From Indiana

FREHDoM, IND, July Is, 1892.
Having lespoused it's cause, with
all my ability I intend henceforth to
work and do all I can for the Peo-
pies Party.
[ would like to have this letter
published in the reform papers in
Georgia, for this reason: I was in
the Northern army, Company F,
Seventeenth Regiment Indiana Vol
unteers, and July %, 1864, near
Atlanta, Ca, I was taken prisoner,
and was carried to Andersonville
and remained a prisoner until Sep
TENDER 10, 1864, when I was ex-
changed through a contract between
Hood and Sherman.
Now, the point 7 wish to make is,
after | regained my regiment in the
spring of 1865, we went out on what
was known as the Selma campaign,
and in the fight there we captured a
Confederate lieutenant belonging to
a Georgia regiment, whom I guard
ed from Selma to Macon and it
happened that he was in command of
the guards that carried me from At
lanta to Andersonville In July, 1864.
After we had been in camp a few
days in East Macon, the Confederate
prisoners were all released and my
lieutenant prisoner spent some time
to find my company and regiment.
When he found me he invited me to
90 home with him. He said he was
whipped, and was whipped with
kindness, and proposed getting even
with me by whipping me with the
same kind of arms and ammunition.

cisely what the negro needs in the
civil sense of that expression. We
have been led to say this much in
advance of any action of our old
party for the reasons expressed in
the beginning of this article.
Negro supremacy is not wanted
nor asked for by the negroes. We
want intelligence and virtue to rule
wherever it may be found, but let it
rule right. The Democrats have a
perfect right to put in their bid.
All will be considered; but we don't
mean to do much more +" credit bust
ness" in politics. The deeds will
now be expected simultaneous and
without regard to name.

Peoples Party successful and they
fail to give us any better showing
Gin civil way) than we have had,
then we will drop them, and without

On Saturday evening, July 80, a
large crowd comprising about nine.
tenths of the voters of the 18th
district in the county Of Hancock as
sembled at hit. Hope church and
there received treat in the way of
three grand speeches. The political
issues of the day were discussed and
made plain why we should be Peo-
pies party men indeed and in truth
There were only three or four as
near as could learn that still hold
to the rudderless old ship which is
rocked hither and thither by the
horde of office seekers which infest
our little county. They are about

So you see [ liked one Johnny
during the war, and | had him badly

of him. I learned to love him and |
wish | knew where he is, if he is
living; and if he is dead | know his
home Will be clear of class legisla-
ton, for I hope he is in heaven.
I am informed that our worthy
senator, Voorhees,, is in the South
telling the people down there that
the Republicans of the North will
not vote the Peoples ticket. He
knows, or ought to know, better.
They have been given false promises
long enough by politicians. My adj
vice to him would be to go back to
the Senate and vote on the silver bill
again and then come home and look
after his own fences, for he is just as
certain to stay at home the next six
years as can be. He may get out OF
the lions den, but will never 60 back
to the United States Senate.
I hope if my old ex-prisoner is
alive he may read this and write me
a letter. L. d. MARLEY.

Not a Pair, bat Half Dozen Lies.

Below l copy an item from a late
issue of the Americas Times-Re-
corder which I desire to notice:
christopher, who expected to get the
empty honor of being showed under by
Crisp and didn't, wouldn't be satisfied
wi the still emptier honor of running
Third party paper in Americas right
under the eagle eye of the great and
good Times, Recorder. He impaired his
eyesight, but he cut his eye-teeth rum
ming the Montezuma Record into the
ground and reducing the list of sub
scribers from 1000 to 81. His present
contract with the Republican party does
not call for his sinking the salary they
pay him in trying to grind an ''organ"
for the ediication Of the little handful
of Third party freaks in this congress
sional district"
In the first place | did not seek
the nomination-not a single county
visited, letter written or delegation
asked to vote for me. Every dele
gate from my own county will tes-
tify that I did not ask them to sup
port me, because I did not In any
way seek the place, and the little
Alec editor of the Times-Recorder
knew he was writing a lie when he
wrote it.
The statement that the list of sub
scribers of the Record had been re-
duced from 1000 to 81 is another
outrageous falsehood. The Record
never had 1900 subscriber, and
never lost over five when it COM
menced advocating the Peoples
Party. twenty-five were gained for
every one lost.
AS to my present contract with
the Republican party. | have no
contract with that party; anybody
who says to the contrary utters a
wilful and malicious falsehood.
Col. Buster Myrick, who has run
the Times Recorder into bankruptcy,
had better be careful how he attacks
the character of men or he might
have to be appointed receiver of the
bankrupt concern again.
Col. Buster Marick may yet have
to give his paper away to get it in
circulation in the Third district. I
advise all Peoples Party men to stop
taking such a sheet and subscribe for
some decent Peoples Party paper.
1t the Democrats expect to win
this fight by abusing every man who
belongs to the Peoples Party, they
will surely come out of the little end
of the horn.

TIE apathy shown by Mark Smith in congress, and the masterly inactivity displayed by him, makes the election of delegate to congress more of n business proposition than political question. If Mir. Smith had any record to back him up, it would not look so much like gigantic exhibition of gall to ask for an election for fourth term The long blank which constitutes his record however should be sufficient to cause such stampede of voters from his support as to overwhelm him. A public official should be taught that when he receives the support of the people he is expected to give something at least in the way of services in return for it. Mir. Smith has given nothing. Let us try Mir Stewart and sec what he will do. Ifhe does not do more in one term than Mark Smith has in three, he ought never show his face in Arizona again, and we do not believe that he would do so. But we have faith in his ability and his persistency to accom- plish much for the territory.-Journal Miner.

JAMES c. BLAINE recently made a brief address to the citizens of Vest chester county, who had assembled at Ophir Farm to greet him. Among other good things, he said of the Irish vote: "It is one of the mysteries of our politics that question which in- terests England so suprcmely, which is canvassed almost as much in London as it is in New York, should have the Irish vote on the side of Great Britain. If the Irish vote were solidly for Pro- tection, they could defy all the machina- tions of the democratic party for free trade, and throw their influence on the side of the home market of America against tho tide of the foreign markets of England. know this appeal has been frequently made to the Irish vo- ters, but make it with emphasis now, for I am unwilling to believe that, with the light of knowledge before them, they will deliberately be on the side of their former oppressors.

ABOUT STATEHOOD.

For six years Mark Smith has been in congress, and yet Arizona has not been admittedd to statehood. In view of this fact, Smiths peroration last night on the great labor he had per formed for statehood, fell exceedingly flat.
 Smith is regarded as such failure in securing the admission of Arizona that scores of democrats have become disgusted with him and will vote for Mie!,Y Stewart, who stands pledged by the Republican territorial platform up- on which he is running, and by the nu- merous speeches he has made during the campaign to secure statehood at the earliest possible moment.
 A vote for Stewart is vote for i'm mediate statchood; Q vote for Smith means to delay statehood for two years more.-Republican.
The Coconino weekly sun., 1892-11-03

Tie loud talk of the democrats that Hon. w. G. Stewart would be annihi- lated by Hon. M. A. Smith in the joint debate in this city last Tuesday night, lacked great deal of being prophetic Mir. Stewart met his opponent with logical argument and sound reasoning, and presented facts in support of his statements that were not lost upon the intelligent audience. Upon the other hand, while Mir. Smiths more polished style pleased the car, at the close of the meeting the most attentive listener could recall no instance in which he had scored point, and his general de- nialS and attempts at ridicule left an impression that either the mental cali bre of the speaker was of the most su- perfcial nature, or his case hopeless one. The general verdict of all who gave the speakers their impartial at tention was that Mir. Stewart not only met his opponet Tn manly discussion but he displayed superior powers of argument and carried off the laurels. Arizona Enterprise.

The Republicans may take special pride in their nominee for Member of the Assembly. MT. Harry Fulton is probably as closely associated with the growth and development of Coconino county as any man that could be named. Years ago he drove sheep Into northern Arizona from California and has re- mained here ever since, at all times engaged in honest pursuits which have tended to promote and develop our re- sources. He has been an arduous and intelligent worker, and has taken pride in demonstrating by his products the possibilities of our ranges and climate, He is thoroughly conversant with the conditions of our industries, has taken at all times an active interest in our county affairs and is eminently fitted to legislate wisely. But above all these things it is the personal character of MT. Fulton which should appeal to the voters of Coconino county. The honest and unequivocal character of the man are proverbial. No the hon. esty that must re-assert itself on every new probosition, but an unostentatious and diguitied honesty that admits of no compromise and is foregone conclu- sion with all who know him, even though they differ with him on any proposition. Nor is MT. Fulton in any sense narrow, his cleanness and integ- rity are coupled with a catholicity of spirit which can measure the various elements of his constituency with fair ness, and which would insure unbiased regard and painstaking attention to the rights of all. Unsought by him. self and in opposition to his real desire the nomination was urged upon him and he is making clean and honorable canvas. He is not 2 chronic office seeker and has never before asked for the votes of the people, and it would be a graceful thing for democrats to work with the republicans in electing man who would, as our first assem- blyman, give character to this new county and place us second to none be- fore the Territory. To defeat him would be calamity to the county.

REPUBLICANS IND STATEHOOD The questions of statehood for Arizona, enters largely into the questions dis cussed during the present campaign It is self evident fact that the Demo ,rats, through Mark A. Smith, have failed to accomplish but little toward statehood for Arizona. Many demo crats throughout the territory desire statehood, and they have become dis. gusted with Smith and his fruitless efforts, and they will vote for Stewart on the proposition that the republicans arc in better position to obtain the boon of statehood. It is certainly a fact that is conceded by all, that state hood can never be obtained at the hands of tte democrats, and it is therefore useless to cast g vote for that ticket with the hope of having Arizona ad- mitted. It is conceded by men who are familiar with the situation in Washington, that statehood can be obtained by Arizona, if the proper man is sent there to represent the territory. That man is not Mark Smith as has already been demonstrated. That he should be a republican, there can be no doubt.

UNDER the new law the inspectors and judges of election must be free holders. It is not known whether the Board of Supervisors followed this rule or not, or whether they had any means of knowing whether the officers ap- pointed were so qualified. Tho law also provides that the judges shall be chosen one from each political party casting the highett number of votes at the last election. This we believe has been followed by the Board where it was found possible to do so.
