ANOTHER COLORADO
PAPER IN LINE

The Boulder County (Colo.)
Herald has decided to support
the Mckinley administrator.
The Herald left the Republican
party in 1896. It says:
"on the issue of imperial
ism,' which is a misnomer, the
Herald believes in standing by
the present administration. 1t
believes in the light of events
that the administration is pur-
suing the proper course. 1t
looks upon the cry OF imperial
ism as a foolish play upon
words which should not be in
dorsed at the polls. The Herald
has the highest admiration for
Mr.. Bryan. 1t believes him to
be sincere, but it also believes
him to be in error in this in
stance. Further than that the
cry Of free silver still has an eff
feet upon the business interests
Of the East similar to the shak-
ing Of a red rag at a bull. The
fear Of IL would so brighten bust
ness interests as to cause a fnan-
cial collapse equal to, II not
greater in extent to, that Of
1898"

SILVER REPUBLICANS
RETURN TO THE FOLD

Col. A. W. Hogle; Capt. A.
Med. Brooks, Teller candidate for
sheriff in 1899; Senator Thomas,
William E. Bates, L. A. Lang,
W. S. Mayfreed and two hun
dred other Silver Republicans of
Denver have organized a
straight-out Republican club and
will support the administration
of President Mckinley. Their
reasons are:
"The Silver Republican party
cannot live beyond the present
campaign. The Democrats now
use its friends, not to advance
the cause of binetallism but sim
ply and only &c elect Democrats
to Office, and in Arapahoe county
to elect a ticket that Is not cred
liable to any party. We, there
fore, hereby unite to form re-
united Republican club in Ara
pahoe county to assist in the cleo
ton Of the Republican ticket this
fall.~

GENERAL LEW WALLACE
OUT FOR MCKINLEY

"Finally, am opposed to MI.
Bryan, as I hold him directly re-
sponsible for the death of every
one Of the brave American SOL
diers slain iii the Philippines.
It is the encouragement held out
to the rebels by MI. Bryan and
others of his ilk that keeps up
the struggle there. The war was
over, but the sympathy and
promises held ont by Mr. Bryan
have caused the fighting to break
out afresh, and it will from this
time until concluded be fraught
with mere disaster to our boys,
for they have slowly and surely
been teaching their Anniversaries
how to fight. For each nan. who
falls there, be he inspired by the
sense OF duty OF the leve of war,
Mr.. Bryan is responsible. The
thought Of electing such a man
as this to the presidency is utter
ly rcpugnant."

Wayne McVeagh, whom Presi-

His reasons are given below:
