COLORADO'S PLAN.

Mr.. Teller shares the opinion held by
many other people that Governor Nc
Kinley will be the winning candidate
at ST. Louis. In fact, the Colorado
senator was heard to say to some of his
senate associates. one day last week,
that 1t would not surprise him were
Mckinley to be the convention
choice on the first ballot.
This talk reached the ear of a Wash
ington Post reporter who. of course.
rushed in to ask Mr.. Teller what Colo
RADIO is likely to do If the Ohio candi-
date is selected. Mr.. Teller's reply
was that his prophecy as to a first-bal-
lot selection might be a little too elias
tic" but that, at any rate. his mind
was made up that Mckinley would be
the republican candidate.
Thereupon. as a matter of course. the
reporter asked Mr. Teller what Colo
RADIO was likely TO do with Mckinley.
The senator's answer was: HE cam
not carry Colorado any more than he
can carry Texas. The truth is that no
republican can carry Colorado on a
BOlu pidIlOiul OF Ou d slTduullHS pat
form" This will be construed merely
as the remark of a man who is so ar
dent an advocate of free coinage that
he is prejudiced in regard to all ad-
verse issues. At the same time, we re-
member that, four years ago, after the
republican national convention had
named it's ticket. Senator Teller pre-
dioted that Harrison would not carry
Colorado. This prophecy was secuted
by the politicians. but the November
count in Colorado made Mr.. Teller's
prediction good; in the presidential
year of 1892. the republican candidate
lost Colorado.
This year, there is apathy in Colo
RADIO respecting the fortunes of favor
ties who will have attention at st.
Louis; 1t is altogether likely that the
people in that state will vote for any
body on silver ticket. We quote what
Mr.. Teller said last week because, when
Colorado republicanism is heard from,
our curiosity is quickened respecting
the policy to which Montana's repub-
licans will commit themselves Our be-
lief is that public sentiment in Montana
Is as firmly fixed for free coinage as
II is in Colorado; the question is
whether managing politicians in this
state will let that sentiment find ex-
preston.

Baltimore finally winning the cham

gle. towards the end of the season, will
be between them, unless one or the
other should be handicapped by acct
dent to some of it's players. The Phil
adelphias have been strengthened, and
they are likely to prove formidable,
while the Pittsburgs are also of better
stuff than they were last year.
The New York team has an army of
youngsters who are under trial; the
team will hardly rise above the second
class this season. Chicago also has
some new material, but that ctty's club
is not likely to get above New York's
class. although Arson has wagered $500
that he will finish better than fourth.
Boston is not improved and, while al
ways formidable. is likely to weaken
for lack of substantial pitching ma
terial before the season closes. Brook

along in the second class, while the
fight for the tail end will be between

is what President Cleveland said in
( 1893, and he proposed to stop the agi-
tation by a vote for repeal In the extra
session he summoned. The presidents

involved, but the agitation for free

ment." Scores of republican organs
urge the adoption of these words by
the St Louis convention, yet many of
these organs have quoted within ten
days what was recently said in the
English house of commons as final
proof that an international agreement
is out of the question.
Most arrogant Of the goldbug states
thus far is Rhode Island The fellow
who ran that states republican con-
vention last week arose to remark,
I'VE want gold" the convention itself
demanded that the advocates of silver
be choked off, on the theory that the
agitation disturbs Rhode Island and
some other constituencies. Montana is

wealth producing state than Rhode
Island. Young as 1T is-Rhode Island is

Rhode Island may crave the quiet
that naturally is sought by a pent-up
little community whose achievements
are small, but 1t is our guess that
Rhode Islands demand will not be met.
In fact, it is our opinion that, before
the silver question is settled, Montana
will make Rhode Island very tired. 4
