"Au honest dollar worth 100 ccuts
everywhere cannot be coined out of
33 cents' worth of silver, plus a legis
lative fiat."Unrret A. Hobart in
His Speech of Acceptance.
The Democratic Nominee.
On Saturday, somewhat hastily, we
F poke of William J. Bryan, Democracy's
new Moses, us a "blatherskite." Upon
additional Information and reflection,
we withdraw that word, first, because
It 1 Inaccurate and secondly because
It is desirable to avoid, so far as pos
sible, in the approaching campaign, a
resort to personalities'.
The Standard dictionary defines a
"blatherskite" to mean "a wordy, blus
tering, noisy fellow." Mr. Bryan Is
wordy to an unusutil :Vgree but prob
atly ri.t rtore biilt'.'rtng or noisy than
any other av'erage young man with a
rare gift of gal) and an Imagination
prone to Like fire at Inadequate provo
cation. In fact, ko far as the news
papers have exploited nla personal
achievements and characteristics, he
appeals to be quite an admirable young;
gentleman apart from his chaotic poli
tics, and one who, had he been reared
amid more rational and conservative
surroundings, would no doubt today be
one of the most eloquent and enthus
iastic supporters of McKinley, Protec
tion and Kound Money. He Is obviously
deficient In judgment and lacking In
that capacity for broad and liberal
view of facts and men which comes
from long experience In dealing with
teat issues. He la evidently addicted
to the dangerous habit of Jumping
from limited premises to rah and far
fetched conclusions. But we cannot
with any fairness deny to him the
credit of sincftltv. There Is a flavor
and a thrill to his oratory which con
vince us that he Imagines he mean all
he says and believes It, at the time. It
will be remembered that many cele
brated men have had Just ouch charac
teristics of unconscious self-deception.
Munchausen told his biggest whoppers
with the most solemn honesty and ear
neatness. Tartarln of Tarascon never
for an Instant doubted that he had done
all the fabulous things of which he was
wont to boast. And so. In Mr. Bryan's
case, we suppose he actually deludes
himself with the notion that the men of
wealth In this country have secretly
conspired to squeex the poor by mesne
of the gold standard; and In the fretisy
of this delusion falls to account for the
fact that under the sold fandard, un.
til Interrupted by the recent epidemic
of Democratlo "tarlS reform," the
United State achieved not only Its
greatest as "eg ate prosperity but also
Its largest per capita, circulation,
wage, and wealth.
But It It be un'alr to tp ek of Mr.
Bryan as a "blatherskite," u will be
scrupulously Just to allude to bim aa a
phenomenally eloquent and therefore
uncommonly dangerous enthusiast who
coats with plausibility the grossest er
rors. The peculiar aptitude which he
has for dressing his erratic thoughts In
words that seem like the inspired out
pourings of great genius) renders hint
an exceptionally unsafe cltlsen of the
republic. Our government stands in
little hazard from hostile Invasion by a
foreign foe; but by reason of its broad
suffrage It stands In serious menace
from mistaken political leadership. And
the more gifted and captivating the
man who misleads the people, the
greater Is the people's peril.
Fortunately, 'four months) separate
ub from election day; and In that time
the people will take pause for careful
and patriotic reflection.
With a few scattering exceptions,
every Democratic newspaper of promin
ence east of the Allegheny mountains
has refused to ewallo.v the Chicago
platform. If newspapers reflect public
sentiment, this ought to be an Import
ant sign.
"The money of the United States,
and every kind or form of it, whether
of paper, silver or gold, must he ns
good as the best in the world. It must
not only bo current at its full face
value at home, but it must be counted
nt pur in any and every commercial
center ol'the globe. The dollar paid
to the farmer, the wage-earner and
the pensioner must continue forever
equal in purchasing and debt-paying
power to the dollar paid to any gov
ernment creditor."--M'Kinlcy in His
Speech of Acceptance.
Shipbuilder Sewall's presence on the
ticket is explained by the fact that It
will sail up Salt creek.
An Early Guess.
At this early stage of the campaign,
estimates of the November vote are
merely guesses, more or less colored by
hope or fear. The monetary iHsue,
which now serns uppermost, is a new
one, In the partisan sense, and conse
quently there is nothing whatever in
the election statistics of the past to
guide one to the formation of a reliable
opinion. At the same time, certain
general probabilltea obtain, and we
think a fair interpretation of them at
this time will give the electoral vote of
the following Btates to McKinley with
out any reasonable doubt:
Delaware 3 Masachusetts 13
Connecticut li Ohio 23
Iowa V. Oregon 4
Illinois 24 Pennsylvania .... 82
Indiana 15 Rhode Island 4
Maine tl South Dakota .... 4
Maryland 8 Vermont 4
Minnesota 91
Wisconsin 12
Total 232
New Hampshire ..
New Jersey
New York ..
Inasmuch as this is eight votes more
than amajorltyof the next electoral col
lege it Is scarcely necessary to proceed
with the tabulation; but as a matter of
curiosity we will give below the list of
states seemingly certain at the present
writing, to go for llryan:
Alabama 11 Nevada 3
Arkansas 8 North Carolina ... 11
Colorado 4 North Dakota .... 3
Florida 4 South Carolina ... 9
Georgia 13 Texas 15
Idaho 3 I tuh 3
Louisiana 8, Virginia 12
Mississippi 9 Wyoming 3
Missouri 17: -
Montana 3 Total 147
NebrasKa 8
Here follow the states In which there
seems to be a prospect of sharp fight
ing, with the chances too nearly even
yet to be confidently estimated:
California
Kansas ....
Kentucky .
Michigan. ,
Tennessee.
Washington 4
West Virginia .... 6
Total 08
It will be seen that if the silver Dem
ocrats carry all of these seven doubt
ful states they will yet lack 17 votes of
a majority. If, however, those states
shall vote next fall as they voted two
years ago, the sllverltes will carry only
one of them, Kentucky, and the align
ment of forces In the electoral college
would stand: McKinley, 287; Bryan, 160.
It is by no means Improbable that Mc
Kinley will carry tho entire seven,
which would give him an even 300 elec
toral votes to 147 for Bryan.
A good deal depends, however, upon
tho developments of the next month.
If the Eastern Democracy shall split
the sound money strength of the coun
try by nominating a third candidate,
and alsolf the silver erase shall continue
to take hold of unthinking people at the
ratio of Its growth for the past six
weeks, the foregoing estimates may
have to be revised. We do not think,
however, that McKinley stands In any
serious danger of defeat, although It
would be exceedingly Imprudent were
Republicans to rest on their arms.
Ever citizen of Scranton who dis
believes in the anarchistic Chicago
platform should manifest the same by
attending tomorrow evening's McKin
ley ratification.
Five Necessary Reforms.
At this time of legislative caucuses
and conventions It Is well to remember
that the next Pennsylvania legislature
will have placed before It for considera
tion a number of Important measures
looking to the correction of notorious
political abuses. Among the proposi
tions which the legislature to be elected
next November will be asked to enact
Into law are the following:
First-Civil service reform In the state
and municipal governments and In
all counties containing a population of
150,000 or over. In other words, the es
tablishment of the public service In
subordinate positions upon the merit
system and the removal of It from
partisan or factional politics.
Second Personal payment of poll tax,
to be secured by the enactment of a law
which shall In distinct terms make It
unlawful for chairmen of political com
mltUs or others to pay the poll tax of
any citizen unless In possession of a
separate written order from said cltl
sen. '
Third forbidding the compulsory
assessment of office holders. The pro
posed act makes It unlawful for any
representative of a political organisa
tion to collect funds for political pur
poses from any state, county or muni
cipal office holder, and It Is provided
that whoever violates the provisions
of the law shall be suitably punished.
Any man who wants to contribute to
ward the expense of his party organiza
tion will be at liberty to do so, but he
who declines will be In no danger.
Fourth Forbidding pernicious parti
san activity by public officers and mak
ing it unlawful for any office-holder to
attend a political convention as a dele
gate. Fifth The publication of an itemised
and detailed statement of expenditures
by candidates, chairmen, of political
committees, members of said commit
tees, agents of candidates, or others,
whether at the primaries or at the gen
era) elections.
These reforms are necessary. They
are demanded by Intelligent public sen
timent everywhere. They would per
haps not be followed by the mlllenium
in politics, but they would at least be
fteps In the right direction and would
stigmatize as Illegal many practices
which now obtain mainly because there
is no statute to prevent them. The en
actment of these propositions into law
would give good citizenship tools with
which to work for bettered civic con
ditions. Consequently honest electors
should everywhere be on the alert to
secure such a representation In the
next state legislature as will possess
the intelligence, character and determi
nation to put the foregoing propositions
into stiff and stringent law.
If the New York Sun mere honest In
Its politics it wouldlosenotlmelnapolo
glzlng to Major McKinley for the shab
by manner In which it treated him only
a few weeks ago.
-----
On the 4th day of next November Mr.
William Jennings Bryan will not only
be older than he is today but he will
also know more.
The sound money Democrats who
talk of nominating a third ticket-should
not forget that that would be Just
what Bryan and Sewoll deBlre.
The objection to the McLean "barl"
seems to have been that It refused to
gun ran tee an unlimited tap.
Sibley couldn't have first place and
hence he wouldn't play at all.
HOW BRYAN WON.
The most picturesque and vivid descrip
tions of the proceedings of the St. Lor is
and Chicago conventions, nnd withal the
must admirable as specimens of accom
plished Journalism thut have recently ap
peared In any newspaper, so far as we
know, have been the telegruphlc letters
supplied to tho Washington Post by Its
alert "Capitol man." Harry L. West. Mr.
West thought nothing of sending nightly
u.OW words of matter that was not only us
newsy as could be found, but also dressed
in language lit to set before a high court
of rhetoricians. Mr. West's description
of Bryan's great speech Is a good speci
men of his skill at fluent narrative writ
ing and one of sufficient interest still to
warrant repetition. We quote part of it
below:
II II II
"All that had gone before was as a
placid millpond to a surging sea compared
to what was to come. The hour and the
man were about to combine, and William
Jennings Bryan, of Nebraska, was his
name. The country for some time past
has known of Bryan. He rose to the sur
fuce in the political cyclone of 1S92, buoyed
by a genial presenco, tactful ways, and a
real and genuine talent for oratory.
Smooth of face and equally smooth in
method, Mr. Bryan has managed since his
first entrance into political life to insinu
ate himself Into popular favor, and be
knows wall how to occupy the center of
the stage. His dramatic and theatrical
entrance into the hall yesterday was but
part of a well-laid plan to stampede the
convention for him, and this programme
was carried out today to Its fullest devel
opment. There is no doubt that however
much of the demonstrative welcome
which greeted him as he appeared upon the
platform might have been manufactured
for the occasion, he proved himself worthy
of it. The opportunity was his, and he
fitted the opportunity. He held all the
trump cards of the pack. He was Inspired
with the possibilities which the occasion
meant for his future, he knew his sub
ject, ho had the popular side of the con
troversy, he felt himself among friends.
Combined with this, he had the rhythm of
language, grace of oratory, and plctur
esqueness of presence.
II II II
"Certain it Is that his speech was the
only one of the whole convention to thrill,
electrify, stir, and sway the throng. Ha
struck fire with every word. Earnest us
Savonarola, eloquent as Ingersoll. burning
with ilery conviction, able enough to em
phasize the points which would stick like
burrs, artfully modulating his musical
voice until it pluyed like the wind upon
acallan strings, he stimulated and swelled
the enthusiasm until the great audience
was absolutely under his persuasive, yet
powerful domination. Of his speech It Is
enough to say that demagogic and full of
sophistry as it was, it suited the senti
ment and temper of his audience, and near,
ly every sentence was wildly cheered. His
tribute to the farmer, his plea for consid
eration for the wage-earner, his sentence
that while protection had slain its thou
sands, the gold standard had slain its tens
of thousands his dramatic appeal for the
coming of a second Andrew Jackson to
break down the conspiracy of the banks,
all this was sweet and delicious music to
men Imbued with the fever of revolution.
His assertion that though cities might be
burned they would be built again, while
with farms destroyed grays would grow
In the city streets, cuused the old gray
headed sons of the soil to shout with Joy.
The perorution evidently memorized with
studied cure, flowed from his lips with
syrupy ease. 'You shall not,' he exclaimed
in conclusion, stretching out his arms as
if in benediction and voice trembling with
passionate thrill, 'place a crown of thorns
upon the brow of labor or sacrifice man
kind upon your cross of gold!'
II II II
"The scene which followed beggars de
scription. Words may tell what actually
happened, but words cannot impart the
strange and curious magnetism which
filled the atmosphere. Bedlam broke loose,
delirium reigned supreme. In the spoken
word of the orator thousands of men had
heard the unexpressed sentiments and
hopes of their own inmost souls. The
great mass of humanity threw forth the
fiery lava of Its enthusiasm like Vesuvius
In eruption. The yells were so deafening
that only at Irregular Intervals could the
music of the noisy band be heard, the
stamping of the feet was as the roll ot
thunder among the echoing. Alps, and the
hurricane of sound almost caused the steel
girders of the roof to tremble with its
perceptible volume. Every man In the
vast audience climbed upon his chair and.
Infected by the cyclonic frenzy of the mo
ment, seemed absolutely oblivious to what
he did or what he said. Words cannot
picture the awful tumult but the almost
lunatlcal excitement was shown by the In
cident of one woman, who, standing upon
a chair, shouted like a virago and danced
like a savage. For ten minutes this scene
continued. In the meantime, amid the
crowding mob which clung to his hand,
The Boy Orotar of the Platte' smiled,
half-dazed, as though secnl-intoxlcated at
the stupendous reception accorded. Hill
was forgotten; Altgeld was lost from view,
and Jones and the rest of the senatorial
syndicate were as if they had never been
born."
THE FOLLY OF MADNESS.
From the Commercial-Advertiser.
When the cannon shot of treason
knocked at the gates of Sumter hundreds
of thousands of men forgot that they were
Democrats and remembered that they
were Americana. Now, when all the alien
and abhorrent forces of this cosmopolitan
republic nre banded together for robbery
and riot under the tlcry flag of tho com
mune and the UuJcrdhlp of demagogues
who dl.race the American name when
the once great Democratic party has sold
Itself to anarchy for thirty pieces of silver
and forsaken every tradition and principle
that gave it cohesion .or standing when
not merely the honesty'of our dollars, but
the stability of our institutions, the au
thority of our highest tribunals and the
safeguards of order and society are threat
ened by revolt ns dangerous as the upris
ing of the slave pjwer a third of a century
ago, the sons of the war Democrats of
1801-05 stand facing a duty which they
cannot evade without cowardice nor shirk
without shame.
Talk of an independent sound currency
Democratic ticket Is the folly of very
madness. Such u ticket would fill Alt
geld, Tillman and the variegated mob CTifit
follows thorn with intense delight. The
men who numed It nnd supported It would
be the most efficient allied of unarchy
and repudiation. By dividing the honest
money strength In close states It would
give the free, sliver hordes their only
chance of victory. Placing such a ticket
in the field under existing conditions
would be not merely Imbecility, but
treachery; would undo all thut litis been
gained by the light for honest dollars at
Chicago: would constitute a deliberate, un
pardonable betrayal of every principle for
which the eastern Democrats have con
tended ngalnnt their ruthless nnd Insult
ing opponents. To attempt it is to play
directly into the hands of the foes of
Americnn credit and American govern
ment. It should not be suggested nor
even thought of.

McKlnley's election.
It Is stated that the original silver man
of Scranton expects to have the gold filling
pulled out of his teoth If his ticket is de
feated. Tho success of the silver ticket means a
return to two-tlued steel forks and wooden
