cept that explanation altho it was
recognized as startling departure
from regular Democratic methods.
Ifthe law and order, or Steunenberg
delegation was seated in the Lewis
ton convention because it was the
legally elected delegation, why was
it lnseated at the Pocata1lo conven-
ton and the fraudu1ently elected
dynamite delegation seated? On the
other hand, if the dynamite delega-
ton was entitled to a seat in the
Pocatello convention why was it re-
jected at Lewiston? will give the
editor of the Pocatello Ad0ance q
dollars if he can answer those ques
tions without admitting that the
Democratic party has repudiated
Steunenberg at the behests af law
lessness, or lying about it. The
feelings which surge through Gov
vernon Steunenberg's system when,
he reads in Democratic papers that
he was endorsed at the Pocatello
convention must be akin to those
which agitated the stump speakes,
who, after being rotten egged, tele-

warmly received, and shall carry
upon my bosom mementoes of this
occasion till my shirt wears out"
| The Democrats are overlooking
points. They ought to be impea-
ching Mckinley now for dallying
with the Boxers instead of plung

them in the name of humanity and
Christianity. Now is an elegant
time to make drive at McKinley's
backbone and a remonstrance a.
gainst his apathy. Now is the time
to shout that the plutocrats will
not permit just and holy war on
the inhuman fanatics of the Orient.
Democrats should bestir themselves.
and then in the last days of Octob-
Der they may have an opportunity
to rank Prince Tuan with Aquinal-
do and Washington, and shed fresh
tears over another war Of criminal
aggression, another cause for de-
nouncing government without the
consent Of the governed, and all
that kind of stuff. Unless our
Democratic freinds move themselves
they will get left. "....
Utah had woman delegate from
old Jerusalem in the Kansas city
convention, and she says that the
door keepers were SO nice to her
that it makes her perfectly continent
that Bryan will be elected. She
probably imagines that all the row
of the campaign is over a question
of etiquette. If the dear girl had
gone to Philadelphia, there would
, not have been enough left of Bryan
:, to make a grease spot.
f Sometime ago an enterprising

u The flow of Democratic tears for
the man in overalls does not seem
t as copious as threatened. Possibly
e the fact that the man is still living
g and intends to vote the Republican
IL tickit straight, has operated to
l. soothe Democratic emotions.
