A$ S mass meeting held In Tonlimon ball, Indianapolis, recently, Mayor Harrison, of Chicago, presided and aft­ er a brief speech, is which he predicted the election of Mr. Bryan, introduced Mr. Bryan himself, who, among other things said:, VI want to say that we are in a much bet­ ter position this year than we were in 189(5, because of the fact that we have control of the city government Qf many, if not most, of the large cities of this country. Mayor Harrison presides over the city second in size in the United States. I had a suspi­ cion that there were some repeaters in Chicago in 1S96. We have control of the city government of the largest city in Indiana. We have control of the city governments of New York city and Buffalo, two of the largest cities in the state of New York. We have control of the city government of Jer­ sey City; we have Baltimore, we have Cleveland, and in Toledo, although the njayor does not call himself a democrat, 1 know he won't let any republicans cheat in that city. We have control of Louisville, Ky.; we have control of Detroit; we have control of Milwaukee; we have control of Kansas City; we liave control of Denver and we have control of San Francisco. It is a great advantage to have control of the machinery in these great cities." Mr. Bryan, in this estimate, shows a JfnowLedge of the situation, creditable to his political sagacity and quite be­ yond any calculation made by many of his democratic friends. Possibly a few leading lights. Cro- ker, of New York, and Harrison, of Chi­ cago, had a knowledge of the advantage to be gained by the fact, but, more dis­ creet than Mr. Bryan, tl^ey did not de­ sire to parade it, lest the rural sections of the country should be alarmed at the threat of city domination, and at once go to work to counteract it. Mr. Bryan rendered the, republicans great service by the boast thus made and there is a largeness of truth in the proposition, for the careful examina­ tion of statistics show that the demo­ crats do control all of the larger cities. It is well worth while to cut into this subject in order to properly size up this boast of Mr. Bryan. Fifty years ago only 20 per cent, of the votes of the country were cast in the cities. The phenomenal growth of cities in the United States, stimu­ lated by protection and development by manufacturing interests (under which well paid labor, and plenty of work, keep up a continuous paeon of prosperity) has changed all this, until now more than 50 per cent, of the votes of the country are cast in our cities, large and small, thus giv­ ing practically- to the cities of the country the power to control the elec­ tion of the country, the only, abate­ ment being in the hope that the bet­ ter class' of voters in the cities, added to the always reliable country vote, can yet control the destinies of the country when the full "reliable" vote is cast. But, unfortunately for the best in­ terest of the country, the full "re­ liable" vote is never cast. The good citize-n in the city is often so "good" that he takes very little, if any, inter­ est in either primary or regular elec­ tions. A wait of ten or fifteen minutes in order to vote is loss of valuable time, besides he does not like to be elbowed and crowded in line by the unsavory class on which Bryan is relying for his election. While it runs much in this way in the cities, the "reliable" country vote is trimmed on a large scale. It ranges from one to a possible six miles, in the rural precincts, to the polls. The roads are bad, or it is a good day to finish that Harm work, or other duties press, and the "reliable" voter reasons thus: "It is too cold or wet, or likely to storm. This is a republican coun­ ty anyhow and' my vote will not be needed. Yates, the papers say, will have 100,000 majority and McKjnley-- ha! the idea of Bryan beating him is ridiculous," and thus reasoning, the good, reliable, moral citizen proceeds to give Brj'an and the entire unsavory ticket one-half a vote each, by not vot­ ing at all, himself. On the other hand the vicious, un­ scrupulous voters, largely a purchas­ able element, always ready to be bought and always voting, a class whose "efficiency" has placed the cities of the country in democratic hands, is the class Mr. Bryan is culti­ vating, and from which he bases such great expectations of democratic suc­ cess. It is up to the "good citizen" in the cities and the conservative voter in the agricultural districts, as to wheth­ er Bryan's boast of being elected by "democratic cities" is realized, or whetherthe boastful braggart shall be slain at the polls by the patriotic re­ liable, conservative combination, who do not think democratic cities a safe line from which our rulers should emanate. ' • In the light of Mr. Bryan's sudden love for the corrupting influences of "democratic cities" his oft boasted re­ gard for the common people, as rep­ resented by the farmers of our coun­ try, can be, ahd should be, correctly measured. . *>• Working for McKinley. Hon. Richard Wedekin, of Raymond, who was twice elected mayor of that city, and has held various other of­ fices of trust, came out a few days ago in a letter announcing his inten­ tion of supporting the entire republic­ an ticket and declaring his intention of speaking all over the Eighteenth district for Brenholt for congress, and (he whole ticket. He was for Bryan four years ago, and did some effective campaigning for him. - k a r * * ~ r i A ii»i f. - ... •* rl IPOllTICAt PSWl'TS |A "HURRY DP" CALL FOR THE POLITICAL Q0ACK DOCTOR.t W'KINLEY, WE'LL ALL VOTE FOR • ; ' YOU. • ,• Air--Red, White and Blue.

Julius Dietrich, publisher of the Bloomington Journal, a German week ly newspaper, has announced that hereafter his newspaper wiil support McKinley and the republican ticket. The paper has always heretofore bees • democratic organ. FremorrtrMabie, a Franklin Grbve boy, serving with the army in the Philippines, writing home, says, in part "If Bryan were to be elected in November and our troops were to be withdrawn from the islands, every soldier would bow his head for shame if Old Glory were to be pulled down from where we have placed it. What have our boys not done in order to place it where it is now? We have endured almost every hardship to which a soldier can be exposed, many a gallant lad is lying dead, many have been wounded so that they can never recover; many have contracted dis­ eases from which they can never re­ cover. No one who has not gone through a campaign in the army can ever imagine what one has to go through and put up with. When I see a speech that some Bryan 'anti' hac made, in which he has advocated withdrawing our troops, I feel ashamed that he is an American. I believe in case they were withdrawn, I should feel like transferring my cit­ izenship. Ihe thinking class of Fili­ pinos do not ask it. They say they must have our support. Only those who are looking for personal ag­ grandizement wish it. What the Fili­ pino is anxious to have our govern­ ment do, is to establish schools where­ in his children may learn to speak 'Americano' and get at least a prac­ tical education." Ignorlas State Issues. John P. Altgeld made two speeches in Chicago last week, yet he had not a single" word to offer in defense of his corrupt administration as governor of Illinois, ignoring state issues entirely and devoting his time to the so-called "imperialism" and abuse of the repub­ licans. Samuel Alschuler, the demo­ cratic candidate for governor, is go­ ing over the state making speeches, yet he, too, is discreetly silent as to the Altgeld administration, of which he was a part, making no reference to or defense, whatever, of the misman­ agement of state institutions and wholesale corruption during the Alt: geld regime. Neither of these demo­ cratic leaders dare face the people of Illinois and compare the record of Alt­ geld as governor with that of the pres­ ent administration. What reasonable excuse can they offer in asking voters of this state to return this same old dishonest gang to office ? They Appreciate Prosperity. The annual conference of the Northwood rivpr conference of the Colored Baptist church, just ad­ journed at Joliet, unanimously passed the following resolution, which was introduced by Rev. J. H. Green, moderator of the conference: "Resolved: We, the undersigned, pastors of the Northwood Colored Bap­ tist conference, appreciate the pros­ perity of our country and the fair­ ness of the administration, state and national. We therefore pledge our support to the republican party and hope for a* successful victory Novem­ ber next" McKinley'* Letter Did It. Thomas D. Knight, former assistant prosecuting attorney for Cook county, and for all' his life a leading demo­ cratic worker, has announced his con­ version to republicanism and desire to make some republican speeches. "I wavered about coming over to re­ publicanism," he said, "until I read President McKinley's letter of accept­ ance, and that settled me and the question. Imperialism I oelieved to be • falacj." WHAT BUSINESS HAS |l!he Democratic Party a Miserable Failure In the Field at State Politics. r The funny part Of it is that neither Sir. Alschuler nor any of his friends dare to attack the republican admin­ istration of state finances and state institutions during the last four years. No democratic orator or journalist has dared to promise to "reform" or to change a single detail of management. On the other hand, every republican speaker and writer produces facts and figures to prove that during Altgeld's administration, the only democratic administration of Illinois' affairs since 1860, everything went helter-skelter towards ruin. The republican surplus became a democratic deficit, the tax levies w,ere increased, the state insti­ tutions became extravagant and cor­ rupt. All these things have been charged over and over Again, with facts, figures, dates and every requisite of a full bill of particulars, by the re­ publican press, and at every repub­ lican meeting, and no democrat has dared to speak or write in defense of Altgeld's solitary democratic admin­ istration. Moreover, in the republican state platform, in every issue of the repub­ lican state press, at every republican rally, it has been alleged and demon­ strated that a return to republican policy has wiped out the democratic deficit, substituted a republican sur­ plus, reduced the democratic tax lev­ ies and purified the state institutions; and no democrat has dared to deny any one of these reiterated asser­ tions. What business, then, has the demo­ cratic party in the field of state poli­ tics? If it cannot defend, and even dare not attempt to palliate, the ex­ travagance, folly and corruption of Altgeld's administration, why does it venture to support Alschuler, who is Altgeld's disciple, and who is under the same evil influences that surround Altgeld? If the republican manage­ ment of state affairs has been so ex­ cellent that neither Alschuler nor Alt­ geld dare to Criticize it, why are the people to displace it, by a return to ail the evils from which republican pol­ icy has rescued the people of Illinois? Has any democratic journalist or ora­ tor been able to give a valid reason for its preference of Alschuler, with hib Altgeldian affinities, to Yates, who has been trained in the economic, yet pro­ gressive, policies of the republican party? Not one. They Are Still for the Flag. The annual gathering of the South­ ern Illinois soldiers' and sailors' re­ union was held at Carbondale, Jack­ son county, last week. This organ­ ization numbers many hundred mem­ bers--possibly thousands. A regis­ ter is kept each day of all members present. The person in charge of this register book makes acknowledg­ ment that on the first two days of the meeting--and it lasted three days --out of 885 soldiers and sailors who registered their names, not one wore a Bryan or Alschuler campaign but­ ton, while every one of them did wear either a McKinley and Roose­ velt button or a Yates buttoi^. The third and last day's registry showed that out of the 1,400 registered there were but 24 Bryan buttons found on members' coat kipels. > The fact was reported to Commander Gen. James Marliii; and has just been made known. Keeps the Tramps Away. Among the various conversions in Bond county from Bryanism to re­ publicanism is James Nolan, living in old Ripley township, a gentleman of Irish descent, 72 years of age, a life­ long democrat. In a conversation a few days ago with a prominent re­ publican of that precinct he declared that if he was spared until election day he would cast his vote for Mc­ Kinley and the republican ticket. His main reason is worth repeating: Said he: "Under the last democratic ad­ ministration I fed two or three tramps every day, and sometimes even more than that. Now, I have, not seen a tramp since the democrats went out of power, and if you fellows are smart enough to keep the tramps away„ I'm going with you this time." \/ Roosevelt's Illinois Itinerary. Gov. Theodore Roosevelt will enter Illinois from his western trip Oc­ tober 5th and. for three days be the guest of this state. He speaks at Rock Island the 5th, Sterling, De- Kalb and Chicago the 6th, resting in Chicago Sunday, the 7th. Monday, the 8th, he starts down the state for St. Louis, speaking en route at Streator, Peoria, Springfield, Jacksonville, Al­ ton and East St. Louis. Then he goeu into Missouri for a week's cam- paigp work. - TILLMAN'S IttFtHMBHC* Forms v Slave Driver's Brassy Hips­ ter Abont the Fall Dinner , - ' Pall, It Is h&pn&ence in the supertattve when former Slave-Driver Tillman comes from Sosth Carolina to Wiscon­ sin or Illinois and tells the free la­ borers that "the full dinner pail" is a degrading campaign issue--for, says the former slave driver, "our negro slaves ul<ed to have enough to eat." Some of them did, man}' of them did not. But none 'of them had what they wanted to eat, not even those-who got enough coarse food. "The full din­ ner pail of the north" means a pail full of what the wage-earner likes; choice meat, a variety of vegetables, fruit in season, pie; "cold corn-dodger and sowbelly," the staple food of Mr. Till­ man's former slaves, do not go in the north. Nor does the northern laborer "wash down" his meals with "watah in a goad, fresh from the spring." He drinks tea. coffee or beer, as seems good unto him. / ^ - The beginning of progress is ih a din­ ner pail full of good food. The sounfl" mind generally dwells in a sound body; There is an inevitable 'progression--the well-fed person soon becomes ambii tious to be a well-dressed person, the well-dressed person finds it necessary to educate himself, lest he be laughed at as a "chump in good clothes." The full dinner pail is not all of the measure of a man's or a na­ tion's happiness and prosperity; but it is the beginning of both. When Mr. Tillman's democratic friends came into power on March 4, 1893. we all know what followed. First: The dinner pails became empty, or at best poorly filled. Second: The attendance at the public schools fell off. Third: The sale of books and newspapers fell off. Men who have not money enough to feed themselves and their families gen­ erously have little money to spend in clothing their children decently for school, and less for self-education by books and newspapers. i Democratic ascendancy always has been fpllowed by poverty, panic and hunger. Republican policy has al­ ways maintained prosperity to all, good food, good homes, good schools, wide diffusion of knowledge and con* tinuous progress from g<pod to still bet­ ter times. SOME UNDENIABLE FACTS. Gov. Fifer Left Illinois In Good Con# iltlss and Altareld Bank- * rupted It. Illinois voters will be interested in knowing that during Gov. Fifer's ad­ ministration only $17,000,000 was ap­ propriated for the expenses of state government, and yet he left to his successor a balance of over $2,500,000. During Altgeld's |dministration, $19,- 000,000 was appropriated for general expenses, and the surplus left by Fifer was consumed, and there was a cash deficit of over $500,000. At the begin­ ning of Gov. Tanner's administration there was a deficit of cash in the treaa* ury, besides the state institutions were in debt and borrowing money at a high rate of interest, and the tax levy during the years of Altgeld's ad­ ministration had heavily increased. Gov. Tanner has not only paid off all indebtedness, but has a handsome sur­ plus in the treasury, and the tax rate is reduced and has become normal. Besides this, the revenue laws have been so wisely revised by the repub­ lican legislature that the bondholders^ holders of stocks and mortgages, must pay their just burden of taxation. This revision of the revenue laws will take at least one-third of the burden off the small farmers throughout the state. These facts speak louder than any words in behalf of the republican administration of affairs of the state. Cannot Go Modern Democracy. Several democrats in Crawford coun­ ty have lately come over to the sup­ port of McKinley and Yates. The most prominent among these is George W. Jones, an attorney of prominence in Robinson. In the last Cleveland cam­ paign he made a number of speeches, and four years^ago he entered the Bry­ an campaign with earnestne'ss, speak­ ing not only in Crawford but in adjoin­ ing counties. He received a personal letter from Senator Joe Blackburn a year ago, urging him to go to Kentucky to make speeches, but as he was losing faith in modern democracy he ditj not go: When Bryan was nominated on the Kansas City platform he deter­ mined to break with his old political associates, and he has just announced that he is ready to take the stump in defense of the policy of President McKinley and the republican plat­ form. Illinois Republicans Polled. Chairman Rowe. of the republican state committee, speaking of the re­ turns as shown *by the poll books from Illinois, said: "The poll as far as received is the most encouraging possible. It shows that in nearly all of the counties in the state the re- ppblicanvotewill be larger than it was in 1896. and also shows a larger re­ publican gain in each of the counties than was had four years ago ' Our great concern now is to have this vote got out November 6, .and for this purpose the full committee has been called together October 2 to devise ways and means whereby our full vote will be cast election day." Notable Desertion In Ogl«, Charles Bettebener, one of the most influential leaders of democracy in Ogle county, is satisfied with present conditions and came out for the re­ election of McKinley and the repub­ lican ticket.* Mr. Bettebener was elect­ ed sheriff of Ogle county. Ss th£ demo­ cratic candidate, eight years ago. his peVsonal popularity having much to do with his triumph. His desertion of Bryan will have much influence among a large following of friends. , * ..
