along. pretty well, Mr.. Stanford
replied Tom, "but it is mighty hard work;

YOU got now, Tom 7" "Ten, sir, think,
said Tom. 81 tell you what, TOm." respond
ed the Senator, "you give me one of the

The Richmond correspondent OF the

the peoples party. lie has consented to
organize the new party in bis county and
his called mass meeting for court DAY

porous farmer ard is man Of considera'
bic influence among the agricultnrlsts'"
The action of Frederick P. OlcOtt, the
noted fnancier of New York, in boldly
boiling the democratic ticket and platform
is well calculated to create CONSERVATION
in the ranks of the democratic party.
Mr.. Olcott IS not Only noted financier,
but is very prominent democrat, one to
whom the party has always pointed with |
pride, hence his present position is 4
crusher.
Virginia democrats are especially |
interested in this matter, because Mr..
Oicott is the Moses who led them out Of
the wilderness of financial disaster. 1t |
will be remembered that he was the head
of the committee which perfected the ne
gotiatlors which resulted in settlement
between Virginia and her bondbolders
and his action in boiling Cleveland is
AL the more significant because of the
fact that the ex-Presldent was also
member of that debt settlement CON-
mittee, and must have had an oppor-
tunlty thereby to become well acquainted
with Mr.. Cleveland. 1t cannot, therefore,
be said that he does not know what he
is talking abont.
Last Sunday week in New York, Rev.
Thomas Dixon, Jr.. a democratic preacher,
in sermon to large congregation, said
"TammsDy is the most powerful coterie
OF organized criminals that ever domi-
mated the life of any civilization. 1t
feeds and breeds crime. 1t is one with
ering, blasting curse of our city's life,
blighting with the hot breath OF cor
ruption and dishonor every ramificaton
of our body polite. Like fostering
cancer it IS literally eating the heart
out of the honor of our ambitious young
manhood. After trying to destroy the
State of New York they come sneaking
back from Chicago saying they will
support the ticket. They lie. They
come back from Chicago with honey on
their lips, treachely in their hearts aud
knives in their boots. They will do in
November what they have done before
and spend another four yeas trying to lie
out Of it,"
