A Western Free Sil ver cyclone has sent a chill into the very marrow of their bones. For years they have followed the, course of admitting Western Territories to Statehood, mere vest-pocket colonies, to give them the control in the U, 8. Senate and the Elec- toral College. In the last presidential election these little states were a boome- rang. Instead of falling in the republi- can columu they came in with asweep for the Populist ticket, and thus their fondest hopes were destroyed. The same fate threatens them in 18¢6. This time the silver party threatens to cause all the trouble. Thomas Carter, chairman of the republican party, has the republicans, in the majority in the House Senate, sounded the warning, that unless favorable the the signihcant and recognize in a manner the Free Silver movement, desert them It and means much Western states will in 1s a the In the vote in the U, presidential contest, threat same fate as in 158qg2, S.
