"Missouri is knocking fur admission
Into the great republican circle of
states." Ht. Louis Ulobe Democrat.
Some of the Bryan papers delight to
cartoon Roosevelt in the rough rider
contain wilb a double row of glisten
ivories. Teddy does show bis teeth
when democratic follies and fallacies
are bis text.
The theatrical men of New York have
formed a club to work for the election ol
McKinley and Roosevelt, and have
chosen for their motto "Let Well
Knougb, Alone." The amusement fra
ternity have no desire to return to the
days of depression tbat prevailed from
1803 to lfttKJ.
Hiuce the scalp bounty went into effect
in February there have been
turned in to the county clerk of this
county 218 scalps; 54 In the past three
months. The total number of scalps
paid for by the slate during the past
three months is 0,30(1, and 45,820 since
February, 18(11), These scalps iiave cost
the state over (90,000 but it lias rid the
country of many coyotes, wild cats, etc,
Some people express surprise that
Win. Colvig and other prominent demo
crats are now supporting McKinley.
There is now ground for surprise that
these old time democrats are in the
republican ranks In 1000. The republi
can party on two of its great issues
occupies the ground which the demo
cracy beld in its gieal duys. When the
democratic party was the dominant
power in the country its two leading
planks were honest money and ex
paneion. Those two Ideas were cardinal
Democratic principles. Naturally neatly
all the old-time Democrats are support
ing the Republican ticket this year.
Borne 01 me nryaniles are expressing
surprise that ex -Secretary Carlisle
should have come oyer to the Republi
cans in this campaign. There is no
occasion for surprise, however. Mr.
Carlisle belongs to the old Democracy
lie is a disciple of Jefferson, Jackson
and iientun. lie believes In honest
money, the sort of money which will
be worth 100c on the dollar under all
conditions. When he was in Cleve
land's Cabinte be, as well as bis chief
and all the rest of the members of the
Cleveland council, fought for this kind
of money, and against the sort which is
propoMod by Bryan and bis copartners
at the present day.
"The most undignified spectacle ever
presented in a political campaign, is
that of.Uov. Roosevelt heading a band ol
rulBns while canvassing for vice presi
dent. But such is modern republican
Ism." A (irants l'ass correspondent to
the Medfurd Kuqiiirer.
We do not know who this correspond
ent is but bis statement is entirely
without truth. When .the supporters
of Ilryanism are driven to resort to such
statements as the above the collapse of
the Bryan cause is certainly not far off.
We would suggest however that the only
"bands of rulllans" which (lov. Roose
velt has had to deal with was first, at
Victor Colorado, where he was Bl
acked by a mob and later in Illinois
where he was again attacked by a
similar mob for clearing to lay boar the
fallacies of Mr. Bryan's llnancial and
expansion polliciee.
