WILLIAM HINTZ AND HIS
EXPERIENCE WITH SHEEP.
William Hints, oae of the best
known German farmers in Hancock
County, Ohio, gives this reason for
his conversion from Bryanism: "I
used to be a Democrat, and I was
one until I found that by voting the
Democratic ticket I was voting
against my sheep. I had a big
flock of sheep on my farm. The
Democratic party in 1892 initiated
free trade and took the duty off
wool. The price fell to 11 cents. It
made me think. I studied the ques
tion hard and conscientiously, and
from all sides. I looked at it in an
unbiased manner. What was good
for me certainly must be good for
my neighbor, and he must also suf
fer with me. If the price of my wool
depreciated, the cost of clothes
might be less, but I would have no
money to buy them. I studied the
matter carefully, and came to the

conclusion that I might just as well
kill my sheep as. vote the Democrat
ic ticket Then came the cry of free
silver. In my life I have found that
it is wise to follow successful men.
Therefore if a man is a money
maker, why not watch him and try
the same methods yourself? I found
that the men of the country who
had money were against free silver.
I asked myself why, and concluded
free silver would be bad for my
sheep. I voted for McKinley and
the Republican platform and have
done so ever since. I shall support
the Republican ticket this year. I
am no longer a Democrat but a Re

Dr. J. A. Milburn, pastor of the
Second Presbyterian church of In

champion of Democratic principles
in the past intends to vote the Re
publican ticket this year. He says:
"I see no reason why a minister
should not express his political pref
erences, as well 'as any one else. I
have been for long years a Demo
crat, but at the last Presidential
election voted for McKinley. I will
vote for him again. Mr. Bryan, I
think, is a good man, but he is the
incarnation of economic heresies,

genius of a growing world. He has

KANSAS WANTS EXPANSION
AND GENERAL PROSPERITY
W. H. Nation, a leading Populist
of Erie, Neosho Co., Kansas: "Mc
KInley's election was not attended
by the evil consequences predicted,
in fact the time since the election of
1896 has been a period of almost un
exampled prosperity. Instead of
men hunting work, you now find
work hunting men, and the doleful
predictions made four years ago
now read like a comic almanac, and
this fact has made it necessary to
create a new issue, consequently,
the question of imperialism has been
brought forward and the Democrat
ic party has become sentimental and
is shedding tears over the wrongs of
the colored man (10,000 miles away).
I can see no reason why the Populist
parly should any longer follow Mr.
Bryan, the fact that nearly all the
gold Democrats that bolted Bryan in
'96 are supporting him now leads
me to believe that secretly he has
abandoned the silver issue, and on
that issue only was he in sympathy
with the Populist party. From the
first I have been in favor of retain
ing the Philippines and sustaining
the administration."

J. R. Williams. Bucks, Summers Co.,

nomination he wrote: "As an honest
man I cannot consent to allow my
name to remain on a ticket I cannot
support. I voted for William McKinley
in 1896 and am x proud of it. as I feel
the Republican party has fully redeem
ed all its pledges made to the people
then, and especially to the farmers. I
desire no change in the administration.
I feel that I can support my family
better and easier; have better prices
and readier markets for the products
of my farm under a Republican ad
ministration. I cannot jeopardize my
interests for any untried theory of free
silver or bugaboo of imperialism. I
am for McKinley and the Repuolican
ticket"
B. F. Meador, Dunns. West Va.: "I
have been a life-long Democrat, voting
that ticket for 21 years, but I find that
the Republican party is the party of the
people; the party for the farmer and
laboring man. I can live easier and
have more comforts of life under a
Republican administration than under
a Democratic administration. In view
of these facts, I can no longer support
the Democratic ticket, and hereby de
clare myself for McKinley and the iie

the unqualified opinion that, not only
as wise political and commercial
measure, but as a duty to the inhab
itants of the Philippine Islands, they
should be retained as our territory and
should be governed as our other terri
tories are governed. To this view I
still adhere, regardless of the wishes
of the comparatively few who are in
rebellion against our government"
William H. Devlin, at one time
Democratic candidate for assembly

rebellion against the authority of the
United States, and for my part, I be

or our government is recognized no
negotiations toward dmm ahmiM k

have undertaken new responsibilities
and are liable to the governments of
tne world lor tne proper preservation
of property rights and maintenance of
good government. In my judgment
this can be brought about at the pres

government being recognized and re

others, I favor the policy of President
McKinley. and intend to vote for him."
