from Washington and South Dakota"
he said "came in on the Burlington

metallism and protection, for bimetal-
lism particularly. They say they can
carry their states with bimetalism in
the platform, but if the convention
adopts the gold standard on a strad-
die they can not do it, at all. Would
have no chance whatever.
"a decline ia enthusiasm was very ap-
parent they said. Three weeks ago
everything was Mckinley and he could
have swept the states, but since the
agitation of the money question his
stock is not as high as it was. In Colo
rado we have nothing against McKin-
ley but We feel very strongly on the
money question. If gold standard or
a straddle is adopted Colorado Will
give 100000 against the ticket"
