IN THE NINTH DISTRICT.

verts in the ninth but they're from thu
democratic party. When the demo
Gratis attempt to get together again in
that district on a straight democratic
platform they will find that many Of
their brethren have strayed off with
the Pops.-Coon Rapids Enterprise.
"The democrats of the ninth con
gressional district seem to be betwixt
Scylla and Charibdis, between the
devil and the deep sea. On the one
hand they can turn to Hager, and on
the other to Jim Weaver, and it il
hard to tell which will be the more
fatal to their organization. They have
no candidate who can be called a dem.
ocratic candidate in any sense of the
word. 1t is true that Weaver is the
nominee of convention called the
regular democratic convention" but
the democrats of the sixth district
who so thoroughly understand Jim's
facility and ability to capture demo
cratic primaries, and who have gone
through the ordeal of blasted hopes
and wrecked party organization, by
virtue of the same conditions as now
exist in the ninth district, will merely
conclude that the democrats of that
district would better take to the
woods.-Ottumaca Sun (Dem).
The straight democrats of the ninth
district have issued call for a mass
convention to put third candidate in
the field and ignore the Weaver fusion.
The democrats whom Weaver can not
hypnOtize are said to be a third of the
party in the district.-CreSton Gazette.
From all appearances, the drubbing
General Weaver will receive in the
ninth this fall will equal his spoiled
egg" campaign.-Dunlap Reporter.
One does not need telescope to see
the DOnnybrook fair that is just
ahead for the combined democrats and
populists. The democrats will trade
Weaver for votes for judicial and
county tickets. The populists will
trade any and everything for votes for
Weaver. Cullison will trade ten votes,
or more if necessary. that would nat
urally go to Ware, for votes for him
self. Ware will see that Cullison does
not run too far ahead in Pottawatta-
mic. No greater opportunity for
barter and sale was ever offered, which
is no more than should be expected
where all principle Is laid aside and
the game is a pure and simple scram
BILE for office. -Harlan Republican.
When demo-pop tells you that he
"knows just lots of republicans who
are going to vote for Weaver" don't
let it worry you any. 1t is the same
old lie that has done service for such
politicians until it has become thread.

If Jim Weaver wants to win easily
he ought to hold public sale at each
of his speaking appointments, selling
good dollars for a nickle apiece or six
for quarter, or better still on ten
months time without interest if paid
when due. That would be ready re-
form with big RS or every man his
own silver mine. AS it is Jims hand
out is altogether too remote for i'm
mediate needs.-Fontanele Observer.
Put it down as fact that in this
year of grace 1894, very few fusion
candidates for congress will be elected
and make great big mark by which
to remember that this is the last time
j. B. Weaver will be congressional
candidate. He will be dropped from
the polls at the November election
anita Republican.
We think the populists would be a
little chary of their candidate, Weaver
who tells the democrats that he will
work with them if elected. Is this
keeping in the middle of the road ?'
