Republicans, DO Your DUTY

The recent State elections in the
South show that the enormous strength
claimed there for the Peoples party for
the past year or SO does not exist.
More than that, the defeat Of Watson
tor reelection to Congress from the
Tenth Georgia District shows that its
voting strength is less than it was two
years ago. These facts are worth tho
most careful consideration by voters OF
the Western and Northwestern States.
The Peoples party campaign is being
pushed in the normally Republican
btates Of those sections, not for the sake
bf that party, but for the benefit of the
Democrats. They expect to reap the
psufruct Of the movement. The Demo-
cratic National Committee understands
July that, with all the discordant fac
tors in the party in New York, they can
not hope to carry that States electoral
vote. They know. too, that they must
have New York in order to win.

in these twenty years of Republican
protection of $50, 900, 900, 900, or over
double the entire growth of the pre-
vious $50 years. We are now able to
carry the comparison ten years fur
ther, through the disclosures Of an
other decennial census. 1t appears
that the property of the United
States has been still further increased

Mrs. Lease for HARRISON.


Mrs. Lease, who has been the COM
the country, has announced her deter
mination to throw her influence for the
success OF the Republican electoral
ticket in Kansas.
Mrs. Lease announces that this
course has been dictated by the prog.
ress of events. Her trip through the
South has convinced her that there ia
no possibility Of breaking the solid
South, and she is now convinced that
vote for Weaver in the Western
States is vote for Cleveland and the
success of the Democratic ticket.
Mrs. Lease is IN honest woman, and
acknowledges the inevitable result of q
continuation OF the canvass in the West.
She knows that the most disastrous oc-
currence that can bcfall the country is
the election Of Grover Cleveland, and as
that is the only result that can follow
the success of the Weaver ticket in the
West, she promptly abandons what she
knows is lost cause and will take tho
most effective steps possible to secure
the defeat OF Cleveland by giving her
support to the Republican electors.
This is in marked contrast with the
conduct Of Weaver himself. While she
admits that there is no hope of CARVING
q single Southern State. and conse-
quently no hope of the election of MI.
Weaver, he is still asserting his strength
in the South, and insisting upon the
possibility Of his election. It is not
possible that q man of his political ex-
perience can believe this, and his con-
tinued assertions go far to confirm the
belief that his candidacy is the result Of
