tanned rattlesnake. Three of them
died and the fourth was in terrible
agony. A party at Fort Dodge several

beer and investigation showed dead
toad in the keg. Such reports will prob
ably not prevent beer drinking, but it is
liable to cause topers to look in tfeir
glasses couple of times before taking
the dose
Fusionists are now trying to make
out of Mr.. Bryan, hero. They say
'if he is defeated he steadsastly clung
to principle which he thought to be
right" He is therefore man of honest
convictions and one Of deep seated
principles. Is he? Then why didn't he
dictate the nomination of Towne as he
did the specific silver plank? Town is
a man whose political reputation is
built on the silver question, who has
been an earnest advocate of lG to ever
since the question was raised. And
yet he was turned down and Mr.. Stew.
enson, who was vice president in the
Cleveland administration which silver
men thought so obnoxious, was named.
In 1896 Mr.. Bryan dropped the tariff
question which he had previously
thought so important to take up the
silver issue. If he was sincere and
honest how was that done? His friends
persistently ignore his record.
