Apply to agents Chicago A North-Western R'y, liEMM UAVUTO BBTA». frMperllr Haa Captured Then la tk« Statement Made by Jofca A. GUlecpie. Four ysars ago one of the most ar» Sent supporters of Bryan in Clinton county was John A. Gillespie, a pros­ perous farmer residing near Keyes- port. He would abandon his plow In the field for the sake of partici­ pating in a political argument and lauding the democratic party. Being a well-read man, he was of consid­ erable assistance to the party which he has been wedded to for 20 years. Mr. Gillespie was such a bitter dem­ ocrat that he would not even vote for a republican for a township office. Since 1896 he has been enjoying pros­ perity, and attributes this to the pres­ ent administration. In an interview he gives his reasons for repudiating the Kansas City platform in the fol-, lowing terse language: "I have been voting the democratic ticket for 20 odd years, and while I was firmly convinced four years ago that the principles advocated by Mr. Bryan were correct, yet in view of the progress which the country has made and the changed condition of affairs since 1896, I doubt the propriety; in fact, I am against making any radi­ cal change in our administration at present. Everybody knows that since 1896 there has been a marked im­ provement in our financial and busi­ ness condition; hence there can be no profound desire for a change like that which existed in 1896. At that time I could not sell a horse or any­ thing else at scarcely any price. I could not borrow $50 from any of my neighbors. I can now take the same security and get $1,000 from many of my neighbors if I so desire. It is not necessary to make application at any bank. The farmers are prospering at the present time; therefore I do not want any change. It Is toy honest opinion that such a change would cause a repetition of the hard times that prevailed before McKinley was inaugurated into office. I feel that McKinley has fulfilled his promises, and I want to give him the opportu­ nity to continue in the presidential chair; therefore I propose to support him in November. 'With all Sincerity to my democratic friends, I must say I do not want to go back to four years ago, wheii depression was felt all over our broad land. I am firmly convinced that such a radical change as now advocated by Mr. Bryan'will produce these same old hard times; at least for awhile; and I will leave my old party for the present before I will take a dose to make me sick, so I can be cured, for I believe if I ever get Cured my condition could not pos­ sibly be any better than it now is, and so long as the party maintains the prosperity that now exists among farmers I will give it credit to the extent of voting for it." Desertion* In Perry County. William K. Murphy, of Pinckney- ville, ex-senator, collector of revenue under Cleveland, candidate for con­ gress and for ages a democratic" lead­ er of worth and great weight, has come out open and above board for the whole republican ticket, and which cuts the democrats of that section to the heart. His partner, Judge George W. Wall, of Du Quoin, former appellate court judge, banker, wealthy and a life-long democrat of strength, with his two sons, have joined the McKinley ranks. Harmon, Edward and Charles Hencke, three of the wealthiest and most influential German merchants of Perry county, have also announced for McKinley. The best of the democratic leaders have come out for McKinley and Yates, and democratic Perry, the first in the state to send in her poll books, will give a handsome majority for the republican ticket this year without question. W. Sv Wilson, former super­ intendent of the Illinois Central at Pinckneyville, is another democratic leader now with the republicans. Senator Stewart Against Bryan. Senator William M. Stewart, of Ne­ vada. who was one of Bryan's most ar­ dent supporters in 1896, announces that he has decided to vote for McKinley this year. He says: "The United States went to war with Spain urged on by the democratic party. The pop­ ularity of the war was such that Mr. Bryan joined the army. The war was successful, a treaty of peace was en­ tered into whereby the United States agreed to pay $20,000,000 and accept the sovereignty and public property of Spain in the Philippine archipelago. There was opposition to the ratification^ of the treaty. Mr. Bryan came to Washington and persuaded his demo­ cratic friends to vote for the treaty, and it was through his influence that the treaty was finally ratified." Senator Stewart strongly criticises Bryan for deserting the principles for which he fought four years ago. Sloklea Is for the Flaf, Gen. Daniel E. Sickles, of New York, who has been a life-long democrat, in his address at the Coliseum in Chicago during grand army encampment week, 6poke strongly for the administration. This one utterance was enough to show his repudiation of Bryan and Bryan's principles: "The flag now floats, and will never cease to float, over the islands in the Atlantic and Pacific. No man will ever see it come down." Nothing could be more directly antag­ onistic to the democratic "paramount issue." ' Will Keep His Word. D. C. Keleher, of Orion, Henry coun­ ty, an old democrat, told M. L. Love, of Moline, after the last presidential elec­ tion that if the. times became good un­ der a republican administration he would change his politics. Now that the times are good, Mr. Keleher will vote the straight republican ticket thla fall, says the Moliae Dispatch. f | DIRECTORY BUSINESS CARDS. R O S S , D . D .
