A. W. Smith, the Republican can
dldate for governor, said in his speech
Monday night that it took churches,
schools and Y. NJ. G. AS to make Re,
publicans, but it took nothing To
make Democrats and only took chinch
DugS and hot winds to make calamity
hOwlerS. If Mr.. Smith thinks he can
make votes by such language. he will
find himself mistaken when the votes
are counted out. He will find that
the Democrats have too much
refinement and respect for
themselves, their families and
their country than to vote for such a
blatherSkite for governor as he proyed
himself to be. His speech not only
drove every Democrat who had any
respect for himself into voting for
Lewelling, but he drove many Repub.
LEANS into doing the same thing
The Republicans would make votes
ror themselves if they would put a
sticking plaster over Smiths mouth
and send him back to his farm until
after election. 1t may not take any,

gentleman will find that it will take

Discussion at ArgOnia.

The discussion at ArgOnla between
n. I. Pool and C. D. Burnette Satur-
day night upon finance was ably han
died, ending in a glorious victory for
the Peoples party.
Mr.. Pool stuck to his subject and
gave arguments that were undispu-
table by his opponent. He took the
great financial subjects Of the day
and disposed of them in an eloquent
and able manner, while Mr.. Brunette
touched the subject but slightly, leav-
ing out the contraction of the cur
rency. He had the unadulterated
gall to tell us that there is more mon
ey in circulation today than ever in
the previous history Of the United
States. He also told us that we are
in the most prosperous condition of
our history, but failed to give the rea-
son that wheat is worth IS cents per
bushel, and strikes and riots are so
numerous. He had the audacity to
pray to Almighty God to bless the
Republican congress and the Repub-
llcan party for our prosperity.
Dear reader, better say, God have
mercy on the Republican party and
the Republican congress, that he may
not smite them down like Ananias of
old when he sold the land and lied to
the apostle, the same as the Republi-
can party have to the people.
God has given us a grand continent
and productive soil, with an undu-
lating surface, calculated to make a
prosperous and generous people, but
by the concentration of the wealth of
our country into the hands of the few.
