SUPPLEMENT TO THE
CRESTED BUTTE PILOT.
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER II. 1900.
PIThY POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS.
Issue hiding is by no means new
trick of the Democratic party.
Dollar wheat and 1O-cent cotton tell
the story of Mckinley prosperity.
Towne is to follow Roosevelt, 1t
seems. We will have lively time OF
it.
1t seems that the Indiana Democrats
are organizing Bryan soldier clubs.
How terribly imperiaiistic!
If predictions were only electoral
votes Chairman Jones would be able to
y
At last accounts Coin Harvey was
farming n farm, having made all the
money he could farming the farmers.
While any old ratio will do for me,
l would strongly urge having differ
ent one every four years.-R. Croker.
General Coxey is also too busy
with his steel plant to lead an army of
the discontented ON to Washington just
now.
Dictator Croker sits on his Saratoga
throne and his sway is as absolute as
was MIR. Bryans control of the Kan
sas City convention.
Dick Croker is quick to attribute dis
loyalty to those members of Tammany
who favor the nomination of an honest
man for governor of New York.
Mr.. Bryan says the Republican party
puts the dollar before the man. SO 1t
does, and it is much better than plac-
ing an empty dinner pail before him.
Mr.. Bryan continues to talk about
money being the master. And Chair
man Jones goes right ahead collecting
the master for campaign purposes.
1t is understood that Colonel Nose
Wetmore of st. Louis is very much
opposed to trusts unless he can sell
S5.OO0,O0O stock to one of them for
$4,000, 600 say.
Mr.. Bryan needn't worry about the
safety of the Republic There Is not
L.. IL 4. l.. .t,-,-
who would not give his life to save
that same Republic.
The Hon. james S Hogg openly
charged the Hon. Joe Bailey with con
sorting with trusts. Is the octopus
getting in its deadly work among the
Texas Democrats?
Mr.. Bryan started into politics as a
free trader, later he took up free silver
and now he appears to be disposed to
try little freebooting.
The plea that Mr. Bryan as President
would not do the country so much
harm but what the Republican party
could step in and repair the damage is
not an enticing one TO the voters.
Hon. Arthur Sewall of Maine, who
will possibly be remembered by some
of our readers as having run for vice
president on the ticket with Mr.. Bryan
four years ago. is out for Mckinley.
There are over 10000 bank deposit
ors in Colorado now, an increase of
nearly 100 per cent. in four years.
Perhaps this Is one of the many valid
reasons why Mckinley will carry Colo
RADIO this time.
Senator Hoar's logical reasons for
urging the election of Mckinley and
Roosevelt have had a rather depressing
effect upon the Democratic editors.
They have suddenly discovered that he
is not patriot.
We were glad to notice the positive
tone of Mr.. Altgeld's interview in ref
erence TO the anarchists of this and
other countries. Surely he is an un-
questioned and unquestionable author
ity upon that topic.
Ii would seem under all the circum-
stances as If the sugar trust ought to
do something handsome for Richard
son of Tennessee; at least they might
subscribe for copy of his book-with-
out any of the long-talk, either
Mr.. Bryan has not yet said anything
in the press of the economic independ-
ence of the Nebraska hog. which is
worth $3.50 more per head now than 1t
was four years ago 1t is really not
nice of the Nebraska hog 10 be so very
valuable.
