Few would have supposed that the

high office by fusion votes as q silver
candidate. and chosen as temporary
resenatlve Of the western silver Dem

tuniTy for a plain declaration la favor

under such circumstances the speech
OF Governor Thomas would have been
applauded by the gold Democratic
newspapers Of the East as wise and
conservative from their standpoint.
But Governor Thomas Is quicker than
most men to appreciate the direction Of

experience in the silver ranks Of Colo

the Democrats ever made. just one
hundred years ago. They won 1t then,
having apparently convinced major
ity OF the voters that the Fetieralist
party, with Washington and Adams ut
the head. were really endeavoring to
turn the republic into monarchy, and
subvert the newly born Union by mIli-
tary despotism and kingly practices,
The Democrats turned '-imprialists"
themselves when they got into office.
Jefferson annexed Louisiana without
the consent Of the goverDed;" Jackson
went down and took Florida away
from Spain without saying by your
leave and proved himself, all through
his stormy career. to BE- a typical I'M

the Democratic party returned to its
anti-imperiaIistic attitude, and opposed
governing the southern states without
their consent They denounced Lin
coin as q tyrant, and abused him as an
'"imperialist. No terms We're too harsh
to characterize the man whom they
now pretend to revere and follow. He
never believed that the constitution
follows the flag" In the Democratic
sense, and they opposed him as fierce

his successor in the presidential chair.
They did not succeed in beating him.

eastern delegates insisted that ii be
relegated 10 the rear of the platform,

worthy of the name. At present the
giant lady bears a brilliant but tiny
spark in her hand, which, when the
outlines of the figure are obscured at

suggests that jet of steam be sent up
through the arm and hand and, as
night settles down the cloud of yapor

a yeritable fame. The idea was pre-
scented to his mind by noticing the
appearance of cloud of steam from
an elevated train upon which search
light from one of the big dry goods
stores played. This arrangement for
increasing the effectiveness Of the
great statue might be carried out with
almost no additional expense, as the
government has its own plant on Bed
