COL ORADO AND MONTANA.

The Denver Republican says chat after
a careful anv it has reached the con-
clusion that in Colorado ninety-nine sill
yer republicans out of every one hun-
dred have returned to the republican
ranks. The Inter Mountain believes that
to be a correct statement. 1t is true of
the silver republicans in Montana. There
is but one silver republican paper in
the state, the Livingston Enterprise, a
very bright paper conducted by a good
man, yet we do not think it believes in
its own cause and we distinctly challenge
it to name a single prominent silver re-
publican or to publish the names of a
dozen silver republicans in the state of
Montana-that is of men who believe in
the old silver republican platform and are
not democrats. We also challenge that
paper to point out any difference between
the new silver republican and democratic
platforms, as just adopted at Kansas City,
n we assert that it wholly lacks the
ability to reconcile the silver republican
position four years ago and that now
existing. No. ~~-
The fact is there is no silver republi-
can party and there are 10 silver repub-
licans in Montana. All citizens of the
state are either republicans. democrats,
populists or prohibitionists, all except
the excellent Colonel Chisholm of Booze
man. That gentleman having usurped
the functions of the silver republican
committee craftsmanship, held the skel-
eton together just long enough to send
Hartman as a delegate to Kansas City.
Charlie, on his return, became a dem
ocrat with a copper tint and left the
worthy colonel holding the sack.

FACTS ABOUT PRESIDENTS.

New York World: We have had twenty
four presidents up to date, and If Mr..
Bryan is deafated we shall not have our
tWenty-fifth until 1905. Hitherto presi-
dents renominated by their parties have
usually been reelected. The -four excep-
tions were John Adams. defeated for re-
election by Thomas Jefferson in 1900, ex-
actly a century ago; Martin Van Buren,,
Grover Cleveland, BENJAMIN Harrison.
Mr.. Bryan,s success would indeed break
many presidential presidents. He comes
from the trans Mississippi west, a sec
tion that has never before supplied a
president. He was born in Illinois,, the
birthplace o. no president so far elected.
He would be the 8 youngest man ever
chosen as president. -
Our oldest president at the time Of his
Inauguration was William. Henry Har-
rison (sixty-eis }. Buchanan was
sixty-six, Taylor sixty-five, John Adams
and aJckson were each ,sixty-two, and
all the others were, in. their ffties except
Pierce (forty -nine), Grant (forty-seven)
and Cleveland, ,forty-eight). Grant was
our youngest. president on the day Of
his inauguration. a-z zzz+

dents, there have been four Jameses,
three Johns, two Andrews, two Williams
and one George, Thomas, Martin. Zach

name a baby boy after a president in the
hope that he also may grow up and 'get

The holiday of all holidays is near to
US, and We can add nothing better to
the literature of the hour than to. re-
produce the following:
att is beautiful to give one day to the
ideal-to have one day apart.
One day for generous deeds, for good
will, for gladness.
One day to forget the shadows, the
rains, the storms Of life; to remember
the sunshine, the happiness of youth
and health.
One day to forget the briars and
thorns on the winding path, to remem-
Der the fruits and flowers.

to salute the.p poor and lowly. r
Zone day to feel the brotherhood Of

Zone day TO- reemsmber the heroic and
loving deeds of the dead.
One day to get acquainted with chill
dren, to remember the old, the unfortun-
ate and the imprisoned.
One day in which to forget yourself
and think lovingly of others.
One day for the family, the fireside,
for the wife and children, for the love
and laughter, the JOY and rapture Of
home.
One day in which books and stocks
and deeds and notes, and interest and
mortgages and all kinds Of business and
trade are forgotten, and all stores and
shops and factories, and offices and
banks, and ledgers and accounts ant
lawsuits are cast aside, put away and
locked up, and the weary heart ant
brain are given voyage to fairy land.
