Some of the papers are suggesting
that the silver party will not get q
chance to vote for Bryan and Sewall
because it is not a party recognized
by the law. 1t is to be hoped that
no goldite will become inspired with
confidence on so slender founda-
ton, and that no silver man will per.
nit himself to worry over anything
so ridiculous.
A silver Democrat can certainly
vote the straight Democratic electo.
raj ticket So can a silver Republi-
can. Wherever it is deemed neces-
sary and the law will permit, the
silver party will make it's own nom
nations, but in naming electors it
will, of course, select the same men
whose names appear on the Demo
cratic ticket, for they are too shrewd
to divide the silver vote. Where the
law will not allow the same name to
appear twice on the same ballot,
they will vote the straight Demo
cratic electoral ticket. Men who be-
lieve the silver issue paramount to
all others, and who have broken
away from their party on that issue,
are not going to allow themselves to
be DISTINGUISHED by mere party
name.
The silver men will all vote, and
do it in such a way that their votes
will be counted. Don't worry.

The citizens of town were startled
from their slumbers about fou
O'Clock Sunday morning by the con
tinuous blowing Of a whistle which
they supposed to be fire alarm
But net hearing the bell ring and
not being able to discover the fire
they were in d quandary as to what
was the cause Of the racket. Police
man Cooper went to investigate this
matter however, and found that the
noise came from rail road engine
that was standing on the track. The
fireman had gone to sleep and al
lowed the steam to get so low in the
boiler that the weight Of the rope
attached to the whistle was sufficient
to blow it.
