place in this section of the country
took place on the farm of Nelson
Armstrong two miles northeast
of Laurelville, Ohio, killing instant

Sullivan and Willis Waite, who
have since died. Samuel Sullivan
died the same evening at 6:55 and

the log and saw that the carriage
was Off from the track. We re-

carriage toward the saw and before
the saw was half way through the

The Record Condemns Them.

No man can truthfully say that
the Democratic party favors the
free coinage of silver at any ratio,
because in 1892, with 14S Demo
cratic majority in the lower House,
they defeated a free coinage bill
passed by a Republican Senate.
Again, in 1894, a Congress that
had 92 Democratic majority in the
Senate, defeated a free silver coin
age bill by good safe majority at
Is to 1, also at II, Is, 10, and 90
to 1. These facts none deny, and
with them before him any one who
yet says, 81 believe the Demo-
cratic party will give US free silver

in prejudice, and could not be
made to believe that two and two
make four if his political masters
told him to dispute it.-Southern

Waite's Head Level.

DENVER, COlo.-GOv. Waite has
written an open letter to the POpu-
list party of Colorado, in which he
strongly opposes fusion with the
democrats. In conclusion he says:
'I have endeavOred to the best of
my ability to run the affairs of the
State in the interest of the miners
and the labOring men, and so far as
l could have stepped upon tine aris-
tOcratic thieves and robbers who
have stolen the State post in prev.
iOus administrations, and even de-
frauded the school children of the
State of nearly $500, 200.
''If we can not, after two years,
and after carrying the State, sue
ceed again on our platform and
with our own men, and without
looking for support outside the
party organization, then the PeO-
ple's party is premature and the
American people are not yet ready
for reform"
Waite some day will be honored
as he deserves to be. A short time
ago he declined an offer by the
gamblers of Denver to put $50, 900
into the POpulist campaign fund il
he would let them resume business.

have, even if the plutOcrats lie

Recreancy Of the Democrats.


If the Democratic party lived up
to its principles there would be no
place for Peoples party. But as
the situation stands the Populists
have taken the Democratic princi-
Piles and the plutocrats have cap

so it is that in communities where
joint debates are confined to Re-
publicans and Democratic disput-
ants the auditors, though they hear
both speakers, will get only one
side of the question.--Chicago

The United States produces
enough food to supply every citi-
zen bountifully. Its factories are
able to furnish all the clothing
needed; coal wood and minerals
are in the greatest abundance, and
the people industrious and full of
energy, yet want, destitution, hun
ger and suffering are constant
guests in thousands of homes.
Evidently natural conditions are
not to blame, but the injustice of
man, or man-made laws, is. Is
there any plausible reason why the
people should suffer from such
laws and their results when they
have the power to alter theml
If the people suffer they have
themselves alone to-blame. Let
them arouse themselves, study the
situation, and act like men worthy
of a better state; demand and see
to it that these evils are corrected.
