civilization. The natives every
where are getting suspicious of
the ''progress and civilization" pro-
gaganda as an Iowa farmer is of a
man with gold brick. The game
has been played so often that there
is not even an Esquiman or Patago-
MAN who does not give it the equine
exclamation.
ST. Mary Banner: Col. Bryan
is unquestionably right in holding
that only those who supported the
Chicago platform, which stands as
the only official declaration of party
principles until supplanted by the
platform that will be adopted by
the next national convention, are
ocratic party. There can be no
appeal from the de cision Of
national, political convention. It's
decision must be accepted or re-
jected, and those who reject thereby
take themselves out Of the party.
The talk Of Col. Bryan reading
men out of the party is silly in the
extreme; they Welt out Of the party
when they bo!ted its ticket and
platform and put Nc Kinley where
their votes would have put Bryan.
These boilers have only to promise
that they will abide by the action
Of next years convention to receive
a warm welcome from the regulars,
but they must not expect to be al
lowed to dictate to the majority.
