the prices are as follows:
Wheat, per bushel. S5c
New corn, per bushel. soc
Old corn, per bushel. zoe
Oats, per bushel. .4Oc
Today labor is employed, and the
working man is getting sufficient
wages to enable him to consume the
products that the farmer raises. IN
the four years above referred to, labor
was unemployed, and the working
man did not have the money to buy
the farmers crops Instead of being
at work, men were marching across
the country crying for bread Those
were the days of Coxey's, Kelley's and
Hogan's armies.
Mr.. Bryan's election would bring on
to the country policy that will make
conditions like they were then. Mr.
Taft wants the present policy of good
wages for the workingman, and good
prices for the farmers products con
tinued. 1t certainly does not seem to
us that 1t should require much study
of the matter to decide which man we
should vote for.
