ELECTRIC SPARKS It would appear that Hearst is having no better success skidooing Murphy in N. Y., than Bryan has tin-canning Sullivan in Illinois. Voters of the country are waving the danger signal in front of the Bryan government ownership ex press. A British lordling declares he will marry the chorus girl of his choice if Pa cuts eff his allowance. Would not oet anything on this, though, without consulting tne lady in the case. Most chorus girls are from Missouri when it comes to matri mony. Public ownership is next thing to political boll weevil in the South. South Dakota is a long way from Chicago, but not, as Prof. Frye has discovered, if a man has a wife in both places. Mr. Bryan has as much trouble getting rid of the support of Illinois, as Mr. Yates has getting it. If you see a poor little girl sitting lonely in a corner, and sobbing, as Bryan passes by. her name is free silver.
