MR.. BNDLICH REPLIES.

The editor of the local Democratic pa
per in his last weeks issue plainly shows
how true the old saying is, that the
worm will squirm when stepped upon, for
he did not deny the statements ! made
through your paper but contents himself
by trying to sling mud at me about viOlat-
ing my freeman's OATH voting as ! did,
and being sore over the result of the Dem
ocratC caucus. In answer to the first
| would say that | never took what is
really called freeman oath, for am le-
gally naturalized citizen, and when made
such | took solemn obligation to renounce
all allegiance to any foreign potentate, and
to defend, uphold and support the laws and
constitutional the United States of Amer
lea, and to vote according to the dictation
of my own conscience. which ! have al
ways done and shall do in the future with
out being told from Mr.. Davenport or any
body else for whom ] shall vote And as
to his allusiOn to me, for | take it SO. about
my voting for anybody who would offer
SO, or who signed a note with me, it is as
/ big a falsehood as anybody can utter, do
not care who the person is; and in this
matter / believe that my character and
| honesty will stand as thorough investiga-
/ ton as any man in town. Mr. Davenport
| mot excluded. INTENDED not to be personal
/ in this matter, but when q man tries TO
/ abuse another without reason or ground
/ think it is time that Mr. Davenport should
/ know that there are some people to whom
/ he cannot dictate. or who will not bow down
! to him because they differ in opinion with
/ him.
l will further say as to my choice of yot-
/ ing for either Mr. Smalley or Mr.. Fuller,
/ both gentlemen of the highest character
and ability, / chose the latter according to
my own conscience. and without being told
, by Mr.. Davenport for whom ] was to vote,
and without violating my oath And fur
/ ther, as to my iniuring Mr. Cleveland's
cause by my voting for Republican
governor. this must be taken as a very
small potato but honestly believe if the
rest Of the Democratic press did not make
any more voters according to their circu-
lation than Mr.. Davenport paper did, that
Mr.. Cleveland would have got heavily de
feated. And lastly, as to my being sore
over the result of the caucus, | say that.
as a Democrat, not of the Davenport type
! am well used to being defeated and al
ways abide by the majority decision with
out any i'll feeling towards anybody.
With this letter ! will conclude my say
ing anything further in this matter for
tn NIX it is only waste of time and thoughts
to answer such statements. ! will beg
your pardon if | intrude on your patience
or liberality for taking too much of your
time and space in your paper.

The DRAMATIC Performance.

The drama which has been announced
for Monday evening had the i'll luck to fall
in the way of the severe snow storm at
that date. Consequently the attendance
was much less than would have appeared
otherwise, none coming from out of the
place, and few yenturing out except the
young people. Everything passed of very
creditably. All the performers carried
their parts in good style, and the audience
was well pleased with the entertainments
The actors have put much work into the

THE POPULISTIC SLUMP.

From the Commerclal-.Advertiser
Today's problem Is what has become of
the Populists? Throughout the southern
states the party seems TO have been wiped
out. Up 10 few weeks ago the outlook
was that the Populists would poll Il great
vote especially In Georgia. Instead OF
that the returns only emphasize The
scarcity Of the Populists. Tom Watson,
their long-winded champion. has been de-
feated for congress. In Kansas Jerry
Simpson, who seemed 10 have n grip on
his seat in congress, IL ordered to stay at
home by 4 decisive majority. Lewelling,
the fool-governor of unfortunate Kansas
who made himself and the state the
laughing stock of the world, is buried un-
der thousands of votes, and Kansas Is
once more In the hands of Its friends, the
Republican party. Getting TO the Rocky
mountains the blatant Waite. the man
who would wade his horse in blood up 10
the brides, Is defeated, and Lafe Pence
the dime museum congressman. will not
| need TO stay around Washington after
this winter. The best explanation offered
TO account for the disappearance OF the
Populist vote Is that 1t had TO all intents
and purposes been absorbed by the De.
mocracy. Old political observers predict
that the Populists, as u party, Will now
practically pass out OF existence, as The
National Greenback party did In 1850
after making splendid showing in 1878.
