George Fred Williams is set forth
by the Boston Arena as the eXecp-
tiOnally fitting representative of free
silver ideas in Massachusetts, and it
is notorious that he was nominated
by the worst political gang of toughs
and rowdies that ever met in a New
England convention. The Arena
poses as the representative of broad
free thought, but it has prostituted
its columns this inning, sure.

Tammany has put itself into hole,
and the Republicans will push the
hole in after them in November.
Tammany has bet its boots and it's
brains on free silver( and dare not
nominate any other but free silver
tie to congress. As no freesilverite
has a show in New York or Brooklyn,
it is not hard to figure out how much
Tammany has gained by backing

When a politician of the national
stripe is so soured against the pulpits
of the land. because so few of them
actively join in his crusade against
good will and peace, that he has to
denounce them as conspirators, he
shows that it is getting late in the
afternoon of his political hopes.

Tom Watson does not know what to
do with himself and the Popocratic
party has no more knowledge. He
sees that he cannot be elected. that
he is not even treated decently by the
POpocratic chiefs who seduced the
POpulist host to its own disintegra-
ton by false promises, that Mckinley
is sure to be elected and he does not
know whether it is better to give up
now or later. He has this coHsola-
ton. the Popocrlts who have sold him
and his party out of house and home
are not in it.

There is growing conviction that
the great western states are in out

Pecans Scarce

The pecan crop is ripening in

1t is much to be regretted that Par

1t was not a nice thing for Bryan
to say when he came east, that he
came into the enemy's country, but it
was true as events show. He has
found curious crowds and few sym
pathiZers in that east, but he has
found nothing on which to build a
hope that he can carry a single
northern state east of the Mississippi,
or a certainty of carrying one east
of the Missouri. When the bets are
even in Wall street that he cannot
carry New York, is it any wonder
that McKinley's plurality in that
state is rated at over a quarter of a
million and that bets are six TO one
that the Ohio man carries the state.
