A Dignifled Campaign. Even the headlong, reckless repudia- tioniets, who will all be either practically * or formally united on the Chicago ticket In the end, admit masterclass-lime campaign of education. They know that they must meet the'issue face to face before the people, and the single . advantage that they have in the battle is that they have been systematically ”win: their tares broadcast in the rural districts from one end of the country to the other during the last two years. There is really but one issue before the people of the country. Spasmodic eflorts will be made to discuss other questions than that of honest money, but long before election day the issue of honest or'dishonest money and pro- tection, will absorb public interest irom Eastern to Western sea, and the battle will be fought out in the school house and cross-roads meetings. There is every reason why this should be a dignified and in every way decent campaign. There can be no excuse whatever for the injection of personal scandal into the contest. Letlthe present campaign be entirely free from scandal. There is no cause tor it; there is no room for it, and'those who resort to it can only injure their own cause thereby. With candidates worthy in character and ability, the campaign should be one solely of edu- cation, and the party that gets down to the soberest instruction of the people will be certain to accomplish most in gathering voters into its fold. It will be a contestbetween free trade and protection, old-fashioned honesty and the plausible theory of abundant money, regardless of its purchasing quality, and it calls for the plainest presentation of Vela-fashioned truths and old-fashioned integrity to the peo- le, As a rule they are honest, and no stronger appeal can be made to them than to vindicate their individual integ- rity, and to maintain the integrity of the government that is their' own. If the people can be reached in their im- mediate communties by those who can tell them the honest truth the party of repudiation and communism will suffer the most overwhelming defeat of our national history. _ The Marrow of the Issue. William McKinley struck the marrow of the great issue before the people of the United States in a quite recent speech, when he said; ‘p‘Einancial dis- honor is the threatened danger now, and good men will obliterate old lines of party in a united effort to uphold American honor.” Mr. McKinley states the issue in a nutshell. There is but one peril that now threatens the greatest free govern- ment of the world. A powerful party has grown up. largely inspired by the demagogic appeals to the people who have been suffering from severe busi- ness conditions, that openly proclaims its purpose to dishonor the credit of the Republic and to bring convulsion and panic into every channel of industry - and trade by the destruction of private credit. Until 1896 no formidable organization under any name ventured to declare that the money of the country should be deliberately debased to one-half its value for the purpose of paying the debts of the nation and of individuals in one-half the money contracted to be paid by the debtors. While the theories of the cheap money advocates have directly tended to that end, never until now has the dag of repudiation and dishonor been unfurled and openly floated over a national organization that will certainly poll several millions of votes. This is a fearful menace to the dig- nity and integrity of the Republic, and ' Mr. McKinley-is entirely right in de- claring that “financial dishonor is the threatened danger now,” and that it should summon all good citizens “in a united effort to uphold American . honor.” Mr. McKinley has come squarely up to the issue as it has been presented .by ~those who seek to, overthrow the integ- rity of the nation, and he'thus proves prize. in who wish “to uphold American honor.” And the above is the wise and pat- ‘ riotic utterance of the Democratic Philadelphia Times, edited by Col. A. K. McClure. O soururonrs’ ROAD nAcs. Probably the Last Bicycle Meeting That Will be Held in That Place. The second annual road race of the Southport Wheel club was run off at that place, Saturday afternoon. The race was something of a chapter of ac- eédentc. Two people were arterial! hurt and a half doaeu more scratched. bruised and otherwise injured. The accidents 'were not the fault of the ofii- cers of the race, but that of the crowd, who gathered around and on the track. They crowded, packed and scrambled around in an unbecoming manner. Eve: y Wheelma n or woman. who passed was an object of curiosity and must be seen, so the crowd invariably rushed onto the road and in front of the bicy- clists. The trouble commenced in the morn- ing when it was found that some mis- creant had scattered tacks along the course. Then a letter came from one Simon Banks, protesting against the use of the highway for a race. It was addressed to the town selectmen but they paid no attention to it. Later in the day Mr. Banks, while driving a load of hay got in the way of Wilber G. Wheeler of Bridgeport. The incurring collision threw Mr. Wheeler into the gutter and cut his head. This stopped any further competition by him, in the race. 4 The most serious accident happened to Miss Martha Drew of Mill Plain. She was an interested spectator and her forgettulness brought her in con- tact with three of the racers. Miss Drew was thrown to the ground. Her nose, face and eyes were badly cut, and she was badly bruised about her body. It is feared that her arm is broken, also that she suffered internal injuries. The cyclists were thrown down and with- drew from the race. Mr. Patnode, father of William Pat- node, of Bridgeport, who was in the ten mile race also got in the way of one of the speeders. He was struck on the left side of his face badly bruising his eye, cutting his nose and fracturing his jaw. The physician who attended him said it was not possible to reduce the fracture at the time. He is in a serious way. It will be some time before he recovers. In the two-mile handicap race for boys, eleven entered but only seven came to the scratch. Young Hoffman a 30 second man won the race easily. He led from start to finish crossing the line ahead of Eddie Bell four lengths, covering the distance in 5m. 50 sec. Bell, scratch man, made the distance in 5:47 3-5 and was awarded the time prize. E. J ellifl of Southpcrt, won third prize. In the road race there were 57 entries and 47 answered to the call. It was run off in 27 m. 1 sec., A. M. Shepherd. Meriden, winning first time prize, and “Rob” Wherle of this city, second time The men finished in the order named: Fred Mills, Southport; G. H. Hale, Saugatuck; A. H. Mosher, Port- chester; George Efiier, Bridgeport. Eddie Bell, Stamford; Martin Kane, Stamford; L. W. Sullivan, New Haven; L. M. Shepherd, Meriden; R.
