THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1900.
To the Democratic Voters of Columbia
County.
I desire to thank the democrats of
Columbia comity who stood so loy
ally by us, during the greatest na
tional fight for principals dear to
every true American, that this
country has ever witnessed.
The good results from every dis
tiict in the country indicate that
much individual work was done,
and I desire to take this opportunity
to thank the committeemen for hav
ing done their full duty; and while
the Democratic party has gone down
in defeat Mr. McKinley has not
been re-electe'd in a fashion that can
be a source of pride to him and his
party nor a humiliation to Demo
cracy. The great gains, in the popular
vote, throughout the United States
show that the party of Thomas Jeff
erson still lives and is fast emerging
from its long eclipse, although de
feated, Mr. V. J. Bryan is today
held with greater esteem in the
hearts of his countrymen than any
other living American.
The organization of the county
desires to share the credit ior the
good work with all loyal democrats
wo performed their duty.

County Chairman.

The Philadelphia Inquirer gives
a prominent position to a few
specials " from different sections of
the state, describing a general busi
ness boom since Mckinley's re
election. These items are sent in
by correspondents who get paid by
the column. If they'd tell the truth
they would have nothing to send in,
so they use nianutactured pros
perity specials and get paid for it at
the rate of seven dollars a column.

part
to change or abandon a single one
of its vital principles. On the con
trary, it furnishes a strong reason
lor the continued agitation of Dem
ocratic principles. If the power of
the corporate rings and trusts which
now dominate this government is
ever to be broken and our govern- ,
ment again be put back upon the
constitutional foundation laid by ;
our wise forefathers, it must be i
done by the Democratic party, the
only party which recognizes the
limits set by our constitution. It is
the Democratic party to which that
portion of the misguided masses
which have, for sordid reasons,
joined in riviting the industrial yoke
upon their own shoulders will turn
for relief when experience shall
have taught them as it will the
greivous mistake they have made.
Let every Democrat see that the
partv is kept in condition to respond
when that appeal for help is made.
Most Democrats are rather glad
than otherwise that the Republicans
secured .the control of ths House
along with the Presidency. As
Tom Reed remarked when the
Democrats met with similar success,
"Let the tail go along with the
hide." If the Democrats had elected
a majority of the next House, the
Republicans would have made use
of that control to sneak out 'of re
sponsibility for everything that was
done or left undone during the first
two years of Mr. McKinley 's second
term. With the President, the
Senate and the House, they must
accept full responsibility both for
what is done and what it left
undone, which cannot fail to be
benefical to the Democratic party
in the end. Watchfulness and
aggressiveness should be the Dem
ocratic watch words from this time
on, until the people again place it
in control of the government.
Hon. A. S. Dulin, of N. J., who
was a visitor at Democratic Con
gressional Headquarters since the
election, says nr-the Republicans
carried that state by the infamous
Dudley blocks of five system by
which Intiianna was carried for
Harrison the year he was elected,
only they arranged the voters in
blocks of ten. Mr. Dulin called
attention to the fact that the Demo
crats held their own in the Con
gressional districts of New Jersey.
Oi
One of the first official acts of the
Administration after it was known
that Mr. McKinley was re-elected
was to ask Great Britain, through
the Department of State, to drive
the Filipino junta out of Hong
Kong, which is British Territory.
There is no doubt that the request
will be complied with, as was a
similar request concerning the
Spanish officer who went from
Washington to Canada at the open
ing of the war with Spain, and
sought to conduct a Spanish Secret
Information Bureau there. It is
evident that this thing had all been
fixed up befoie the election, but for
llnod't nils cure llvor lll the nmilrrltHtliiit Mid

some reason Mr. McKinley was
afraid to have it known before the
voting. As the request is a perfectly
natural one, the onlv reason for any
concealment in connection therewith
seems to lie in the adage "con
science makes cowards" etc.
Representative Sharp, of Miss.,
who is now in Washington, calls
attention to the fact that if the gains
made by Mr. Bryan in the East
could have been transferred to some
of the close states the result would
have been different. Tno more the
popular vote is studied the plainer
it becomes that there is no reason
for Democrats to become dis
couraged over the future.
As soon as they were sure that
Mr. McKinley was re-elected the
Republicans began the squabble
over the official plums of the next
Administration, and it is likely to
grow hotter and hotter until the
distribution is made. At least four
members of the Cabinet are slated
for voluntary retirement. Attorney
General Griggs, whose extensive
tsust practice was said to be worth
something like $100,000 a year to
him when he resigned the govern
orship of New Jersey to enter the
Cabinet because of the relations
between him and the late Vice
President Hobart, is anxious to quit
public life and get rich ; Secretary
Long, who already has a fortune,
wishes to retire and take things
easy ; Postmaster General Smith is
said to prefer returning to his edi
torial desk to remaining in public
life, and Secretary Hay has 'not
enjoyed his public position since he
was so harshly and generally criti
cized for being over-friendly with
England end the English. Secre
taries Gage, Hitchcock, and Wilson,
will, according to current gossip,
be members of the new cabinet.
Perry Heath, who so strongly en
dorsed Neeley, the Cuban Tostal
Fund thief, and who resigned the
position of First Assistant Post
master G.neral, to become Secretary
of the Republican National Com
mittee and Hanna's personal rep
resentative in the management ot
the campaign, is said to have told
friends that he would hi Postmaster
General under the second McKinley
Administration, unless he concluded

VITALITY OF TALIS
Ihe first question in the minus of intelligent people I
nowadays, who have money to spend is: If I trade at a
such and such a store can I feel assured that for every 5j
dollar spent, I have received in exchange a full, round 2
honest dollars worth of merchandise ? S
To this question this store answers emphatically, yes ! g
One of the vital principles of, this business is value y;
giving. We bank on the honesty of our merchandise. i
You may bank on receiving; an honest equivalent for I
your money every time. If wrongs creep in we'll right
them lor you.
