American Agriculturist: The
Denver Republican tells q good
story. and q true one, on Colo
mel" Bryan that is worth re
peatiny. When the colonel
was speeding across New Mexico
on the Santa Fc, u great crowd
greeted him at the little town OF
Gallup. aud the great orator de
cided that he would speak with
the people. He stepped out up
on the back platform and. after
bowling his profuse thanks to the
enthusiastic gathering. he de
livered himself of one of his
typical speeches. The people
yelled themselves hoarse, and
when the noise subsided the
mayor of the town climbed up to
the speaker and presented him
with a large Navajo blanket. Mr..
Bryan seemed greatly pleased
over the gift. and gave the crowd
an additional treat by saying a
few more words as the train
was pulling out. The great man
from Nebraska then stepped in.
to the car and held up the blanket
before the eyes of his admiring
friends and a few newspaper men
who were making the trip with
him. AS he did so he noticed g
slip of paper pinned to the
blanket. and supposing that il
bore some pretty little burst Of
sentiment about 1.-The terrible
crime of 1873" or something Of
that sort, he began to read il
aloud to the people in the car
Griggs courier. (Cooperstown, Griggs Co., Dak. [N.D.]) 1885-1902, 1900-09-06

He had not gone far before he
discovered his mistake, but it was
too late to stop, and he had to
finish. The note was as follows:
MY Dear Mr.. Bryan: Under
the republican administration the
wool in this blanket sells for %
cents pound. Under the demo
cratic administration it sold for
six cents. Please tell this to
your constituency"
A long and sickening silence
on the part of the colonel" fol
lowed the reading of this note
and when next the great man
spoke, it was about the weather
and the lovely scenery.
We hardly believe Mr.. Bryan
will sleep very soundly under
that Navajo blanket given him by
the people of Gallup. He ought
to he ashamed to look an honest
sheep in the face.
