is gaining ground in other parts OF
the country The men Of the South
are as keenly alive to the causes of
low prices for crops, as you are to
the low price of silver.
"They know that low silver means
low tobacco and low cotton. Why,
the people of Nevada were not the
first advocates Of free coinage by any
means. The producers of the South
were calling for it years ago.
eve will carry Georgia and we
will carry Texas to certainty. If
the election were held tomorrow we
would win there, and by November
, we VIII have the Southern States UNI
der control; in fact they are practic-
ally so now. We are gaining every
day. 1t is popular movement; a
peoples movement. The masses
have broken down the party fences,
ard are determined that the OLD
parties, of whom they have become
distrustful and Disguised, shall no
longer boss and humbug them under
the guise Of fealty to machine poll,

''In the Middle States the farmers
and working men are falling in line
III splendid shape. 1t is the toiler and
producer fighting for change and
determined to overthrow the repre-
sentatives of Wall Street. The
grand combination between the West

not fail.
''We have much to contend against

owned by the Wall Street people.
You do not get a correct idea Of the
way the ground swell If public oIin-

had three hundred roasted carcasses

greeting political speakers. 1t was
the way everywhere we have spoken.
The Western States are splend-

the gauntlet of free coinage to the
Administration in good shape, and
the ability and pluck of your fighters
has challenged the admiration of ev-

Clones, Stewart, Bartine and
Newlands have done great work for

Mrs. Leesa, the "Kansas Cyclone,
is a tall, handsome woman, whose
speaking was revelation to the Reno
people. She followed Weaver. She |
was unheralded, and the speech she
made set the audience into ecstacies.
Her voice is something marvellous,
and her eloquence, wit and compre-
hensive grasp Of politics, astonishes
all who listen to her.
When she compared the present |
movement to the great uprising in |
1860 when Lincoln marched to vic
