ELECTION RETURNS.
Advocate.

AQNOCdle.
The November election is now near
at hand. As pointed out in the Ad-
vocate some time ago, 1t is of the ut
most Importance that trusty men
shall witness the ballot and the count
in every polling precinct in the state,
and make a record of the result at the
time. which may be afterwards avail
able i'm case of necessity. 1t is i'm
portant, also, that this result be tele-
graphed to the chairman Of our state
central committee as soon as it is as
certained. County and township COM
mittees should see that arrangements
are made TO insure that these things
shall be done promptly and accurately.
The reform press Of this entire state
should call the attention Of the peO-
pie and of committees to this matter,
and urge its importance. Everyone
is anxious to know the result of the
election as soon as possible. This can
only be insured by the prompt per-
fOrmance of this duty by good men in
all parts Of the state.
Two years ago kilograms were re-
ceived by the chairman of the state
central committee inquiring about
the result of the election from coun-
ties and precincts that had failed To
make returns from their own local.
titles. How did the parties sending
these kilograms expect the chairman
to get the information they were SC
anxious to receive?
Do not let this matter be neglected
Make all necessary arrangements in
good season, and see that this duty Il
entrusted to reliable men who arr
sufficiently interested to see that it i
we'll done.

Georgia.
NOnconfOrmist.

NOhNOhlOihAoN.
The state election in Georgia has
been counted in favor of the regular
Democrats. The old party papers,
both Republican and Democratic,
unite to declare that the result wipes
the Peoples party from the state.
1t does no such thing. 1t is one of
the grandest victories in politics.
The counted Peoples party vote for
governor is 5000. This is twice as
many votes as Harrison got in 1888,
and three-fOurths as. many as Cleye-
land got in either 1884 or 1888. And
this for a party that never before
pOlled a vote in that state. In 1888
Harrison had 10, 1876, Cleveland 100, ,499.
In 1892 the Peoples party has $1,000.
Who Is wiped out?
Every honest Republican Of the old
stamp should also give heed to this.
For mcre than twenty years the only
excuse ior the Republican party in
Georgia has been to give the negro
the ballot. The Peoples party has
done what the Republican party has
not been able TO do. The reported
is 2S4,OOO, almost double any vote
in Georgia since enfranchise-
ment. That the negro has been able
to vote is due to the Peoples party.
That the Republicans sold them to
the Democrats is characteristic OF
the degenerate sons OF noble sires,
but it is the only way and the only
time they have ever voted them. The
ides OF November are coming. The
man who sneers at the vote OF Geor-
gia would better seek cover.

The railroads of Kansas have cost
about s1O4,OOO,0OO. They have re-
ceived aid, both government and 10
cal, sS6,OOO,OOO. Leaving out of con-
sideration the fact that they have re-
ceived any aid. and considering theil
investment as slO4, 100000, they have
taken from the people of Kansas over
and above six per cent. on their in
yestment, about s75,OOO,OOO in the
last ten years. These figures can be
substantiated by reference to the
reports of the Kansas Railroad Com.

OF destruction upon the railroads and
will thereby compel the roads to cut
down the wages OfemplOyes and drive
them out of employment, is another
pretty scheme, as ridiculous as it i'm
aginary.
Nobody intends to destroy or in any
way fnjure the railroads so as to ne
ceSsitate the discharge of a single
man or the decrease Of wages one
cent. The products of the state are
to be carried away and the railroads
must do it, and they will employ
enough men to do the work and no
more, just as they do now and will
continue to do.
Every party realizes the Importance
Of railways as necessary in carrying
the mighty tide of commerce Swaying
from end to end and side to side of
this enterprising country and the idea
Of any one desiring to cripple them or
that there is prospect of such a
thing being done, is absurd.
Employees do not. as they need not,
believe any such thing. But to bring
these institutions under proper con-
troll and regulation, so that they may
not extOrt or impose upon those
who are compelled to patrOnize them,
is not to cripple or injure them, but is
right and just and will not in the
least cut off employment or lessen
wages.
As further evidence of the political
part being played by the Santa Fe
and other roads in the state this year,
note the men who have been nOmin-
ated for legislature in several of the
western counties. Among these nom
inees, are Ed Sample in Barber, II. j.
Bone in Clark, Mike Sutton in Ford
and Robert Painter in Mead county,
each and every one of whom are the
local attorneys of the Santa Fe rail-
road company.
With such hirelings, together with
many Others over the state whom
they purpose to elect and whose every
action will be under the direction of
these companies, what immense pow
er will they control and exert in the
state legislature to their own interest
and advantage.
Let the people and the railroad en-
| plOyeS be assured that there is not a
particle of danger of any party tear
ing up the railroads or destroying
them in the least, and that these
statements, sent out by the companies
in the lame of the employees, are poll
tics, intended to frighten and excite
alarm, so that their party and they
may be sustained in a power by which
they have been able to get the cream
off of the products of the state and
leave the people to get along
the best they can upon the skim
milk.
Such tricks are old and need not
alarm anybody, because they are false.
On the contrary, every me should be
alarmed at the efforts of the great
corporations to fasten their fangs
deeper into the vitals of the people,
and stop them.
The railroad companies of Kansas
mean to employ every means, fair
and unfair, expend money and urge
and coerce every emplOye to sustain
the Republican ticket this year, in
order that that party may be put in
power and control and thereby to fur
ther entrench and enrich themselves
by so doing, as they have done hereto
fore. 1t behoOves every man who
would stand up or Kansas to defeat
them, because such methods in gov
ernment is absolutely dangerous.

Once upon 6 time, says Harper's Young Peo-
pie, the creatures living with farmer grew
tired OF s-rvin. him, and one and ali deserted
him. Cow and horse. cock and hen. duck and
goose left his dwelling Only the dog remained
behind, faithful 10 his master.
They wandered about all day long in COM

hut In the forest, they entered in and took Dos

still warm ashes on the hearth. Horse and COW
stretc ed themselves on some loose straw in one
corner. The duck Vadtled under a bench, the
goose under a table, the zen flew up on top OF a
cupboard, the cock on the chimn y-pi 'ce. Just
as they had comfortably settled themselves for

GIN. sssvsnso1,s Letter.

a strong point in Gen. Stevenson's letter
Of acceptance, the full text of which was
published in the MORNING News yesterday,
Is the sta enient that the threatened force
bill legislation has had very depressing
effect in all the southern states he has
visited during the present campaign. Under
the admiuist alton Of Mr. Cleveland the
greatest business activity prevailed through
out the southern states. immigration
flo we'd Into them and nor bern men made
large Investments in them. Everywhere
there was confidence with respect to the
future.
Under the Harrison administration there
has been a change. Immigration has almost
ceased, and northern capital is not being
invested in southern enterprises. Gen.
Stevenson has visited eight states. and has
talked freely with the people with whom
he came IN contact The general opinion
is that the change is due to the fear Of
force bill legislation. Legislation OF that
kind would, it is believed, bring about race
troubles and unsettle values.
Tue Republican leaders are now pretend
ing that there is no danger Of the forcs bill
becoming a law, even If the Republican
party wins the election. But every body
knows .hey are not sincere. The Repub-
lcsn party will pass tn, force bill if 1t ia
given the power t. d SO. 1t is determined
to gain control of some of the southern
states, and thinks it can do 50 by means OF
the force bill.
la face of the fact that the force bill
would b5 extremely hurttul to the south, 1t
is difficult to see how southern men can
support Gen. Weaver. The only way to
put the force till to rest forever is to over
whelmingly defeat the Republican party.
The southern states, therefore, should give
big majorities for Mr.. Cleveland and the
democ ATTIC candidates for congress.
