OUR CRANK GOVERNORS.

Fortunately, Mr.. Waite's lunacy is of
kind that is thoroughly understood,
and, therefore, harmless.-Kansas City
Times.
Gov. Waite is still determined that
the anarchist lunatlcs shall not
surpass him in fantastic antics.-St.
Louis Post-Dispatch.
The party that is not handicapped by
having the governor of Oregon upon its
rolls has cause for thanksgiving and
self congratulation. - Detroit Free
Press.
Gov. Pennoyer, of Oregon, has writ
ten another letter to President Cleve-
land that confirms the public impression
created by his former effusions-C Chicago
Dispatch.
To Gov. Waite, with his peculiar, not
to say excessive requirements in the
line Of freeze, the present warm wave
must be especially discouraging.-
Washington Star.
Gev. PenmoYer stands in the unfort-
innate position OF man who has said so
much that is foolish that he is not likely
to be taken in earnest, even should he
deserve Washington Star.
Gov. Waite is nothing ii not persist
ent in his purpose. He has convened
the legislature of Colorado in extra SEES
sion to counterfeit the depression in the
silver mining industry Omaha Bee.
Gov. Pennoyer may blather about
hard times In Oregon, but what does he
think of this from Macon, Ga: For
Sale-One monument, situated in River
side cemetery, Bibb county, Georgia,
with granite base and figure on top.''-
Chicago Times.
Gov. Waite is simply the result of a
political freak. He is repudiated by the
press and the people of Colorado, and
the popular cOnundrum in the state is.
How in the name of Sam Hill did we
ever come to vote for such a blooming
ldiot?-MIlwaukee Wisconsin.
Gov. Pennoyer calls on the president
OF the United States to tighten the bur
denS of the people of Oregon, although
the first step that would suggest itself
as proper to that undertaking would
hardly tlatter the governors personal
pride. 1t is not surprising to be told
that something is radically wrong with
state that is so badly off in his head
Louisville COurier-Journal.
Gov. Waite. the silver maniac or Col
orado,haS called the legislature together
queer ideas into laws. He is likely TO
find it case of trying to make a horse
drink after he has been led to water.
The press of Colorado and the public
sentiment or the state are both against
him.-Cleveiaud Leader.
Gov. Waite, of Colorado, and Gov.
Pennoyer, of Oregon, are both in evil
dence this morning. The former has
issued call for a special session of the
legislature. The latter has given Mr..
Cleveland piece of his mind. We
ought to have something now from
Tiliman and Lewelling. if those
worthless wish to keep up With the pro-
indianapolis News.
Gov. Waite is going to have a special
session Of tue Colorado legislature if it
takes his head. The people and the
other state officials pronounced the
scheme as absurd and crazy, but the
call has gone forth and the Legislators
Will have to come. 1t is proposed to
meet and adjourn on the same day,
though the members may STAY long
enough to hold lunatico inquirendo on
the governor Joseph News.
There is Tillman, of South Carolina,
with his state dramshop idea. Then
comes Waite. of Colorado, with blood to
the bride of his fiery steed. Lewelling,
OF Kansas, has variety of radical
notions Surging up to rank socialism.
Gov. Penn0yer, of Oregon. is another of
the crank governors, and is much given
to long epIStleS to the president. pro-

ance on his devoted head.-Pittsbur
