TWO OF 4 KIND.

Bryan, beaten in 1896 by COL, =
80 votes and in 1900 by $40, :
100 votes, is again put up for
the presidency, despite his rec
ord of defeat. To be consistent,
the Democratic party has associ-
ated with him, and charged with
the specific task of carrying
Indiana, a twice defeated can
didate for governor of that state.
John w. Kern fell 25, 163 votes
short of success in 1900 and
"a, 1854 in 1904, and these are the
two worst defeats ever sustained
by Hoosier gubernatorial can
didate. His experience in public

quests for higher Office. New

Buffalo" William, who gained
his early reputation by ruthlessly
slaughtering the noblest game
the American plains ever knew
as hired butcher-and his later
reputation as a gay Lothario of
68 or 70 years, has a wild
West" show in Grand Junction
some time next month. William,
following the lead of bigger
showmen, sends about yard of
copy advertising the event to
surrounding newspapers, accom-
panied by two-seat ticket, good
in case a paper is shown with
the ad. in it. If it wasn't to be
profane we would be tempted to
say Fudge, or even Piffle! The
nerve of these worn out jades is
something fierce. But after all,
Barnum may have been right
and the American people may
still "love to be humbugged."
