Either liryan or IdeKm icy will
be elected president the 8mt Tueuclay
after t he first Monday of m >:t

the empire v/ill bo indorsed!.
If Jlryan wins, it will m&nn tin

will mean that that, war will1 go on; |
that American ideals will be repudiate:!;
that national faith Will be
botruytd; that the rights of mm
will be denied; that tue Doclara- j
tion of Independence will become |
a in eve mockery; that polygamy
and slavery will be indorsed, ami
that all for which we have stood
and of which we have boasted and
of which we have been honestly
proud during a hundred and twcuty-lho
yearn ?>f crinrious national
history will be put behind us fern [

The citizen must chooso. Lbmay
elVeet to believe that there is I
some other duty beforo him but
deciding b?t,veon the republic and
the empire, llut if he bhrdl vote
?or any other limn than for Bryan
lie will vote to strengthen the arm i
of imperialism and to cripple that
of t'roe government.
The issue cannot bo dodged. It
is either the republic or the em-'
piro. "Which shall it bo? "Which :
does the citizen want? If he desires
the republic to stand he must !
i vote for Bryan. If ho is careless
whether it stand or fall ho may!
vote for nnvboflv obo nr full / ?? 1

Hero m\' some gems from the
speech of Hon. James Hamilton ;
Lewis, of the State of Washington,
delivered at the recent Indianapolis
meeting of the National Asboc iatiou
of Democratic Clubs:
'"There are no patriots if Demo- 1
crnts be not. No servile suppliants 1
for ollicial favors are we. No die- ;
tutor sways his detestable rule over I
no. No corporate influence com- I
mands a domination or wealth !
directs. We know no masters but 1
the people; wo worship no king
but God."
In referring to Senator Ilanna, )
ho raid:
"jno Wonted j*ov<jcou, swollen with j
party dictatorship, si l.n in sacred
place, blinking his splenic eyas
at us ns signals for our cvrry
movement. ()ur ideas are our 1
property; our mnnhoed is (.urban- '
or. All the people are our chil- ,
dren, and the fret) nation onr'
sacred enro. Wo ab'indon these to
no man, and defy the insolence of
masters or the arrogance of office i
to take one jot of our independence |
from us/1
With reference to President '
^MelCinley, he said:
'' Nor have we to put forth enn- !

whom never advocated a policy!1
which he would not immediately '
denounce for parly advantage, nor 1
denounce a piaeiplo which wc
would not cup ula - for the entice-!'
incuts of office.
" A silver man when a silver!1
lining was necessary to his cloud i
of political despair. A gold man, j
in return for thegtldcu promise!
of Presidential nomination. In '
the morning of the first dty, free 1
trade with the Porto Iticans was a *
plain duly; in the evening of the f
same day, he was only playing with 1
the Porto Eieans, and they must j*

Mr. Lewis alluded to Governor
Ilooscvelt an 1 said:
"We shall never bo driven to lire
desperate ends of bolstering the
decaying strength of a falling j
chieftain by pandering to the fan

Vvasmixoton, Oct. b, 1U00.? .
The boodle htnge of the campaign
has been reached, and the
head has been knocked ont t?f the
Kepnbliean barrel, which lianna
iiikd 1<? overllowing. In every
doubtful Stale and Congressional
district every vote that can be had
for money is to bo bought. Three '
are not mere assertions. They are
hard facts, of which the Democrats
have been warned by Chairman
Hiehui.k-on, of the Democratic
Congressional Campaign Commit
ioc, anu ny mr. uicnuro iroker ot
Now York, both of whom know < f
the enormous amount of money
secured by IIanna, and judge by
the way ho spent millions in lM'.KI
how he intends to spend it. It is1
not easy to pr? vent some buying !
and soiling of votes anions those!
who are unprincipled enough to 1
engage io sueh 11 1 rathe, but vigil- 1
iiuce cn the part of Democrats
may greatly lessen the number 1
bought and sold, as every State i
provides a heavy penalty for the'
prime.
There was a noticeable change
in the attitude of the Kepublieun
managers just as soon as they got
tiie tip that tlanna had all the I
money ho wanted. Instead of i
talking doubtfully of the result of:
the elections, both Presidential |
and Congressional, they began to I
blow, making the most ridiculous i
claims as to the number of clecto- ,
ral votes that MeJvmley will get
and the number of Republican j
Congressmen that will be elected.
Representative Rhea, of Virginia,
called at the post office
department this week and tiled a
vigorous complaint against tin*
Republican postmasters in his district,
for failure to deliver important
documents sent him from I
Washington, lie also asked that I
an inspector be sent to investigate i
tlie complaint, lie received the i
same old, stereotyped promise that 1
the mutter would bo looked into,
and, judoin}.? from tho result of
similar promises made to tin* same
sort of complaints by Democrats,
tlmt will bo tho last of it, so far as
the Republican pos-totlieo ollicials
are concerned.
The Republican managers are
having trouble with Benjamin '
Iiairison. They waul him to take >
the stump, hut Ben nays ho lias a
throat trouble and can't do it, al- j
though 110 one has heard that his j
throat, trouble prevented him i
j
speaking in court for any client
Who is rich enough to pay his big ,
fees If he won't speak, they want
him to write and sign a MoKin'.ey
plea for publication, but he may
i|isoovor that he has pen pnralysis,!
njr something else, that will pre- i
Vjent his writing, if they don't put
n\p a big retainer for him. Ben
doesn't like McKinley or iMcKinle.yism,
and if he says anything for
either it will ho on the usual basis
I lint lawyers briefs are written.
Judge (Jeorge 1 >. Lacy, of South ;
Dakota, who is in Washington
looking after some business before
tlnt> I nited States Supreme Court,
thinks thai his Sinto is absolutely J
iftfle for L>ryan nnil Stephenson,
loawithstawling Bosh Kami i'k pcrlon
al efforts to capture it, ami thus
ital.es tlio reason for his belief:
Tlie voters in South Dakota are
no*Mly hunters, and farmers, you
:nciw, generally 1- ok at public
pic?lions with a clearer vision
ham men who dwell in cities,
rhek have timo for reflection as
8? 'it their work in the
toldlft. They are not blinded by
wealth, noi* are their m liabilities '
dulled by familiarity with the mif- i
f*? ri11s of thoir fellow men. The j!
inhabitants of eiti. s decide qurslions
upon the basin of expediency, ,
while the farmer weighs them i
wi h a judicious tr. ui! and jjvts at 1
the bottom of tilings. Therefore ,
the farmer is most keenly alive to ,
the danger that lurks in the j^rent ,
< ombiuatious of wealth that uutke
u.'.wnm monopoly, utia ;t us to in?
farming communities ili.it Bryan !
must look f r the volts neoca.stny
lo his elect ion."
Mr. MeKinley did not couie to
Washington this time in a particularly
pood humor, although ho
lour ill the Chinese bn-anceP, of
which ho has been afraid from the ;
start, apparent I}' cominp his way
to the extent of petting it into the ;
hands of the diplomats, thus nmk- i (
iug auri? that nothing can happen
jn connect ion therewith that will !
have any olTeet upon the electi n. '
if.' knows Ohio polities pretty '
well, and the campaign isn't progressing
there in a manner that is ,
satisfactory to him. lie has i
learned v.hat the Democratic managers
have known lor some time?
that the trust issue alone i.-> tr. :king i
thousands of votes for Colonel ! |
liryan nuion^ men who have here- i
tofore voted with the Republican !'
party, and he recognizes that, the !
Stale is in danger, lie has also,'
had disquieting news from Indiana
and Illinois, both of which hi em
in a fair way to go Democratic, if '
the present drift continues. A
personal friend of Mr. MrKinlcy
says he is also much rhngritmcd
over his failure to stop llunnu's
speech-making, not only because
the failure was humiliating, but
because he realizes how much i
harm i I anna's spoechcs are doiaii |
him.
Too Much Pulltlcf.
One small boy who supports his
invalid mother making fruit boxes
or even the frail bar foot j^irl wh?>
earns food and clothing for herself,
is worth a hundred red-eyed
deadbcats who stand around the
campaign market places and wait
for drinks or for opportunities to
work for the candidates. Wo have
had too much politics heretofore. \
Tho shiftless man about town!
proves this to be true. Tho vai^r
int who waits at the polls for a ;
purchaser shows it to ho so. Tho :
joo-ueller in the city council or the j
piece-maker in the service of the'
State, the low man and the liifh j
man who l)uys uiul usoo l.iin. all ;
these witness the fact tluit the poo- j
pie have come to depend entirely I
too much on politics for pulls, too
much on public business for a
chance in life. Why not strike for
a diversification of chances and '
opportunities? Why not five the 1
weak and the honest, the modest
and the deiiorviiif, a show? To
do this the present turn toward
itulus rial improvement, toward a
multiplication of chances in private
business, toward commercial)
opportunities, should be heartily
encouraged by every citizen whose
mind m t-.timd i-nd ivlmun 1.??*

iii the 1*ij_; 1?t place. Let the politician
get out of the way. Surely
he lnis brought to the people
enough of dissension, loss and
trouble already. Ills work l.as
been magnified for many long hud |
wcary years, and nothing good has i
come of it. Why not permit and
encourage the citizen to magnify
his own business for a few years?
It is Tgoing to be done, and the!
change is going to work well.- !

Kuktuxi?ni JuMltiable.
Few Northerners have ever understood
the conditions of the
South which resulted in the ri i.rn
of the Kuklux. One of the most
prominent of Southern divines was
asked if in his opinion Kukluxism
was justifiable and in reply, said:
" Yi'H. sir. and if the doetrii..?
that 'the end justifies the means'
was ever correct, it was during the
reign of terrorism in the Southern
States when Kukluxism was rampant.
Kninember, air. that at the
close of the war ami at the reconstruction
period the white men of
the South were disarmed, ami it
was a penal otVense for them to
have tiinarms in their homes. The
negroes, however, were armed; our
streets and highways were patrolled
by negro soldiery, who were
but a set or barbuiious savages,
