Bryan. People do not understand that
the republican majority in those two
states was greater than at any time in
the history Of the country except In
1896. The reason for the great major
| ity of that year was that the demo-
Gratis were without organization and In
many instances Were completely de-
moralized. They failed to vote and the.
republicans consequently carried all.
the New England states by increases
majorities. The sound business inter
ests OF the country will never support

cherished by the republican party,

Sir Walter Gilbey, noted English.
authority on horse subjects. has pub
| licly argued in favor of the small horse
for the English cavalry. He thinks.
that recent experience in South Africa
has proved the advantages of the small
horse for cavalry use where scant RAJ
tons are supplied and hard work re-
quired. He advocates breeding from
Arabian sires. Here is pointer for
our western farmers. With the broncho
| mare and her hereditary powers Of ems
durance to start with. some careful
breeding ought to produce the ideal
cavalry horse. When nations war IL
war they must let the United States
furnish the horses and the mules and
the meat and fodder for both man and
beast.
