Drift to the Republicans In Colorado and silver party shifts
A historical note on Republicans regaining former silver Republican figures in Colorado and nearby states. Isaac N. Stephene, vice chairman of the 1896 national silver committee, rejoined the GOP, followed by a Colorado lieutenant governor candidate and J. D. Vaughn, all returning to the Republican fold. The trend spans months and several silver states, signaling a decline in Bryanite influence and a potential Teller realignment. A secondary, unrelated anecdote recalls a hermit’s tale of loss, temperance, and drift into isolation, ending with a reflection on moral lessons for children.
