Swapping Roosevelt for a trust tool Jo a proposition that will not Interest democrats very much. Colina (0.) Democrat: "Cleveland's sound advlco" continues to take up considorablo space In the newspapers that supported McKlnloy for presi dent. Just what it exactly is they novor toll us. St. Anno (111.) Record: If crops turn out good this year it will bo be causo the republicans are in power; If they turn out poor It will be because thoy wcro afraid the democrats might get into control noxt fall. The crops havoau eye on 'em. Colina (0.) Democrat. The Eighth district democrats, in convention at Urbana on Monday, nominated Henry McCraclten for congress and reaffirmed the Kansas City platform without the aid or consent of G. Clovoland and the trusts. The democrats of tho Eighth know how to get together. Carrollton (111.) Gazette: The ad vocates of Alton B. Parker for the presidency give as thoir reason for supporting him that "thero is noth ing against him." Some fellows bo foro supporting him would like to know "what lie is against," and they aro not unreasonable in this demand. Schuylor (Neb.) Quill: Because Edi tor Corcoran o tho York Democrat dared to denounce the railroad for charging exorbitant froight rates on coal his contract was cancelled and his mllcago book taken up. Corcoran can well afford to pay cash for his railroad trips if he could buy coal at reasonable rates. Sandusky CO.) Journal: It was an Ohio mob that lynched a negro who shot a policeman and then riddled tho dangling corpse with bullets. Carry the news to Mississippi and don't for fvnf fn mnntlon that it took place in a strong republican community. Anna (111.) Democrat: Better far another defeat under anyone, only that he is a worthy man and a sincere democrat, than a hope of victory, or even victory itself, under the leader ship of a stalking horse for tho most corrupt plutocracy the world has ever known. Rockville (Ind.) Tribune: The Chi cago Chronicle is opposed to "Bryan ism," is tho organ of tho D. M. Parry movement, is favorable to Cleveland's nomination, and is owned by John R. Walsh, banker and trust promoter. Its influence in circles where demo crats aro as scarce as hen's teeth is unbounded. Rockville (Ind.) Tribune: When brought to a show-down, by the demo crats the other day, the republican majority in congress killed an anti trust amendment and also one to pro vide for an eight-hour day for labor employed on contract work for the government. Does the ox know his master's crib? Well we should guess! ' Belief onte (Pa.) Watchman: The lynching of "a poor, helpless negro" at Springfield, O., on Tuesday, would have been "one of the most atrocious outrages ever perpetrated in defiance of law and ordor" had not Ohio given the largest republican majority ever piled up in that state at a very recent election. ...i m nhrnnlole: One by one the rights of the people fall before the privileges of monopoly. When will the people get even with these wrong-doers? Clearfield (Minn.) Republican: A little thing like the postofflce scanaal don't worry tho republicans. They aro used to such things and naturally expect the public to overlook them. Mesqulte (Tex.) Mesqulter: Grover Cleveland went fishing on the day of the last national election and now he is writing magazlno articles on the "Opportunity of the Democrats." If the Stuffed Prophet would do less talking and more voting his words would have greater weight. Pocahontas (la.) Democrat: The Register and Leader suggests that the democrats of Iowa unite on "Buster Brown" as a candidate for president. It is evident the Register and Leader is anxious to see democracy unite on sometning aixjut vu uu equui wim Trust Buster Roosevelt. Otsego (N. Y.) Tidings: But with the nomination of Cleveland the dem ocratic party would have to. repudiate the principles for which it has stead fastly contended in years past and which have become a part of the po litical gospel of more than six mil lions of voters. The Otsego Tidings does not believe in sacrificing prin ciples which it holds to be funda mentally right for the sake of a vague chance of winning the election with a corruption fund. It has no sympathy whatever with such idoas. Lamar (Mo.) Democrat: They (the reorganizers) -would commit the party to the defense of the great mo nopolies that make paupers and multi-millionaires. In short, they stand for the classes instead of the masses. This is the story of the con test in 1896; it is the btory of today. Those who say it is whether or not tho democracy shall make silver tho issue, make the statement purposely to mislead and deceive the people. Sedalia (Mo.) Democrats The high wayman who violates the law by rob bing one person is sent to the peni tentiary. The trust manager who vio lates the law by robbing a million people is politely requested to discon tinue his operations. And yet we aro told that wo should show respect for our executives and our courts! Cameron (Mo.) Sun: Grover Cleve land is being boomed for the nomina tion for the presidency by James J. Hill, the western railway magnate. Mr. Hill asserts that the former presi dent is well known from end to end of the Union. Quite true; entirely .too much so by the rank and file of the party, who found themselves fol lowing a false idol after the sage of Frlnceton had received ' his second term to the White house. Wantage (N. J.) Recorder: We can not but view the efforf to make the democratic party take up Cleveland and play the part of "second fiddle" to those sharks as a national lamlty. The progress made under this admin istration toward a military and Im perial government leaves the people but one party to turn to for help to keep the republic alive. That is un doubtedly the democratic party. When they turn to it as they will, sooner or later, shall it present them with a Grover Cleveland? Perish the thought! BETTER THAN SPANKING, Spanking docB notouro children of urino diffi culties. It It did thero would bo few children that would do it. Thero Is a constitutional causo for this. Mrs. M. Summers, Box 118, Notro Same, Ind., will send her homo treatment to any mother. Sho asks no money". Write her today If your chlldron trouble you in this way. Don't J "blame the child.
