Show PITHY POLITICAL. PARAtSfcAPHS. Issn hiding Is by no means a mew trick of the Demorcatic party. Dollar wheat and 10-cent cotton tell Hie story of McKinley prosperity. ' Towne Is to follow Rosevelt, It seems. We will have a lively time of It It seems that the Indiana Democrats are organizing Bryan soldier clubs. How terribly imperialistic! i If predictions were only electoral Vvotes Chairman Jones would be able to elect several presidents this year. ! At last accounts "Coin" Harvey was farming a farm, having made all the money he could farming the fanners. ; While any old ratio will do for me, 'I would strongly urge having a different differ-ent one every four years. R. Croker. 1 "General" Coxey Is also too busy with his steel plant to lead an army of the discontented on to Washington just now. Dictator Croker sits on his Saratoga throne and his sway Is as absolute as was Mr. Bryan's control of the Kansas Kan-sas City convention. : -:- Dick Croker is quick to attribute disloyalty dis-loyalty to those members of Tammany who favor the nomination of an honest man for governor of New York. Mr. Bryan says the Republican party puts the dollar before the man. So it does, aid it is much better than placing plac-ing an empty dinner pail before him. Mr. Bryan continues to talk about 'money being the master. And Chair-jman Chair-jman Jones goes right ahead collecting jthe "master" for campaign purposes. i It is understood that Colonel Mose Wetmore of St Louis is very much opposed to trusts unless he can sell $,",000,000 stock to one of them for $15,000,000, say. , ,Mr. Bryan needn't worry about the safety of the Republic. There is not a good American in the whole country who would not give his life to save that same Republic. The Hon.' James. S. Hogg openly . charged the Hon. Joe Bailey with con- ( sotting with trusts. Is the octopus getting in its deadly work among the Texas Democrats? Mr. Bryan started into politics as a free trader, later he took up free silver and now he appears to be disposed to try a little freebooting. The plea that Mr. Bryan as President would not do the country so much iarm but what the Republican party could step in and repair the damage is Jiot an enticing one to the voters. Hon. Arthur Sewall of Maine,' who will possibly be remembered by some of our readers as having run for vice president on the ticket with Mr. Bryan four years ago, is out for McKinley. ! There are over 30,000 bank deposit-tors deposit-tors in Colorado now, an increase of nearly 100 per cent in four years. 'Perhaps this is one of tbe many valid reasons why McKinley will carry Colorado Colo-rado this time. . Senator Hoar's logical reasons for rging the election of McKinley and Roosevelt have had a rather depressing effect' upon the . "Democratic editors. They have suddenly discovered that he ' 1b not a patriot. ' We were glad to notice the positive tone of Mr. Altgeld's interview In reference ref-erence to the anarchists of this and ther countries. Surely he Is an un-qnestioned un-qnestioned and unquestionable authority author-ity upon that topic It would seem under all the circumstances circum-stances as If the sugar trust ought to 4o something handsome for Richardson Richard-son of Tennessee; at least they might subscribe for a copy of his book without with-out anv of the long-talk, either. " Mr. Bryan has not yet said anything a the press of the economic lndepend-. nce of the Nebraska bog, which is worth $4.50 more per head now than it was ttfir years ago. It is really not mice of the Nebraska hog to be bo very valuable. In his criticism of the Philadelphia platform Mr. Bryan was not fair nough to concede that the Republican Bominees are standing by every word 9t it and not striving to conceal any 'Articular plank.- There Is a marked difference be-jtween be-jtween the Republican and Democratic (candidates for the presidency in their '.ability to remain faithful to important 'issues through evil report and good re-.port re-.port ' McKinley Is recognized as the apostle of protection. He believes in It, worked for it voted for it and se-snred se-snred the passage of the protective tariff measure known as the McKinley hilL When the free trade party tri-mphed tri-mphed and a House and Senate were sleeted pledged to repeal the McKinley MIL its author never wavered. He continued to teach protection and warned the people that the experiment a which they were about to enter 'would prove disastrous. Results prov-,d prov-,d the wisdom of his position.. The (people came to think as he thought and 'Lis record in both victory and defeat . kas been consistent While McKinley 'advocated protection, Bryan defended (free trade, but when free trade was re-j re-j pudlated Bryan dropped it. He con sulted with expediency and bound himself him-self to the silver worshipers, allowing free trade to shift for itself. Then in turn silver was dropped, and after this year imperialism will sleep beside free trade aud free silver aud some other' popular cry will be adopted by the Nebraska Ne-braska colonel unless he Is dropped. |
