BY MEAD PUBLISHING CO.
OFFICIAL PAPER OF COUNTY
FRIDAY, JAN. 8,
a Mar as False as Satan is wicked.


The New York World is publishing a
map, whenever it can think of nothing
worse to run against Mr.. Bryan, which
purperts to show the condition to which
Mr.. Bryan has reduced the democratic
party. On this map the democratic
states and territories are white and the
republican states and territories black,
but the contention of the World that
Mr.. Bryan is responsible for the fact
that much the larger part of its map is
black is false-u nqualifedly false.
Grover Cleveland and his Wall Street
advisers, the World among the num-
her, are largely responsible for the
color Of the map.
Mr.. Bryan had nothing to do with the
success or failure of democratic can
didates in 1894. That was at time
when the World and its. political idol,
Grover Cleveland, were running the
affairs of state. At the congressional
elections that year. the magnificent
democratic representation of 2l9 mem
bers elected in 1892 was cut down to
104. Did Bryan have anything to do
with that defeat?
Was Bryan democratic leader or
responsible for democratic policies be-
fore he made his great speech in the
Chicago convention in 1896?
Before Mr.. Bryan became RESPONSE
BILE for any democratic policy, Cleve-
land and the policies advocated by the
World had practically destroyed the
democratic party.
At the last election held in the several
states prior to the year 1896, the demo-
Gratis had lost in So and won in but 9.
That was the political map of the coun-
try when Organism, as the World
terms genuine democracy, commenced
the work of reorganization. From that
low ebb the party has had to build. In
the first Bryan campaign, that of 1896,
great gains were made. The party
went into the contest of that year with
but states and came out with %.
The republicans commenced the cam
paign of that year with year 35 states
in their column, and came out with but
20. The electoral vote of Kentucky
was divided that year and is not coun-
ted for either party. And the World
and Cleveland did all in their power to
defeat the democratic ticket that year.
These facts are well known to the
World, and if it had any desire to be
fair it would make it's map show the
states carried by Bryan when Bryan
was candidate.
At the last national election thu
democrats nominated man for the
presidency who was satisfactory to the
World, and he was the worst beaten
! candidate ever nominated by the demo-
cratic party, Horace Greeley not ex-
cepted. The map which the World is
publishing is a map showing conditions
when its advice was followed, and not
q map showing the results of an cleo
ton when Bryan was candidate. The
World is democratic. hoodoo. Man
chester Democrat.

were also made for a great street pa

Christmas and Equality.
A rare IL not new Interpretation OF
Christmas is brought out by Samuel
McChord Crothers In Eyerybody's. Re-
ferring to st. Augustine's analysis of
love as meaning that the other should
be as well of rs yourself, he says that
wishing him 70 be thine equal Is the
test of charity, . aiding: ut Is all right
to give poor devil turkey, but are

board Of the Presby terrain church Is
admitted frankly by Mr.. Roebllng to
be due to the recent vote of the place
for prohibition. He has spent ten
years in Asheville and has put $500, 600

SOUTH" then continues: aN9w there
has come discordant note. a strange
philosophy is being preached among
us. We are told that grown men are
unsuited to be the judges Of their own
personal habits. : To drink alco-
holic liquor is not wrong per Sc from
any point of view. Therefore to sell
| such liquor is not wrong per Sc. Pro-
hibiuon Is an attempt to declare a
thing wrong which IS not wrong Is

looms exist because men drink. Let
the prohibitionists who would reform

The consensus Of opinion of the best
and strongest minds is that high II
cense Is the best system Of regulation;
that prohibition is wrong In principle
and contrary to the fundamentals of
our system of government. The sue
cess 1T prohibition at the election
means that the money market viii be-

cities which have tried 1t have gone
back to license and that prohibition
