Capt. Ba'dy VV i! ltan s has many j
friends win' Svill land by IiImi on
the day of election. Ho is a man
of the people, Mi d will stnnd by
thoir interests in the future as he
has done in the past. He is an
Alliance Democrat; and he has
shown his devotion to Alliance
principles by advocating-and vot
ing" for them in Congress and in
trodueiug and doing everything
in his power to secure the pas
sago of Alliance measures. No
true Alliancennm can consistent
ly cast a ballot against so faith :ul
and zealous a representative. Ae
is popular and will poll a large
vote and will be elected. Our
third party friends ought to vote
for him as he has made a faithful
representative. His record is a
good one. He has done all he
could ami it would be wrong to
go back on him.

The democratic house proposed
to take the tariff tax off of wool.
The republican Senate said no.
The meaning of this no is that
the people of this country must
continue to pay an annual tariff
tax ot $20,400,000 on imported
woolens and $120,000,000 on domes
tic woolens. Here is one single bill

TALL TALES.
One of the Georgia campaign
orators is reported as saying that
when the new party gets into
power the railroads wTonT be in it.
'The time is coming," said he,
"when a poor man can stick a pos
tage stamp on a mule and ship it
from Georgia to Texas !" 'There
is just as much sense in this, says
the Durham Sun, as in some things
the People's party do advocate.
