Special.-Frank Reilly, of the Sixth ward,
has announced himself 4 candidate for
The Council. Ordinarily this statement
would have no significance In this in
stance, however, it means that the labor
unions have broken into local politics.
Reilly is president of the Central Labor
Union, which will. of course. support him
to a man.
The union has succeeded in having an
ordinance adopted providing that all city
printing shall bear the imprint of the
Central Labor Union. 1t has also inau-
surated a fight on the street railway com
pany for an improved service in the
morning and evening for working men.
They will get it.
Speaking of railroads, a new company
will presently apply to the Council for
franchises OF certain streets, proposing

Some people are stil attempting TO
figure out how Mr. Bryan is going TO be
elected president this year 1t Is time
wasted. The question is not what are
the states which Mr.. Bryan Is going to
gain. but what are the Bryan states Of
1896 that will be Mckinley states in
1900? out Of all the states west OF the
Mississippi river which voted for Bryan
four years ago three will certainly 60
Republican. They are WASHINGTON.
south Dakota and Kansas. In all Of
them fusion will probably be brought
about but the revulsion IN feeling has
been too pronounced TO afford the fu-
sionists the slightest chance OF sue
cess Mr.. Bryan will lose the single
electoral vote he had in california and
may have to give up Idaho. He will
carry Nevada, Utah and possibly
Montana and Nebraska.

thought that Colorado was irretriev-
ably lost to the Republicans. such does
not appear 10 be the sentiment today.

make the Democratic declaration one
without meaning. Nearly everybody is
opposed to Imperialism. What the peo-
pie OF the state would like to know Is
whether the Democracy Is for or against
expansion. Is II in favor of or against
retaining the Philippines? Are we to
maintain our hold upon portion of the
Orient ana build up a trade from which
this state will derive great benefits, or
are we to get out and leave the field
to others? No answer to these ques-
tions can be found in the anti-imperial-
istic plank OF the Democratic platform,
and the reason for 1t is that the De-
mocracy did not dare make an un-

nothing.
There are few planks inserted in
