"Hit idiom in urging the member of lit party in the Senate to rote for tbe ratification of that treaty, and bi lan fuage in juititi-atiou convict bim be yond doubt, to .iy the leat. of duplicity. That treaty provided f jr the payment of f 20,0 si.rtM to Spain for the Philippine, tbe United State agreeing to certain tipulation. the performance of which require ten year from tbe date of the ratification of tbe treaty. A fight bad occurred between the American aoldiers and tbe Filipino two dayt before the treaty was ratified: and tbat treaty con taint the following aection: The civil rights and political Matin of the native Inhabitant of the territory herein ceded to the United Statet shall be determined fcy Congrent. "All of this Mr. Bryan knew, yet he poses a the champion or the ratification that spawned imperialUm as well as the champion anti-Itnperialint. "4. The Kansas City platform charac terizes the Philippine war at 'a war of criminal aggrewiion.' Mr. Bryan running open that platform said In substance at Indianapolis: 'If elected I'reaident. mr fimt act after Inauguration will be to con vene Congress In extraordinary session and give to tbe Filipinos a stable and in- dependent government. "If Mr. Bryan la a friend of the Amer ican soldier, at well as a friend to the J-iIipino, how can be be consistent in the indorsement of that clause of bit iilatforra knowing, as he does, that It can kave no other effect than tbe encourage ment of the latter to fight 00 till after November C? "He may be able to reconcile It with lis superabundant lore for humanity, es pecially the Democratic portion of It, on the theory tbat It puU him and them In a better position to wage a successful war against Imperialism than if It was eot In the platform. "Tbe Democratic party has the bold ef frontery to talk about 'the consent of tbe governed,' when they are tbe only party Jn the United States tbat bag been and Is guilty of governing people without 1 their consent, and not long glnce believed In the divine right of one man to own another. "Had it not been for the transfusion Of oxidized I'opuliat blood Into the veins of the Democratic party In ISIKi the 'old scminiKcence' would have censed cheating the undertaker, and a sandstone slab would now be marking the spot of its everlasting borne. Its death Is prereijul lite to any political reform. It Is the veritable dog In the manger. It stands to-day as It has always stood, asinlnely gnd Btubbornly across the pathway of progress. "The party with which I have been Identified for nearly twenty-fire years has eommitted gulcide, and I am, metaphor- occasion to in the past, and in the future dominate any emergency? We have a population of eighty mill ion of people: the country terms with young men full of life, hope and ambi tion. Why not give the young men a chance to develop our newly acquired poeioo, and build up a country rival ing in grandeur aud patriotism our own United State? I tay by all mean hold 00 to all that rightfully belong to u. If tbe great counlry west of the Itocky Mountain was tilled with wild Indians at tbe present moment, bow long would it take u to suppress tbem and make them respect our law and our Conti tution? The tame thing applies to the 1'aillppine aud any other country that may fall Into our band by the province of peace or war. It, la an insult to tbe American peo ple and to our flag even to suggest that we abandon the people we have released from bondage, or, what would I more disgraceful, that we nhould offer to sell tbem to the higheat bidder. I Such a proposition place the American people In the same category with th Chinese, w ho have neither patriotism nor a foreign policy, and are in eonscinen' utilised as doormat by the power of the world. This is too great a question to be con sidered as a mere matter of dollars a cents. Our people want their rights pro tected; tuey win not figure on the cost, Bring It down to local government In the case of street cleaning the cry Is. "We want clean streets," regardless of the cost. Tbey demand them as their right. Just so with our possessions the people want the properties acquired by war protected. They will pay for a Handing army, a powerful nary, and the protection of our flag the world over re gardless of tny monetary consideration They haTe proved tbelr willingness to sacrifice their blood for the honor of their country and their flag! and when the question Is brought to an Issue they will arise at one man and demand ex paniloo as s citizen 1 sacred right!

(Continued from first column.) (Continued at bottom of second columjij ically speaking, a politn-nl orphan. As an American citizen I elnim the rln'tit to do my own thinking and to cast my ballot for the right as I conceive it to lie. I am not In accord with the It thlimn party on the finance question. In think Ing that other people are mistaken have on all questions thought that V, loo be ing human, was liable to err. "I bare never claimed that the kind of money which should be coined nnd used by the people of the United States Is specified in the 'Bill of Rights,' but U a question of expediency. The gold stand ard has been adopted and Is on trial. If It proves to be the best for ua. well and good. If not, our only appeal I to the people. I consider tbat question set tled for tbe time being. "It therefore becomes me, as an Amer ican citizen, to put my vote where I think, all things considered, It will do the most good. I shall therefore support the party of emancipation and progress. "Who dare say that tbe Inhabitants of Hawaii and the territory ceded by Spain to the I.'rited States are not on the high road to education and civilization, and even now enjoying a greater degree of freedom than they ever dreamed of while under the domination of Spanish rule and that of Queen Lilinukalani? ' "I'resideut McKiuIey'g sdmlnlstratlon bas received no word of commendation from the Democratic party for its exalt ed statesmanship In our critical compli cation with China. For that, If for noth ing more, he deserves the everlasting gratitude of all true Americans." and iiiinlio.l. we have in apite of dan gen, in every department of human rf fort and industry hi otic land. l-rongM forth wonderful resource and aebleird Wonderful results. For agricultural, miueral. minufaetor ing and commcreial advantage end promise, our eeii.n ataiidi a the fav ored land of the world; and our domestic and .vial ataudar.li and ideal are of the best and hiithest. With our bisJory ia the past and latest present, from our immediate standpoint, and with our bright outlook, what we want nust i peace and tabildy In our public affair. Aud Ihia ia tbe want of our w hole country. Un-ertaiuty in our ataodard of a!ue, duplicity in our obligation, want of char acter in our public men. and mere strife for party supremacy and p-.il in our election, niu.t, each and all, point the way to general confusion and ruin. Un der such condition our best hoe and promises mar mine to nothing. That's tbe leon of bi-tory. A between the present adinini.tratlon and a possible Bryan administration, I ran hardly see how a thoughtful and re sponsible man ran hesitate. Those of ua who atill cherish old sectional aniiuosi'les bare but one old idea, that uf nppuitio to Republicanism, and they go f.ir Bry an. On the other band, men of business and enterprise, responsible and thought ful, are almost unanimous against him. To me, Mr. McKlnb y represent, large ly, stability in general management, and improving financ ial condition and sound principles. He i trying to do hi duty. Under his administration our country bus encountered problem and ditllcultiea uf immense importance. The Spanish war was against his will. Both parti. 1 rush ed Into it and he could not withstand them. But In that our country, under tbe guidance of himself and hi cabinet organized great army, aud, by the fa vor of bearen, achieved a speedy and overwhelming triumph orer a great etn pire, to tbe admiration of the world. W were at once approved as a great power among nations. Cuban and Filipino eu tanglement are unhappy rouseiiueoct-s. Tbey can be settled ouly by experiment snd in time. The Chinese difficulties hsve been man aged with temperance and wiadom aud general credit. Our financial matters are progressing: wituotit panic or trouble. Time and e perienc will cure them. Free banking alonp will aettle the currency question As things are, it is plain wUdoin to let well enough alone. Our case cullt for temperance. A to Imperialism, that Is nothing but a party cry. We huve ten thousand timeg more to fear from the despotism of ir ty leader and the demoralizing men 11 a and method of Tammany and the uiluor -lubs throughout the country, and Dolit ical machinery generally, than from the enlargement or expansion or exertion of tlie strong arm of our government fol lowing and protecting the enterprise of our citizen. In .Mr. Bryan I can only recognize the champion of change, the leader of the outs against the Ins, the mouthpiece of raiiii-rinuers, me head center of malcon tents, the mirror and kodak of every phase of politics and fanaticism, an nulla rubber man, and un infant phenomenon. in ins ist canvass he spent six montha in scattering heresies and kindling soclnl antagonisms, and feeding envy, hatred, malice and all unebaritiibleness. I regard bltn as a very apostle of con. fusion. He has covered up free silver with which lie was Identified. I,,., .. i.' did not M-crn to take. What el; ho Im reserved in his pandoras box-no one knows. I am no Republican. I claim my right to think for myself, and own my respon sihility to vote for the best Interests of tbe commonwealth. And I think the safety of our country depends on every man claiming tbat right and owning that responsibility. JOHN H. WILLIAMS Richmond, Vt., Aug. 20, 11)00, !'.
