 The Butte, Montana, Inter-Moun- tain, a republican paper owned by Senator Lee Mantle, has come out in favor of Bryan.
 Our contemporary asserts that 1t has not said and will not say that Mckinley republican must of neces- sity be a gold bug.
 The silver party. when it endorsed Bryan and SewAl, shut up shop and went out of business, turning its stock over to the democrats snd PoPulis;s.
 The democratic party seems 10 prefer wind to brains in its leaders this year. There will be mighty little of it left to lead after the Sd ol next November.
 It begins to look as though NIT. Sewan would be unable to even hold the democratic vote of his own state. also that somebody greety misrepresented bis putting up qualities.
 The populist convention repudi- ated some of what has been held as cardinal principles of the party for several years, in the adoption of its platform yesterday.
 The Populists last night in their St. Louis convention repudIated Sewan and nominated a man named Watson for vice president. This adds to the political complications of the year.
 The JoURNAL-MINER does not pro pose to bandy words with its con temporary on the silver question. The attitude of this paper is well known and no amount of misrePre- sentstion will change it.
 Before the meeting of the na- tional republican convention, there was not a gold bug republican paper in Arizona; now there are several. remarks our contemporary. There are just as few gold bug papers in Arizona to-day as there were before the national republican convention.
 Uncle Sam to the democrats: No, thank you, boys, once Is enough. l allowed you to make a tariff exPeri- ment. and the result has set me dead against experiments, financial or otherwlse. The tried and true policy of the republican party Is good enough for me
 A boIter dreamed a dream. He was asked by St. Peter when be applied Tor admission, who he was: Il am bolter. he proudly replied. Then you are in the wrong place, said St. Peter, as he slammed the gate; we have Do room up here for men who are better than their party"
 The Los Angeles Times hits the nail sQusreiy on the head when 1t says: Many a man might accumu- late a competency if the energy and wind applied in the effort to secure 8 picayunish public office should be directed along the lines of business CT professional effort. There is that, though, about an office, of any sort, which has an almost irresistible at traction for some men. and to win such a position the same men will spend time, money and talent to a degree ridicuIously disProPortion- ate to the honor or emoluments of the office sought.
 As ar illustration of the division of political sentiment in the demo- cratic party of the east, we quote the following from the Chambers burg, Pa, Journal In speaking of a county convention and the nom- nation of q democratic candidate for Congress. 1t says; The cOnyen- ton Is the first ever held by the the democrats of Adams county that did not adopt resolutions. The reason Is that the sentiment among the delegates was so divided that no agreement could be reached" Ia focal affairs it would seem that the party Is pretty badly mixed. when they could not pass a simple resolu- ton endorsing their candidate for president even.
 We frequently notice sympathetic outbursts, n certain papers, which make a speciality ot appealing to the prejudices. rather than the in- tellicence of their readers, about the horrible foreclosure of mort gsges on the property of private individuals. as though 1t were a ter rible thing for an individual or an association to compel the payment Of money loaned. Did any one ever read in any of these papers any tear ful sympathy for the scores of rail road companies, which during the past three ov four years. have had their mortgages foreclosed and which have gone through the hands of receivers and have been sold to satisfy the mortgages against them.
