STINGS.
Bryan has, run further and
talked more than any man
who ever wanted to be President.
Most governments seem
to have declined to offer
mediation, either . in the
Transvaal or in Kentucky.
Hoke Smith has retired
from journalism just in time
to escape another term as a
Bryan supporter.
j Kentuckians seem to be
j
j competing as to who can
; make the most awful con
cession. A man who talks all the
time can hardly expect to
j get a - reputation for deep
j thinking.
What has the democratic
party done to entitle it to be
put in control of the govern
ment? Send answer on a
pastal card.
Just keep it in mind that
the enactment into law of
the gold standard and nine
cent cotton both struck this
country about the same time.
Not long ago
a goat m
New Jersey ate the records
of a democratic club. They
were so tough , however, tES)
the goat died of indigestion.
Isn't it about time for
Xentuckians accused of shoot
ing Goebel, to form an as
sociation of some sort for
mutual protection?
South Dakota is preparing
to do the Senate, and the
country, a favor by retiring
Pettigrevy, the Filipino Sen
ator. Before the democratic par
ty invites the voters to get
in its band wagonit should
explain to them first where
the old thing has started. .
If the Bryanites can suc
ceed in side tracking the ex
pansion sentiment they will
fhave accomplished more than
any other set of men have
ever done. ;
As Aguinaldo expects to
hold out until Bryan is elec
ted President, the prospects
of an earlv close of the war
Hare not very bright.;
When a political partj
gets so depraved and rotten
that it cant keep in power
without stealing, it, out of
respect for fairness i to per
mit itself to -be: hurried
r
i The surest and quickest
way to get what 'ou don't;
i want is V) elect the demo- j
jcratic part" to power. It
j keeps on hand a supply of
things that the people don't
jwant.
1 One d inference between
j Cleveland times and McKin
j !e' times is that you don't
I have to wear Cleveland badg
es on your pants in McKin
ilev times if vou don't want
to.
The Kentucky democrats
j stole everything from the
convention to the governor
jship and Bryan, the great
; reformer that he is, has nev
j er denounced the proceed
jings. I The best plage to test the
I merits of a party is from the
standpoint of the man' who
gets his bread by the .sweat
of his brow. Of this class
the republican party has
nothing to fear this year.
A little while ago it was
those "Patriotic, liberty
loving Filipinos." Now it is
4 4 the starving, ragged,
wretched Porto Ricans."
Zounds! what great sympa
thizers the democrats are.
'Every resolution calling
for
information that .the
democrats have asked Con
gress to adopt has furnished
an additional reason for the
reelection of President Mc
Kinlev. To intimate that the dem
ocrats are following Brran
like sheep is a pretty
insinuation on the

indeed that would vote for
Bryan.
While the democrats are
so busy pointing out the
"trusts" that are flourishing
under McKinlev 's adminis
tration they ought to be
fair and point out a few that
were "busted by Cleve
land's administration.
Colonel Brewster, who
was chairman of thajt histor
ic BryctnS dinner in New
York on the anniversary of
Jefferson in '99'- has got a
shamed of himself and walk
ed but of the Bryan party.
Who will be next?
Kentucky democrats will
gain nothing in the end by
their- attempts to ; distract
public attention from their
own rascalities by making
sensational charges connect

after they learn the truth of

The Loud bill has been 1
killed in the House, and there
are few to mourn over its
grave. Popular opinion is
decidedly with the con ten-
ion that the anuaT postal
deficit is due to railway eX.! Wdr' gruir voice.,
