worth special mention is the reelection

Capt E. R. Cooke, populist candi-
date for governor of Virginia, called at
our Office this week. He takes his de-
feat philosophically, and regards it
more of a triumph for democratic meth
DDS than an expression of the people of
Virginia. He can learn nothing of the
result even in his own county. He de-
clares the fight just begun, and that
Virginia honestly belongs to the popu-
ists.-National Waterman.

well as the tar If, and it will be strange
if we get genuine tariff reform from
those who side with Shylock on the
money question. 1t is fight between

against the rights of the people, and
we are hfraid that those who side with
the plutocrats on the money question
will also side against the people on the
tariff question.-Chicago Free Trader

expected to believe, that the failure of
many banks was caused by the with
drawal of the small depositor's funds.
Many banks have since resumed, how
many believe that the small depositor
has put his money back again? If he
hasn't done SO how could thew resume?

hard thinking about it.-Nonconform-

if true, is nothing more than the popu-
lists have been expecting for year
past The populist party is the only
national party from which aid can be
expected by the silver men, and show

offer to join hands with it. Come on,
boys, the populist ranks are always
open.-Butte (Mont.) Bystander.
The gold reserve in the tresury has
gone down to less than $50, 900, 900
again. The gold-bugs in congress said
it was reduced before by the silver law
Since that law has been repealed it
would be in order for them to explain
why it has gone down now. Every act
of the Wall street advocates and every
fact of history go to prove their hypoc-
risy and dishonesty. BY the way,
what has become of that law they were
going to give us as substitute for the
Sherman law?-Clay Center Dispatch.
