KidderREGULAR REPUBLICAN TICKETof the past hundred years was better equipped than the author of “Vanity Fair5 to weigh characteri , ,and judge with unerring accuracy the motives of the average mind. PI is conclusions were right, but unfortunately for mankind the narrow prejudices and fanatical ideas that made those conclusions possible still exist. Given the proposition that a man have ample fortune and a contracted mind, a propensity tolead where he should be content to follow^ a desire to dominate where by reason of his feeble intellect he should bo content to carry a banner in the general procession, and withA.----and other deceptive and discarded junk, will be ridden next week at Denver.If Bryan’s prediction that the Republican party is in retreat proves as misleading as all his perdictions• U yhave in the past, the Democrats are surely entering the long lane of disaster which they have travelled since'they have lost the only leader the party has had since the days of Douglas:i Col. J. Ham. Lewis, he of the pink whiskers, once a stevedore inTOSeattle, afterwards a congressman, and at present a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor ofjlllinois, says more in sorrow than anger, that \ sometimes the Democratic party acts in a very ungentle manly manner, So there.The Brooklyn Eagle, one of the most influential Democratic journals in the country lias repudiated Bryan. Sinclair McKilwav, its editor, announces that he will not only not support the silver tongued oratorcart, the proceeds of which are to go to the Kings Hospital fund. Another illustration of the fact that a woman convince! against her will is of the same opinion still.• • • •William Robinson who made a business of bringing Jersey cattle to this .country, on a recent ocean trip committed suicide by leaping into the sea. Just beiore he made the fatal leap he remarked to friends, “In three minutes I’ll be overboard. Life is a poor game and I’m a bad player?” He was wealthy and apparently happy, and no cause for the act could be suggested. He had apparently read Voltaires famous summary which reads, “If you have not known how to make the best of life, and it is unprofitable to you, what need you care to loose it? To what end would you desire to keep H? You have seen examples enough of those who have been glad to die, tnereby manifestly delivered from intolerable miseries, but have you talked with any of those who found a disadvantage by it?”CITY FATHERSHARD AT ITgnHab]IT IS to provide youth, wi begin to s At nowishes todraws intoNOTICIand hav tered thI f eve fort and 1;W.
