The wolf waa at tha door and nothing but tha free and unlimited coinage of silver could drive it away. Mr. Bryan waa not elected, but the wolf haa gone. Brooklyn Eagle. It stands aa confessed that Bry auisra haa driven democracy out of the field. It has bowed submission to his decrees, turned its back upon ita traditions and abandoned its principle. Having been nominated by . the Populists he must either strangle demooraov or . renounce populism. He chose the former, as sured that his complete supremacy over the party would compel its acquiescence. Bryan's record fer the past four years is his platform and there is no v ay of getting around or above it. It is free silver at 16 to 1, surrender of all outlying pea sessions, abridgment of the powers or the courts, reduction of the army and navy, opposition to capital, de nunciation. 'of the employment of force to quell riots, opposition to la a. :-.'::. aouna nana: currency and to any and every measure of the Republi can party for the betterment of the country. This is Bryaniam, but it is not traditional democracy. .- EFFECT OF OPENING THE TILLS. The Republican National Com mittee sent out blanks to members of the National Association of Man' , tuaciurers'asking them, to furnish : the number of men whom they had employed in each year from 1890 to 1399 .inclusive,, as well as the total amount of wages which they ; had paid during the same years. - There were 200 replies. Tboy showed 'a steady increase in the number of hands employed in the 200 factories cntil the year 1893. There was an immediate drop of 10,000 men in 1894, when they em ployed 90,483 men. . But in 1897 they employed 109,600; in 1898, 131,42 men, and last year 174,645 men. In short, the number of Wage-fa mere employed by these tame 200 factories increased from Latter Day Prophets: Fiom the Albeny Democrat. . "The editor of a Denver ' paper, in Portland this week, savs that Colorado will go republican in' the November election. This man should be taken care of at once. It will not be safe to allow, him to run loose." If there's going to be anv taking care of" going on the system should oe inaugurated at once. A promi nent (?) and of course truthful (? ?) Medford attorney was heard last week prophesying that New York state would go democratic. Kleinhammer-Aedersoa Wedding.
