THE POLICY OF THE ADMINISTRATION.
Presldcnt-Elcct IWcKlnlcy Will Antago
nize Trusts and Monopolies—No Turin
Legislation Probable Before
\:i\
Next Election.
Cleveland, O., JS'ov. 21.—Chairman M.
A. Hanna, of the republican national
committcc, liad conference here Fri
day with Kcnl W. i.'eclc, of Chicago, in
which Mr. Uanna outlined the future
policy of the republican organiation
and the McKinley situation. Mr. Honna
also discussed in a confidential manner
the Inst campaign. This interview, ac
cording to Mr. Peek, is as follows:
"The republican party," said Mr. Hanna
to Mr. Peck, "will not havo such a close
call again as It had in the last campaign.
The work of education is to be conducted
strongly from the proBent until the next
presidential election. This will be done
because the other side will work during the
next four years to accomplish much, and
If We do not counteract their efforts they
Will win next time. The policy of the ad
ministration will be In exploitation of the
Ideas that will further advance the strength
of the republican party."
Source at Bryan's Power*
"The one great power for Bryan was the
worktngman. Bryan posed as their friend
and succeeded In getting them practically
In line for him. The tight at the polls was
not so much between gold and silver as It
Was the fight of the working men against
the man they thought was the exponent of
trusts and monopolies. They were led to
believe that McKinley was the candidate
of the trusts and not to mince matters was
my candldato, and that I was the head
center of trusts. The labor leaders here.
Who are friendly to me, tell me that if we
are to be successful again we must counter
act this Impression, and that Is what we
propose to do. We cannot do anything with
the farmers. They have left us, but we can
get tho labor vote, and we shall begin now
to direct It away from Bryan and his party.
Something more than mere assertion that
the republican party Is the friend of the
Working man Is necessary, and national
legislation will be so handled that it will be
tho best educator of the people."
Policy of the Republican Party.
Mr. Hanna said further to Mr. Peck:
"The fight of silver against gold was prac
tically abandoned by the democrats two
weeks before the campaign closed. It will
never again be the main Issue, that Is, sil
ver as a political issue will never cut any
more figure than greenbacks. The one
Idea must be to instill Into the heads of the
men of the cities that republicanism Is
good and better than popocracy. Once let
McKinley be inaugurated president of the
United States and this will be done. I have
no doubt but that the result will be all
we hope. There must be an arrangement
that will strike the people at the right time.
For three years we shall trust to Provl
flence. McKinley will assume a dignified
attitude of antagonism to all trusts and
monopolies. His Inaugural message will
breathe a spirit of abhorrence for tho cen
tralization of such power as Is to-day pos
sessed by the trusts, and then we will ex
pect the understanding of the people to do
the rest for the following three years.
"Four y^ars hence will come the next
presidential election, with the election of
ft congress. Then when the public mind is
attuned to the Idea McKinley is the enemy
Of truBts we shall have a tariff measure in
troduced. This measure will be closely
Identified'with McKinley. On that measure
,We shall make the presidential campaign
Of 1800. On the tariff agitation we shall
rely to win the battle."
Would Have Elected Bryan.
Mr.
Peck inquired about the statement
that had
been published to the effect that
10,000 votes distributed rightly in several
dose
states would have elected Bryan.
-"That statement Is true," said Mr. Hanna.
"Harry
Payne was the first to give utter­
ance to
it, but although It Is true, the fact
equally true that the republican vote In
the
country at large was kept up to Its
normal condition, that is, the republican
percentage of gain more than offset tho
democratic gains."
WIU GO TO WASHINGTON.
Chicago, Nov. 21.—A meeting of the
executive committee of the National

emonies next March and the part which
the league shall take in them. The'
league as a body has never participat
ed in inaugurations, but this time it
|s intended to make a great demonstra
tion of the league's numerical strength
and party pride. President Woodman
Bee, being from Maj. McKinley's state,
|B particularly anxious that the league
shall make a fine showing. It is pro
posed to provide a league escort com
posed of members from different states

Washington Uniformed clubs of the
league in Tennessee, Ohio, New Jersey,
Kentucky, New York, Rhode Island and
Maryland have already applied to the
tecretary for a place in the inaugurnl
parade. It is expected, that 50,000 mem
ben of the league and clubs affiliated
With it can be assembled for the in
augural parade. The league will have
headquarters in Washington during in
auguration week.
K. OF I* FOR FBEE SILVEB.
General Assembly Declares for tho Slx
teen to One Ratio.
Rochester, N. Y., Nov. 21.—The gen
eral assembly of the Knights of Labor
declared on Friday for free silver by
the adoption of an additional clause to
the 17th plank of the declaration sub
Diitted by the committee on law. As
originally framed this plank held that
Interest-bearing bonds, bills of credit
or notes should never be issued by the
government, but that when need arises
the emergency should be met by the is
»ue of legal tender noninterest-bearing
money. To this was added the follow
lug: "And that gold and silver when so
Issued shall be free and unlimited coin
age, at the ratio of sixteen to one, re
gardless of the action of any other na
tion."
A resolution was adopted that tho
general assembly denounce the attempt
•oon to be made to take from the gov
ernment of the people the sovereign
light to issue money and leaving it en'
tlrely under the control of the national
banks, and calls upon the people every
where to watch their representatives in
congress and demand from them such
legislation as will continue the issuance
of government money in preference to
money of national banks or corpora
tions.
NATIONAL DEMOCRATS.
jrhe Leaders Will Endeavor to Keep the
Organization Intact,
Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 21.—Hon. W.
£. £ynum Will go to New Yoirk to-day
nft Yialt mnastl dU» in.the wit ta
confer with various leaders of the na
tional democratic party. It is possible
that after his return a meeting of the
national committee, of which he is
chairman, will be culled for this city or
Chicago. It is the intention to keep the
organization of the national democratic
party intact. The leaders of the na
tional democracy have noted with care
the evident intention of Altgeld, Bryan
and other leuders of the late campaign
to hold the party in line for silver and
all the other planks -of the Chicago
platform, and this gives them an addi
tional incentive for holding their or
ganization intact.
WANT THE DINGLEY BILL.
Boston Wool Dealer: Sign a Petition for
Its I'UBsngo.
Boston, Nov. 21.—The Boston Com
mercial Bulletin has secured the sig
nature, without regard to party, of
every wool house but four in Boston to

petition expresses the belief that unless
the Dingley bill, as a measure of tem
porary relief, is passed by the present
senate at once the -American market
will be flooded with foreign wool and
woolens and business improvement re
tarded by the excessive supply. It is
signed by 53 firms in active business in
Boston.

a personal plea for the commutation of
the sentence of Samuel H. Worden, sen
tenced to -hang for wrecking a train in
Yolo county during the great A. R. U.
strike three years ago. The president
states as a ground for his interest in
the case that, while a resident of New
York state before his elevation to the
presidency, he had formed a great
friendship for Worden's mother, a music
teacher. The governor has

der. The testimony of witnesses

at the penitentiary, is said to be critical,
with only slight chance for recovery
from his injuries.

murder of his wife, Mrs. Emma P.
Kaiser, who was shot and killed on the

THE GREAT FLOOD.
Further Details or Damage and Suffering
In the Northwest.
Seattle, Wash., Nov. 21.—The Chinese
passengers on the Great Northern train
which was tied up between Wellington
mid Madison arrived in Seattle Friday.
Through an interpreter they said that
while on the train they were given two
meals a day for four days, at the end of
which time the food supplies gave out
nnd they were forced to walk seven
miles through snow from five to fifteen
feet deep to a railroad section house,
where they were supplied with three
meals a day.
Owing to the crippled condition of the
Great Northern, Everett & Monte
Cristo railroads there is liable to be a
serious food famine in towns in the
Cascades fiooded distriot. In fact, Mr.
McCarthy, merchant of Sultan City
who is now here for the purpose of pur
chasing supplies, said that it has al
ready begun.
A special dispatch from Snohomish
says: The first party of 200 miners who
left Monte Cristo early this week to
walk out to the lower town, reached
here Thursday. The reason for this
wholesale exodus of miners is a lack of
provisions in the mountain stores.
From the reports of the condition of
the Everett & Monte Cristo railroad, it
is evident that it will be three weeks at
least before a train can reach Monte
Cristo. All the big mines at Silver
ton,
Goat Lake and Monte Cristo, have fol
lowed the example of the Monte Cristo
Mining company, and sent out men
until the railroad could bring in more
provisions. There nre from 300 to to
400 farmers in the Snohomish valley
who are losers from the flood. Their
losses range from a few head of stock to
the loss of their entire personal prop*
erty.
Proven Successful.
Buffalo, N. Y., Nov. 21.—The experi
mental test made by the Buffalo Street
Railway company on two of its lines of
the electric power from the Niagara
Power company has proved so success
ful that the power will be gradually ex
tended to the other lines of the sys
tem.
Did they Merit the Censure?
The Decorah Republfcan takes ex
ception to our critcism of national
bankers and our assertion that "but
few of them but merit a term in the
penitentiary," characterizing the
statement as anarchistic.
Before retractiDg, we propose ex
amining the record the national
bankers of the country have made for
themselves, leaving it to the public
to decide whether our criticism is un
deserved. And here we remark that
of the more than 8000 national banks
we are not cognizant of more than a
dozen that did not acquiesse in the
conspiracy organized by the bankers
of Wall street in the spring of 1893,
for the purpose of collecting the votes
of the national and other banks in
and about Wall-street, upon the
proposition to assail the national
industry of agriculture, commerce,
prosperity and social order of the
American people, the assault to be
engineered by the national bank
presidents of New York, as the swift
est and surest means of coercing con
gress and the couniry into their de
mand for the repeal of the Sherman
silver law.
At this most extraordinary meeting
of bank presidents representing more
than one hundred institutions of the
kind were representatives of N. M.
Rothschilds & Sons of London, of
Speyer & Co., London, and Drexel,
Morgan & Co. The administration
at Washington was represented by
John G. Carlisle, by Conrad N. Jor
dan, sub treasurer of New York,
Chas. S. Pairchild, former secretary
of the treasury, and by Mr. Frenholm,
former co-ntroller of the currency,
And it is proper here to remark that
without exception these men, bank
presidents, as well as the president of
the United States, gave their vote
and voice to the election of McKinley,
alleging as a reason, a fear that Bry
an would not enforce the laws, the
very thing which they feared he
would do, as all were and are crimi
nals against the good and welfare of
their country.
Now we will briefly sumarize the
the result of the national bankers
conspiracy against the business and
prosperity of the country, between
the 27th day of April when this ex
traordinary meeting was held, and
the 30th of December 1893. During
that period of eight months, more
than 10,000 bankruptcies and suspen
sions had taken place, and more than
600 banking institutions and banking
firms had either suspended or been
seriously injured. The total amount
involved in the bankruptcies and
pensions of these firms, companies
and institutions during these eight
months was fully $750,000,000. Dur
ing the same eight months $1,200,000,
000 of railroad property was forced
into the hands of these conspirators
of Wall street as recieven/and looters.
On the first of January 1894, more
than 3,000,000 of men, women and
young persons who were contentedly
at work in shops and factories on the
27th of April 1893, were out of work,
and in great anxiety and distress, and
many of them hungry and suffering.
On the 29th of April 1894, the New
York Tribune said "that labor had
been compelled to sacrifice from its
earnings, in one year, a sum about as
great as the entire national debt cre
ated by the war." It is not possible
to present the whole sum of the evil
these New York national bank assas
sians inflicted upon the people which
was coolly and deliberately planned
for that especial purpose. If the con
spirators who produced these dire
disasters did not deserve the pene
tentiary, then we ask, what class of
anarchists ever did? Regarding as
tbe public do your national bank as
particeps criminis with the national
bankconspirators of Wall street, the
people may' now "laugh at their
calamity, and mook when their fear
oometh."

audiences, among them Master Willie
Connelly with a violin solo little MisB
Shaffer with a vocal solo and Miss
Ruby Schoonover with a highly pleas
ing reoitation, But the newest and
best of the program was reserved to
the last in the good night drill by

caps with lighted candles in hand,
who executed a nice march and thon
two by two grew sleepy and bid the
audience good bye till at last each
candle was extinguished and each
sleepy tot had gone to bed.

The ladies of the Cemetery Im

much like the old Scotch grave digger,
who was about to die and sent for the
minister to say some kind words be
fore he departed. The minister
promptly responded but on his way
was delayed by meetiDg the Beadle,
an august looking Beadle, who was
occupying more than his space of the
highway. "Drunk again Beadle"'
said the minister, and the Beadle
thickly answered "Yes, so ami," The
minister went on his way, and ar
riving at the sick man's bedside, en
quired the trouble, the grave digger
replied, "It was na trouble I could na
ca it that. Its like this, "you see I've
been the grave digger in thi6 parish
for mair than 40 years and during a
that time I hae laid aneath the ground
351 and maun if it could on'.y be the
will o' Providence I might be spared
a little longer that I could just make
it 500."
The entertainment will be one of
the best given in Cresco.
Remember the date, Thanksgiving
evening, November 26th. Everybody
come and make it 500.
