The Regular Army ls not nearly as nunv r-

ous. relatbelv to the whole populatlon. ns ls tneNew-York police force relatlvely lo the populatlonof New-York. and lt Is llteraliy as absurd to pred-Icate mllltarism or Imperialism on the sise of thearmy as tt would be to see ln the number of po-licemen a menace to peraonal liberty. There is no

more chance of a draft to flll one body than tofii! the other. nnd there is even leaa chance ln theense of the Army ihnt It will be ttOOd against ourfreedom.Just ,-t present we have In th" Regular Army. ss

compared wlth our poptilntion, nlnc-ienths cf nsoldier to evcrv one thousand of populatlon. Thlsis the proportfon for the year 1900. Well, ln thevrar 1670 we had oh/'nt-tenths of a soldier to everyone thousand inhahltanta. The increase of mlll¬tarism alnce the palmy days of Jefferson, a centurybhek. is roprooented by exoctly one-tenth of a sol¬dier to every thouaand Inhabttanta. ami the In-crense lo the danger of our InstttUtlons '¦. mens-

ured, therefore. by the amount of tvrnr.«iy which1s capable of being exercUed by one Ame.rl an In nuniform over ten thousand of hla fellow .itizenswithout uniforms. There was an antt-lmperlalistlemeeting at Indlanapolis recently whloh indorseilMr. Bryan, and the delegates expressed franticalarm at the increase ln our mllltary force. Thefigure* I have given show that mathematleallythese three hundred ao-Called "antl-lmperlalistsw.re onlv entltled collectlvely to so much terroramong them all as would be rcpresented by a llt¬tle less than one-thirtlcth of a Regular soldier. 1freelv admlt thelr capaclty for being frightened.but thls amount of menace scarcely 6eems to en-tltle even the most sensitive soul to any over-wrottght sympathv.Since m> the proporlion of the Regular Army has

varied somewhat even ln niinos of peace. It hnssometlmes been lower than lt is at present, andagaln il has been higher. aa ln 1810. when we badOM and four-tenths soldiers for every thousandpeople, and ln 1870. when we hnd one for everythouoand people. During the Indian wars on theplalns we often had a relatlvely largt-r mllltaryforce than l-.as been employed ln the Phillppines,and there wns just aa much chance of "mllltarismthen as there la now. and no more.Lot anv one of you think of his own experlence.

You know that it makes not one partlcle of dir-ference to you as regards your prlvate bfe whetherwe have ten or twentv regitnent* of heavy artu-Icrv ln our coaat force, or whether we have ten or

twenty regiments of cavalry nnd Infantry engegcaln keeplne order. whether among tlie ludldiis on

seems Impoasible tnat sneh a Btatement couia oemade unless as a jest. Mr. Bryan rnus; know thatthe Phliippines were pald for preolsely as I- loriua,Loulsiana, Californla and Alaska were pald tor.

The Flliplnos were no more purchased than werethe Individual dwellers ln New-Orleans bt. Au~gustlne. Santa Fe and Sitka. If the 1' illplr.os were

purchased at so much a head l>y PreMdent Mc-Kinlev. then the tnhabltants of I.'-nislana wereso purchased by Jefferson and the Ohristtaniio.half castes of Aleska were so purchased by »ew-ard. When in 177ti the United States deelared Itselfa nation, Ullnols, Indlana and Michigan formed a

Many of the lnhao-ltants did not want to become a part of the UnitedStates. any more than did the people ol yc.et.ee.but they were conquered and brought In. Detrolt,however. was held bv thjs British for many yearsafter the Revolutlonary Wiir ended. and w;fs onlysurrendered in consequence of Jay's treaty. rorwhat was in effect a money equivalent. TheIndian aborlginal inhabltants of these StatM werenot consulted in the treaty, nor were the whlte in¬habltants of French extractlon. The author ofthe Dedaration of todepeadence, bting of san..

and healthy mind, dld not push the doctrlne of th."conaent of the governed" to a conclusinn thatwould have resulted ln our great Commonwealthbeing ronfined to the e;st of the Alleghanies, whilethls mighty West, ln which I am now speaking.would have been left as a hunting ground for sav-agea and a dwelllng place for fur traderoMr. Brvan and his associates cannot say enough

about the "conaent of the governed" doctrlne, as

apply ing to tbe Phlllpplnes. They dwell upon thefact that "no man ls good enough to govern an¬other." In Xorth Carolina and other SouthernStates we see before our eyes the process of thedisfranchlsement of the negro. We see before oureves the black man governed without his conaentby the whlte man. Be lt remembered. too. that therrien thus disfranchised have always been Mr.Bryan'B fellow cltlzens, most of them born ns fieeas'he was born. If our opponents are sincera theymust necessarily denounce what has been done lnNorth Carolina wfth even more bitterrtesa thanthey have shown ln denounctng what baa beendone ln the Phlllpplnes. They say that in theFblllpplnes one man -ie not entltled to govern an¬other, even when the one does so only to protectthe other from the rtile of a savage ollgarchy untilhe grows able to protect himself. It is a matter ofastonishment that Such doctrlne can be eitheruttered or listened to without laughter, when lt lsspoken by and to men who go to thelr candidatepledgtnS hlm the votes of thelr States, because lnthose States these very men do govern other menwithout their conaent.

Trenton. N. J.. Sept. 6 (Speclal).-The RepubllcanState Convention to select a Presldenttal Electoralticket was held ln thls clty to-day. and, despltoexccsslve heat. proved to be an enthuslastlc gather-lug. Senator Burrows. of Mlchlg m. was the prin¬clpal orator, and upon the concluslin of his ad-

,lress the band played "The Star Spangled Ban¬

ner." whlch the delegates and spectators. rlslngfrom thelr «eats. sang ln concert. Thls was fol¬

lowed bv eheers for McKinley and Roosevelt. and

ulso for SoOOton Burrows and Sewell. The latter

presldod over the convention. The following elec¬

tors were nomlnated, the flrst two being electors-

at -large:John F. Dryden. of Newark.David Balrd. of Camden.lat Distrlct-John M. Moore, of OJourMter._Ild Distrlct-Wasblngton A. Roebllng of Mercer.llld Distrlct-Frederlc P.

Hulsey, of Orange.Vllth Dlstrlct-Elbert Rappelye. of Hudson.Ylllth Dlstrict.Wllberforce Freeman. of Essex.

The convention was called to order at noon byChnlrman Murphy of the Republlcan State Com-

mitiee. He made a brlef patrlotlc speech, and ln

proposlng Gonernl Sewell as chairman sald:

.How Uka a romance the llfe of thls man la.

sallor boy. merchant. aoldler. State Senator, polit¬lcal leader and United States Senator! What Other

country on the face of the earth can glve men

such opportunities? Hla llfe haa not been alwaysone of vlctory. out lt haa been one of atruggle. He

has ever been a stanch and loyal Republlcan, and

after the campaign now under way is ended he

wlll be returned as a United States Senator with¬

out opposltlon."Sheffleld Phelps, of Bergen. and Henry M. Do¬

remus of Essex, escorted General Sewell to the

platform. The band played the "Red. Whlte and

Blue." and the delegates greeted the Senator wlth

round upon round of eheers. He gracefully re¬

turned his thanks for the honor done hlm. and

"I am not new to you. I am old ln New-Jerseynolltlcs. and I have always trled to keep the stand¬

ard of mv party aa hlgh as possible. I have trleu

to glva as hlgh a standard to my poiitlcs as to my

business or to my church. I have slways trled to

ba honest. aad I do not believe In chlcanery In

poiitlcs. lf a man takes up poiitlcs he ought to

;,c honest in every partlcular, ~nd I have alwaysendcavored to follow thnt line."General Sswell then referrcd to the conditions ln

the partv ln 1892. In that year, he »aid. the Ncw-

Jersey delegation came back from the Natlonal

convention after having nomlnated Benjamln Har-

rison with the flrm convictlon that Mr. Harrtson.

"than whom no greater man livea." would cer-

talnly be re-elected after the years of prosperitythat the country had enjoyed..But we were mlstaken," the Senator contlnued.

.The great mass of voters became flckle. even ln

the helght of prosperity. Mr. Cleveland was elect¬

ed President, and, thank God, Mr. Bryan was not

elected then. -Mr. Cleveland is an honeBt man. and

there ls not one who does not believe that he trled

to do what he believed was right. Then came a

change. The Democrats sald that a change ln the

tariff would beneflt the workera. and the Wilson

Tariff bill was enacted. As a result our mills were

closed and business became slagnated."After a time, however. the people of the coun¬

try came to thelr senses, and ln 1896 William Mc¬

Kinley was elected President. Certain pledges were

made by the Republlcan party. and every one ofthese pledges has been fulflllcd. A new tariffmeasure was enacted, business was lmproved. and,as a result of renewed confldence the mllls and fac-torles were reopened, and the worklng men were

enabled to have full dlnner palls, where they hadbeeti'WlrpW'before. It is lmperative, ln vlew of theexperkrjma w-e had in 1892. that there should be no

apathy in the party ranks. and the thlnklng.menof tbe State should see to lt that every man uu.lertheia^mntfefK-e. or withln thelr reach, should dohls duty, instfcud of falllng back to the conditions

ra 1S'.'2 proBtrated the prosperity of ourStates."Senator gewell next took up the iBaue of imrertal-

ls:n. Jle said the Democrats were claimlng that thePresident was doing things ln a high handed man-ner and that CongreBs had not declared wnr.

IIOrSE SEATS IN DANGER.

RErrr.i.icA.v faction fiohts that

MAY PROVE COSTLY.

far TKI.E -.RAFH TO TIIE TItllirNF.lWashington, Sept. 6..It has been the fash¬

ion to say that Republican factional quarrelsflourish only where they do no harm.ln theSouthern Statea.whose electoral votes havebeen for yeara chalned by fraud to the Demo¬cratic party. That la only partlally true. Oneof the flercest factional fights ln the Republlcanparty ls now raging, as lt dld two years ago.ln o Statt- whose electoral vote ls as certain tobe eaat for McKinley and Roosevelt as VeY-mnnt's or Oregon's..he great stata of Penn¬aylvanla. In that Plnte the Republieans lostflve or six Congress districts in 1W8 slmply andsolely because the members of the belligc-rentfactions were so bltterly determfned to cut one

another's political throats, and so busy doinglt that they allowed the common enemy tocarry off the prizes of vlctory whlch belongedto them»elves. There appears to be Immlnentdanger that the same thlngs will happen inPennsylvanla agaln thls year. Indeed, care-ful Republican observers express fears thnt theoutcorne may he even worse than it was twoyears ago. for the factional flght is daily be-comlng more bltter. unrelenting and .lesperate.

If the leaders of the opposing factions wouldhalt long enough ln thelr efforts to destroy oneanother to reflect and realize that they are

blindly and wllfully promoting and aiding theBryanltes in their efforts to gain control of theNationai House of Representatives. perhapsther would listen to reason. If they do not,Pennsylvanla wlll probably send eleven ortwelve Bryanlte members to the next Congressinstead of the ten now there. whlch are at leastsix more than the Bryanltes could elect if theRepublieans of the Keystone State were unitedand loyal to the candidates as well as to theprlnciples of thelr party.

QUARRELS IN THE SOUTH.Some of the Congress districts in the South¬

ern States would be represented in the Houseby Republieans despite unfair electlon lawsbadly and dishonestly administered. if it werenot for factional quarrels. This ia true of atleast three districts in Virginia. One of theseis the Norfolk distrlct. whlch iontai::s severalthousand more Republlcan than Bryanite vot¬ers. There a factional flght as bitter as any inPennsylvanla has been raging for years. Oneof the focttone held a convention ln April andmade a nomination for Con.cre.ss. Recently theother faction held a ronventlin, and under theOd lee, lt is understood. cf tho chairman of theRepublican Xatlonal Cormnitt.¦-.» odjoumod toawalt the report of o coromlttee of ten of Itsmembers Oppointed to confer wlth a like com¬mittee of the other faction. The joint ei mmit-tee is to meet next week and will not a_rree.The result wlll be the loss of the district t<> theRepublieans. What is called the Republicanparty organization in Virglnia has fallrn underthe control of a coterie of Federal ofBceholdero,most of whom appear to be in politlcs for thesame reason that Rii-hard Croker is.In Tennessee also are two strong Republlcan

factions which, !f heartliy united. could electthree or four Republieans to Congress insteadof two, as at present. One of the factions lsheaded by Congressman Brownlow. a nephewof the renowned Poroon Brownlow, and tlieother by H. Clay Evans. n >W CommiflotoMf ofPenoiono, who was elected Governor of thoState several years ago, and cbeoted out of theofflce by a Democratic Leglslature. There issaid to be a fair prospect that the Tennesseefactions will compoee their differences, or atleast declare a truce and pull together duringthe remainder of the Presldential campaign.There is also sald to be a hopeful prospect

that the warring Republlcan factions in Deia¬ware wlll do the same, but there ls grave rea¬son to fear that lt is already too late, and thatthe Bryanltes wlll elect the Representative inCongress and a majority of the State Legls-latui-e, which is to chOOM two Cniti d StatesSenators next wlnter, even lf they do not capt¬ure the electoral vote.

I dttermlned to support the Republlcan candi¬dates as soon as the actlon ot the Democratlc Con¬ventlon was made known. 1 think the Republicanparty ncurer right on the Important uuestions to l»esettled at the comlng electlon, and tbey are toograve. in my JiJjrment. to admit of any one re-muinlng sllent or inactlve. I <ii«l not vote for Mr.McKinley In 1MH*. as hux been often stated. Myconvlctidns on the money question were very de-cld«d in 189U, and aubaequanl events have onlyserved to strengthen them. I prcdicted In a speechat Madison Square Oartien. In New-York. durlngthe la*-*. campaign that with the maintenance ofthe gold atandard and an lmprovement ln ourbaiiklng faiillties N.w-York woulii at no distanttime beeoaaa tlw world'e money centre; but l <iidnot have the leiist ideu at that tlnie that before theelectlon thls year Buropean countrtaa would ba ob-talning loans from American haahara tapoo betterterms than they could ..Maln theio uuywhere elsein the world. The Itnanctal lmprovement tn theeondltinn of the people and the country la withoutu parallel, and bow anv one who opposed Mr.Bryan four years a^'o can support hlm now ls dltti-cult for me to comprehetid. Whlle the leglslationor the la»t Ooaagroaa was a step lu the right direc-tlon, the amlntenanoa of the gold standard. so longss we bave outstandlng nearly six hundred mllltoneof ailver di-llur* ..f full legal t.n.ier, wlth no pro-vislon for their exchange or redempMon. wlll stllldenend upon the pohoy <>f ihe Adminlstration.

Members of the RepubUenn NaMonal Commlte*ln the heudquarters at No. 1 Madlsr.n-ave yester¬day expresaed surprlse at Mr. Pryan's sj>eeches lnWest Vlrginln. It was expe-ted by th- eommittee-m*n generally that the bur.bn of his discotirscs inthe East would be the "Imperlallst lasue." but hehas taken another tack in Maryland and West Vir¬

glnia. In eonversatlon on the womfaot yesterdaySenator N. R. Scott sald:Mr. Bryan has shifted his ground agsln and paaj

another slide Into h!s maglc lantern. We thoughtthls was to be his week for imperialism. but in-.tead of that he haa swltched oft on to the farnierlssue and haa Informed the farmers of Wes*. Vir¬glnia how they have surT-rerj under the MeKlnleyAdmlnlstration. He tells th-m that the times _rehard, nnd that they haven't got anv money; or, lfthey have, lt Is not due to the Republlcan policy.He also promises to give them more money. butneglects to aay that thls new money wlll not boworth half as much as thelr present money To besure, he says lt haa happened '.hat the farmershave never had better rn>pu or a better demand forth«m at home or abroad. and that money Is pour-ing Into th's eountr;. fii.ni Boropo; but thls oriivhappened.th» Bep-iMlcans-hnd nothing to io wtthlt. And so forth. It really ls an interesting ques¬tlon whether Mr. Bryan or any other sane man canactually believe that the intelligent farmers of Amer¬ica take any stock in such transp irent nonsense aathls, when the slmple fact Is that the farmera areIn much better condltion than they orera four rratango, and. Indeeil, were never so well o(T aa now.1 his Is the unlversal testlmony of the farmersthe-nselves ln all sectlons. Here are a few tlgur»s:The average voloa of farm animais has ateadlly

In 18M the average value ofcorn was 2Ui cctrts a bushel; in lSrT*9 »he averagevalue was Su.3 cents.
