PUBLIC 01'LXIO.y.
One of tho most potent factors in the
election of McKinley was Mark Uanna's
sack. The millions uthis couimund hud
been entrusted to him by the wealthy to
defeat Bryan, leaving to his shrewd
judgment tho selection of the mean
Great newspapers and politicians of
prominence by their utterances effect
public opinion, and public opinion ex
premies itself in votes on election day
Mark the hand of Marcus Ilanna. The
loading democratic journals almost with
out exception opposed Bryan, and there
were even democratic politicians who
hud formerly occupied tho foremoBt
rank in the management of tho party,
who mounted the stump for McKinley
Other old-time leaders sulked in their
tents. The gre.it majority of tho capi
talists of the country, regardless of
former political affiliations, were on the
side of McKinley, with all their power
and influence over emyloyes and com
munities. Immediately after the
Chicago convention all this tremendous
combination was turned iifiainst Bryan
It is remarkable that scarcely any of
the highly moral and eminently intel
lectuul gentlemen whoedit tho scholarly
magazines of the East, and till the pro
fessors' chairs in its colleges, omitted
an opportunity to cast abuse and ridicule
at Bryan anil bin party of course in
choice English. Evidently they held
that "the end sanctities the means
Mark Uanna's scheme worked beauti
fully. The feara of tho conservative
democratic voters were aroused, being
convinced that BryaniHin meant chaos
or what not. They turned their
sympathies toward McKinley regardless
of the anarchic,uuscrupulous means that
wtre being used to compass his election .
Thus tho 600,000 democratic majority
and the populist vote of 1,000,000 in 1S92,
disappeared, and enough besides to give
McKinley a majority of nearly 1,000,000.
A largo sack and a man with a "great
head" to handle it, can accomplish
wonders in a presidential campaign, but
if business does not perceptibly grow
better during McKinlcy's term of ollice
it k doubtful whether money enough
could Iks rako I together to again elect
McKinley or any other gold-standard
republican or denio-repiibliean.
Mt'KiNLKY has been elected president
of the United States. We did our best
to prevent this, but weve not able, there
fore, bow to the inevitable, and will en
deavor to make the most of the situa
tion, and ask our readers to do the
same thing. McKinley has promised to
bring about prosperity through the
means of a high tariff. We wish him a
pleasant time with the experiment, and
hope he will lie eminently successful in
his efforts. If he can do anything to
lighten the burdens of the people, and
place this country once more on the
solid rock of prosperity, no paper will
acknowledge it quicker and give him a
more hearty support than the Column.
But we doubt it.
Russia. But that it could take place in
America in a republic where one man
il supposed to be the equal of tho other
is to thinking people exceedingly om
inous. It protends no good to republi
can institutions. It looks to us like a
return to the days when people believed
in the "divine riant of kings" when
the sod upon which a sovereign trod
was considered holy. It betrays a
flunkeyism bowing down to one man
power a resurrection of the idea that
"I am holier than thou." It shows that
the American people are going back on
the sublime truth that "all men are
created equal" that they are becoming
man worshippers that they are willing
to scrape the very earth in the presence
of one they consider better than them
selves. It portends a return to serfdom
and human vassalage which, if not
checked, will one day inaugurate a titled
aristocracy and place a monarch upon
an American throne.
The introduction of this un-American
custom is due to that incarnate tyrant
and infamous labor-crusher Mark
Hanna. It illustrates 'the ideas of tlie
man. It shows what his notions of hu
man rights are. The practice exalts
one man and and degrades another, and
that is the Mark Hanna idea us exempli
fied and illustrated in his dealings with
his fellowmen. Whatever, therefore, be
the result of the election, we pray that
this will be the first and thelast attempt
in this nation of transforming a man
into a god.
To us, the idea is revolting. Who is
this William McKinley that his homo
should be made a shrine, and that he
should be lifted up to be idolized and
worshipped by men ? Who? .simply a
man seeking to become the chief ser
vant of the people. Not their master,
their owner, but their servant. Iu this
country, it is claimed that the people are
the eovereigns the masters the rulers.
What a spectacle, then, to see the sov
ereign people bowing down in adoration
to their would-be servant! The whole
system is the creature of monarchy a
relic of barbarism, and 'should be dis
countenanced at once and forever by
every believer in tho equality of man ,
the piinciple of democracy. Salem
Indrpendsnt.
Tus country hasgiven Major McKinley
carte blanche to carry out his policy,
and it will hold him responsible for the
results. If he intends to betray the
national confidence and to give tho'peo-
ple another Cleveland administration,
he will incur prompt retribution. The
Australian ballot can pull down as well
as set up. It is manifest that something
must be done. We cannot have a con
tinuation of the hard times of the past
three years. Wo cannot have a per
petuation of our present crazy linum nil
system. Mr. McKinley has been intra-
luced to us 08 tho Advance Agent ot
Prosperity. He has promised us good
times, and an international agreement
that will restoro the free use of Bilve r
and gold. The time is near when we
must honor the drafts he has drawn
upon the future. If ho can do it all will
lie well. If not, the issues now tempo
rarily decided in his favor will have to
come up for review four years hence.
Examiner.
Bbvan has been defeated; butlordy,
the scare he gave the goldbugs. Never
was such a vast sum of money spent or
more desierate means used to defeat a
candidate. It is simply wonderful that
the Bryanltes made the showing they
did, considering the immense odds that
were against them . Times.
Thk laboring man now pays $1.15 per
sack for the same flour he could buy
three months ago for 63 cents ;of course,
he has his wages raised in the same proportion.

Tim "national democrats" want to re
organize tho democracy. On what issue?
There is no live iNstie except tho flnanuial
one, and on that they nro diametrically
opposite to the "new democracy." The
ariff has been almost threshed to death.
excepting tho tariff the whilom demo
ratio leaders of the East are in harmony
with the republicans. Unless a new
issue is brought to the surface, over
shadowing the financial one, which will
array the two great parties in opposition,
the democracy cannot "get together."
It is amusing to see the republican
poiiinmlers take tho democrats that
lifted McKinley to their bosom. One
would think from the Ortqon'um that
Messrs. Palmer, Buckner, Whitney and
other eminent gentlemen of democratic
antecedents had joined the republican
party for good and all. Party li nes have
been obliterated.
Thk republican declare thay have
"saved the nation" and claim a monop
oly of patriotism. Pretention are
cheap. The bigots that rousted heretics
for God's sake arrogated to themselves
all the religion and patriotism there were
Before the Chicago convention there
were three parties. Now there are two.
The republican party, composed of the
gold standard republicans and the Cleve
land democrats ; the democratic party,
composed of the democratic nnd
republican free silverites and the popu
lists. It is lest to know where we're at.
in the lienighted ages when they were I
.the power behind tho throne. In ante- "McKisi.ev and Prosperity," was the
l,cllum days the pro-slavery zealots pro- I bait that persuaded the gold-standard
tended they were the patriots per cs- democrats to vote for McKinley and
cellence Iwauso negro tdavery was ; elect him. I Ins promise will not le
recognized in the' Constitution, which j fullnlled if the gol.l pirates are allowed,
the rebellious abolitionist., the fore-
unners of tho republican arty, vowel
was "a covenant with death and a league
ilk hell."
Heboid the promised prosperity,
has arrived, the republican say.
It
as thev have Wen, to loot the national
treasury whenever they w ish.
The "national democrats" are now
talking of reorganizing the democratic
party. This is cheek. From where will
the generals draw their soldiers? Gurd .
