POLITICAL TRICKSTERS.
II Seems They Are the Kind of Peo-
pie That Bryan Prefers to
Side with.

In recent struggles within local
sections of the democratic party be-
tween the "better element" and the
disreputable element, Bryan has
chosen every time to side with the
disreputable element.
Bryan personally took the stump
for Goebel in Kentucky, despite the
advice and warnings of the best
democrats of the state, who had put
up Brown for governor, as a protest
against the crimes against free gov
ernment and political decency that
Goebelism notoriously meant.
Bryan has given official recognition
rs the Doodle Clark wing of the de-
mocracy in Montana. An "entang-
ling alliance" with the man who cor
rupted the MHntana legislature and
some state judges in order to get a
seat in the senate, does not seem to
worry his conscience one whit, so
long as the alliance means $2OO,OOC
contribution to his own campaign
fund.
In New York the official recogni.
tion given by Bryan to Croker, as
against Hill was the chief means
whereby that notorious Tammany
Hall boss, who lives in England on
New York political plunder, defeated
Co!er fer the nomination for gov
ernor-though Coler was the man
whom the best democrats of New
York wanted nominated Croker op.
posed Coler because he opposed Tam
many's attempts to secure plunder
and pelf from taxpayers. This vic.
tory for Croker, won by brutal inn
perialism, aided by the recognition
from Bryan, the New York Even
ing Post Und.) has described as
the victory of cash over principles,
of matter over mind" The decent
democratic press of New York has
since been bitterly complaining of
the fact that Bryan is the first dem
ocratic presidential candidate who
has ever so personally humiliated
himself as to give recognition to
| Croker.

THERE is NO RETREAT.
Ay Incident of President McKinIey's
Life as n Soldier shows His
Character.

"There is no such word as retreat,
boys. Charged"
There is no such word as retreat,
Kiniey nearly 40 years ago. They pic
ture the character of the president
OF to-day as of the soldier of 1862.
Thomas O'Callahan, with one eye
blinded and one ear closed to sound
forever by bullet wound. received un-
der the national colors at Gettysburg,
is now a resident of Fort Collins. He
served through the war, with distin-
guished bravery.
81 served under President Mckinley
since. Every meeting brings back TO
me one of the most patriotic express
tirHs that ever passed the lips of
soldier. A party of 40 men under the
then Maj. Mckinley went on scouting
duty. They were perilous times then.
"All went well until we reached the
top of hill and unexpectedly ran into
a body of 'Johnnies.' numbering be-
tween 800 and 400. They were in am
oush. drawn up in firing line and await
rng our approach. Our first knowl-
edge of their presence in the ambush
was a volley, which brought down our
three front fours of horses and men.
Retreat" our captain shouted.
"There is no such word as retreat,
boys. Charge!" came a second order,
this time from Maj. Mckinley, who,
drawing his sword, dashed ahead. fol-
lowed by every one of the men except
those who had given their lives to the
cause. The enemy were completely
astounded, and. at our charge, re-
treated in confusion.
Before we started on this scouting
expedition. we were ordered, to take
three days provisions. had sack Of
pounded oats on the pommel of my
saddle. After the rout of the enemy, I
turned the oats out to feed my horse,
and found Is bullets in the sack. My
horse was wounded. as was Maj. Nc
Kinley's, and his sword hilt was cut
to pieces by bullets. Maj Mckinley
laughngly called attention to it. and
at the same time complimenting his
men on their bravery, remarked:
You have done me a great favor,
boys. and il It ever lies in my power.
I'll reciprocate"

the most pleasant memories in the
minds of theatre-goers long after both
star and play have been forgotten
