POLITICAL OUTLOOK
McKinley Indorsed in Strong
Terms.
BRYAN'S TRIP TO NEW YORK
He Desires to Be Notified or Ills Nomi
nation "In the Baemy's
Country." .
Tacoma, Aug. 7. Congressman W. H.
Doolittle (Republican) of this city, made
a public statement through the press
today of his political views. He en
dorees McKinley in strong terms and
points out that the Republican platform
is the only one that can bring about the !
adoption of bimetalisni by international
agreement. He says :
"I am for bimetaliam in all truth and
sincerity, by agreement with other na
tions, if that agreement can speedily be
brought about. I am for the use of both
gold and silver as basic money, and if,
after an honest trial, which the platform
of the Republican party pledges, an
agreement cannot be speedily reached
with the other nations, for bimetaliam
I believe the Republican! party will
deem it then to be the duty of the
United States to open our mints to the
coinage of silver and by proper retalia
tory legislation against other countries,
enforce our way and protect ourselves as
suggested in the statement of Thomas
B. Reed, of Maine, published in Fort
nightly Review about two years since."
He says further that the St. Louis
platform is the only one that makes
possible the building of - the Nicaragua
' canal, for the Chicago platform con
demns bond issues in - times of peace,
and one is necessary if the canal be con
structed.

CANNOT SWALLOW SB WALL.
Populists Have no Use for the Man
From Blaine. -
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 7. Thomas E.
Watson opened ' his vice-presidential
campaign here last night wuh an ad
dress of two hours' length, delivered be
fore an audience of 3,000 people in a
rough shed need ior the Moody revival
meetings several months ago. Watson
appealed at the outset for a non-partisan
hearing, declaring that he spoke with
bitterness to none and in behalf of the
men who held the plow, who pulled the
hook, who wielded the hammer. If
God gave him strength, he declared, he
wonld plead the cause of these people
through the pens of the Northern re
porters present, before 05,000,000 of peo
ple in the morning.
"We can stand by Mr. Brvan," said
he. - "He has been with us and fought
for our policies. But ' when we are
asked to swallow Sewall, we beg to to be
execused. We cannot vote for Sewall
because he does not repreeent our plat
form. If we do we My we did not
mean what we said in the platform.
You cannot consistently say this is a
fight of the West and South and go off
to Maine to get a candidate for vice
president. ' This is a movement of ' the
South and West and you must have a
Southerner on your national ticket." .
In conclusion Watson made this sig
nificant statement.
"We are not going to put up a candi
date against Bryan. We are going to
vote for Bryan whether Sewall is with
drawn or not. Let Mr. Jones say what
he likes. Let him insult you if he will.

Georgia Popalisxs. Would Banish the
Saloon. "
.Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 7. The Populist
state convention having perfected or
ganization yesterday and listened to
Watson's address last night, settled
promptly down to business this morning.
The platform indorses the St. Louis
platform and contains the following bar
room plank : ,
"Civilization, to say nothing of relig
ion, has entered upon the judgment of
condemnation against barrooms. Public
conscience revolts at the license system,
which fosters the saloon and generates
its manifold evils in consideration of. a
revenue that pays less than a tithe of
the public burden it entails. It is non
American monopolistic and essentially
immoral." '

Care is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous Burtaces of

its work. The proprjetors have so much

The Tollers' End of It.
New York World, Dem.
The average dividend eaanings of the
railroads is less than 1 per cent. - The
best of them earn about 4 or 5 per cent,
at most.
If, by a lapse to the silver standard,,
their earnings are reduced one-half,
what is to be the fate of their employes?
They will have to pay double for their
necessaries, bnt they cannot expect that
their wages will be doubled, because the
companies that employ them cannot
earn the money to pay more.
Thegripmen on trolley and cable cars,
for example, are paid out of the nickels
received for fare. If tbe value of those
nickels is reduced one-half, will not the
gripmen and conductors be the worst
and most hopeless sufferers? The same
thing applies to the earnings of the
steam railroads and the wages of their
employee. Is it not certain that free
coinage and a lapse to the silver basis
mean first of all impoverishment to the
workingmen?
These are matters for the serious con
sideration of men who earn wages.
A NoTel Spectacle.
Minneapolis Tribune.
William M. Singerly, of the Philadel
phia Record, presents the novel specta
cle of a man running for office and en
deavoring, through his own paper, to de
feat his own election. He is one of the
Democratic presidential electors, and he
says that if elected he would be in honor
bound to vote for Bryan and Sewall, but
he prophecies that there is no danger of
his being elected. His paper is squarely
against free silver and in favor of sound
money. ' -"
