Evidently George Fred williams
has been nominated for governor Of
Massachusetts by every man in that
state who stands for rowdyism in
politics or recklessness in government.
He has also been nominated by some
decent citizens, but they are timid
infinltesimal minority.
Mr. Thatchr was ready to make
any sacrifice for Mr., Hill and Tamma-
ny hall provided it did not involve
qualification of his own conscience.
He drew the line at that point, and
drew it so vigorously that his would
he bosses must regard his independ-
ence as only n little short of actual
rebellion.
Ii is worth making a note of that
Mr.. Bryan kept his denunciation of
plutOcracy carefully corked up while
he Travelled as Mr.. SewalIs guest in
New England Any remarks on that
line would necessarily have been re-
garded by the banker of Bath as
something in the nature of a personal
affrOnt.
Spain's attempt to borrow another
S2OO.0O0,OOO for her Cuban campaign
has utterly failed. Her collateral is
insufficient and capitalists don't APP
prove the undertaking in which she
proposes to use the money.
-
1t is time for the ringmaster to step
out into the sawdust and announce
what Mr. Hill proposes to do next.
The vast audience anXiously awaits
the performance. which becomes more
and more thrilling the further it adj
vanceS.
POpulist Watson's dOuble-leaded
warning that Bryan is in danger
seems to be needlessly exaggerated.
Experts agree that Mr. Bryan is just |
as safe as if he were alone on a des-
ert island with his sonorous voice.
-
1t is distressing to learn that the |
of the Bryan campaign are |
hampered by lack of money. 1t must |
be that the dOwn-trOdden millionaire |
mine owners have put som addi- |
tional hoops on their barrels.
Bismarck again declares that he |
would like to see America try the ex-
pertinent of free silver. He is as ca
ger as the man who holds n ticket for |
a spectators seat at a made-to-order |
railway collision.
"The gold dollar" shouts Mr.. Bry-
an sis the meanest dollar in the
world" 1t is n little strange that he
didn't add: And this world is the |
meanest world in the universe"
The Endorsement of the financial |
views of Bismarck by Bryan would |
carry considerably more weight if |
there We're anybody to indOrse Bryan.
1t may be stated as Il matter of re-
cord that Engineer John Boyd |
Thatcher reversed his engine so sud-
denly that the shock to the Popocrat-
ic train was almost as severe as would
nave been a collision with the Repub-
lican express.
Weyler now proposes to bend all his
toward preventing union
Of the Gomez and Maceo forces. If he
bends them too far they may break,
as they did last spring.
There is no truth in the report that |
Coney islands big Elephant was burn
ed by Bryan sympathiZers because it
had been a gold mine to it's owners.
One thing Mr.. Bryan may have no.
ticed in Maine is that that state is
the jumping-off place of Populism in
the United States.
Candidate Bryan could have his |
hair cut again, and even hten it |
wouldn't be as short as his vote will |
be in November.
"Give us a dollar that will stay at |
home" shouts Bryan. Anybody got |
a pewter coin for the gentleman?
Bryan has had his hair cut. Now |
for his claws.
