The Political Situation Viewed
From Many Stand Points.
The Reno Gazette says that DR..
Hogan is disappointed at the action of
the Populist Convention at st. Louis
last week. He says the plutocrats
had the convention by the throat and
forced the nomination Of William J..
Bryan as against such statesmen as
Eugene V. Debs, and that he fears
the country has gone to the dogs; that
he would much prefer to see Mckin-
Icy elected, and he thinks that would
be calamity.
George Peckham thinks the dele
gates were hypnotized by the corpora
TORS, and Mr.. Peckman is not at al
pleased with tho outlook.
Newt Richards says the corporations
will keep monksying with Uncle Sans
band wagon until bullets will take the
place of ballots; then we can get re.
lief. Tho topulists are not all salts
fed with the result of the convention.
The Democrats are not at all happy,
and say that Mr.. Bryan and his party
paid too much attention to the Pops.
"We can elect our President with
out any Of their help and what is the
use of getting into the same bunk with
Calamity" Weller, "Cyclon" Davis
and men Of the stampl' say many
Democrats.
B. +. Bobo says the situation could
not please him better. While he says
the Democrats never did keep prom
Use made to the country, he thinks
they will in the present instance, and
Re will vote for Bryan and Sewall.
Mr.. Bobo did not say so, but we in
ferrsd that he endorses the plank de-
nouncing "fsderal interference" in
times of riots and such, and swallows
the dose the Democrats gave the coun-
try without stopping to s.e if it tastes
bad or not.
The Republicans are not doing much
talking, but seem entirely satisfied
with the outlook.

How Bryan Ignores the Experience
of This and Other Nations with
Free Coinage.
Mr.. Bryan states that he believes the
free coinage of silver. by our govern
ment alone, at the ratio of 16 TO l..
would raise the price of silver to S1.29
per ounce; and he never tires of alleg-
ing that Il government is strong. and
rich, and powerful enough to accomplish
this result without waiting or asking for
the cooperation of any other country.
In making this prediction Mr.. Bryan
ignores the experience of this and other
nations of the world in regard to the
coinage of silver during the past 100
years; but waving that, let us see what

The Working Mans Vote is His Own.

to control the labor vote. The labor
vote cannot be controlled. 1t is free.
