SAGINAW CITY, MICH, Aug. II.
To The Peoples Party Paper:
Start at Atlanta and run a line sew
en- hundred miles due North, and if it
does not end in Saginaw City it will
be because a little of it hang over into
Saginaw Bay, off Lake Huron, in
which case it might be a good plan to
attach hook to the line on the chance
Of catching muscalonge, q species Of
| fish with which portions of the waters
are said to abound.
This is only suggestion, and you
are not obliged to do it if you don't
want to. would like to try my luck
with hook and line if had time, but
I have not.
After speaking here fgo to Flint
FOR speech to morrow, then to Iona,
Ethica and Detroit-au prominent
towns or cities, and close my brief
trip with a speech at Bancroft in my
native county Of Shiawassee, on the
g. l have already spoken four times
in the State, opening the campaign
ia company with Hon. Geo. L. Yaple,
at Centerville, on the 18th, where we
had good audience on the fair
grounds, and where Yaple at least
made good speech.
Yaple was IN Congress several years
ago as a refOrmer and Democrat. He
| proved to be too much Of d ref0rmer
and not enough Of a Democrat, and so
did not get the Democratic support
next time and staid at home. This
year we hope to send him back as a
Peoples Party man.
AT the "old underground railway"
town of Battle Greek l had a fine au-
dience, and hope | warmed up the
moss-back Republicans sufficiently to
induce at least few Of them to shed.
told them, among other things, that
il they stili loved the niger a ) they
professed to do, the best thing they
could do for him was to turn in and
help the Peoples Party secure q suffi-
cient increase in the volume Of money
to bring cotton up to where we could
afford to pay niger more than fifty
cents day without ourselves coming
out in debt to the merchant to do it.
Just as expected, found the Re
publican bosses up here swearing that |
they are not responsible for anything, !

of congress and the president for such
long time, and | gave them dose of
the same menicine we have been Civ
ing the Democrats down in Georgia, |
telling them they had never even tried;
that it takes two to make trade. and |
that if the Republican Senate could do
nothing without the Democratic House,
neither could the Democratic House
do anything without the Republican
Senate, and that therefore the Repub-
licans and Democrats must have agreed
upon the doing of all the evil things
that have been done, and the not doing
Of all that the people had wanted done.
That kind of talk don't agree with
the Republican bosses up here any bet
ter than it does with the Democratic
bosses down South, but it is the kind
of medicine they need, and they will
have to take a good deal Of it during
this campaign.
The Peoples Party has full State
ticket in the field, headed by a good
able and clean old farmer named Ew-
ing for Governor. We spoke together
to two thousand people at
Haslet Park-a regular good old ALI
ance and Peoples Party meeting that
made me feel like [ was at home again
down in Georgia.
DR.. Bland, of Washington, D. c., was
also present and spoke, and gave some
facts and figures on railroads,
which am going to try and secure for
the benefit of the readers of the PEG
PIES PARTY PAPER.
The railroad question is much more
prominent and ownership by govern
ment much more generally acceptable to
the people West than in the South
They hive had more, and more gen
eral, experience with the evils of the I
present system, and are anxious for the
is, the reformers among
the people are. The plut Gratis are every
where, and the..Northern Republican pluto (
uses exactly the same argument in oppo-
sition to it that the Southern Demo- 5
cratic plute uses-namely, that it would
be giving too much power into the
hands of the government 10y which
they mean the politicians = and we /
meet them with the same argument
