Other National and State Politi- cal Topics---Omens of Victory in November. The Colfax, Wash., Commoner, pub- lishes a letter from an Ohio Lincoln; Republican, Capt. Silas S. Canfield, which from the gentleman’s connec- tion with the politics of that state may well be taken as indicative of where thousands “of former Republicans of that state will be found in this contest. Capt. Canfield is widely known in the Buckeye state, where he was always 1 staunch party worker, and was a Lin- 20ln wide-a-awake in the-first Lin- roln campaign. He has a proud sol- lier record in the civil war, and is of ancestry extending through the war of 812, the Revolution, the French and Indian war, and traces his lineage back o the French Huguenots. He is the | father of two sons prominent men in Washington state, and of George S. Zanfield, of this state. He is connect- sd with the anti-imperialist and inde- | oxendent movements in Ohio, which it is estimated numbers from 30,000 to| 50,000 voters, most of whom last; ‘all voted for “Toledo” Jones, but who | txpect this year to vote for Mr.:Bryan. The Commoner says, in publishing, | Dapt. Canfield’s letter, that it shows} how the tide is going in Ohio. The} letter is as follows: | “It anyone asks you how your tather stands politically, you can safe- ly say he is for the man or party. that bids fairest to defeat McKinley and} the Republican party. To everyone who disapproves of the policy of the Republicans—everyone who is in favor of the restoration of our currency, tak- ing the control of money from bank- ers and restoring the system of Lin- coln, to-wit, gold, silver and green- backs—everyone who condemns _ the eourse being pursued in Cuba, to-wit, men drawing high salaries from this government, being sent there and ex- acting additional high salaries from tp Cuban people when they ought to} Independent’—everyone enacting laws to tax, govern and control ‘for- sign people’ or enact any law without constitutional authority or restraint— everyone who is opposed to murdering! people by the thousands, demanding abject submission under the specious ; pretense of commerce (to establish the ' wuiskey trade) and for the pretended object of civilizing and Christianizing ‘ such people when it is evident that the | real purpose is to send them governors, judges, marshals, commissioners, at- torneys and other officers, ad. lib., to plunder and oppress the people—every man who is in favor of the Initiative and Referendum—every liberty loving citizen of this country who is willing ; or anxious that.every inhabitant of j this earth should enjoy the same lib-, erty that your ancestors ana mine fought to secure for themselves and us, should unite to defeat the Repub- lican party. I forgot to put-in trusts; nor was it necessary. I had already enough charged to “damn” any party. ‘The only hope of the Republicans ,lies in dividing those opposed to their doings. For this. they have labored ; for several years. Hence, I say all; who are striving to deprive other peo- ple, as well as ourselves, of enjoying the fruits of our own labor. Hence, I say the first and principal plank in my political faith is, defeat the Repub- licans. As in war, let the object be to jefeat the enemy. I fail to recognize any good intentions they have, either toward us at home or our species abroad. By us, I mean what some are pleased to call the common people. the |fore them. Common producers—the toiling millions—the .bone and sinew—the supporters, sus- tainers and defenders of our country. “The opponents of reform have so ,| nose, separate the man from his candor. ! Those who choose Bryan cannot hope that he will abandon the policies thought out for him by others. Those who choose Bryan need not expect him to abandon the principles he has thought out for himself. It will be McKinley and an empire; or it will be Bryan and a republic. It an empire resting upon gold is preferred to a republic resting upon gold and silver, then let us begin the erection of the imperial temple—the temple-that shall testify to the correct- ness of European prophecy that gov- ernment of the people, by. the people and for the people shall perish from the earth. , New York Journal: The most im- portant question which the Republican party has to fdce at present is not the planning and planking of a Hanna platform. . It is an easy matter to howl against the trusts without meaning it, and to fill a platform with deceptive cant and rant about the blessings supposed to follow the flag and the splendid pros- perity of our satrapiés. The Republican platform, as we have learned from experience, is built of empty words and broken promises which can be written on a typewriter in fifteen minutes. This does not worry the Republican party. The question which is causing sleepless nights is how to cover up the utter rascality of the administra- tion. It cannot be hidden by a bom- bastic platform. The public cannot be deceived by rosy speeches. Hanna leads the administration like a red ox with a brass ring through its As the ox, McKinley, is irre- sponsible, except within the limits of his rope. It is Hanna first, last and always, and for all the scandal and rascality connived at and covered up the peo- \ple will demand an explanation. Here are a few of the things that voters will do well to make an espe- cial study of between now and elec- tion day: The Alger embalmed beef scandal. The financial collusion between John D. Rockefeller and Secretary Gage. The tariff oppression of the Porto Ricans. The United States army outrages on the Coeur d’Alene miners authorized far left nothing untried to get the | py William McKinley. money question out of the way or so modified that it can be rendered nuga- tory; not, as I believe, for supporting any reform party, but so that in case they are defeated at the election, they still may have a hope of defeating a return to our former system of stable currency, the best we or any nation ever had. No matter how much a plat- form might be modified c~ altered, gold imperial exploiters would vote against reform. “Let us declare for the whole truth and get as much of it as we can and later strive for the balance. “We should not suffer ourselves as reformers to be divided by tribes or technicalities. “If we suffer ourselves to be divided and have as many parties as we have peculiar notions of government and governmental policy and each put up} a candidate for president, we cannot hope ever to accomplish anything. Let us declare for all needed reforms and } get all we can. If we can find out | how the supporters of this administra- | tion would ‘have us vote, let us vote | contrary to that and I think we will} be nearest right. S. S. CANFIELD. “New Rochester, O.” A further idea of‘ the sentiment among old soldiers, in this campaign, | can be obtained from «he following | extract from a letter of H. G. Patter- | son, of St. Johns, Mich., formerly of the Third Michigan Infantry, in re- sponse to an appeal by the Republican candidate for governor, to give‘him his vote in this campaign. Comrade Pat- terson wrote, in concluding a long and ! convincing letter: | “No, my deaz comrade, I cannot | unite with you in this unholy Slliance to destroy the Constitution and the spirit of Washington’s farewell ad- dress, to which I now invite your seri- | ous attention. This is a time when | men line up quickly, when questions of | such grave importanee are placed be- danger makes! common cause. The source of danger | is a Republican administration, and | while you may go along, others will ; not, even the administration cannot hope to carry all its party over the precipice of national destruction. The issues now to be fought over will burn | deeply into the minds and consciences of men, and many who you presume will stay, on account of the g. o. p. brand, will certainly desert your party, like rats from a sinking ship. “IT hope you may stop and meditate on the difference between this Mark Hanna and the party of Lincoln and others we fdught under.’ | Editor Richard L.. Metcalf of the | Omaha World-Herald, in the New} York Journal: In the campaign of 1900 the Demo- cracy will follow a man whose rise | from obscurity to a position of emi- nence has been due to his sincerity, his ability, his firm adherence to truth and his consistent attitude toward | fundamental principles. Against him are arrayed all the forces that operate for class advantage. On all questions but one all men of the Democratic party agree with him. On that one question he represents the sentiment of ninety per cent of the Democrats. Qn that question he stands—as he has stood on all questions—the uncom- promising champion of the truth as he has learned the truth. Men may urge him to yield his convictions, men may plead with him to deal in plati- tudes, but the urging and the plead- ing will be in vain. So far as concerns the Democrats who sincerely advocate the single gold | standard, the choice will lie between McKinley, with whom they agree only on» one question, and Bryan, with whom they disagree on a single ques- tion. The choice will lie between a man of platitudes and a man who says what he means and means what he says, between a man _ whose ear is “tuned to catch the slightest pulsation of a pocketbook” and a man who “lis- tens to the heartbeat of humanity;”. between a man of whose policies none but the trusts can be certain and a man whose principles the world un- derstands. Those who choose McKinley cannot separate the man from his cant. Those who choose Bryan cannot Thefts, murder and mismanagement in the Philippines, Postoffice’ rascality and ment in Cuba. The Hay-Pauncefote treaty by which we are to build an isthmian canal while England commands it. Tattooed and daubed with such a damning record, the Republican party will find its platform a very minor consideration with the people. embezzle- REV. DR. SAMPLE SKINNED HIM. That certain Minneapolis preacher of diluted doctrine who is wont to characterize as “copperheads” and | “traitors” those who do not agree with him politically, stirred up a hornets’ nest with his Decoration day swash bucklerism. To Rey. Dr. S. W. Sam- ple’s criticism in Peoples’ Paper, the “divine” made only indirect reply that he had not time to answer. Dr. Sam- ple points out a few things that the “divine” does have time for, as fol- lows: “He has time to make in his own pulpit under the guise of a Memorial Sunday sermon, a partisan speech to which he will not permit an answer in the same pulpit. “He has time to convey the impres- sion that Anti-Imperialists are copper- heads and traitors, but not time to de- fend that impression at atime and place when and where it can be an- swered as it deserves. “He has time to stigmatize as rebels a people who have never sworn alle- giance to our flag, but to whom our flag now stands for what President | McKinley himself has characterized as criminal aggression. “He has time to make the most er- roneous and unjust statements con- cerning Aguinaldo, the Kossuth of the Philippines. f “He has*time to decry the character of the Boers, and to deny to those conscientious and heroic strugglers against the aggressions of British Im- perialism in South Africa the merit of having furnished in their present warfare any other admirable element | than pluck and dogged resi=tance.” Making the plea for Dr. Shutter that he should not be too severely blamed, Dr. Sample says: - “The trouble with Dr. Shutter is not that he is any more cowardly than most men. “The trouble is not that he is too busy. «He is no busier than we are, no busier than many men who would be more than glad to debate this question of Imperialism with him. i “The ‘trouble is not that he shrinks from notoriety or from conferring it upon his opponent. “The trouble with Dr. Shutter is that he is an Imperialist.” FARM STOCK AND HOME “CHOP FEED.” In heaven there can be no approval of an attempt to force government and laws upon a people unless the govern- ment and laws are fully approved in heaven! We may love the national flag, should love it, but wrong may be done under its folds, for all that. Even the cross of Christ has been perverted to base uses many times. Our much talked-of Monroe doctrine is simply a diplomatic way of saying: “You mind your business and we'll mind ours;” and when we begin to mind the other fellow’s business we repudiate our own doctrine. Senator Depew says we are suffer- ing from an “indigestion of prosperi- ty.” Monopolists, who have hogged prosperity in chunks, are doubtless such sufferers, but the other fellows haven't taken it in doses large enough to hurt. The more one reads United States history the more clearly he sees that this government is now doing precise- ly what the people always protested and fought against, down to about two years ago! Amazing revolution! The Cubans are not surprised at the stealings of ‘alien officials . in their island, they have been accustomed to such things ever since Columbus dis- covered them. And yet the Cubans ungratefully and brazenly ask for self- government, 3 Evidently Meant for Her. She held a letter from her husband’s lodge in her hand. “I wonder if I am justified in open- ing it,’ she mused. “I think I am.
