ing to weigh the bread as it was taken out
of the ovens. All short weight bread found
was confscated and carried away This
summary method of procedure had good
effect, and after a few confscations the pro-
vost marshal usually found all things regular.
One morning a certain one of the bakers re-
ceived the usual call from the marshal, and
his bake was taken from the oven, weighed
and found correct to an ounce. But during
the night this man had surreptitiously baked
quantity of light weight bread and slowed
it away under the counters Just as the mar
shal and his detail were leaving the shop a
pet parrot, perched upon tthe top Of big
cage, called out: Look under the counter "
The marshal did so, discovered the hight
weight bread and carted it away after giving
the baker a sound lecture. The man was so
mad at mis- parrot that after the soldiers had
gone he reached for the treacherous bird

ANOTHER LIE

become members Of the order This
is another Of the malicious falsehOOds
put in circulation TO prejudice voters
against the peoples movement
There is one fact that it might be
well for lsboring men, both white and
black, 10 keep constantly in view. The
peoples party is the only political
party in existence composed almost
solely Of labOring men engaged in the
various industrial avocations OF life,
and whose candidates are all chosen
from the ranks OF labor. III such men
arenOt true TO the labor interests Of
the country, who may be trusted TO
look after those interests?
Another fact that will go we'll with
this one is, that whatever professions
Of friendship for labOring men the
old parties make, their candidates for
Office are chosen from the old
crowd who have already been
weighed in the balance and found
wanting" Keep these facts in mind,
and keep your eyes peeled for false
hoods, which will be asplentiful from
this time to the night Of the coming

GOyERNOR ROBINsON,s CANDmACY.

Governor Robinson seems TO take
his defeat before the peoples conven-
tiOn far more seriously than becomes
a man who did not desire the nomina-
tion. He claimed that it would be
relief to him TO know that he was not
wanted as o candidate. His letters
and interviews since the convention
are hardly consistent with his claim.
He is reported in a special Lawrence
dispatch to the Capital TO say that
Mr. Willis has been guilty Of double
dealing. We shall not characterize
this statement as il deserves simply
on the authority Of a dispatch to the
Capital for our past observation
concerning such dispatches has salts
fed us chat they are not always relia-
ble We simply say now that we
have the evidence TO show that Mr..
Willis has not been guilty Of double
dealing, and we shall use this evil
dence IL il becomes necessary. We
do not wish to wound the feelings
either Of Governor Robinson or his
friends We are disposed to treat
them all with the kindest COnsidera-
tion; but the governor will learn, if
he does not already know, that the
friends who supported him in the
convention will not sustain HIM in
any Misrepresentation Of the COnven-
tion or It's nominees.

il making J. #. Willis the nominee
Of the peoples party was the work Of
the Sata Fe officials, it was the most
righteous action Of their lives, and
ought to insure, not only their eter-
nal salvation in the life 10 come, but
it should also give those obliging gen
tlemen o life tenure Of their FAT
