Publicity for Campaign Contributions.

One hears many Republican sneers
at Bryan's reported intention to have
the Denver Convention adopt the
blanks urged by La Toilette at Chic
ago. but there refused. What infantlle
strategy, it is said. But there is at
least one of those planks which may
plague the Republicans more than
they imagine. We mean the den1 I'D
for publishing all campaign contribu-
lions and expenses. 1t was voted down
at Chicago by $50 to "a. Previously,
the Mccall bill to compel publicity Of
campaign accounts had been myster-
iously done to death in Congress. 1t
was one matter of pending legislation
in which the President took no inter-
est. If now the Democrats at Denver
take the stone which the Chicago
builders rejected and make it the head
of the corner, the Republicans will be
put on the defensive in matter where
their record is peculiarly vulnerable
Bryan will certainly make great play
with the Standard Oil and Beef Trust
and Hartman contributions to Mr..
Roosevelt's fund in 1904. The only
way to meet him will be to volunteer
complete publicity. To that, the Re-
publican Committee may as we'll make
I'D it's mind from the start. And II
Bryan is both sincere and shrewd in
this business, he will call also for an
account of the preliminary expenses
of the nomination.. Should he give
out full statement of what he him
self had spent, the Taft family would
be forced to do the same. Then we
should find out exactly how much un-
der 100000 Brother Charles paid out.

Bryan Strong With the People.

"The nomination of Secretary Taft
does not necessarily mean that he will
be elected President of the United
States" said former Representative
John ]. Lentz, of Ohio. Il will use
Senator Foraker's statement, and say
that Secretary Taft will have hard
time being elected
Personally, 1 believe Bryan will
make wonderful showing. He is
already nominated. Of course, the
convention has to be held as mat
ter of formality, but it isn't really
necessary. The Nebraskan occupies
a prominent place in the estimation
of the people, and 1 am of the opinion
that he will show the Republican
party thing or two next fall.
sThose who are advocating Gov.
Johnson for the Presidency are doing
SO because they oppose Bryan. 1t is
not because they know Johnson, or
approve his principles, but merely
because they want to see Bryan de-
feated. 1 believe the Democratic
party will get large number OF Re-
publican votes, and also receive the
support of organized labor. The at
tempt on the part of the Republican
national convention to pacify labor
failed miserably. The attempt was
made to pull the wool over labor's
eyes, but it did not quite succeed.

Issues of the Campaign.

Hon. VIM. H. Berry, of Pennsyl-
vania, in an interview few days ago,
said:
''The Republicans have candidate
for President nominated by the office
holders and candidate for Vice
President selected as a sop to the plu-
tocracy; therefore we have a combi-
nation of officeholders and plutocracy
against candidate of the Democratic
party who will be selected by the peo-
pie, and the issues of the campaign
will be-
First CURLING the tendencies to
Capitalization of power and the resto-
ration of political power of the coun-
try to the people.
Second A sound currency system
to be established, under which suf-
ficient volume of legal-tender reserve
currency can be held in the banks to
sustain on safe basis the credits
necessary to conduct our business on
a scale that will give full employment
to capital and labor.
Third The same treatment OF all
conspiracies that aim to restrict pro-
duction and establish monopoly, and
the creation of condition where the
demand for labor will equal or exceed
the supply and set the workingmen
of the world at liberty"

CLEVELAND WELL GUARDED.
Assassination of Garfield Made Pro-
found Impression Upon Him.

No President has ever been more
vigilantly looked after in Washington
then was Mr.. Cleveland Other Chlef
Msgistrates walked about the streets
ungua rded. Mr.. Cleveland never walk
ed. He did not even allow any per-
son to stand under the White House
porte cochere when he alighted from
his carriage. He established little
sentry houses about the White House
grounds from which guards kept their
eyes on persons coming and going.
The newspapers made a great deal
OF fun of these chicken cOopS, as
they were called. Secret Service men
were at President Cleveland's heels
whenever he left the White House.
and thirteen of the regular police
force of Washington most of them in
citizens dress, were constantly on
duty at the Executive Mansion. Mr..
Cleveland seemed to avoid appearing
in public, and resorted to many pecu-
liar and dangerous expedients to keep
out of sight. For instance, whenever
he would arrive at railway station
here or was to leave the city by rail,
instead of doing as all other Pres1-
dents and high officials do-entering
manner-he would have the White
House carriage driven to the Smith
sonian grounds, and board the train
in the station yard.
To accomplish this the then spirited
"seal browns" were driven across the
trs cks where ordinary carriages were
not permitted to go. often at great
risk. The coachman frequently said
that he never drove there without
great fear of an accident.
1t was known that the assassina-
ton Of Garfield by Guiteau had natu-
rally made profound impression upon
Mr.. Cleveland. When Vice President
Hendricks died Mr.. Cleveland did not
accompany the remains to Indiana or
attend the funeral. The reason given
YVES that Mr.. Cleveland was not able
to rid himself of a superstition which
seemed to haunt him that he would
meet similar fate, $3.50

Rivals did not hesitate to cartoon one
another in their fralities in political
hot days. One would be portrayed
leaning befuddled against bar; an
ather, in retort the next day, playing
with fifth ace under the table.
Denver, like other youngsters, had
it's measles and whooping-cough, and
chicken-pox. Fire tried to wipe it out
once or twice in the early days, and
Cherry Creek, miserable tributary
OF the Platte, almost washed the town
away after one of those cloudbursts
which have been described. But Lead
Vile poured it's millions into the city
when the placers of the foothills and
the earlier discoveries up Clear Creek
Canon became less prolific. 1t was
too big a city, had too many trunk line
railroads, and too many incidental
interests. cotton mills, paper mills,
smelters, coal mines, to be overwhelm-
ed by the "silver panic" of 1893, and
the Cripple Creek gold output soon
put it on it's feet again. Dry farming
and irrigation have driven out the cat
tie ranges of eastern Colorado and the
sage-brush of the mountain valleys.
Now it is alfalfa and wheat and fruit
The agricultural products of the State
are almost as important as the min
eral There is not another city OF
considers BILE importance for more than
thouse nd miles north or south, or
nearly five hundred miles east and
west For vast mining country it
is the distributing and receiving CEN
tire. and just what the "brownstone
front" on Fifth Avenue is to the i'm
migrant here, is the "house on Capt.
to Hill" to the prospector and miner.
Denver and the Rockies are worth the
journey through the endless cornfields
of the Mississippi and Missouri States,
even in July.

The Rochester Herald Qnd) says /:
mo Republican platform ever con-
structed is so susceptible to the at
tacks of a vigorous opposition as that
adopted at Chicago yesterday, and it
will be a criminal waste of opportunity
/ if the Denver convention shall neglect
| to rise to the occasion presented"
The Washington Herald Qnd) while
having only words of the highest
praise for Mr.. Taft, says: 1.-The Her.
aid believed, and still believes, that
once lie entered the race for the nom
instion, be should Immediately have
retired frcnl the Cabinet. 1t con-
dennis, and will always condemn, the
use of sotfici-l power for partisan ends.
1t opposed, md will forever oppose,
as repugna Mt in principle, dangerous
in precedent, and wholly un-Ameri-
can, the effort of any President to
name his successor. 1t is candidly
and honestly of the opinion that but
for the phases of Mr. Taft's candidacy
here pointed out he would be infinitely
stronger before the people today and
his availability tenfold greater"
The Springfield Republican Qnd.)
says: "The Republican ticket is not
in the least strengthened by the nom
nation of Congressman James S.
Sherman of Utica, N. Y, for the Vice
Presidency. Essentially second
rate public man, however estimable
his abilities and personal character
may be-and as to these we have no
word of criticism to offer-Mr. Sher-
man represents nothing in New York
except the Republican organization,
as it has fourished under successive
bosses, and there is in his public ca
reer, whether at home or in the ma
tional house, no suggestion of the mo-
raj dignity and power which the peo-
pie find so attractive in Governor
Hughes. TO suppose that Mr. Sher-
mans nomination will make the En-
pire State, or the East generally, the
safer for the Republican ticket, is a
curious idea" :
The Indianapolis News, one of the
most influential and intelligently ed
tied independent Republican news
papers in the country, has this to say
of Mr.. Taft's running mate:
There is little of the reform "taint"
clinging to James Schoolcraft Sher-
man, Republican candidate for the
Vice Presidency. He belongs rather
to the reactionary school, which is
supposed to be so distasteful to the
President. Mr.. Sherman is a member
of Speaker Cannon's House organiza-
ton, and is one of the Committee on
Rules, which controls absolutely the
deliberations of the House. Through
out his political life he has never
shown a glimmer of independence, and
if he has ever manifested sympathy
with reform principles it has been
only after they had grown too strong
to be ignored. We suppose that not
even his best friend would rank Mr..
Sherman among the ''progressives. +"
Above everything he is an organiza-
ton man; stand-parter on the tariff,
as on everything else. His name,
therefore, will not appeal strongly to
the reform element of the country.
Possibly his nomination will strength
en- the ticket in New York, though
even this is doubtful. 1t certainly will
not strengthen it in the West.

One OF TIE most important periods
in human history occurred one hun
DIR ! and thirty-two years ago. wneh
the Declaration of American lndepeno-
enee was signed by the representatives.
of tie Colonies and promulgated 10
the world. .-f-
1t is a document which sets forth the
grievances under which the American
colonies had struggled, and for whlcn
they had repeatedly petitioned for re-
dress, but without success. 1t then
announces the severance of the al
legiance of the people of the colonies
from the British Crown, and their de-
termination to be free and independ-
ent people. ~.-----.a--.--.. -
It was a bold and courageous stroke
and required great de1iberation before
the step was taken. This was done,
and the Declaration of Independence
is notable example of calm state
ment and deliberation of purpose.
Everything was to be worked out
in the future. The colonists realized
that they had a formidable foe to con-
tend against, and that the struggle
would be severe and probably of long
duration. And in this they were right.
1t was seven years of terrible struggle
before they achieved their independ-
Aence, but the final triumph was worth
all the sacrifice and harship which they
endured. The result of it was, not
only the liberation OF the colonies,
and the subsequent establishment of
a great nation upon this continent,
dedicated to the principle of human
liberty, but it set up an ensign to the
world, which in all ages would be an
inspiration and encouragement to all
liberty-loving peoples.
The fourth of July brings us TO
consider our great heritage, and what
a blessed thing it is to be an American
citizen. Men are apt, in the fulness
of liberty, to forget what 1t cost to
obtain it and what it means to protect
it. ..-.~
The duty of every citizen OF our
glorious land is to love his country,
to appreciate it's institutions, and to
dedicate himself to their perpetuation.
