The crop of black and gray squirrels is extra good this fall and the nimble footed rodents have a hard time to keep soul and Ixidy together. Andrew Cochran has t>egHU work on his new house. The farmers are busy getting their seeding done. for lack of employment, the common sense of the American people will not l>e deceived by appeals to passion, but will perceive clearly what is the truth, namely, that present conditions are largely caused not by the influences against which Mr. Bryan in lurid words declaims, but by fear of the very r#medies which he suggests. It is not a difficult task to show that under present conditions free coinage of silver by the United States alone would result in silver monometallism. Foolish experiments in that direction have already caused the loss of a great part of our gold from circulation. OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN GOl.D. "Such a change of standards, such a readjustment of valpes, not only in the fear which they would excite, but in the actual injury and injustice they would produce, would be the greatest commercial and industrial evil imaginable. It would mean iti the first place the withdrawal of hundreds of millions of foreign capital invested in our industries. Sneer as Mr. Bryan may at our dependence upon foreign gold, the bare tact remains that without it the building of our great railroads the opening of our great farm areas, the developement of our mines, the I building up of our industries, with all the stimulus to prosperity which these have given would have been delayed many years. "One characteristic of political remedies administered and recommended by quack political doctors is that they are alledged to cure all diseases. To every man in distress in any part of the country the demonetization of silver is pointed out as the cause of his misery, and the remoneti/.ation of silver as his remedy. To expect the farmer to accept so great a delusion is to presume upon his intelligence. It is the old familiar law of supply and demand. "However much the prices ol agricultural products have declined, they have not declined more rapidly than the necessities which the farmer buys; nor so rapidly as the freight rates which promote the market for his products. WAO8*EARNERS HAVE MOST TO I'EAR. "A silver standard would work particular injury to wage-earners. The rich and well-to-do can usually take care of themselves. But the man who has a vital interest in every day's wages, whose family depends upon the wages for its bread and meat, is the person first to feel the injury and last to feel any possible benefit Iroiii an inflation of the currency. TO PRESERVE THE NATIONAL HONOR. "Against such threatened calamities we have met as Democrats and as patriots to protest. Our purpose is too serious to permit differences on minor matters or personal jealousies to divide our councils or weaken our influence. Renouncing as undemocratic the work of the party organization at Chicago, let us be true to every Democratic instinct at Indiauopalis. 4,J,et no man say that at this convention any false note of Democracy was sounded. We stand for all that should inspire good citizenship, for honest money, enforcement of law and order, respect tor aut1 rity, the preservation of the national credit, the just payment of debts, the dignity and welfare of labor. The prosperity and fair name of America. "United ill such a cause we can go forward with the American flag as our banner and the words 'National Democrats' inscribed on its folds. We know no sectional issue or interest. We stand behind the broad shield of patriotism and in that sign we shall conquer. (Tremendous cheering.

Local aiul Personal News From a Nice Philadelphia K«c«ir«l 1 I he New \ork l ivening Post has drawn a parallel between the utterances of Candidate llrv.au ami those of the half-forgotten agitator, Dennis Kearney, which is certainly close enough tolu- striking a nil to indicate that they liave graduated from the same school of demagogy. This Kearney, in the summer of 187S, came I!astto "the enemy's country" and in a speech in Hoston denounced "the murdering monopolists who are day by day grinding the workingmen in the Mast " j Again, in the same season, in a speech at Faneuil Hall, Boston, he asked: 4 * What means this outpouring of people?" And | he answered that the workingmen were arising "to take charge of their own affairs." Again, a little later, in a speech in 1'nion Square, New York, he asked : "\\ hat became of the gold of the country in the times of war? Oh, it lowered its cowardly head. Greenbacks were called into requisition, and now why discard greenbacks iti times of peace?" These extracts suffice to show how closely the balderdash of the Platte has followed the wild-eyed rant of the Sand Lots in its appeals to ignorance, to class feeling and to sectionalism; and they suggest at the same time, as a natural conclusion, that the voters of the country who were intelligent enough in 1SS0 to reject Keame vism will not be less intelligent wher. they shall come to deal with llryanistu in F.S96.

HavrillaaltbeClty Meat Market, P»nnutawner, Pa., via: One counter aoalea, J m?f n?rr*y Ml"* He (Jives Hin Opinion tf Bryan and the Chicago Platform. In his opening speech at the Indianapolis Convention, Ex-Covernor Flower, of New York, said: "This gathering is notice to the world that the Democratic party has not yet surrendered to populism and anarchy. "By our presence here we emphasize the genuine character of our Democracy and demonstrate the patriotic nature of our partisanship. There have been numerous instances in political history where, in the name of party loyalty, men have justified their non-support of party platforms or candidates, and in many of such cases has the movement failed because, when analyzed, its iuspring influence was found to be nothing higher than a desire to avenge disappointed ambitions or to overthrow a political organization.NO HOPE OE POLITICAL REWARD. 1"No such sordid motive can be charged against this gathering. No Democru ] here sought honors from those who j framed the Chicago platform. Kvery I Democrat here has only political humiliation to expect in the event of the sue- I cess of the Chicago ticket. No Democrat ! honored here by being made the candi- II date of this convention can look forward with anv reasonable hope to an election. None of us who help to nominate him can | expect to be participants in any distribuj tion of political fovors. I "We are here because we love the I Democratic party and because we love I our country. That is the inspiration , which has drawn us together and encourages our action. That is the fact I which evidences our sincerity and makes ! our cause strong with the people. (Ap- I plause.) "Dear to me are the teachings of those | great Democrats, Jeffesson, Jackson and Tilden, who, if alive to-day, would stand with us for party and public honor. And because I love my party and my country I am here to do what I can to shield them from dangerous attack. CHEEKS FOR PRESIDENT CUCVEI,ANI>. "The Populist convention at Chicago did not realize aspersions cast by them would in the future add lustre to the object of their approbiuui. Long after the festering sores shall have healed and shall have passed into history as an incident as grotesque as Coxy's march to Washington there will stand out with the other ioreniost leaders of Democracy the name of the man they now vilify—(.rover Cleveland. (Tremendous applause.) "The danger of the Chicago platform lies not alone nor chiefly in its delegation for a financial policy which would be ruinous. The danger lies in the revolutionary influence which controlled the convention and animated its platform. When men led on by ambitious politicians, overturn party precedents and pack a convention to secure an effective majority, then by aid oi that majority raise aloft the incendiary banner of the poor against the rich, attack the integrity of the Supreme Court, threaten the subversion of national institutions and the indirect perversion of constitutional guarantees,incite disrespect to law and authority, I suggest and in substance recommend the repudiation of national and private debts, and reject by intended implication the fundamental principle of Democracy, that that government governs best which governs least, then it is time not only for Democrats to forsake that motely and un- American gathering, to reject that un- Demoeratie and un-American denounciation of doctrines, and to join, in such manner as may seem best, with all patriots who cherish their country's honor and wish to protect the welfare of its people. (Prolonged cheering.) "The real issue of this campaign is an issue of patriotism. In this election the issues around which the battle is raging involve the integrity of our institutions and the soundness of our national honor, and when we have stirred that deep well of sentiment ordinary party differences disappear, all good citizens stand shoulder to shoulder against those who would defile the American name and undermine the walls of her political structure BRYAN A WORI)-JUfiOI.KR. "Not quite so radical in bis views, perhaps os Altgeld or Tillman, not quite so frank as Tom Watson, Mr. Itryan is nevertheless a fit representative of the revolutionary forces behind him—ambi- ambitious, unsteady and unsafe. There is nothing in his career or in his present utterances to encourage the hope that if elected he would rise above his surroundings or stay the hand which threatens to destroy ana pervert. An untried man, a demagogue, a word-juggler, he perhaps well represents the restless moo from which he rose, and with characteristic recklessness does not hesitate to appeal to base human passi ons in order to attract votes. "Even if I believed that free coinage of silver by the United States independently and alone would, under proper conditions, restore bimetallism, I could not bring himself to intrust so delicate and important an undertaking to men of Bryan's inexperience or associations. We believe that Mr. Bryan's arguments for free silver are fallacious ana demagogic, but we oppose his candidacy not chiefly because ne favors free coinage, but because his advocacy of that policy is but a feature of his support of a set of doctrines which we have been taught to regard as the very opposite of Democratic, and the support of which demonstrates the unfitness of Bryan and his associates for positions of public trust. Let not this fact escape Democrats attention. BRYAN SCATTERING FIREBRANDS. "The revolutionary spirit which forced Bryan's nomination is manifest in hia speeches now being delivered through the country. "From the rear end of cars he haa been flinging out social and political fire-brands among the people. He appeals- to the base instincts of the ignorant or to the misery of the distressed. Though some men succeed and many fail this Is the lot of lift, and no candidate for the Presidency haa ever dared before to use this All Work Stopped.

Edward J. Phelps, ex-minister to Kuglaud, to the Hon. G. G. Benedict. After stating his view of the issues and of the Chicago platform and the candidates, he concludes thus: With a man who ia content to place his party, right or wrong, above his country I cannot reason, for we have no ideaa in common. Let no man be afraid to be right on this question, for it is the right that will triumph in the end, whether it reform the party or destroys it. I shall, therefore vote for McKinley. I am not a Republican and I never shall be. I do not believe in protection and I shall never be converted to it. But in the throes of a deadly malady I cannot afford lo reject the only phyajcian who is in a situation to help me because his political opinions are different from mine or even because I think there are better physiciaus than he, if thejr could only be had in time. I shall go farther, and shall vote at the Septeinbet election for the Republican c—dtdale far governor.
