| have noticed in your last issues
several interesting letters from
brethren IN different co1ntes on the
January election, etc., and am
prompted to give a few notes from
old Butts.
We were beaten in all the cleo
tons, but we made a splendid show
ing and we are yet Gin the middle of
the road" and are there ''to stay,
thank God" | don't think the Peo-
pies party has lost any of It's forces
since the elections are over. Our
ranks were not composed of those
who turn to party just because it
is the biggest. We stood by each
other under attacks spurred only by
hate, prejudice and Ignorance, that
were made upon us by our opponents
until we became an indissoluble
brotherhood.
We could not fail to notice the
fantastic tricks cut by the town rings

| attribute the division of the
country voters in this county to two
causes. One was Doodle money, and
the other misrepresentation of the
Peoples party platform and leaders
by Democratic speakers and news
papers. One man who ran in Dem
ocratic primary for congress, and
who flooded this county with whisky,
has lately been made a judge Of the
superior court. / know of several
men who were made Democrats by
hearing a demagogue state that the
land plank in the Peoples party plat
form meant that all lands were to be
divided, and that no man was to
have more than he could cultivate
himself.
We feel grateful to Tom Watson
for what he has done for the country.
May his eloquent tongue and mas
terly pen continue to herald the
tidings Of truth until every one in
this fair land shall have heard con-
vincingly. We hail THE PEOPLES

editorials with joy every week, and
we do wish that every person in the
country could read them with an I'M
preiudiced mind. May success at

Step up, gentlemen, and draw
your ticket, and see if it be an officer
or high private in the Democratic
ranks. If it should chance to be a
private, the salary won't be any bet
ter under Democratic enforcement
than it was under Republican en-
actment of the law. When we make
official and plutocratic drones out Of
some they begin to denounce the law
of God and the constitution of man
and claim to be a better material
than the workers Of the hive and
begin to enact special laws that they
may live without work, wear finer
clothes and eat better grub than the
laborers. The better we feed, the
finer we clothe; the more money we
give them, the higher they build the
wall of separation between the
worker and drone to keep down
assassination between capital and
labor. A vote for self il indie
pendence a vote for others makes

I have learned more in three or four
months about the affairs of this gov
eminent than I have learned in
twenty years out of Democratic
newspapers, and | have read great
deal in that time. Mr.. Watson is
constantly making statements that
are most astounding, showing up the
corrupt manner in which this govern

the few and against the masses, and
| still take Democratic papers and [
see no denial from them, therefore [
have but one conclusion. All he has
said must be true; and, If true, the
greater part of our lawmakers ought
to be hung or in the pehitentiary.
May he live long to expose to open
view the many ways that we have
been mlsruled for lo these many
years, and educate the masses to
know where and to whom to look for
aid in our distressed condition. hope
the reform movement, now SO we'll
under way, will sweep this country
from Maine to California and carry
forever from power the set of men
that have well nigh ruined this fair
land of ours, no matter what party
they belong to. AS for me, never
expect to belong to party that will
perpctrate fraud openly as the Au-
gusta ring and then ask what you
propose to do about it? Go on with
your agitation and your education;
by all means 60 on, light the fires of
reform on q thousand hills. Your
paper ought to be read by hundreds
of thousands. If you can only reach
the toiling millions, I am satisfied
the victory will soon be ours and
then farewell to your Augusta ring,

them into the oblivion they SO richly
deserve, and we will build up gov

The Hon. Thos. E. Watson's name
is synonymous among the Peoples
party in our little mountain State
with patriotism and honorable and
exalted craftsmanship. His exer-
tions and sacrifices in the contest
with the political corruptionists now
dominant in behalf Of the masses
of humanity, justice and equality, has
seldom been equaled in the annals
of our country, and is a tower Of
strength and an inspiration to the
rank and file of all cur reform forces.
And in view of the Cleveland
Sherman plutocratic financial policy
to be perpetuated in the name of
Democracy, we have glorious out
look for grand victory in the near
future, for l hear the expressions
from numbers Of old Democrats that
''unless Democracy gives relief in the
next four years they will never vote
the ticket again" SO with the
Democratic policy as outlined by the
bosses, of hostility to free coinage of
silver and laying by of revision of
the tariff until some rainy day, pre-
sages a glorious success in our noun
tain State over the hosts of the
Cleveland Democracy, which has
already exposed its alliance with plu-
tocracy by the election to the United
States Senate of the Hon. j. n.
Camden, one of the most influential
monopollsts of the State. This &C
ton Of our Democratic Legislature
has elected from the masses strong
condemnation, and will become a
factor in 1894. r. S. DAVIS.

intent. The Democratic speakers
declared that it meant to repeal the
the Sherman law and give the people
free coinage of silver. We charged
on the other hand that the gold bugs
did not SO understand it and that it
was their object to completely de-
monetize silver and leave us where
the fraud of 1873 placed us. This
was Indignantly denied. But every
body, even the Democratic voter,
can now see that it is true. Cleve-
land is demanding the repeal of the
Sherman law before his term of Office
commences and will not say that he
is in favor of law to take its place.
A few days ago q member of Con-
gress, goldbug Democrat, said that
every man who was elected on the
Chicago plasform was pledged to
vote to repeal the present silver law,
whether free coinage bill was
passed or not.
In short, the people have been
fooled. They voted for a platform
not knowing what it meant. 1t is
now the. duty of all honest Demo
Gratis to denounce the fraud that has
been perpetrated upon them. 1t is
the duty of every Congressman TO
vote for what he knows his people
want and need, no matter what
Cleveland and the goldbugs say the
platform means. They interpret it
one way to catch the votes of the
people, they are now interpreting it
another wav to rob the people.

The king of Wurtemburg made up fol
the smallness of his domains by the colos
sal bulk of his person. His stay at Vienna
was cut short, owing to an unfortunate in
cident. So enormous was his development
that in all the dining tables at home he
hal semicrcular space cut out to enable
him to sit down to his meals with comfort
1t seems that no preparation had been
made for him in the Austrian court dining
tables.
One night great banquet was given to
which he was invited. In the course of the
meal some remark was made which the
king construed us Il slight on himself.
Wild with rage, he jumped up with such
suddenness that the table, caught by his
protuberant bulk, was overturned and all
the dishes, plate, glass and decorations
were hurled upon the floor with a fearful
crash. His majesty fled from the room,
pursued by shouts Of laughter, and left
Vienna that very night.-Temple Bar.

Mncaulay and Sir Richard Owen.

1t is not generally known that it was
through the unsolicited influence of Lord
Macaulcy that the late Sir Richard Owen
was appointed superintendent of the dc,
partmcnt of natural history at the British
museum-this department including ii
those days, geology and zoology. Lord
Macaulay, writing on this subject, said
that he was CeSirous that something should
bc done for Owen-Ihat he hardly knew
him to speak TO, and that, though lis pur.
suits were different TO his, Owens fame
was known all over Europe Uealso added
than he was AN loECr to lis country, an,l
that it WAS pa,ntUl to think that man OF
his merit shcrl be approaching old age
amid aDNi,ti,s ,. distress.
Owen told Lord Macaulay the GS00 n
year, without u house in the museum,
would be opalence to him. Macaulay
further stated that it seemed to him to bca

was not needed by eminent literary men or

The Inventor of Panoramns.

Robert Barker, an Irish painter, who
lived in Edinburgh toward the close of the
last century, was the inventor of pano-
ramas. In lfS5 he was imprisoned for debt
in the Scottish capital. His cell was
lighted by an air hole in one of the corners,
which left the lower part of the room in
such darkness that he could not read the
letters sent to him. He found, however,
that when he placed them against the part
OF the wall lighted by the air hole the
words became very distinct The effect
was most striking, and it occurred 10 him
that il a picture were placed in similar
position it would have II wonderful effect.
Accordingly. on his liberation, he made
a series Of experiments which enabled him
to improve his invention, aud on June 10,
l1s1, he obtained patent in London which
establishes his claim to he the inventor OF
the panorama. London artists spoke with
great contempt OF Barker's exhibition. but
their opinions did net prevent the public
from rushing in crowds to see the pictures
exhibited in the rutunda in Leicester
square. Excellence was soon obtained In
the art. and ii became II chestnut that
