tee meeting before election was held

That Fragrant Hill Meeting

To the Editor OF the nEFLEC ron.
FRAGRANT HILL, Oct. 27-In the
Monitor Of Oct. 20 appeared what
was purpOrted TO be an account of the
meeting in Fragrant Hill school house
Oct 10, over the signature of X. had
intended to spare Fragrant IIill the
modification of having published to
the world this one blot upon her other
wise bright history, but since this
Peoples Party bloated blatherskite
insists on Haunting their infamy to the
world by rushing into print discretion
ceases to he virtue.
As to those "forty Peck Collier
Republican votes" will remind Y
that he laughs best who laughs last.
They arc already Matched aud still
more 10 follow in time to lay "Staud
up for Kansas" eggs on the eighth.
The Misrepresentation of Republican
voters present charge to the ignorance
of the author and pass on.
The "series OF questions'h he refers to
was simply premeditated attempt to
break up the meeting. Premeditated
as was shown by the systematic pro
ceedings.
The disturbance consisted of yelling,
hooting, boisterous laughter aui asking
questions many of which were not
germane to the subject. Others were
repeated three or four times after the
| speaker had answered them. At other
times boisterous controversies were
held between different members Of the
disturbers utterly regardless Of the
rights of The speaker. This is in line
with their system of campaign
throughout.
One Of their candidates in a public
speech at this place advised his hearers
to not go near the Republican speakers.
They prate of educational campaign.
9. f. Collier and the writer have a
standing challenge for any Populist Of
this township, who has educational
aspirations to meet us at any time or
place for politico-elucational purposes,
30 far they have failed to materalize.
l have lived here over twenty two
years. l have attended meetings of
every political shade for nearly a
quarter of a century, We haye always
prided ourselves on our quiet and
peaceable elections and meetings of
every kind.
1t remained for the Peoples Party to
make the first disturbance. Peoples
Party! Shades Of Cicero what a
misnomerl 1t should be called Hood
ums Party.
In intolerance is their strength
Mud singing is their argument. Claim
ing to be reform party, they advocate
the exploded fallacies of the dark
ages. Shouting for equal rights to all
they boycott public meetings OF gag
the speaker. Clamoring for Justice
they condemn without hearing.
Denying the rights of others they
think they should be called to rule the
nation.

order, and the others closely punched

Poet Scout had moved up to third place.
AT the last turn Poet Scout was given
his head and came forward with rush
and took first place. Ida Pickwick was
fourth. Coming down the stretch Poet
Scout still led, and his many hackers
cheered themselves hoarse and urged
him on with cries. AT the last sixteenth
Bolg0wan and Ida Pickwick caught
Poet Scout. and together. head and
