of late, Wyoming does nobly at
the first chance she had, and elects
as her silver senators ex-senator
Warren and ex-Congressman Clark.
The present Senator, Mr. Carey
has voted continually with the
enemies of free silver and though
he put forth herculcan efforts for
reelection he did not get a single
vote. That shows how the friends
OF silver treat a person, be he high
or low, that goes back on their in
terests Montana and Washington

"I think it could" he promptly
replied,
"Another effort might be made,
leaving England entirely out of the
question, 1t is useless to appeal to
England, Her interests call for the
single gold standard, and she will
continue to try to thwart every
effort in behalf of bimetallism, by
whomsoever made, We should in

Populism does not govern in the
West, She does not want to make
