There is still an immense amount of
work TO be done in this respect, and in
some quarters hardly an impression

Denver. Colo, Sept. 1.-THE Repub-
lican party of Colorado met in state

ton. In his speech he declared that
the flag had been attacked, and until
that question had been settled the peo-
pie of Colorado must sink all others.
James NJ Downing of Aspen, who
has been prominent in this state as a
silver Republican, was chosen perma-
nent chairman.
Brigadier General Irving Hale said
the present question was that of MAIN
tanning the honor of the country and
the flag.
Several names had been prominently
flee of justice of the supreme court,
but only one name was presented
that of G. G. BarteIS of Denver. he
was nominated by reclamation.
For governor e. M. Cranston placed
before the convention the name of
Frank c. Cloudy of Denver. The nom
ination was seconded by almost every
delegation in the convention, and the
nomination was made unanimous. At

youths Companion.)

A lady who is now very old spent
some days, sixty years a 80, with Lady
Morgan, the brilliant irish novelist, and
heard from her lips a little anecdote of
queen Victoria The young queen. who
has just assembled the throne, was at
a ball given by the Duchess of Glou-
cester. When her uncle, the Duke of
Sussex, was leaving the room, she ran
after him, saying aloud:
will you not give me a kiss before
you go?' and then whispered in his
ear, You have forgotten to wish NAM
ma, good night
A royal reproof was perhaps never so
exquisitely given, and it is pleasant to
fancy that some of Victoria's kindli-
ness came by direct descent from that
grandmother. Queen Charlotte, who
shared the throne with George III dur
ing the American revolution.

SPEAKS AT DAYBREAK.
Bryan Is Given Warm Reception In
Missouri

Carthage, Mo-, Sept. 17.-Colonel
Bryan began his days work at Spring
field, Md, at O'Clock this morning and
made three speeches before breakfast
1t was barely daylight when Spring
field was reached, but Notwithstanding
the early hour, there was a large
crowd awaiting the arrival of the train
There were some women and children
in the thrOng, who cheered quite as
Justify as the men. Mr.. Bryan did not
speak to exceed five minutes at either
Springfield or Aurora. but at Monet he
left the car and addressed the crowd
from the elevated porch of a nearby
hotel. He said:
1.-The Republicans are Boosting that
we have reached a point where we can
loan money to people in other cOun-
tries. Money sent abroad for invest
ment must be sent for one of two rea-
SOns-either because the man who
sends them money over there thinks
more of the people over there than he
does of the people here, or because he
can invest j. to better advantage in a
European country than he can in this
country"
Mr.. Bryan was also greeted by good
crowds at Pierce City and Sarcoxie,
and he spoke briefly at each place.
AT Carthage Mr. Bryan was met by
a large crowd and was introduced as
the next president of the United States.
At Joplin a large assembly stood and
listened to the candidate for fifteen
minutes, Notwithstanding q heavy
rain The audience was composed
lart of miners, and they insisted
upon aking hands with Mr.. Bryan.
Brief speeches were also made at
Webb City and Oronogo.
At all points Mr. Bryan discussed the
trusts, imperialism and militarism. At
Joplin he told the people that there
could be but two reasons for a large
army. One of these was to serve the
purpose of an imperialistic policy, and
the other to suppress by force those
demonstrations caused by wrongs
which should be remedied by legfsla-
ton The Republican party would not
