Take the Democratic platform of 1896, commonly known as the "Chica go" platform, extract the Free Silver clause, and you have a pretty fair original for adoption in Chicago in this good year of 1908. And yet to the very men who are building the Republican platform this year the Chicago platform of 1896 was "anarchy." If that platform was anarchy in 1893 it is anarchy today.

Do not they also con I vict themselves of yellow hypocrisy by denouncing the Chicago platform of 1896 with their tongues, and yet crib bing it with their hands? T On the Defensive. Whatever else may be said of the Republican party, its nominees and its policies, it cannot be denied that il into this campaign very much goes on the defensive. It has ignored the fostered the few against the masses, many, and the people will hold it sponsible for present conditions.

It is a grim struggle to the death, in which one candidate lands in the executive mansion and the other on the gallows. Despite the j steadying influence of Uncle Sam, the new republic of Panama is now ex periencing a campaign of the custom ary Latin-American variety, which j promises to develop many bloody j tragedies before the election farce is 1 5 3 6 4 2 at No. j No staged during the first week in July. Every effort is being made by the United States authorities to preserve some semblance of fairness in the elec tion, blit their endeavors are not highly appreciated by either the poli ticians or the voters, who prefer to settle their political disputes in the customary manner. Nor is Panama the only Central American nation whiph is disrupted by internal disputes. The republic of San Salvador is facing a revoluti and President Figuera is in hourty fear of assassination. In Guatemala a veritable reign of terror has been inaugurated by President Cabrera, who is proceeding on the theory that "dead men tell no tales" and is kill ing4lff his political enimles by whole sale. If half of the stories that drift to Panama, relating instances of cru elty and devilish brutality, are true, the history of the Dark Ages and of the inquisition is being reproduced in Not a day a unhappy Guatemala, passes, according to trustworthy refu I gees who have fled to Panama to es cape the wrath of* the bloodthirsty ❖ | and des P° Uc Cabrera, that some one or more of the men suspected of plot ❖ ❖ ting against Cabrera mystefiously ai. appear.
