$4,000 and his plurality but $1,000 over
the Republicans This is big enough
but it is only little more than half
what the Democrats claimed afrer the
election The vote Of two years ago
was. Democrat, 1900; Republicans
$4,000 and Populists $500. The present
vote, Democrat sc, $50, gain Of II, $50,
or 10 per cent; Republicans "a, 140, a
gain of $40, or 81 per cent; Populists
1925, loss of 11,175. or 46 per cent.
The Democratic gain corresponds al
most exactly with the Populist loss.
The Republican vote shows the sub
stantial gain after all, compared with
two years ago.
Everything goes to show that the
vote Of the Republicans this year will
exceed that Of two years ago. Maine
showed a Republican gain Of 20 per
cent, while the Populist party in that
state is practically obliterated- From
1921 votes in 1894, Bateman has fallen
to LOO votes this year. This is the
end Of the Populist party. There is no
doubt that POpuliSt Henry ID. Lloyd
was correct when he said in the Sep
tember Review Of Reviews that 'the
Peoples party had shot chuteS OF fu-
sion and landed in the deep waters of
Democracy as the Independent Repub
hcan movement of 1872 did"
This is the result Of all fusion. What
do Populists get out of it? A prospect
for silver! And Lloyd adds, 'But 1t
was how to find among the Populists
any who would not admit privetly that
silver was only the most trifing Install
ment of reform, and amany-a great
did not conceal their be
lief that it was no reform at all" The
elections show no hope for Democracy,
and the absolute annihilation OF the
Populist party.

TIE ROOSTER AND THE FROG.
a fable. the moral of which is in the log

"a fable. the moral Of which is IN the iogi'
of it,
A Democratic rooster once
Was travelling incog,
When on the way he CHANGED to meet
A PopuliStic frog.
As each rehearsed his tale of wee
And toll of ruthless years
They wept, and wept, and wept, and wept
Exuberance of tears.
Misguided people," sighed the frog,
They do not heed my croaks,"
MY Growing now the rooster sobbed.
Seems not to strike the folks"
"Alasi alas" the frog rejoined,
"Alacky' the rooster cried;
And then in lachrymose accord
They sat down side by side.
Then SAND the frog, as in his eyes
There flashed a sudden light,
II have plan-a g3ourious plan
To set this matter right
Our captive country yet shall have
Her year Of jubilee.
The scheme IS this: I'll swallow you,
And then you swallow me-"
No sooner said than done. At once
The rooster went to soak.
The frog no longer frets at night
With melancholy croak:
And when their friends came by that way
They neither one were there;
They looked, and looked, and looked, and
looked,
But they weren't anywhere.

CHEAP AND GOOD MONEY.

The difference between a silver Re-
publican and silver Popocrat is this:
Tie Republican is opposed to aGy poll
cy which would result in a deprecated
dollar. The POpoerat, or a great many
Of them, are for cheap money. Bryan
says that cheap money means high
prices. but again in the same breath he
says that silver would not be cheap
money with independent and unlimited
coinage, but would be worth S1o9 per
ounce
The Republican party has been and
is now in favor Of the use of both gold
and silver as money, limiting the coin
age OF silver dollars TO an amount
which the government can safely un-
dertake to maintain at parity with
the standard money of the other great
nations. About S55o.oo0OOo of silver
has been added 10 the currency since
1913. The Republican party favored
this coinage of silver so long as no
doubt existed that the volume of silver
could be kept at parity with gold. In
the platform of 1883 il condemned the
Democratic administration for at
tempting 60 stop coinage, because it
was no apparent at that time that the
further infusion Of silver into the eur
rency would invite the peril of the sill
yer standard The Republican party
has been a constant and Consistent
friend of silver, but above all other
principles and purposes it has religi-
ously held TO the doctrine that there
should be no lowering OF the money
standard-that all our money should be
maintained al an equality with the
standard of the civilized world.

DALE IS DISCHARGED
A Queer Story of Real Life Developed

The arrest of r. M. Dale on Buena

counter with one John Ellis, has de-
veloped an interesting story in real life.

police court yesterday Dale was dis
charged, 1t being shown that Ellis was
the aggressor.
Last night Dale related the story of
his life since he became acquainted with
the woman over whom the quarrel arose
and produced documents to show that
while perhaps he has been fool he had
never been a knave.
1t was in Auckland. New Zealand,
that he first met Lilly Keast, at that time
separated from her husband and Of not
unimpeachable virtue. She called at his
Office on business. and he fell in love with
her. They lived together for some time,
