lures and shrewd, unscrupulous fellows
are gulling credulous people in all parts
of,be State under the cloak OF that
orgapization. Miller Purvis, editor OF
,bc Farmers Alliance Herald of Mt.
Giliad, who was in the city last night,
s,id tothc [xrELLGGEXcERco correspondent,
that several instances had come to his
pcrsonal knowledge where such scoun-
ircls had appeared representing them
selves to be authorized to work for the
Peoples Party, and had collected con-
siderable sums Of money from the peo-
nlc He said he proposed to write at
Ence 10 Chairman Barnes, at Tittin, and
call attention to the damage these peo-
pIe arc doing the Peoples Party, and
tnvoesting that proclamation be
issued containing list OF the names OF
these tricksters, and warning the peo-
ple against impositions from them.
the iart, however, shows to what extent
the mushroom political organization is
made up OF the refuse OF the older
Recent movements developed in the
conduct Of the Peoples Party, indicate
very plainly to the shrewd observer OF
political matters in this state, that 1t is
10 be used as completely in the inter
ests OF the Democratic party us the
Prohibition party has been, ip years
past. Mr.. Purvis says that to his GER
lain knowledge the party has at its
command onlySj, 900, and yet he seemed
10 be periectly contented, and thought
the party would not feel the lack OF
funds in its campaign. 1t is altogether
likely that the Peoples Party manager
will have large share OF that fund
which has been contributed by the i'm
porters Of New York to secure an cleo
ton Of Governor Campbell.
GOVERNMENT LOAN PLANK.
DO you find that any considerable
number of the intelligent farmers OF
the State believe in the government
loan plank of your PLATFORM" Mr.. Pur-
Wis was asked. mo, not Of the intelli-
gent classes" said he. II do not know
Oi more than one OF our speakers who
knows his business who is saying any
thing about that plank on the stump.
We shall not say anything about that
except when We are asked" From Mr..
Iuryis, it was also learned that the
Nationalists, or Henry Georges people,
are conducting shrewd and decidedly
novel scheme, andin whose interests it
is being done can only be surmised, but
us the Democratic party would secure
the most benefit by the promolgation OF
the Nationalists' doctrines it is reason
able to suppose that the movement
eminates from that command proceed
ing from 0hio-New Yorks Senator,
Calvin S. l3rice. The scheme is this:
They have sent 4 number OF shrewd fell
lows, glib takers, into the State TO travel
about the small towns and attend tho
county fairs under the gnise OF patent
meniciHe men, attract crowd by q
song or banjo performance. They pro-
duce their goods, but before beginning
to sell inform their hearers that they
want to talk q little. The talk generally
spins out an hour or SO in length, and
frequently ends with no attempt at all
TO make sale OF the medicine. Tho
talk usually proves to be q pretty fair
stump speech, in which arc urged the
principles OF the single tax advocates
and free trade.
1t has been announced that the Gin
clnn9ti Enquirer, though they have
voted vigorously against the nomination
Of Governor Campbell, has come grace
MIly TO his support. What kind OF sup
port it is giving the governor may be
inferred from the fact that it inserted
no notice OF the convention OF Camp
bells clubs or the adoption OF Camp
bell resolutions except at regular ad-
yerIising rates Of twenty-five cents per
line The election OF Gilbert Bargar to
be vice chairman and probably the &C.
i've commander of the Democratic ex-
ecutive committee Is not very assuring
to the Democrats Of Ohio. BarRar was
executive chairman Of this committee
when Governor Hoadly was candidate
asecond time and was defeated, The
Wild assumptions of the result Of the
election as made by Miller Purvis, are
sufficient to show that he is a visionary.
The idea that Governor Campbell is
gong TO have majority as big MS that
Of Governor Brough when he ran
against Nallandinghaln, is preposterous.
The most enthusiastic Campbell Demo.
Gratis have not claimed anything more
than his election.
ANOTHER PLAGIARIsT.
A very peculiar state OF affairs exists
In Licking county Munson, a Demo-
ctat member OF the last House of Rep.
IIteSentatives, refused to vote for Senator
Bl5Flcei he also refused TO be bound by
the caucus decisions in a number of
cases, and for that reason was "shelyed1
3y his party and another elected.

nave taken Mr.. Munson up and will
probably send him back, thus losing
one vote for the Democrats and gaining
j vote for the Peoples pnrty.
{, Inc Lima Gazette has discovered n very
managing fact to Prof. @. G. Miller. the
SSanasdaie on the Democratic ticket for
S'G!e school commissioner. Mr.. Nlller
delivered an address there Tecentiv

parts reproduction Of a lecture deliy-
SSied at Chautauqua recently by a well
SHOWN cducationalist. The fact has
