For the past four years we have
heard nothing else from Mr.. Bryan,
during his pilgrimages over the land,
but the 'free silver" question; it was
the paramount issue, that most effect
ed the people, and could not be dwarf
ed. 1t is 16-to-1 for which the stalwart
son OF Nebraska stood fought bled,
and shall we say it, died. How
surprised and panied must he the
advocate of white metal to read. Can
didate Bryan's letter Of acceptance in
which he lays down the issue as elm
perialism" and Gays not a word about
free silver" This is rank treason.
Perhaps it is as well to devote the CAM
paign to explaining what imperialism
means anyway, for most people would
like to know what our Democr attic
friends pretend to think they are driv-
ing at. They might also explain if
consent of the governed" means the
same the same in Tillmans state that
It does in Cuba and the Philippines.

BILE over the state, and it is right warm
in spots, the issue is Rogers or anti
Rogers, With the odds against his acct
dency. The feeling against the pre-
sent governor is very strong in places,
and the people of his own party, the
Populists, are all against him. Where
lever possible, the Democrats are ignor-
ing their populist allies and propos-
ing straight tickets, The populists
and silver republicans seem to be bad
ly disorganized, in fact, few of the lat
ter are in evidence anywhere, and it is
likely that the members of both parties
will take their places in republican or
democratic ranks according to the
elasticity of their consciences. judi
ging from all sources, the majority will
support the Republican ticket, in part,
if not in the whole, but many will act
as independent voters, "free-lances.'

Kinley hasn't had word to say, but
he has been running the country and
has made q mighty good job Of it..
The difference between Bryan and Nc

man who talks and the man that acts.
We all know how two such men in the
ordinary walks of life rank in the

An Invincible Ticket.

The Republicans of Mason County
in their convention last Saturday, Sc
lected what is the best ticket, taken
from every standpoint, that they have
ever put before the people of this
county. They fully realized that al
though this was considered to be
Republican year they must put their
best men forward if they desired
their men to be supported, and
they have done this, The proceed
ings have been entirely harmoni-
Gus, all parts of the County having
candidates were recognized, and every
delegate who has the welfare of the
party in view left for his home we'll
pleased. There Was no opposition to
the denomination of Representative
Gunderson, Sheriff Vogtlln, Auditor
Bell, Assessor Specie and School Sup
erintendent Mrs. Decker. Their good
work during the present term has
strengthened them with the voters,
and no word has been said against
them. From Representative down
they have been faithful and all have
shown the capacity for careful and
hard work. During the coming cam
paign the JOURNAL will have something
further to say regarding the legislative
record OF Mr.. Gunderson, as it appears
on the house journals, and to correct
certain erroneous impressions regard

For treasurer, Will Mcdonald, son
OF Mason County, with whom our peo-

For Clerk of the Court Eli B Robinson

there are few if any better fitted men

SOME OF THE RICH PARTISAN TOILETS
THAT ARE NOW WORN ON
THE STREETS.
Paris. Nav 25.

The Exposition has become very popular among
the Paris set that likes TO be amused. There
seemed little likelihood month ago that any part
of 5he great show would be included among the
category Of things considered smart but it is quite

varied delights of the Rue de Paris The Exposi-

average Partisan in the open air under artificial
conditions, there is perhaps little TO wonder in
the sudden popularity of of these resorts
But this only be for a short time: in another
month the Exposition viii he given up entirely to
the foreigners and tourists from the country
The love for pretty toilets often leads the Paris
femme TO appear somewhat out Of touch with her
surroundings. 1t is the custom to talk of the sim
plcity and plainness of the toilets the French
woman wears in public This is true for the great
part of the year. but during the two months that
the lasts in the spring elaborate toilets

heat Of August no one that help it is in town.
and il is quite true that a certain quarter of the
city seems TO consist of nothing but row after
row OF vacant houses. In December and during the
unpleasant early winter people hide themselves IN
closed carriages and in the most sober array. But
in the spring both the city and inhabitants bios
som in new toilets. OF course, the Exposition
makes this an exceptional spring in Paris but
less a charming one on this account.
