OHIO. SILVER AND COLORADO.
From the Denver News,
With whatever contumey the Ohio democracy treated
Bryan and free the Colorado democracy and
silver parties stand firmly for Bryan and free coinage The
necessity for keeping in mind bmetallism with brgh
and lances couched great before The need
greater than before that the allied silver force
stand guard repe attacks upon what of silver coinage
remains. They should be ready advance and become
saants themselves when vantage may be gained for thu
cause.
II asked whether we see immediate hope coinage
we answer No. II asked whether expct the Natona
conventions of either Of the great parties declare for
coinage to say No But also say that Colorado
stood for free coinage long before either of the parties
CURED the courage espouse it and Colorado will stand 70
free coinage after all may abandon it. COLORADO
wrecked both political parties because they abandoned tn
constitutional currency Of the Nation and coerced tn
parties to to the ancient financial landmarks Colo

Of parties and turning them back into the old nancia
channels

The uses of silver will then be practically confined TO IN

Colorado will stand for silver and will stand BY Brvar
And Colorado will fight for silver both in conventions an

State or National 1t will suffer second and eve
more deadly attack than the FIRST upon its great mining II
