Tho leading issues of tho cnnipnign
aro very similar in thnt littlo argument
is possible Domocracy has announced
as tho paramount issue imperialism
This is a poor subject for discussion as
their opponents aro not supporting im
perialism ami aro vory much opposed to
converting tho republic iuto an empire
Tho republicans readily agree that thoro
should be no imperialism and will bo as
vigorous as tho democrats in discourag
ing any such tendencies Therefore as
all aro agreed no discussion is possible
Many republicans beliovo that tho pre
vailing prosperity of tho country nnd its
continuanco is the paramount issue
And no discussion is possible here
Domocrnts cauuot deny that prosperity
prevailsas there nre bushols of facts nud
figures to prove thnt it does neither can
thoy nrguo thnt n contiuunuce of pros
perity would not bo of benofit to the
country thnt would bo silly So there
we nro Demoorncy cannot discuss
imperialism for nil nro agreed on tho
proposition Neither can they discuss
prosperity as facts aud llgures are
agniiibt them The republicnus have
tho best of the situation both ways aud
it is not surprising thnt everything is
coming their way
Business conditions nro perhaps cap
able of improvement though they have
beon better than ever before in tho his
tory of the country Tub Nkws is far

policies they would be bettered and it is

election of Win McKiuley will mean a

alone is a safe motto iu politics as in
everything else It seems just as im
possible to have a condition when every
body without an exception is sntislied
prosperous aud happy as it is to have
that condition when everybody without

there can ulwnya be found people who
are not shariug iu the general prosperity

ment ever inflicted on an intelligent
audience in the city In the first place
the speaker was probnbly not to blame
but his cause is so terribly weak that
any sort of material was acceptable to
bolster It up This was shown by tho
speaker reading tho imperialistic edito
rials from tho Des Moines Globe au
argument that has been so thoroughly
and repeatedly exploded that it is tho
laughing stock of intelligent pooplo re
gardless of party Ho read it too with
tears in his voice as au illustration of
what the country is coming to That
tho editor has published a statement
saying that It is merely his opinion and
not endorsed by any portion of tho re
publican party that ho had been cou
llued in au insane asylum wero points
of course Ignored by tho speaker
Neither did ho mention tho fact that be
fore a constitutional monarchy could bo

plode tho demagogic utternuces of tho
speaker nnd he would naturally ignore

It does not require n very old person

by the carload by farmers who could not

n bushel Nor does it require tho turn
ing back of tho pages of time many
yonrs to recnll tho situation whon the
fanner very sensibly figured that it was
cheapor to burn corn than it was to sell

Something very comicnl nnd at tho
samo tinio u littlo Mid appeared In our
morning contemporary yesterday A
headline with letters paralyzing in size
announced that Georgia rolls up
fiOOOO mnjority for tho domoemtie
ticket Thou tho Htnttnont is mndo
that tho stnto had been carried by tho
democrats by about fiOOOO But an ex
planatory note throw light on tho ques
tion It said There being prncti
cally no opposition to tho democrats tho
vote was light
That was tho comical part Now tho
sad part is that this is 11 year when im
perialism seems to bo tho awful dread of
tho democracy Imperialism cau coino
in more thau 0110 way It can como in
tho way of nn nnncd uprising led by n
great chieftain followed by an exhaust
ive civil war Tho other is by taking
one right after another insidiously from
the peoplo until they aro slaves
Tho futhors loft as 11 horitngo to tho
Amoricnu people tho bnllot holding thnt
it was limply sufllciout to settle nil dis
putes all troubles keeping in mind that
tho majority must rulo nud thnt tho will
of a majority of patriotic men must bo
what is best for tho country Now by
certain processes which tho democratic
party has 11 patout on tho vote of
Georgia is reduced to fiOOOO That
means that a great many thousands aro
in somo wny kopt nwny from tho polls
nnd that a groat many thousands moro
hnvo not Interest enough iu tho country
nnd iu tho stnto to tako tho trouble to
express thoir wish at tho polls
That could bo looked upon by tho
country with comparntivo indifference
if it extended no furthor thnn the
Georgia Btute lino But in electing a
president nud iu olocting congressmen
Georgin claims tho right to havo eleven
congressmen aud thirteen electoral
votes Tho state of Now York has
thirty six elootoral votes To get tho
thirteen electoral votes in Georgia and
tho olevou congressmen Georgia casts
fiOOOO votes but New York to get her
thirty six electoral votes and thirty four
congressmen cast in 1805 1371 1151
votes The increase over 1895 in tho
vote this year will probably bo more
than tho totnl voto enst in Georgia Wo
see then that it requires only IlSlG votes
in Georgia to mako nn clectornl voto
while it requires 18983 votes in Now
York to accomplish the samo thing
Iu tho old nuto bellum days wheu the
south was rod hot tho boast of somo of
its bluffers was that ouo southern man
could whip five Yankees That did not
amount to very much because it was
a mere matter of opinion but whon one
Georgia man in voting for a president
or for a momber of congress is equal to
ten men in Now York that is n doubling
of tho boast and that is a serious matter
for thnt uoc ouly goes to porsounl opin
ion but it goes to tho very foundation
of the government nud if continued
would signal tho dny when this would
bo n republic in name merely and when
Imperialism would bo established sure
enough
What portains to Georgia extends to
Alabama nnd Mississippi nud Louisi
ana and Texas South Carolina and
North Carolina nnd Virginia nud
Arknusns and Florida and Teuetsee in
large measure That goes to the vory
integrity of tho republic aud wo have
not heard Mr Bryau complain of it in
the campaign Ho is frighteued to
death apparently about imperialism
His party orguns throughout the coun
try are frightened to donth those emi
nent statesmen ex Governor Altgeld
Webster Davis ex Senator Pettigrew
Boss Croker Bourko Cockrau Carl
Schurtz aud tho Springfield Republican
are all frighteued out of their wits lest
this couutry be given over to a despotism
and ruled by tho iron hand of the despot
McKiuley But that several states in
the south ouly have to cast about one in
ton as many votes to get au elector or n
congressman as the states in the north
that is looked upon ns a mere incident
not worth mentioning Mr Bryan
who is thoughtful who thinks of almost
everything hns not even once thought
of it so far as we havo heard siuco tho
opening of tho campaign neither Iuib
Mr Schurz ueither has that blather
skite with the awful mouth Bourko
Cockran If it were any other couutry
but this peoplo would begin to conclude
that of all the sorry frauds 011 tho face
of the earth the democratic party iu the
United States is the very chief
Bryan nml Croker
It is generally conceded that Richard
Croker is at the hend of one of the most
corrupt and obnoxious political organiza
tions in tho country and that Mr
Bryan has entered iuto nu alliance with
him is not doubted Tho fusionists
would prefer that this be kept secret or
would deuy it if possible The New
York correspondent of the Chicago
Times Herald saya he is able to state
authoritatively ami of his own knowl
edge the following facts concerning this
bargain which Mr Stouo representing
Mr Bryan made with Mr Croker
1 The deal was first discussed in do
tail between Mr Croker aud William J
Stone when the latter spent a week or
ten days in New York a mouth ago

Upon his return to this city with

4 Mr Croker hns promised to enrry
Now York for Mr Brynu To do it ho
hnB ngreod to rniso n enmpaign fund of
S000000 nnd ho has promised to give
100000 iu cash to tho democratic un

5 On his side Mr Croker is to receive
tho control of nil federal pntronnce in
New York City nnd he has tho promise
of tho secretaryship of tho navy for his
boBom friend former Senator Murphy
in the event of Mr Bryaus election
i The solo cause of Mr Crokers re
cent zeal for Mr Bryans election is the
promise ho has received of federal
patronage iu case of tho hitters election
It a man knew nothing of the facts in
the deal between Messrs Croker and
Bryan he would nevertheless have littlo
difficulty in making up his mind about
tho existeuce of such a deal from tho
chauge that has come over tho political
situatiou hero in the last few weeks
loyntcr and the Hired Soldiers
Povemor Poynter has repeatedly de
nied that ho has referred to the soldiers
ns hired soldiers The following
from II C Bussell a veteran of the
civil war seems to leave no room for
doubt but that the governor holds iu
utter contempt a certain class of soldiers
if not nil Mr Russell writes as fol
lows
SciiUYinii Neb Oct To the
editor of the Stato Journal I rend
r ome days ngo your notice as to a de
nial ot Governor Poyutors I did not
see tho governors deniol but I heard
what Roosevelt said at Lincoln I heard
Governor Poynter at the Superior
reunion He was very profuse in his
praiso of the G A It ami the volunteer
soldier He had nothing to say iu
praise of tho regulars he called them
tho hired soldiers meaning they were
without patriotism without love of
country Ho wanted his hearers to
understand that therein was the danger
to our couutry Our old time copper
heads made no distinction They
dubbed us all Lincolns hirelings
I think Roosevelt used the word
hirelings what is the difference
The governor used the words often ind
always iu an offensive way Those who
heard him were reminded of his refusal
to allow tho legislature to tbauk the
boys of the First Nebraska denied by
his veto that they had added new glory
to our couutry and lustre to our flag
Governor Dietrich followed the gov
ernor and in strong manly American
words reseuted Povnters insult to our
soldiers Why did not Poynter follow
and deny it there before the people who
heard the words Ex Congressmin
Hainer of Aurora followed Dietrich aud
he too resented the governors insult
But Poynter could not stand the patri
otic appeal of Hainer Ho slipped off
Congressman Andrews heard him use
tho words so did Captain Adams all
our republican candidates but two were
on the stand and perhaps 100 people

There is much for thinking people to
loam about tho trust proposition
Everyone will admit that there are cor
porations which benefit everybody con
nected with them directly or indirectly
while there are corporations so utterly
selfish that they do more harm than
good How to get at the oue and not
injure tho other is a knotty question
very perplexiug to thoso who have given
it serious consideration It will bo im
possible to create a law prohibiting all
combinations of capital without influ
encing every partnership affair It
will be impossible to prevent corpora
tions of one state from doing business
in another without injuring all manu
facturing and wholesale interests and
such a law would cause some railroad
telegraph and other similar companies
to bo dissolved iuto numerous small
companies that might prove most em
barrassing to the legitimate conduct of
b iBiuess If you would stop n company
from controlling more than oue manu
facturing establishment you must Etopn
mau from controlling more thau one
It Sort o Looks as If Id Hate to Expand
business A law that would forbid n
deportment store would npply with
equnl effect to a genernl merchnndise
store There nro many phases to tho
question nud n ninn or party that will
promise to stop tho operation of all trusts
promises more than they carenrry out
without injuring business immensely
Mr Bryau may bo wiso enough to know
just how to proceed so that 110 busiuets
interests will bo injured nnd nothing
but harmful corporntiouBjnffected but he
has not so far shown nn infinite wisdom
in dealing with industrial financial or
other questions and when ne promises
to control tho trusts it sonnds very well
but will ho bo ablo to carry out his
promise
Tho statement that Eugeue Crum has
resigned ns the populist nominee for
congress in the Third district which re
cently made its appearance iu a number
of fusion papers is branded as n canard
by Dr Bryant secretary of the central
committee He is certainly in a posi
tion to lenrn of such a resignation if
there had been oue nnd he would surely
hnve heard of tho fact if he had been
appointed to fill the vacnncy It is such
trnusparent falsehoods as these that are
hurting tho fusion cause and will make
populist voteB Tho fnsiouists are
spnuging their roorbacks tco early in
the campaign and they are likely to
prove a boomerang with disastrous ef
fects How Congressman Robinpou can
allow his lieutenents to resort to ssch
tactics without administering a severe
rebuke is astonishing It is very evi
dent that the fusion trust fears the popu
list movement and ineanB to discredit
it by fair means or foul
This is not a campaign argument of
the present year It is a quotation from
the democratic platform of 187S That
it is very similar all will admit The
rpublican party instead of restoring
the Union hns so far as in its power
dissolved it Under its repeated
assaults the pillars of the government
nre rocking on their base and should it
succeed in November next nud inaugu
rate its president we will meet aB a sub
jected aud conquered people amid the
ruins of liberty and the scattered frag
ments of the constitution
This is the love shown by the demo
cratic party in ISO for Abraham Lin
coln and his policies as told in their
platform of that year It appears that
they are the same democrats etill
Under the pretense of a military ne
cessity of a war power higher thnn the
cousitutiou tho constitution itself hn8
been disregarded in every part and pub
lic liberty aud private right alike trod
den down aud the material prosperity of
the couutry essentially impaired
Tho boys iu the Philippiues seem to
bo about unanimous iu the opinion that
the Tugals of this couutry are cnusiug
them moro grief thnn the rebels over
there But for tho encouragement the
fusiouists give their enemies they would
have hud down their arms long ago and
all would have beeu enjoying the in
creased prosperity and happiness thit
always comes to the peoplo brought
under American influence
Mr Bryan is proving himself one of
tho most wonderful dodgers on the plat
form At almost every meeting he has
questious fired it him which ho is com
pelled to sidestcpaud does so with much
ngility He dont even dare say that he
supports hiB party platform
Has anyone noticed Mr Bryan that
great friend of the great common people
doing anything to bring about a settle
ment of the coal miners strike nud thus
prevent the suffering iu those regions
which the fusionistB say existb
A man who fears that this country
will play the tyrant in any of her island
possessions must be a patriotic citizen
indeed and must have a high regard for
the boasted American civilization that
he enjoys
The desperation of the f unionists crops
out in their efforts to mob republican
speakers or iu other ways prevent them
from talking
