P0pocratic RoWdyism.

Evidences are not lacking in some of
certed effort on the part of the Popo-
Gratis to prevent the people listening to
sound money orators. Although Mr..
Bryan has told the East that the West
is better informed on this silver ques-
ton, he means, or rather knows that
they have had more of the silver side
dinned into their ears and thrust under
their noses by means of continuous
stream of pamphlets, also that they
had until recently seen but little of the
sound money doctrine. 1t is the sober
second thought the Popocrats fear and
they are trying by rutilanly methods tn
hinder the spread of information.
When the Yale boys, angry at ths
the sound money press denounced the
act. We have yet to learn that the
Popocratic press, what there is of it,
has word to say against the hoodlum
demonstrations at one of Gen:
Grosvenor's meetings in Chicago and
at several of Bourke Cockran's meet
irgs in the West, at Omaha and at ST.
Louis. These attempts showed that
the plan had been previously perfected
and the effort to execute it was well
organized. Indeed to stir up bad blood

against another, has been spared since

bodily throwing out of Harvey. In hi.
