A CANARD EXPLODED.

For the sake of the widow and chill
drcn everyone would have been glad to
hear that Grover Cleveland left large
estate. But for the sake of the memory
of the ex-president it is we'll that the
probate inventory gives the lie to the
numerous accuations that he was mil
lionaire. 1t will be distinctly recalled
how at the time Of his retirement from
the presidency the second time, his
enemies commended that he entered Of
flee poor and came out immensely
wealthy. So constantly was this mat
ter harped upon that thousands of hon
est citizens, reluctant to do so, never
theless concluded that Mr.. Cleveland
had actually bartered honor for gold.
Slowly but surely he was living down
this canard, but it remained for the
probate court to confirm the growing
opinion that he was really an honest
and patriotic man, and that the charge
that he came from office millionaire
was but base fabrication. Waterloo

Ohio river and the Rockies have got a
taste of Roosevelt reform and they like
it. They realize, too, that if they want
any more of it they will have to go to
the democrats to get it, because the re-
publican party has turned it's back on
Roosevelt, and his public policies. The
republican convention at Chicago repu-
dated the great Roosevelt policies,
which are really only democratic pol
icies, and the country will have to elect
Bryan as president if it wants the cam

This has been Mr.. Bryan's hopeful
outlook for more than a year, or ever
since he became Roosevelt admirer in
his public utterances, which attended
his discovery that there would be some
movement of reaction in the republican

to praise Roosevelt about as Speaker

BRYAN LEADS TICKET.

81 obey the command of my state and
the mandate of the Democracy of the
nation when l offer the name of Amer
ica's greatest commoner, William Jen-
nings Bryan"
With these words, Ignatius j. Dunn
concluded his speech nominating Will
liam Jennings Bryan for the highest
office within the gift of the American
people. In doing SO, he not only fol-
lowed his own inclinations, but those
of the heart and soul of the Democratic
party of the nation, for the gifted Ne
braskan is recognized as the one man
above all who can lead the party to
victory in November.
Bryan's nomination has for months
past been a foregone conclusion. No
living American has ever had the place
in the hearts of the people now held by
Bryan, and he holds this place by right
and by the virtue of his own acts and
deeds. In all respects, he is what tie
people lovingly term him-the great
commoner-he is near to the people
he is one of them. Their sorrows are
his sorrows. Every desire for better
ment and amelloration of their condi-
tion is his concern. He is one of the
people, by the people, and for the peo-
pie.
Bryans two previous races have been
the wonder of the last generation.
With nothing but his own unaided
efforts, he has risen through his sup
erior capabilities and qualifications to
that of the foremost Democratic leader
of the age. With naught but his own
brain and determination he has achieved
this result and the great esteem in
which he is held is probably best evil
denced by his trip around the world
two years ago, when as plain Ameri-
can citizen, he was received by crowned
heads with honors equal to those offered
sovereigns of other nations.
Bryan's great prominence comes from
the fact that he stands for something
He stands for principle--and that is
the right. The fact that he has been
enabled to make two of the greatest
campaigns of the past generation, meet
ing defeat each time, and after each de-
feat being stronger and held in higher
esteem than ever before by the Demo.
cratic party, and the fact that IN all Of
these trying and bitterly contested
campaigns, there never was breath OF
the faintest suspicion of wrong doing
charged to him by his Republican
enemies, defines the fact of his honesty
integrity and high purposes.
The platform on which he was nomi.
mated is one on which any honorable
and honest American citizen can stand
II is one which stands for something
Every plank contained therein stands
for the people, their rights and Their
due. 1t is platform on which he car
wage a campaign for honesty and good
81 government. 1t is platform by whose
teachings, William Jennings Bryan will
lead the Democratic party to victory in
November.

The Mt. Ayr Twice-A-Week Press says

Hepburn. Mr.. Bailey is one Of the
strong men of Ringgold county. He
has represented that county three
times in the Legislature and his re-

The Charlton Herald, progressive re-
publican, has practically said it looked
with pleasure on the candidacy OF
Jameson for congress against Hepburn
It's the paper that has given Peter rir
up the back. The paper is known to be
progressive and the editor was one of
the delegates at the Creston conven-
ton who opposed instructions for AL
lison and Hepburn. The gentleman
was on the resolution committee along
with Senator d. w. Turner of this
county and they made a minority report
and the question was taken on the floor
Of the convention and all the delegates
had to take sides and it was here that
0. Nj. Green of Prescott, and B. J. Glib
son of Corning, who We're by many
counted progressive, had to come out
of the tall timber and take sides and
they fell on the popular or standpat
side. Mr.. Green edits good paper at
Charlton and if he turns against Con-
gresham Hepburn you will hear some
thing drop. Mr.. Green wanted to be
postmaster at Charlton and he was one
of the newspaper men who made appli-
cation for the position and was de-
feated. Usually Col. Hepburn took
care of the newspaper boys and by SO
doing he has strengthened his position,
Of course they are for him, but where
he failed to appoint the newspaper
men it seems there is liable to be
trouble brewing. If Mr.. Green takes a
stand against Hepburn he will be on the
popular side this year. This is the
year when the opposition to Hepburn
in his own party and the democrats are
going to unite and defeat him. All who
want to join the crowd should do SO
early. The band wagon will go by but
once.-Corning Free Press.
