"It amt bit O. harm TO have n lit.

life has to be kind of dull" reflected
Abel Thorndyke, as he stood at the gate
and watched the young couple drive
away. They had called to him in dis
tress when they found the one pleasure
carriage which he allowed himself the
summer through was a single-seated
buggy. Charley Burrill shouted for
The stable boy who was running up the

said.

of final excuse. +
Phebe put her arm round her fathers
neck and kissed him; she looked more
like her mother than usual that day,
And Abel Thorndike felt a sudden pang
of loneliness.

smiled at them with open recognition
of happy fact of which they fanciod
him quite unconscious. They were not
used to the happiness Of being lovers,
and his face just then seemed the kind
est face in the world.
'Pve spoken for team" said Abel,
innocently. II knew Charley ID want

SENATOR CANNON FOR BRYAN.
He Makes His Position Plain Beyond
the Shadow of Doubt

The Republican financial plank
adopted at ST. Louis represents, to my
mind, the worst form in which the sim
gle gold standard can be presented TO
the American people. 1t admits by
inference the wrong of that standard,
and in cold blood repudiates the only
possible method of its rectification. To
such plank there is, in my judgment,
neither honor nor palliation. AS a
Republican, / cannot and will not sup
port at the polls, nor will | support
by vote, voice or pen the election of
the men who were nominated upon
that plank.
No severance from the Republican
party or from party faith is hereby
involved. 1t is my hope that the Re
publican party of Utah, when it shall
assemble in convention, will reiterate
its declarations of past years; will
nominate a complete ticket, including
Presidential electors, selecting for its
nominees for all offices Republicans
of pronounced conviction and utter
ance, of tried and approved courage,
of firm belief in bi-metallism and pro-
lection; will pledge the Republican
electors of this State, If the party shall
succeed at the polls, to cast their bal
lots in the electoral college for William
J. BRYAN, of Nebraska, for President
There is no necessity for Republicans
to enter into the Democratic party or
to vote its ticket in order to work eff
fectively for bi-metallism. On the con-
trary, three Republican electors from
Utah and other Republican electors
from surrounding States by casting
their vote in the electoral college for
William j. Bryan, as bi-metallist, will
do more for bi-metallism than Demo
cratic electors from the same States,
and performing the same act, would
do; for this reason-that elevated to
the Presidency by the vote of men
who themselves have arisen superior
to partisanship-Wil j. Bryan
would feel that his fellow-citizens, Of
all classes and all parties had realized
with him the sanctity of this mighty
cause, and had found in him it's trusted
defender. The people of Utah, of all
parties, could do no more gracious or
helpful act than to invest this re-
sponsibility and authority in Repub-
lican hands under solemn covenant, to
thus cast the electoral vote of the
State, since many Republicans here eN-
pect to and are willing to trust a still
greater authority to William j. Bryan,
Democratic i-metallist.-From
letter TO the Salt Lake Tribune, Aug. 2.
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1896-08-07

with leading Democrats show that they
consider this fusion the wisest course.
As for myself / believe that this is
time when personal ambitions and
preferences ought to be subordinat-
ed to the triumph of a great principle
The Democrats and Populists are uni
ted on the great idea Of the free com
age of silver. and being thus of one
mind we ought to work together for
the accomplishment of common
cause"
How will the division of electors
be arranged?
"When a man is counting" said
Gen. Cox. with a smile, ''the first thing
is to get the girl to consider him IA
vorably, and then the proposal and
marriage follow later. In this case, as
soon as we can agree that it is right
and proper to fuse, there will be no
trouble in arranging the Details
Are the Democrats in good shape|'
"Never better. The factional differ
ences between the leaders, which were
so apparent in the last campaign, have
been healed and will not figure this
wear. The party is united and earnest.
Mr.. Watson, our candidate for Gov
ernor, has already begun his campaign
and he was given a reception the other
day which rivalled in numbers and en-
thusiasm the days of Senator Vance"
To-day's Post says: * good deal of
comment was caused in political cir
cles to-day by the report that Logan
Carlisle. chief clerk in the Treasury
department, and son of the Secretary,
would not support the nominations
of Bryan and Sewall. Mr.. Carlisle de
clined to be interviewed on the subject,
but said that to his friends he had
made no concealment of his position.
His friends say that he has announced
emphatically that he would not and
could not support the Chicago ticket
on free silver platform. Only last
week, in a public interview, ". X.
Carlisle. another son of the Secretary,
who lives in Chicago, declared that he
would not support Bryan and Sewall"

MORE REPUBLICAN OBJECTIONS

Topeka, Kan, Aug. 6.-Republican
leaders are greatly disturbed over the
desertion of free silver Republicans to
Bryan. The committee has ordered a
poll Of every precinct to ascertain the
former affiliation of each voter, his
convictions on silver, etc. When this
is compiled the National committee
will be asked to flood the State with
sound money literature. 1t is estimated
10000 Republicans are wearing free
silver badges in Kansas.
