By-the-way, when the People held
their county convention here did Pap
Hayward bring in his resolution
against the "Corkus SYSTEM" that he
introduced with such a flourish last
year? We didn't observe it in the
published platform.

The Peoples party emphatically de-
clared that it would not support any
candidate who would accept nomin-
alton from either of the old parties.
Mr.. Lieurance and Mr.. Purdom have
both accepted nomination from the
Democratic party. What is the Poo

~
When Bro. Lieurance is out calling
on the people," does he urge them to
support the straight Peoples ticket or
does he solicit their ballot for the
straight Democratic ticket, or does he
ask them to vote for him and take
their choice among the other fellows?
In other words does he talk ''princi-
plesr or "spiles?"
P. s. Ditto Bro. Purdom.

II am not going to vote for Mr.. Eek
ley because he is drawing a big pen
sion and don't need any salary" re-
marked citizen the other day. But"
replied a friend, "Mr. Eckley is not
drawing pension" "Well then,"
remarked the citizen, II shall not vote
for him because he is blanked fool
for not doing it." So it is pretty evil
dent that there is one vote that Mr..
Eckley cannot hope to get, whether he
does or does not draw pension. But
it is about the only one we have heard
of.

Entporia Republican: I'd hate to
be yaller dog with can tied to my
tail; I'd hate to be a snake or frog, 1
wouldn't be a snail; I wouldn't like to
be a tramp, to be despised and kicked;
l wouldn't be a postage stamp to be
gummed up and licked; I'd hate to be
a stove pipe hat all battered at the
top; I'd hate to be too lean or fat, or
be a dudish fop; wouldn't be a street
car mule to trot my life away;
wouldn't be crank or fool, a Ounce
or popiDjay, But worst of all I'd hate
to be in such year as this, a howler
of calamity for men of sense to hiss.

When a man gets up before con-
vention and publicly declares himself
a member Of the party that has just
him, avows his full en-
dorsement of the platform it has
adopted and declares that he has not
accepted the nomination of any other
a man does this, and
then goes around privately among the
members of another party and tells
them that they are to pay no attention
to what he said to the other fellows,
that he is just as loyal an old party
man as lie ever was; when a man does
that is he worthy of the support of
either party?

my mind to do that have felt peace
