Regarding Flops.

The Philadelphia Press is deeply i'm
pressed with the flop of Ex-Governor
Grant of Colorado, from the Democratic
to the Republican party, or rather to that
small contingent of the Colorado Re
publicans which adheres to the national
organization, says the Washington Post.
The Press thinks this change of base on
the part OF an ex governor who has al
wavs been Democrat is IAN evidence
that the state is recovering its sanity"
and further declares that "lt does not re-
quire a great stretch of the Imagination
10 see Colorado in the column of gold
states 10 1900
One is permitted to imagine almost
anything in politics. but the change sug
gested by the Press is very nearly to the
last degree improbable. Sporadic hops
occur at all seasons, but they are not In.
dicative Of a great popular movement.
There have in times past been many Sc
cessions from the Republican ranks into
the Democratic household. 1t is curl
Gus fact that the most formidable move.
ment of this kind was coincident with
the most signal victory-that of 1872
which the Republicans have ever won
There are many influential Republi :an:
today who are supposed to be ready tc
flop if expansion should be the issue
next year. Whether the exit of these
statesmen, with such following as the,
might command, would be Offset by ar
influx of Democratic expansionists is {
subject for interesting speculation.
But to get back to Colorado and the
influence OF Ex-Governor Grants plunge
from what was supposed to be his rock
| ribbed and everlasting Democracy into
the little band of gold standard Republ,
cans in his state, candor compels us t
remark that we do not think the inciden
very significant. If Senator Teller ha(
Topped from silver to gold, we shoult
look for landslide. But Grants move
ment is not likely to disturb the solidit
of either of the parties or factions in tina
| Commonwealth.
Mr. Grant says, among other things
81 believe the salvation of the state de
pends on the reorganization of the Re
publican party with the Mckinley Re
publcans as nucleus" This is Just
little queer When considered in connec
ton with the fact stated, by the Pres:
that Colorado is new enjoying great pros
iperity, How can a state that is pros
porous and happy be in desperate nee
of salvation?
