[ beIpipg the Republicans, and the latter
wanted 70 continue 10 the race. Ansn'
being a true Populist, and believing In
tbeir principles, was not willing 70 oe
nads a tool 10 serve either OF the OLD
parties. and therefore consulted some
/ friends as to the proper course for him
I 10 take. After consulting with these
\ friends. aud for the sole purD ose
OF finding out the facts, atiant
had several conversations with said
| ReDublfcau. in which the latter offered
afiaut money with which to make the
said fight. Affiaut finally consulted
\ with his friends and agreed with them
\ that I'm order 70 ascertain the truth OF
the charges. that the Republicans were
secretly using the POpuIist party 10 Ger
tain sections TO further Republican sue
cess. finally agreed with nis friends ths'

CordanCe with my instructions as eX-
pressly understood by and with my

publican promised TO send me TO Clay
Court House $500 more. IL this be

turn it also. / an a Populst and be-
lieve Ia its teachings, but am not will
ling that either Of the old parties shall
use me 20 promote their success. It
seems 20 me a significant fact that the
Republican PARTY is so full handed aud
generous as 10 wish to pay the PopulisI
party's expenses unless they new that
the result would help them. ] decline
their dishonest money, aud will retire
from the race, and give the people the
facts.
