Is to get out of debt, and then pay NJ We
SO. If the farmer prospcrs so will the
merchant, and if the farmer fails the mcr-
chant cannot prosper. We would like to
see country merchants who have farms,
wrap their cotton in Cotton Bagging. That

will hclp these who hclpus.
Politicians need not dread us we will not
forbid one of our members running for Office.

he is member of the Farmers Alliance.
Farmers have to furnish food for all

we can, and believe we would be willing to
change rations with you, but not swap work,

BRlEf SUMMING rP OF THE RESULTS OF
TUESDAYS CoNTEsTs.-Thc adverse winds
that so often chill new administration have
blown this year with unexpected yio-
lence. pennsylvania is about the only Re-
publican State that stands unmoyei. and
even here it is To the Democratic failure in
Philadelphia more than to the votes of the
Counties that the Republican majority is
mainly due.
Ohio has gone Democratic, elccting Camp.
bell GovcrnOr over Foraker by some 5000
majority. The Democrats have apparently
elected their whole State ticket, rs well as n
majority i'll each branch of the Legislature,
thus securing the United States Senatorship.
Even more surprising is the result in Iowa,
where Democratic Governor is elected for
the first time since the Republican party
was organized. The Republicans retain the
Legislature, having districtcd the State for
that purpose, but the popular verdict is en-
phatic.
Mahonc's defeat in Virginia is overwhelm-
ing The majority for Mckinney is at least
$4,000 and the Democrats will have three
fourths of the House of Representatives
and two-thirds of the Senate. In MARYLAND
the Republicans made some slight gains, but
the Legislature is still strongly Democratic.
In the East there have been no such start
hhS cnahSes aS III inc west, but the gains
arc all on the Democratic side. Albeit is
elected Governor of New Jersey by at least
1000 majority, and the Democrats have n
safe majority in the Legislature. New York
gives some 25.0O0 plurality to the Demo-
cratic state ticket, though the Democratic
gains arc not sufficient to change the Lcgisla-
turc. Massachusetts, on the other hand
elects the Republican candidate, Bracket
Governor over Russell by less than 1000.
against $4,000 for Governor Ames last wear.
Such is very brief summary of the No

ing to the administration. But fortunately
the warning has come early and there is
