Chlllicotho (0.) News-Advertlser:-The
news from Manila indicates the
grafter also follows the flag. t .
Athens (0.) Journal: The demo
cratic platform is a broad instrument,
but it is not wide enough to accommo
date monopoly.
Mt Sterling (111.) Examiner: Re
publican promts 3 are most of them
Intended to tool the people and they
do fool a good many of them, but not
all of them always.
Fostoria (0.) Democrat: Ex-President
Cleveland at Chicago talked
about the "saving grace of patriot
ism," but at the same time he felt
mdro confidence in the absolute rule of
the dollar.
Hastings (Mich.) Journal: The re
publicans prefer a currency backed by
trust bonds than one supported by
gold and silver. The former would
certainly be elastic enough while the
latter would be substantial.
' Lewisburg (W. Va.) Independent:
Honestly, mow, have we not -overdone
the business of nursing "Infant indus
tries?" When an infant, under the
nursing process, has grown bigger
than his pa, why not talce away the
bottle and let him feed himself?
1 Olney (111.) Democrat: President
Roosevelt's administration must be
charged with three years knowledge
and suppression of the greatest postal
scandal8. which Mr. Bristow's final re
port states could not have flourished
to the extent indicated without con
pivance or criminal neglect
Colfax (Wash.) Commoner: Sena
tor Hanna appeals to the people of
Ohio to vote the republican ticket in
order "to send a word of greeting and
confidence to the young president at
Washington," but at heart he cares a
good deal more about their sending
back Mark Hanna to the United States
senate.
Tiffin (0.) Advertiser: The nomina
tion of George B. McClellan for mayor
by the democrats of Greater New
York will give Roosevelt the informa
tion that there was a General George
B. McClellan, who commanded the
Union soldiers at the battle of Antie
tam. At the recent visit of the presi
dent to that battlefield he was ignor
ant of the fact
Ironton (O.) Irontonian: A ship
Bubsidy is socialism." It is that kind
of 'socialism that Hanna favors, be
cause it "Will put the money which is
to Be' paid by the people into his own
pocket. The admission by Hanna that
he is "in favor of the ship subsidy
scheme proves Johnson's statement
that Hanna uses his official -position
to further his own interests regardless
of the people.
Steubenville (0.) Gazette: Do you
know any trust magnate, any big in
dustrial "promoter of other people's
money Into his own pockethook, or
any "financier" who shears the Wall
street lambs, who supports the demo
cratic ticket in these times of piping
"prosperity?" What ticket do these
classes solidly support? When you
vote the same ticket they support,
what are you?
Woodsflold (0.) Spirit of Democ
racy: Roosevelt recently made a
speech at a soldiers' meeting'bn the
battlefield of Antiotam, and not once
flld .he mention the name of McClel
lan, 'whose ' splendid victory there
saved the north from a rebel Invasion.
Abraham Lincoln hastened from the
White house to thank McClellan per
sonally; on the battlefield'. Abraham
Lincoln was one ind of a man, and
Theodore Roosevelt is qultQ a differ
ent kind.
Cambridge (O.) Joffersonian: Suk
pose bani.s were permitted to issue
no.es uased upon ..and sustained by
United States steel stock. Ah, sup
pose. How much safer are the gpu
enil run of railroad, state, municipal
and many other assets than United
btates steel that goes as low as 16.
Iola (Kas.) Democrat: Business de
pression will stop the greed of the
trusts, it is saK . But business de
pression is disastrous and is to be
avoided. Money is ,in every business,
every trade and every deal. Have
the trusts control of tne . finances of
the country? These things should be
stopped without national disaster.
First let the people control them and
then, if need be, abolish them.
Linneus (Mo.) Bulletin: The pro
tective tariff policy of the United
States benefits solely the trusts whose
wares are protected at the expense of
home consumers. The supposition
that they will pay laborers more than
the current price of labor because of
"protection" is all bosh. They secure
their laborers at the lowest figure pos
sible and put the "protection" in their
pockets. This is what has created
'the trusts. They ere the result of a
blind partisan prejudice which has
made men vote against their own interests.
would be wholly unavailable. Per
haps when the national republican
convention meets next year, after the
regular business s over and it has
formulated its platform and nominated
its candidate, it might proceed to
formulate a democratic platform and
nominate a democratic candidate to
stand upon it Any platform' it might
construct, or candidate it might nomi
nate, would be quite as satisfactory
tc the rcorganizers as their own work.
Frankfort (lnd.) Standard: The
money metnls. gold and silver,, both
together are far short of enough to
make an adequate supply of money,
A)l who are opposed to turning the
making of money over to the money
trust should demand the free coin
age of both gold and silver and con
tinue to demand it. In addition to
this the government should allow no
l)aper money to be made by any cor
poration bank or individual. All
money should be made by the govern
ment and all money gold, silver and
papershould be a full legal tender
money; should be money and not
promises to pay money; all to be re
deemed alike by the government, and
for the payment of "11 debts, both pub-
r lie and private. The neonle should
demand this and continue to demand
It That would settle this question
and it will never be settled until It is
done. All other schemes are make
shifts, Intended to give power to the
few to rob the masses.

Wooster (O.) Democrat: It is re-'
ported at Washington that the sultan
ofSulu Is missing. Perhaps he is on
his way to Ohio to stump the state
for the republicans this fall. He would
be doing no more than" returning a
favor for that salary of $125 a month
which the republican party gave him,
to be paid out of the United States
treasury. At any rate, since the re
publican campaign managers have
been importing so much outside talent
to tell Ohio people how they ought to
vote on their own affairs, they could
not do much worse by ih-sultan Ohio
voters with this regal importation.
Aurora (Neb.) Register: One of the
queer coincidence' that we all note as
we jog along down the highway of
time is that with every flurry in Wall
street, every chunk that is being
knocked off the prices of cattle and
hogs there is less and less said by re
publican papers about the administra
tion being responsible for good or bad
times. Some of them are getting
ready to concede that McKinley and
Roosevelt didn't exactly make the
good times and if anything should
happen to make the people feel poor
they are convinced that the party of
progress and prosperity will be in no
way to blame for it.
Lewisburg (W. Va.) Independent:
Old General Simon Bolivar Buckner
sat as a delegate In a republican con
vention down in Kentucky the other
day. Can it be that the old man has
been led off by the fact that the re
publicans have nominated his son-in-law
for governor? We think not. The
true explanation is that General Buck
ner deserted his party in 1896 when
he accepted the nomination of the
gold bug contingent of the democratic
party for the office of vice president
When a man Qnce deserts his party,
especially if It b a national election
It Is 'very unsafe to count on him
thereafter. He wao Is not for lis Is
against us and General Buckner has
simply found his right place.
Potosi (Mo.) Independent: The
managers of the republican party are
anxious that Mr. Gorman, Mr. Hill,
Mr. Cleveland, Mr. Parker, or some
other reorganizes should be the demo
cratic standard-bearer next year. Thy
seem to think that Senator Carmack,
Mr. Bryan, Georce Fred 'will lama.
Governor Stone, or Tom L.' Johnson J
The discovery of an alleged military
plot to kill M. Belaieff, the Russian
consul at Uskub, on October 23, caused
the Turkish government to rush six
battalions of troops to that place.
