the people under new banner, under
a banner bearing the glorious motto
equal rights to al, special privileges
to nOne:' TiS war Of the people
against the corporations; a war of
the right against those who have
been and are in control of the nation
al and state governments; a battle
against the only things on earth ever
born with a full set Qf teeth. and
who have all the inarmities of ava
rice without the clinging virtues of
conscience. and we are ont this year
for the purpose Of downing them and
intend to do it.
General Weaver appears to be in
the best Of spirits and health, and told
the reporter that he intended to stir
Arkansas up as it had not been stirred
up since the war. He left for that
state tonight.

To the Public.

l desire to state in justice to Ly-
man Naugle, that he had nothing to
do with the matter involving W. NJ.
Massey's certificate, farther than as
follows: Reports having come to me
that Mr.. Massey's certificate was in
valid, wrote a letter to Mr.. Massey
concerning it, which he published
last week in his paper. Meeting Mr..
Naugle on the stairway, I showed it
to him and asked him what he
thought about it, and he
says, ''Why, if you are sure
of your facts, l would send it," He
also said that ''since the matter had
been mentioned, he believed he had
heard some such rumOrs himself"
He thought no harm could come from
revOking certificate illegally issued,
but offered no evidence except that
he believed he had heard a rumOr to
that effect. He took little interest
in the matter. Mr.. Durham, one of
the examining board, had told me
that if Mr.. Massey had ever passed
an examination for frst-grade GER
tifcate he could not recall it, but
after / wrote the letter, told me that
he found his name on the book, and
thOnght therefore he must have passed
the examination. Ihaye tried to do my
duty and inasmuch as farther inves-
tigatiOn led me to exOnerate. Mr..
Massey without a hearing, l did not
think a hearing" was essential. /
had not expected to appear in print
again and would not, only because l
believe it due Mr.. Naugle. There is
an effort to make mountain out Of a
mOlehill in this matter, and l am con-
tent to let the people Judge of my in
tegrity in this matter as well as any
other l thank Mr.. Massey for pub
fishing the correspondence, as l
think any person reading it will see
that my whole desire was to do the
right thing.
l was well pleased with Mr.. Mas
sey'S work in the school room when
visited the Oxford schools and now
say that he is competent teacher,
and can assure him that he Will al.
ways receive justice at my hands.

The Republican national comm

The Republican national commit
tee has very kindly and contdentially
offered to furnish US editorial "plate
matter" free of charge if We will be so
kind as to give it space in our col
umns. They are generous indeed and
probably have an idea that they can
give our readers more entertaining
and wholesome reading than the
wild and woody" editors of the west.
No, Mr.. Quigg, the directory was
right in CHASING the VOICE as ''inde-
pendent" We have only room for
matter that is calculated to enlighten
our readers and make them better
citizens. They have been kept in the
dark too long by misleading editorials
prepared by the servants of Wall
street.

DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES.

The Democratic nominee for coun-
ty attorney, Mr.. c. J. Carver, is a
good lawyer and is acquainted with
more people in Sumner county than
almost any man that could be named.
His law practice has been growing
steadily and his work is always thor
Oughly done. HispaperS always come
into court in nice shape and are a
credit to his ability, accuracy and
integrity. Mr.. Whittinghill, the Re-
publican nominee, will find Mr.. Gar
yer a competitor that will give him
an awful lively race. Mr.. A. H. Chap
man, the candidate for representative
in the north district, is a railroad en-
gineer running west from Wellington.
He is well-read and intelligent gen.
tleman and holds liberal views on the
economical questions now before the
public. His brother from Washing
ton, who has recently been here on a
visit, is a strong Peoples party man.
Bart Fletcher, who was re-nOminated
for commissioner in the third district,
is well and fayorably known to every
body.

General Weaver Confident OF Victory
California Is Ours.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. A-General James
B. Weaver, the Peoples party
presidential candidate, arrived here
this morning from an extensive tour
through several Of the western and
Pacific coast states and will leave to-
night for Arkansas, where he will
make a number Of speeches. The
General says the prospects are very
bright for the Peoples party through
out the west, and gives it as his de-
liberate judgment from having Wis
tied and made careful observations in
them that Colorado, Nevada, CalifOr-
mia, Oregon, Washington, Montana,
Idaho and Wyoming will go for the
Peoples party nominee. He would
not discuss the situation in other
states, but expressed the opinion
freely that the Republican party is
not in the fight.
''In Colorado" said General Wea-
yer, 1--WE will secure four out OF every
five votes; in Nevada We have the
only electoral vote in the field; Cali
fOrnia is in the midst of a complete
political landslide, which will be very
disastrous to the old parties and IA
vOrable to US; Oregon is with us with
a rush and Governor PennOyer writes
me that he is with US in this fight
body and soul. All other silver states
are on our side by large majorities.
Then We will secure Nebraska, Kan
sas, Texas, Arkansas and a big pOr-
tiOn Of thaelectOrs in all the southern
states.

All, there, Mr.. Sanders! They say
you have been to Chicago. When we
say they, we do not mean the paid
agents of your party, the Republican
organs. Perhaps you instructed them
to keep mum. Perhaps you thought
such an important trip could be kept
from the people. But say, did you
get any ''bOOdle?" Are the dispens-
ers Of soap really alarmed about Kan
saS? Oh, it is so funny! And pray tell;
who do you expect to buy this year?
Is it possible that it requires Doodle

we would sympathize with you, but
we can't. This is the Peoples year.

The Republican editors seem to
have a strange impression that Kan
Sas belongs to them. Politically il
has heretofore, but now they have no
title whatever in fact. Kansas is an
agricultural state ares as such largely
belongs TO the farmers. The farmers
largely compose the Peoples party
and OF course have a heavy interest in
the state really and financially. Be
ing composed of people who really
have a pride in and a claim on the
state, they have fOreclOsed a political
mortgage and will havea sale on Nov.

troll of the state and continue the bus

bought secondhand from Wales, that
all the materials used were of foreign

Cooperation has worked so admir-

not more universally resOrted to. Co
operation will accomplish results
which are simply unattainable by in

along single-handed, when Others are
combining for their own interests and
