the idea Of big parade for Roosevelt.
Was Hanna afraid it would be a fzzle,
or that St. Paul people would get a
penny or SO from the large crowds that
might come?
The fact that Wall street prices rose
by Bryan's nomination was sumner,
but now the goppites say it was because
OF the weakness Of the ticket. Selah.
This Bureau is deluged with letters
concerning The Globes "bolt," gener.

This is increased since, to The Globe'a

Speaking Of the press, the great Dem.
ocratic papers which went to McKin.
ley in 1896, have almost invariably re-
turned to the fold, such as the Louis.
vile Courier Journal, New York World,
Chicago Chronicle, etc., etc., while the
great independent papers are many of
them supporting the Democracy. Like
wise "Gold Democrats" have been elm
mated. Democrats are with the Demo-
cratic party. "Gold" Democrats are
simply Republicans.

Mckinley trusts go on fattening them
selves and making hay while the Hanna
sun shines.
Since March II, the date Of passage
of the gold standard law, there have
been more and larger failures than for
any like period of which there is rec
ord, just as there were more and larger
failures following the Inauguration of
Mckinley, than in the worst days of
the Cleveland panic.
And speaking of Cleveland panic
days, Senator Frank A. Day of Fair
mont was telling us down at Kansas
City Of a Republican farmer in his
county who would give 500 now to
have Cleveland conditions back again,
as to farm prices and cost Of articles he
must buy. The farmer showed that
average prices for products are no
higher, if as high, while most that he
must purchase are many per cent
higher. Thus he could give 800 for
Cleveland over Mckinley times and
make money by it.
And here come goppite papers kick.

In discussing the Republican plat

the Hannaites have left it open as to the

the canal is carefully omitted. Hanna
will carefully provide for tho "oper-

And kind friend and reader note that
when the "gold" man kicks on the
'money plank" he is not kicking
against the free coinage of 1896, but
against replacing natioral bank "rag
money" which is corporation money
redeemable in nothing and not even q
legal tender, with government money
redeemable in gold and silver. Read
the platform and see if this is not true.
We stand for "sound" money.
OF course our Republican friends do
not like any references to the prospec-
tive hard times that come from loss of
crops. They do not like to be held re-.
sponsible. But when the good God in
his providence gives us the prosperity
Of bountiful crops, the goppites are the
first to run in and take the credit for it.
The Duluth Herald points out where
practical imperialism comes in, from the
fact that principal henchmen Of the
administration have now gobbled the
chief franchises in Hawaii, as they will
proceed to do in Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines.
Several Of the Republican papers are
quite on to the Republican game in
Hennepin and Ramsey, which, as the
Caledonia Journal says, is to rule or
ruin. Certain it is that Republican
