BRYAN TRIES TO BUY A STATE.
Pledges State and City Patronage to Croker
for New Y0rk's Vote.

We clip the following special to the
Globe-Democrat, bearing date of Sep
TENDER IL:
Ex-Governor William j. Stones
mission to New York leaked out to.
day. He came here from Missouri to
buy the electoral vote of the Empire
State for William J.. Bryan, and a
deal was actually made with Richard
Crokers whereby the latter was dis
tinctly promised that he should have
the naming of a Cabinet officer from
New York State. and absolute con-
troll of the entire federal patronage
of both the state and city of New
York in the event of the state being
carried for the Nebraskan in Novem-
Der, through the instrumentality OF
the boss of Tammany Hall.
OF course, the corrupt bargain was
based on the millions of dollars which
Croker has at his disposal. There is
no doubt of the truth of this report.
1t came from both Democratic and
Republican sources. which cal be i'm
plicitly relied upon. The gum-shoe
statesman's chief work here was to
make this deal, and Croker is O at
work under this contract. 1t is an
other illustration of William J. Bry-
ans hypocrisy and determination to
reach the White House by a foul bar
gain and sale.
The Cape Girardeau Democrat. (Cape Girardeau, Mo.) 1876-1909, 1900-09-15
HERE and THERE.

The worst chump in the world is the
man who is a political fool and GLAD
of it.
F1ory has the ringsters scared. ant
they are fleeing in every direction a
his approach.
The most formidable weapol of Ole
politicians in an argument is to cal
the other fellow a crank.
How happy the Democrats of thi:
state would be if they felt certain they
could beat Flory by 10. 1000.
What's the use for a man to com
init suicide when he a go to Ken
lucky and take part in a feud?
Bryan says he has no desire fol-
two terms. Well. we guess moi. He
will not have any desire for n tern
by next November.
WANTED AT ONCE:-1OO right O
way cutters. Will pay from s1.25 anG
up per day. Apply or call on ]. n,
Booth, Lolita. Mo.
The man who brags about his loyal
ty to party usually looks a little BIT
sneaking when the topic drifts to 10y
atty to country and home.
President McKinley's letter of ac.
ceptance is a strong document. II
makes short work of Bryan's pretense
that the expansion question is the
paramount issue"
This weather reminds US a little bit
of the torid zone. Perhaps We had an
earthquake while we were in the land
of nod and were accidently jolted
above the equator.
Those parties who were so loud.
mouthed, boisterous and insulting.
were given a gentle tip to vamoose or
they would be treated to a bath in the
Mississippi. They took the hint and
also the first train out.
Another report ONE from China
of the bravery of the American sold
iers. If there is anything that the
American people can't lick, from a
postage stamp to a man of war, We
wish somebody would put it out where
we can see it.

Barnum's old Turtle.

A relic OF the boyhood of P. I.
Barnum, the Snowman, has lately
been found al Bethel. Conn. which is
the birthplace Of Barnum. 1t is IA
1O0-pound swapping turtle. in the shell
! of which is cut the Inscription. up.
I. B.. 1880
Baruum in his "reminiscences tells
of DEVILS Island a swamp island
near his boyhuDd home. where he had
a fierceencounter with a nest of snakes.
1t was close to this island that Nathan
| Bennett, a New York diamond mer-
chant, discovered this living relic of
the Snowman. Mr.. Benefits summer
home is nea by, and being a sports
man he rec entity bought the swamp
and with it the island. The former
contains many sluggish streams where
some kinds of fish abound and snakes
are plentiful. Mr.. Bennett started
out TO look over his new possessions
and ventured far into the swamp.
Coming to a DOGGY place he stepped
upon a moss-covered bowlder, a; he
supposed, and was instantly precipi-
tated into the wet bog. The bowlder
rose up beneath him and walked away.
Mr.. Bennett had mistaken IA morster
turtle for Il stone, and when he had
wiped the swamp mud from his face
and recovered from the start the sup.
posed bowlder had given him, he went
in persuit of it. He was unable to
handle the monster alone. and two
workmen came to his assistance. The
turtle did not submit TO capture with
out a fight. 1t was loaded on a stone
boat and dragged to Mr.. Benefits
farm. When the moss and dirt were
scraped from the turtles back the
inscription cut there by the Snowman
when he was a lad vas discovered.
Mr.. Bennett shipped the turtle to some
of his friends in New York. The
turtle is estimated TO be more than 100
years old. Its shell will be preserved
as a relic of p. T. Barrum.
