Sincerity of tkc Democratic Csb- '> tUate Lies Under Sa«- " "•'T'c plcio*. ' v\'w! When William J. Bryan accepts the challenge of Congressman. Boutell, of the Sixth Illinois district, his political lione&ty will be beyond question. Till he does accef^ it--and it is ascertain as to-morrow'® sunrise that he will not accept it--the sincerity of the demo­ cratic candidate must lie under suspi­ cion. , Mr. Boutell's challenge ie in tihis wise: That inasmuch as Mr. .Bryan has declared the "paramount issue"-- the words> are his own--to be the in­ iquity of American rule in the Philip­ pines, and by parity of reason in any other place in which the laws of the republic have force, "without consent of the governed," now, therefore, if Mr. Bfyan will speak in the capital city of each of the old slave states, and there will urge upon the white democratic voters of those states the necessity and justice of repealing all state laws and constitutions by which the colored citizens of those states are disfran­ chised, and of guaranteeing to the colored voters, who are a majority of all the voters in some of those states, a full and fair exercise of all the rights of citizenship, inclusive of the choice of governor, state legislators, con­ gressmen, United States senators and presidents, why, then Mr. Bryan's plea for "consent of the governed" in the Philippines may be entitled to respect­ ful consideration. But Mr. Bryan's organization does not believe in "consent of the gov­ erned" in the United State®, and if it does not believe in it here, how c$n it expect the American voter to believe that- Mr. Bryan and his friends really believe in "consent of the goverjicil" in the Philippines? REBELS PRAY FOR BRYAN. Prafiig for Bryan's Election. We ask God that He may grant the triumph of the demo­ cratic party in the United States, which is the party that defends the Philippines^ and that imperialism may cease from its mad idea" cf subduing us with its arms; and I hope that my fears may not be real­ ized, that the x imperialistic party will revenge itself on the Philippines by enforcing a large indemnity. -- Extract from a Proclamation by Aguinaldo. „ u ; «l Bryan's Blcettoa.lL j.. The quadruple alliance be­ tween France, Russia, Germany and Spain is a fact. Before De­ cember we will know our fat% Throughout Europe there la sympathy for our cause. Ameri­ can democrats are all in our fa­ vor. They are sure of Bryan's triumph next election.--Extract from the Intercepted Instruc­ tions of a Filipino Officer, Dated Tarlac, November 15. Democratic Chairman Revolta, Jesse H. Donnelly, for 36 years a wheel horse of the democrats in north Shelby county, and chairman of the last democratic township con­ vention, has come out boldly against Bryan and in favor of Expansion ih its broadest M ' ©•*»rca«aiai»'-' Bryan an« Heresies. Hon. Owen Scott, of Decatur, a life­ long democrat, has entirely divorced- himself from the democratic party and come out squarely for McKinley, Yates and good government. At the big re­ publican rally at Decatur, addressed by Judge Yates and the other state candi­ dates, Mr. Scott served as chairman, and caused a decided political sensa­ tion by renouncing modern, democracy and its heresies, in which he was ap­ plauded to the echo. Mr. Scott former­ ly resided at Bloomington, where he published the Daily Bulletin, the lead­ ing democratic organ. He was elected to congress by the democrats from the old Fourteenth Illinois district, and became prominent in political affairs in the democratic ranks. Mr. Scott sfiid, in part, at Decatur: "When in the course of human events It becomes necessary for an American citi- sen to dissolve the bands which have con­ nected him with a political party and to assume among hie fellows the independent station to which the laws of his country entitle him, a decent respect for the opin. Ions of others may constrain him to declare the causes which impel him to the separa­ tion. "The Bryan mfcn are a party of negation. They have but one positive opinion. They were forced by their leader to declare for 16 to 1. And yet on this they discounted their standing by resolving that another is the paramount issue. On all other public questions they are simply 'agin the govern­ ment.' They stand around and see which Side the republicans take and then they take the other. They snarl and find fault. They do not start out with an affirmative policy, but undertake to pull down those who go ahead to do something. The aggre gatlon now wearing the democratic label is made up of every ism and faction which for 26 years has had its grievance. Such a motley combination is not democratic. No one can exactly tell what it is. Mr. Stevenson came as near guessing it when he called them 'Bryan men* as anyone could. The republicans are aggressive and progressive and the party is a world party, Bryan the Autocrat. * "In 1896 the great section of gold demo­ crats, so-called for want of a better name, looked forward to 1900 hoping that four years of calm consideration might restore the party to its reason. No star of hope arose. The Kansas City convention was in the grasp of one imperial hand. Although a majority were anxious to ameliorate the extreme position of 1896 by a mild dose of approval of the Chicago platform, the auto­ crat of democracy would have nothing less than his pound of flesh. He must have tfhfe IS to 1 heresy emphasized by reiteration/ It was done. Hill, Croker, Senator Jones, Gov. Stone and all the other pilgrims who went to Lincoln to implore Mr. Bryan to relent had their journey for their pains. "There is an effort to shift the issues. The silver question and the Chicago plat­ form are to be obscured by declaring that some convenient stalking horse is the para­ mount Issue. Paramount issues are not made by resolution. William Jennings Bryan is the paramount issue. When a party seeks to undermine the very founda­ tion of business by espousing a false mone­ tary system the country cannot be de­ ceived by the planks of a party platform. The scarecrow of imperialism has been set up to obscure the real and fundamental doctrines of Bryanism. "Questions growing out of the war with Spain must be settled. When Mr. Bryan recommended and caused the ratification of the treaty with Spain he must have re­ alised the grave problem that the posses­ sion of Porto Rico and the Philippines must bring. The people are patriotic enough to settle these questions for the interests ofK the country. So far the co­ lonial system has not been adopted or pro­ posed. Congress must say what shall be done. The people of the United States must face these conditions. It may be that the acquisition of these islands of the Pacific was unfortunate. If so it is the misfor­ tune of Dewey's victory at Manila and the subsequent ratification of the treaty. One thing is sure. The whole people are re­ sponsible and the solution of the problem will devolve upon them. But One Imm. There is but one issue, paramount or otherwise, in this campaign. That is the maintenance of a sound monetary system. On this the republican party is all right and the silvercratlc party, or Bryan men, are all wrong. As to the personality of candidates. It may be said they are all honorable men. Mr. Bryan is conscientious and determined to do the right as he sees it. A resolute man with a rugged conscience and false policy 1b the most dangerous. Those who know Mr. Bryan personally, as I do, respect his purity of private character, but fear his unbending determination to carry his pur­ poses into execution. If elected he would have free silver if by moving heaven and earth he could secure it. He would carry out every plank of the Chicago platform If he had the power. He would organise a cabinet which would construe the law ac­ cording to his notions. Aitgeld as secretary of the treasury, Tillman as attorney gen- as secretary of state, George Fred Williams as secretary of the interior, Jerry Simpson as secretary of agriculture, with others of like views, would mair# havoc of the affairs of the country for four years. Bryan's sincerity is blameless, but dangerous on his platform." Giving All to Rebel*. J; yiL: Oldham, of the Thirtieth in­ fantry volunteer hospital corps, writ­ ing from Tayabas, Philippine islands, to the Fayette County Republican, says: ^ "It is the general opinion here that if Bryan and his friends would keep their mouths shut about this country the entire group of Philip­ pine islands would be as quiet as are the people of the states, but the dem­ ocrats seem to be determined to de­ feat McKinley, if possible, and are taking the same course pursued by them during the war of the rebellion for the rebels and against the best in­ terests of the United States." Repubteans Work in Harmony. Chairman J. Mack Scholl, of the re­ publican state speakers' bureau, is ar­ ranging his schedules so that Judge Yates will appear from the same plat­ form with all of the big speakers dur­ ing the campaign. He will have Gov. Tanner with him a portion of the time, Senator Cullom at other times, Congressman Reeves at other dates, and so on, making the campaign with every one of the big speakers. Gen. Clark Doing 6oo4 Work. Gen. Horaoe 8, Clark, the republic an candidate for congress in the Nine­ teenth district, is conducting a vigor­ ous campaign for the whole ticket. Gen. Clark is one of the finest orators in Illinois and close to the comrades who served with him during the civil war. His ability is unquestioned and his frietds feel confident that his patriotic campaign Will result in a .grand victory. t ;:r 4 y. ; n - 'VT E The Best and Host Goods for the least Money ̂ * }», , * \l. < Qt ' " 1 * ^ : % X I ^ J- v opened, in coming to our Trading Pl&ce^you need nof tear of being talked to death on Politics, or bothered about Religion, as those are matters of your own, but we have and do insist, during the present Campaign, to insert in the Platform,, Our M / \ i.,,- ^ „ „ '-"t ""/* " -i If our experience in business gained in the past, and the Money with which we Discount all Bills are any help to the Trading Public, you are all invited to share in this ^ «, n4. *• V \ \ y r" ,/r' ' V+'1 * ' ' • A S CLOTHING and OVERCOATS! 1 •>. *i4 •• f ">*5^: While Prices on Clothing are a little stiller than it were three or four years ago.
