Colorado and Kansas will again swing
into line under republican banners.
That would he the logical conclusion
when we reflect that republicanism is
the mother, the prolific mother of all
the isms, reasonable and unreasonable,
which arise to plague the old organi-
cations in politics. The democrats of
Kansas and Colorado will simply de-
termiu if they would prefer a popu-

be successful in either state because
