Ia information OF wholesale assertions
n the part Of Bryan Democrats, and
Ehe foreca&ters predict hat Cherokee,
which gave Bryan 1900 ma jority in
16o6, will go solidly for the Republican

1nd o. silver Republican Party.
An import6nt accession to the Repub-
Mean ranks il d. G. Tillotson, Of To-
pakA, Kas.,A chairman Of the national
committee Of the Silver Republican party
= 1900. In Z letter to j. w. Babcock,
chairman OF the Republican Congress
1ional Committee. Mr.. Tillotson says
okAf the Silver Republicans are salts
led that the Roosevelt administration
exied 70 do its duty with the people, and
~ that reason he and his friends will
seaport 4. This statement is of i'm
D~ortance because the Silver Republicans
voted Tor Bryan in 1896 and 1860, and
- % believed all will now return to the
regular party organization. In a letter
~ Representative Babbcock, chairman Of
- Republican Congressional Commit
~, Mr.. Tillotson says:
"Present conditions make any further
sottempt to maintain a silver party or
eanisation ! mere farce and with chang
"a cOnditions come changed political re-
oationa.
1T appears to me that the Demo
cratic party has forfeited its claim upon
MI voters except such as vote the ticket
from tradition. Indeed, the only Demo
frat who in q generation has stood for
n idea is constrained to admit that the
candidate OF his party is the beneficiary
~ y fraud practiced upon the convention
which nominated him.
s'Ihs Democratic party, through its
attitude and the attitude Of its candi-
1nees, admits that the Republican party
q right on the money question. 1t ad-
1nits that the Republican party has per-
Goeted the legislation needed for con-
trolling the trusts and monopolies, . per-
1octfon that che Republican party itself
1as never claimed. It admits that, II
onccooaful, nothing Ia the way Of tariff
eoGxnlation can be effected except such
~ 10y be approved BY the Republican
oaxty, vt it seeks to make tariff tink-
