IKaaMMihnMtto Hewbrt Saply to the le|> tar's ACM|I|BBM gpseeh. ' Senator Hoar has made a vigoroua reply to Bryan's speecb of acceptance. He practically accuses Bryan of hy­ pocrisy In the part be played in se­ curing the ratification of the treaty with Spain, and hia subsequent cam- Siign against imperialism. Senator oar said: " The anil -imoeklaltem ol Sfj'aix, said Chat of bis party, Is but a mask; it is A mask to cover the THINGS they have had most at heart from the beginning; it is a mask to cover their purpose to establish the free coinage of sliver; a mask to cover their purpose to brinsr in free trade; a mask to cover their purpose to overthrow the banking system; a mask to cover an attack on the supreme court, and a purpose to reorganise It if they can ffet the opportunity. "A very considerable number of the judges of the supreme court of the United States are old men. It is not at all impossible that the majority of the court may be changed during the term of a single president. Long appoint­ ed, I believe, a majority of both courts of Massachusettsduring his three years' service as governor, althoug-h these were, if I mistake not, much younger men. If Bryan shall be elected he will bring his party into power with him, the party- which is at this moment en-' gaged in contriving with masterly in­ genuity the disfranchisement of 10,- 000,000 of Americans at home. "I must have something better than these declarations against imperialism from the candidate who secured the passage of the treaty and baffled all ef­ forts 1 was able to make against it, be­ fore I am ready to purchase his elec­ tion at the cost of having a government that " will sympathize with the dis­ franchisement of 10,000,000 of Americans at home, that will stand for dishonor­ ing the currency, for the violation of national faith, for the overthrowing of the banking system, and the establish­ ing of an Income tax, for assailing the integrity of the supreme court, for sympathizing everywhere with Popu­ lism and socialism; I prefer to support that party which has brought comfort into the homes of our workingmen, which has cleared off the indebtedness of the farmer, which has brought Eng­ land herself to our shores as a bor­ rower, which has made the balance of trade on our side, and established for­ ever the independence of American manufact u re." Hm Helped the Farmers. A farmer in Macon county got his eyes opened to liis own interests in this way: During the latter part of the last Democratic administration he was thoroughly convinced that the only salvation for the country was the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1, and he conscientiously voted for Bryan Ha 1896. During the same period he bor­ rowed money at 7 per cent., mortgag­ ing his farm and paying $100 commis­ sion for the money. After the election of McKinley, Decatur agents looked him up and loaned him the money for 5 per cent, without commission. A few days ago he toM a friend about it and confessed how he had been prejudiced in 1896, and added: "I have voted my last Democratic ticket" • RA­ west m henry, ILLINOIS F. & CORSETS MAKE American Beauties, r - * k4' "V* Latest Moods. # Oa Bach Boot.

Sixteen to one, we rise to remark, "was all wrong in 1896, but in 1900 it Is all right. In 1896, as a result of four yean of Democratic misrule, there were sixteen men chasing after one job. In 1900, as a result of the prosperity that has come with a Re­ publican administration of affairs, there are sixteen jobs hustling after every one unemployed man. Sixteen to one is all right when it is the right 16, and all wrong when it is the wrong sixteen. It eternally happens that the 16 are on the right side when the Re­ publicans are in power, and on the wrong side when the Democrats are on top. Tint Vote**' League. The First Voters' Republican Na­ tional league has been organized for active work during the campaign. The object of this organization, whose headquarters will be in Chicago, will be to enlist young men in the active work of the Republican party. Local leagues will be organized in all the cit­ ies and towns throughout the country. The permanent organization will be «ffected within a few weeks, but for the present Fletcher Dobyns, 100 Washington street, Chicago, will act as temporary president, and all com­ munications in regard to the work should be addressed to him. A Benefit to Farmers. Illinois farmers appreciate the lib­ eral extensions which have been made In the rural free mail delivery service in this state under the Republican ad­ ministration during the past four years, and they want the good work continued. New routes are constantly being established, to the joy of the people. Southern Illlnole Outlook. Governor Tanner, who has been through the southern part of the state, says the Republican vote there will be much larger than it was in 1896. The silver Republicans are largely back in the Republican ranks and the gold Democrats will divide their votes between McKinley and Bryan. Aleehnler** Jlillatone. In addition to his personal <}ualifl- cations, Richard Yates has, in this campaign, the prestige of 40 years of efficient Republican rule in Illinois. One the other hand, Mr. Alschuler has a millstone tied to his neck in the form of four years of Democratic mis­ rule and maladministration. Btnonaee* Bryantsm. Dr. C. W. Matthews, of Richmond precinct, Cass county, has renounced Bryanism and comes out openly for McKinley and Yates. The doctor has for years been a leading Democrat of Cass county, and but recently declined a re-election as county central com­ mitteeman. PwpalbU Arm teerea. The Populists of Illinois seem .to have completely winked out. The In­ fluence of the party was never 'oT^anK moment except to give the Democrat­ ic managers an excuse to desert Dem­ ocratic principles for new and worse ones. Ha* a Proa* Record* Illinois City, one of the prosperous villages of Rock Island county, is proud of the fact that there is not a single Democrat among its citizens. A strong Republican club has just been organised there. THejr Hunir MeCnlleaffh. Yottng Republicans of Champaign hsve organized a McCullough club, In honor of the popular state auditor. It starts wUk • large membership. THE STATE PRESS. Hia Record Stain lea* Republican: Judge Yates, familiarly known as "Dick," is a young man of vigor, independence and ability. He Is moreover honest and fearless, and when elected will be governor of the state. His/hands are clean and he has no plfcdgps to poiiti- dnnf? to make goorj. IIo Jias-the con­ fidence of those who know him best, and his word is out that this state will and shall have the best and pur­ est administration that wisdom, knowledge and ambition can produce, His record is stainless and honorable, and the mantle of his father, the famous "war governor," will be worthily worn by his son. The voters of the state safely trust him, and he wiU |e- ceive their hearty support. ^ The Platform In a NutatoeMj. ^ Canton Register: Haul down the flag! Debase the coinage! Let down the bars excluding foreign pauper la­ bor's products! Abandon the islands lately won from Spain, stop extending American commerce and widening the sphere of American influence. Let Eu­ rope have our rich horiie market and let us double our wealth by measuring It in Mexican dollars! There, in a nutshell, is the Democratic platform. How can patriotic, honest and intelli­ gent Democrats approve it? How can men who love their country, pay their debts and believe Americans entitled to some preference in "America, in­ dorse the deelarations of the Kansas City convention, or support its Candi­ dates? „ • Altgeld as a Prophet. Streator Free Press: One John P. Altgeld isn't saying much about the 200-cent dollars of which he had so much to say four years ago. If they were double value then they* are fully that now, to say -the least. On this basis the recent advances In wages has been something marvelous. -Of Democracy's large aggregation of false prophets, the ex-governor made the most signal and disastrous failure. Policy, Not the Man. Rockford Register-Gazette: Mr. Al­ schuler believes in the Democratic pol­ icies which the majority of the Ameri­ can people believe work ill to the af­ fairs of both government and peonle. On that account he will be antagon­ ized by a solid Republican vote, for the people have learned by trying it that a bad policy is bad for them, no matter how good the head which ad« ministers it- " Soldier* Are for McKinley. Charles Monahan of Elgin, an old member of the-Third Illinois, now serving in the Philippines, writing home, says: "I suppose the campaign is now on in full blast. Among,the soldiers here McKinley Seems to be the favorite candidate, certainly not Bryan." . _ 1? Four Years Late. MattoOli Journal: In 18!H5 the Dem­ ocratic platform denounced the su­ preme court. This year thesr affirm the supreme court. The Democracy is always about four years late In get- aing anything like in line. Bad Year for Populism. Carthage Republican (I)em.): With wheat, corn and hogs on the kite line, and crops overrunning the fields, the calamity howler is liable to get stepped on this fall. Was a Dlaastrous Experiment. Springfield Journal: Illinois cA#ttot afford to risk the experiment of elect­ ing a Democratic legislature. That ex­ periment was tried during the Altgeld Regime with disastrous results. YATES TO SPEAK AT HOME Campaign Will He Opened at Jackson­ ville, Saturday, Sept. 1. It has been definitely arranged that Judge Yates will open bis campaign in his home town of Jacksonville; Sat­ urday, Sept. 1. Judges Elbridge Han- ecy and O. N. Carter of Chicago will be with Judge Yates at this meeting and will make speeches. It is possi­ ble that Congressman Reeves may also be present. This would bring togeth­ er on the platform the four men who were candidates for the Republican nomination for governor. Should Gov­ ernor Tanner return from his western trip in time he, too, will be asked to address this meeting of Judge Yates' campaign. It is proposed to make the occasion a great demonstration, as the old neighbors of the Republican gub­ ernatorial candidate desire a chance^ to show what they think of him. Bryan as a Prophet. Four years ago Mr. Bryan, in one of his speeches, said: "If McKinley is elected the price of grain will go down, the price of gold will go up, mortgages will be foreclosed by the money-sharks, factories and mills will shut down,'we will export no goods^ but will import from foreign coun­ tries all the goods we use. Want and misery will follow. Remember what I say." And we do remember, Mr. Bryan, and how thoroughly and com­ pletely every prediction therein failed. Forget it? Why, bless your heart, we haven't forgotten it nor don't intend that any one else shall, either. Yates Will Have a Lung Lead. St. Louis Globe-Democrat:, "Yates is -making a strong canvass and the chances for his victory are favorable. Illinois at one time was as Democratic as South Carolina is now, but it re­ formed many years ago, and is not go­ ing to backslide this year. The con­ ditions in this state in 1890 and 1892, when it was carried by the Democrats, were widely different from what they are this year. On both the presiden­ tial and the state teket the Republic­ ans will have a long lead in Illinois in 1900. By the abuse which the Dem­ ocrats are heaping on Yates they con­ cede his election." , Not for Bryan This Year. Out of the l,p00 members of the Mc­ Kinley and Roosevelt Rough Rider club of Champaign county, it is claimed that 300 voted for Bryan in 1806. '* . : A twtadllKS Soheaae. • J For some years past the treasury de­ partment has received from time to lime letters from all parts of the coun­ try asking for Information regarding certain large sums of money which, It is alleged, are on deposit in the treas­ ury department awaiting distribution to heirs or persons of great wealth In Europe and America. Among these noted claims is Cf»e ©£ the heirs of a man of the name of De Haven, who Is alleged to have loaned the government of the United States large sums of money during the Revo­ lutionary war. Another well known case Is that of the; Robert Morris es­ tate, the heirs of which, it is said, are entitled to receive from the govern­ ment several millions of dollars. The Durkee claim also Is well knowrn in the department and Involves several mil­ lions of dollars. The latest one is that of the heirs of Annexe Jans, who are said to be Entitled to receive from the United States something like $90,000,- 000, which sum, it is said, has been re­ ceived from Holland and now awaits proof of relationship. It is stated at the treasury depart­ ment that all of these claims are spuri­ ous and that they are made the basis of confidence games by agents who work upon the credulity of the unin­ formed. Agents, it is said, are selling bonds to raise money to prosecute these Claims against the government, realizing something like $10 per $1,000 promised in case of success. The treas­ ury department is powerless to proceed againft these Impostors.--Washington Post. c A Joke on Olfenlmck. Offenbach, the famous opera bouffe composer, had an insatiable thirst for success and fame combined with a vanity that occasionally played him a sorry trick. Once lie was going down the Rhine on a steamer, among whose passengers was the Duke of Nassau, a fact of which the composer was in blissful ig­ norance. As the steamer approached its last stopping place the bank of the river was seen to be covered by a dense throng of people who were shouting and waving, their hats. A band on the pier was playing a march from one of Offenbach's operas. As the boat touched the pier Offen­ bach stepped to the rail and bowed and waved his hat to the people in ac­ knowledgment of this flattering ova­ tion. "It is glorious to be received In a foreigri land like this!" he remarked to his companions. But his self complacency received a rude shock the next instant when the duke's adjutant appeared and said, in a rough and unfeeling manner: "Get out of the way, will you, and let his highness show himself!" Beauty and Education. Why Is it that woman has always been more beautiful than man? In human beings the attractive qualities have always been on the side of the female. Why is it? Without wishing to cast any aspersion on the members of the superior sex, we may fairly an­ swer that it is because they have hith­ erto been the less educated. But wom­ an's ideas are changing. She has lis­ tened to the voice of the tempter, whis­ pering In her ear all sorts of sweet fal­ lacies about equality of the sexes, in­ tellectual development and its neces­ sity, and the like, and she has yielded to the temptation. And the result of this will be that she will lose her beauty. She will suffer in appearance as man has done and is doing, and in the course of time the extremely civ­ ilized races of mankind will be ugly--- Irretrievably and lamentably ugly.-- Pearson's Magazine. A Famou Pearl, The beautiful pearl known as the Great Southern Cross was found in Western Australia in the year 1884. It consists of nine pearls joined together In the form of a cross, In which shape it was found by a man named Clarke. It is said that the finder and the first purchaser of it buried it for some time, superstitiously regarding It as a heav­ enly miracle. It was, however, ulti­ mately taken up from its burial place and sold for $1,000. since which time It has frequently changed hands and Is now valued at $50,000. At the Colonial and Indian exhibition in England it at­ tracted a good deal of notice and is probably the only natural cross ever found. A in$- Sanator Cullom at Atton. Senator Cullom has accepted an tation to address the Alton McKinley club, Wednesday, Aug. 29. which will be his first speech in the campaign. Yates Buttons on All. There are "Cullom men" and "Tan­ ner men," but it is a dispiriting sight to Mr. Alschuler to see Yates buttons m th# taf wt# of ail of them. Cannibal* and Pork. In the New Hebrides human life has been made safe by the Introduction of pigs into the island. The cannibals are said to prefer roast pork to roast man, and as the porcine tribe increases among the natives they may give up their feasts on htufian flesh altogether excepting when |something unusual happens, such as entertaining a king of some other cannibal Island or on state occasions.of rare ceremony. Tongh on tke Joker. The contributor wrote a joke about a plumber whose bills were always normal. "That," said the editor, re­ jecting it, "Is not a joke; it's a lie."
