g1vo0.tne opportunity that they 30 long
have Fought, that OF standing up and
inecounted. From the beginning of
tie ppliticai upheaval in Colorado in
10o4 Whatever credit attaches to the
spsts&cpubiican movement belongs to
opr rlFty. 1t has been universally con.
code04that the administration OF the Of
~ asecretary Of state during the past
t0o years by the Hon. D. A. Mills has
been Aeoet creditsble; that bis record on
tbs sQt3ous boards has been ons OF which
bic c69etituents should be proud. And
yet 0leh man is refused place on
the1s 9cket simply because few pie
eatiaG .Dewocrats wish the place and
its eH6ointments.
u pre noticed with much interest
the q rest waged within Democratic
ciruoo between what are styled the re-
osvauteers and the followers Of Bryan
for sG1Femacy. We have seen the port
fait - sAr. Bryan trampled under foot
BY Democratic constitutional conven
tion ~ pne OF the Southern states, aud
the uaosas City platform ignored. We
have zen state after state repudiate
the sesas City and Chicago platforms
0f the Democratic party. Wisconsin.
Iowa Massachusetts, and others too
nuDoeQus to mention. We believe that
~ IL next national Democratic con-
ysuttoe everything populistic will be re-
ppdiaona and that Mr.. Bryan will be de-
faetsd3n his endeayors to force his par
~ to ,Qemain decent in name il not in
reality and that he will be completely
ovestktown and humiliated by the gold
bug 61pDeDt and the time servers who
sep rsely to abandon any principle il

tious & the country and secure their

That = what the Democrats OF the
