Hot Springs weekly star. (Hot Springs, S.D.) 1892-1917, 1900-05-25

A small "twister' went down one Of
our streets Tuesday. 1t came down
College Hill, followed the road past the
Sulphur Springs bath house and went
past Joe Harris, blacksmith shop and
towards Battle Mountain. 1t whirled
papers, leaves, shingles and dust into
the air to a height of several hundred
feet. For a few moments its impetu-
BUSINESS so increased that it looked as
if some damage might result. Nothing
serious happened however, but some
of the dust was removed from the
street,

Out al Kansas CITY.

1t is queer old circus with which
the mob Of Popocratic delegates is en-.
PERTAINING the natives at Kansas City
Missouri The show has even NOR,
spectacular features than its famous
predecessor at Chicago, four years
ago. though the result of it's "deliber-
atoms proves the same Bryan, Is to
l. and the certainty of crushing de-
feat. 1t was sad disappointment to
the great Nebraskan campaigner that
the plans miscarried which he had
made for the Fourth. 1t was his
the day. No longer was it to be
known merely as the anniversary of
the nations birth. but it was to be
hailed by all the coming generations
as the glorious day on which William
Jennings Bryan graciously allowed
the Democratic national convention to
endorse his nomination for the presi-
dency, made several weeks before by
the great Populist party at Sioux
Falls. But the fates ruled otherwise
and unless the American people wish
to observe two great holidays in close
proximity. the Fourth will go on as
before. long years after Bryan and
all the madness and folly of Organism
have been forgotten.
Their grand Fourth of July conven-
ton developed into very much Of an
April first affair. which was eminently
fitting. That the Popocratic party
should try to cover itself with the
borrowed glory of day sacred to the
whole people was a piece of political
claptrap. worthy of the leaders who
the brilliant scheme. Such
a queer proceeding was only to be eX
pcctcd Of the organization into which
modern Democracy has degcnerated.
And what a spectacle is given the
world in the scenes of that Kansas
City convention hall. The convention
proclaims that our supposed indie
really serfs scourged by the trusts.
that over half the people of the land
want the republic destroyed and a
despotism erected on its
ruins; that the annexation Of distant
means the end of self-g0vern-
ment; that the unprecedented pros
perty which Republican admins
tration has brought about means the
speedy ruin of the country; and that
16 to /. the heaven-born ratio, must
prevail or the American nation is
doomed And all this unadulteTated
tommyrot is inflicted upon the patient
and good-natured American people,
upon the anniversary Of their indie
Pr ndenCc.
1t is the great .anti" convention of
all history. There is nothing con-
poses to do: it simply rants and de-
nounces, after the fashion Of the
for two score years. 1t is
anti-factS. anti-senSe, anti-progress.
anti-eXpansion. anti
sound money. etc. etc. 1t all shows
that. body and bones. the once proud
and powerful Democracy has gone
over to the POpulists. What the Popu
list leader, Bryan. dictates is accepted
without reservation. The seeds Of
political heresies sOwn at Chicago are
being reaped in the whirlwind Of
at Kansas City. The cam
paign Of 1900 is to be waged by the
sanity of America against the free
silver madness Of Organism. The
antitrust cry is a farce. the anti-im
perialism cry is a bogy; there Is
n 1thinE to the Bryan campaign hut
free silver. or rather the corpse Of free
silver snatched from tn" mold of it's
grave clothes.
