The massing together of thousands
of men makes it difficult to supply

well cooked, to have plenty OF good

man brings the measles, mumps, a

doesn't catch something. Condi-

be, from those surrounding the vol

answered and denied by those gentle

to note these denials, the populist
speakers will probably continue to
throw mud in the hope OF attract

An interesting incident occurred
at Sioux Falls the other day, which
brings out the truth oi republican
claims made two years ago. When
Senator Pettigrew and other silver
republicans bottled the party they
claimed to be very, very sorry to be
forced to do so on account OF the fl
nancial plank adopted ut the ST.
Louis convention But on last Sat
urday Senator Dubois, of Idaho, in
speech at Sioux Falls practically
admitted that the silver senator's
had agreed before the convention
was held that they would bolt, re-
CARELESS of platform. That's right !;
that's the honest way to talk. The
leading silver politicians really Went
to work for the silver mine owners;
they intended to try to disrupt the
republican party and ca 1ture the
democratic party, adding the demo-
critic south to the silver west. They
made quite an effort bat faile to
win.
