Dear S'r:-It gives me great plea
sure to say that have been intimate
ly acquainted with Mr.. H. G. Bourne,
Of Edgecombe county for twenty
years. During that time he has been
an earnest, active and loyal Dem
ocrat. In every campaign he has
been actively engaged on the stump
and IN the councils of the party. As
you know, Mr.. Bourne enjoys the
confidence and esteem of the people
of the county, Lam with high re-
CARDS.
Very truly yours,

Dear Sir:-In all good conscience |
believe Mr.. Bourne should have the
appointment of postmaster at this
place. revoke nothing that | said
of Mr.. Rawls' character and fitness
for the place, but in my. humble
judgment his appointment would be
the result of nepotism and favori-
tism in politics, which things | hate,
while Mr.. Bourne's appointment
would be a reward for honest service
rendered the party in the battle fol
victory.
Very truly,
u. H. Tuttle.

The surplus reserve in the banks
on Saturday amounted to more than
S102, 100000. The sum is greatly
in excess Of any ever before held and
nearly double the highest surplus re-
serve ever held in any year before the
present one. This condition reflects
widespread business inactivity, of
course. But the indications are
many that recovery has begun. the
improved earnings of the railways
are especially marked, and that is al
ways the surest index of returning
prosperity. The great plethora of
moneg is peculiarly favorable as a
condition present at the beginning
of a business revival. When the
wheels of industry begin TO reyolye
again it will furnish oil in plenty foI

GOOD BYE.

In leaving the readers of the INDEX
the editor wishes TO thank those who
have kindly given him words of encour-
agement daring his stay. assure them
that they Will be remembered. My
work at Kiowa demands immediate at.
tention and for that reason 1 have re-
signed the editorial management of
this paper. During my stay here
have formed many new friends, who l
hope will always remain so, and have
found the people of Medicine Lodge to
be kind and generous hearted, possess
ing those true principles of humanity
that binds together the individuals into
a common brotherhood. In resuming
management of my paper at KiOwa l
bid the INDEX patrons, one and all.
good bye. G.. G. HUDSON.

AMONG the many congre, smen ex-
pressing their views on the seigniorage
bill veto Congressman Hudson says.
1T sounds like the last notes of the
funeral bell of the democratic party.
and probably means temporary snccess
in the north and east of the republican
party, which is today more solidly
bourbon, as demonstrated by recent
votes lH congress, than the democratic
is. There is a bright future for the
peoples party it it stands firmly by the
interest of labor. The Iaboring and
producing classes will all get together
and Joined will make one great populist
party which will control this govern
ment ia the intereet of the common
people. The presidents proposition To
compromise on bonds exhibits total
misunderstanding of the temper and
demand of the American people. No
party ought - survive the issue of
bonds al this time Ne BaYe a full le
gal right To paw our debts and the run
ming expenses of the government with
Eaper aud silver money. and nobody
wants boods except few great money
leuders."

CLEVELAND has vetoed the silver
bill. Well, who doubted but he would?
Nobody. Some few democrats who
find it breaking their heart strings to
see the dear old party leaving in its
wake the last yestige OF democratic
principles, and becoming the willing
slave of the money oligarchy, pretend
ed to think he wouldn't if the people
wanted it. But down deep in their
honest hearts they never believed 1T.
They knew that Cleveland is an auto
Graf and arIstocrat. Ills ancestor
found America not good enough for
him, and had to go to England to end
his days and die. and naturally Grover
bows to the family instinct and kneels
at the British throne. Think of it.,
democrats! Your party after desper-
ate fight with your lnveterate enemy,
the republicans, passed the seignlorage
bill. 1t was a measure OF the western
democrats too, but your 6ght, yOnr eff

hard for the measure as YOU did. They
believe In the gospel of Thomas Jeffer-
son. BY whom then? BY that man
who has eyer aided and abetted every
foul scheme OF the republican party
While pretending to be democrat.
The republicans could net defeat you,
hut Grover is mightier than they. and
migbtier than son. He bosses the ring.

wish Oklahoma any harm; but in try

republican.
We believe the intelligent people of
Oklahoma will make it a democratic
state; not as democracy is measured to-
day but like that of Thomas jefferson
and Abraham Lincoln. Democracy
means a government by the people and
we believe Oklahoma will be that mas
much as it will be populist. The peo-
pie of Oklahoma have nothing to thank
either old party for unless it is the hard
times. No, we do not wish the new ter
Titory any harm; and that is why we
say 1t will be populist state.

THOSE people who raved and tore
their hair about populists destroying
The credit of the state" by telling facts
regarding it's financial condition must
feel like wrecking the universe now
after the financial repors show that the
whole United States is in "A worse flu
alcial condition than 1t ever was. The
cranks who snort around about credit
being destroyed by telling true figures
taken from the records are staining
their patriotism TO ridiculous extent
They simply have cOntraced a habit of
letting their mouths go off half cooked,
but fortunately it is never loaded with
anything heavier than very thin air.

The bold and independent stand of
Coy. Stone anu the democracy of Mis-
souri,, against the tyranny Of the east,
is one that makes them worth of admir-
alton. 1t Is, too, full of promise for the
future. 1t bespeaks an era of indie
pendent politics. 1t bespeaks that era
for which all true pOpulists have been
manfully struggling. a coalition of all
the seeding and independent elements
of both the old parties is something
certain in the near future, and we
think they will call themselves popu

his salary by defeating the resolution.
Such little matters count up in the long

AT THE CHURCHES.
Meeting at Main Street Church-Plain
Talk at Trinity-Addres at
St. Phillips.

At Main Street yesterday Rev. W. w
Rose, Of the North Carolina conference,
preached two good sermons. His text in
the morning was from Mark xiv, 80
The theme was self-sacritice. Mary spent
a whole years wages for ointment to pour
upon her masters head-she loved him
80. Likewise Jesus gave his life for the
world this was all he could do The
disciples did not appreciate Mary's act of
self sacrifice. The world did not appre-
ciate Christ's act Of love; but God appre-
ciated it and will see and reward all acts
of self-sacrifce on our part.
AT night his text was taken from Luke
xiv, 40. The members of the church
must have the power Of the holy ghost in
their hearts before they can persuade
sinners to be reConciled TO God.
Both of these sermons were strong,
warm appeals; more than ordinary.
The services will be continued from
last night. Services each day at $50 and
1:45 p. 10. The public is cordially invited
to attend all services.
