The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1900-08-28
It has been almost like winter
for several days past.

DOr Stewart OF Nevada Will sup
port Mckinley serves to empha-
size the real issue of the cam
paign-the man or the dollar.
On that issue, and it comprises
every other real question at
stake, there could be no doubt as
to which banner would have the
affection of Senator Stewart.
Professedly friend of bimetaI-
lism, he declares ne cannot sup
port Bryan, because, according
to Stewards idea, Mr.. Bryan
does not stand for free silver.
Privately expressing contempt
for Mckinley, he is avowedly a
friend of imperilism and declares
he must give his allegiance to
the party of forcible annexation
and in this he is evidently sin
cere. But if Senator Stewart
had told all the truth, he would
have said that the Southern
Pacific railroad will no longer
tolerate even a semblance of
sympathy for free silver, limita-
ton of trusts or popular govern
ment, and Senator Stewart is
only obeying the orders of the
corporation that elected him in
deserting his constituents of the
Hanna camp. Having been elect
ed on the supposition that he
was a bimetallist, and even then
winning by the narrowest of
margins, his betrayal of Nevada
is but the natural sequence of
the mans whole political career.
He hae gone where ne belongs,
and the democratic party is well
rid of him.-Salt Lake Herald.

the little boy, who takes part in
nearly all the plays. This is the
best troupe without question that
has every visited Custer county,
and all its members did remark
ably well throughout, but Robt.
Buchanan, the manager, is by
far the best IN the company.
The company consists ladies and
gentlemen of high order and are
very pleasant people. 1t was a
rare treat TO our people, and the
way they crowded the large hall
every night was proof that they
appreciated the different plays
to a marked degree. To say
which one of the plays was the
best would be a difficult thing to
do, for all were good. 1t would
also depend whether you prefer
red drama or comedy. They
make an entire change of pro-
gram each night. During the
six nights engagement here they
did not repeat single thing. To
