VOLUME XLIL—NO. 4.
CLEVELAND
SAYS BRYANS’
ELECTION SURE
Former President Inter
viewd by Philadelphia
Times
A PAPER NOTED
FOR UNQUESTIONED
RELIABILITY.
Ex-Presidem Gives His Reasons for
His Faith.
STATEMENT THE COUNTRY WAITED FOR
Cleveland's Admirers Knew Thai He Would
Break Silence-
Says Hollanders in the West M ill Vote
Against McKinley.
REPUBLICAN HOPES ARE EPHEMERAL.
The Elephant Will Wake up Next Wednesday
Morning to Face a Terrific Eandslide
The Whole Country Arrayed for
W. J. Bryan.
The Editor of the Philadelphia
Times, one ul the world s best
newspaper men, whose imprim
aturs is set upon every item
which appears in The 1 imes.
permitted to lie published in uis
paper on Monday an interview
with ex-President Cleveland in
which the former executive pre
dicts the election of William
Jennings Bryan. We believe
that when he sanctioned the
publication of the interview the
editor was assured ol its genuine
ness. He is not the man to be
party to a demegogic scheme.
Not all the denials sworn upon
stacks of bibles. piled as high as
the Himalvas would alter our
conviction but that Mr. Cleveland
gave the annexed statement,
hence the Republicans will waste
wind in denying it or seducing
Mr. Cleveland to swallow his
own words. In the following
interview Mr. Cleveland on the
authority of the Editor says:
“You will see a landslide for
Bryan the morning after election.
Of this I am confident.
“To this Mr. Cleveland's inter
rogator replied that the indica
tions, according to the republican
leader -, were favorable to Mc-
Kinley, but he/juickly retorted:
“Of c( urse they are. That is
policy. What I tell you is my
private opinion”.
“There is no doubt concern
ing the former president’s sin
cerity in his expressed belief,
and when asked what reasons he
had for so thinking he continued :
“ ‘You do not understand the
conditions. There are elements
all over the country at work
which it would be impossible to
draw into line for McKinley.
“In the first place, union labor
is for Bryan. Of recent years
that organization has been a
factor in politics and it certainly
is not favorable to the interests
of capital. The traveling men
are for Bryan. These men, who
are a small army, arc of the opin
ion that the Republican party is
the protector of corporations and
by the amalgamation of indus
trial interests main of them have
b2en thrown out of employment.
In the North-west, in Minnesota,
in Dakota and lowa, there are
many Hollanders. Sympathy
for the Boers, who are their own
flesh and blood, will induce them
to support Bryan. See if I am
not correct.
"I have no desire to be drawn
into any controversy over the re-

sults of the election, but if the
Republican managers honestly
think that President McKinley
will be re-elected it is my opinion
they are mistaken. They do
not know the situ its n.”
FRED HINRICHS AND
ED FRICKE BRING
HOME MUCH GAME.
Fred Hinrichs and Ed. Fricke have
returned from a minting expedition
around Partridge Lake, thirty miles
west of Neenah. The Manitowoc sports
man came home with an abundance of
game. Between the two they shot and
killed 50 red topped ducks, and the tro
phies of the sport have been distributed
among the friends of the two hunters,
who reside in this city.
JAMES \V. WATSON
ENCOURAGED BY
THE OUTLOOK HERE.
James XV. Watson is making a tour
of Manitowoc county, speaking in un i
ons places. He has spoken at Kiel, Cen
terville, Louis Corners and Two Rivers.
Mr. Watson says everywhere he Ims
been he has met voters who are enthusi
astic for the Democratic ticket. He
looks for a decisive victory at the polls
for the Democratic candidates. Since
his advent in the county he is greatly
encouraged.
ARC LIGHTS ON
EIGHTH STREET
NEXT WEEK.
Mayor Rahr has contracted with the
Electric Light company for lighting a
part of Eigth street and Commercial
street with arc lamps. The Mayor says
that Mr. Sclmette has promised t<- have
them burning sometime next week. It
is proposed to place a strong arc light
at each end of the Eigth street bridge,
so that vessels coming into the harbor
may be guided by them. Mr. Rahr is
to ask council for the necessary grant to
do this.
MR. RAHR’i WORD
IS AS GOOD AS
BOND WITH BREWERS.
Ti e mayor slaved that he had sold
two 10,000 bushels of malt by telegraph
to brewers in the suite of Washington.
One of them is located at Olympia and
the other at Seattle Mr Rahr sai l it
was a remarkable achievement to make
two such sales, when neither of the
brewers had seen a sample of the malt.
He says that his new plant will be kept
busy, that he can sell as much malt as
he can manufacture.
BARLEY KING HERE.
11. .1 O'Neil a (iuest of Reinhardt Rahr
of this City.
H J. < I'Neill of Chicago, who for many
years was known as the “Barley King
of America." was in Manitowoc last
Friday the guest of Reinhardt Rahr of
The XVilliam Rahr Sons' Cos. Mr O’Neill
came to Manitowoc in the interest ot
the Anheuser-Busch Brewing associa
tioi.
A BRYAN REPUBLICAN
WRITES THE PILOT WE NEED
ANOTHER PAUL REVERE.
“From the twaddle offered to its read
ers by some alleged newspapers, and a
continuous repetition of it, one would
think like the tares iu the parable, it
takes root in the minds of a verdant
public. A blind partisan, if not venal
press, which lauds every act of a party,
should have little weight with a major
ity of its readers. The danger Lincoln
saw in concentrated wealth is now here
and confronting the republic. The en
ire Republican press of the country is
attempting to befog the people and be
little the only real issue imperialism.
Lincoln. Win. H. Seward. Benjamin
Harrisson. Schurz and a host of other
have sounded a warning. Congressman
Littlefield, Chauncey Depew, McKinley
and others bitterly opposed foreign con
quest. but have lately stultified their
manhood, evidences of gigantic corrup
tion run through the entire course of
the present venal crew at Washington.
“The Illinois Steel Cos. offered to pro
duce armor plate for #260 per ton. But
by jockeying Mr. Cainegio gets it at
#545 per ton. Frank S. Monett attor
ney general of Ohio swore in court that
he was offered #4011.006 to drop the Stan
dard oil caseses before the supreme
court. When he came up for renoinina
tion Mr. Hanna allowed him but three
votes. !)' the people endorse this blood
socking crew the suicide of represents
tive government is at hand. Every Re
publican on the stump this fall should
feel proud of the noble cause he is ad
vocating. Hanna by bribing the Ohio
legislature Isolds a seat in the august
senate. Republicans how do you like
iff BItYAN REPUBLICAN.”
Tllli RfV. ISAAC TORRISON
AM) OSCAR TO RRISON
WILL VOTE FOR BRYAN.
Considerable publicity has Wen given
to the avowal of former Democrats, j
who, renouncing their fealty to an his-j
toric faith, will cast their votes for jiug- j
oism and imperialism. It can I>* said
with justifiable pride that two former
Manitowoc men. one who lias won re
nown in the law and the other has be
come famous in the pulpit, who. hither
to were Republicans, have repudiated
tne unwholesome dogmas ot militarism
and subjugation and will make their
votes effective against Mr. McKinley.
It is reliably understood that Oscar
Torrisou, a lawyer of eminence whose
present home is Chicago and the Rev.
Isaac Torrisou brothers of Thomas
Torrisou will, on November 6. vote for
William Jennings Bryan.

At the time the peas on the (rrnetzniaeh
