EDITOR HERALD:
Dear Sir--As the Agra NeOs is a
non-partisan paper, we beg leave to
let the voters Of the county know
through the columns of your paper
the sentiment Of the populists here as
it appears to us. Most all Of us were
favored with a sample copy OF the
Dispatch this week, showing up the
proceedings Of our county convention
as we'll as the horrors of fusion, for
which, we of course, are truly CRATE
full. But the only ones who seem to
be hot about 1t are the republicans.
The popullst sentiment seems to be,
fuse with any one who is willing to
come ont and vote for the free and
unlimited coinage Of American silver
at ratio of 16 to /. And why shouldn't
we when our republican editor judg-
ing from the articles in his paper,
fuses with Cleveland's monometal
policy. We see no reason why we,
as convention of populists haven't a
right to fuse with the other wing
Last fall the republicans of our town
ship fused with the democrats on
township officers and the most of them
voted the republican state ticket, and
it did the pops no good to kick about
it either, lit depends on whose back
is being scrstched). For my part l
am satisfied with the action of the
convention. Mr.. @. p, Barber is an
old resident Of the county, who has
proven his ability for the position for
which he was nominated, as we'll az
the clerk, Mr.. Arnold, and my per
sonal acquaintance with the remand
or of the candidates satisfies me that
they are especially adapted for the
positions for which they we're nomi-
mated, and / firmly believe they will
be elected and that we will have no
reason to regret the action of the con-
vention. And we are glad to note
the tendency among the majority OF
our citizens to look at the issue and
it's probable effects devsing ways and
means of progresslons leading to 8
more elevated plane of purity and
perfection in all things. Men become
noted benefactors by their skill as in
ventors, and the greatest of inventions
become inferior in time. There is no
state Of perfection in this life, and il
there is man foolish enough to think
old dogmas, party names and meas
ures perfect and interchangeable, he is
simply a log chained to the wheel Of
progress Hence we think new
party is a move in the right direction
The last few years of bankruptcy botE
nationally as we'll as Individually, the
increase of defsulters IN high posi-
tions, thefts, murders, suicides, tramps
beggsrs, and general depression o.
business of oil kinds, is sufficient evil
dence that our national machine o.
operation is out of date. 1t has beer
ldoctorod for the last quarter of a cen
fury with low tariff, high tariff and
Mckinley tariff, has shut off its rich
est natural production, until it would
have collapsed had it not been re
stored with double dose of Carlisle
bonds. We want q new improved
machine in way Of patriotic men who
have the interest Of the nation a
heart and will give our lSboring meE
chance to utilize our natural pro
ductlons which are in sufficient guam
titles to make us an independent snt
prosperous nation o. N. L.

The work OF the Convention,

The populist convention on Wednes-
day Of last week made no mistake in
the character or fitness Of the men
nominated as the ticket from top to
bottom is a silver edged one The
convention by its enthusiastic work.
ings showed that the populist party
is not as some of Its adYerssries would
have it dead, but wide awake, and
eager for the fray. 1t was quite In
teresting to watch the countenances
of the other fellows, when some dele
gate advocated such policies as SEEM
ed to be likely to throw the conven-
ton into an uproar, their faces were
lit with smiles, and with wise mods
and winnings they congratulated each
other that war was at hand, but when
votes were taken, and questions settled
so unanimously that there could be
no mistake in the wishes Of the dele.
gates, the smiles vanished, and more
gloomy couutenances are seldom seen.
In the main the ticket will receive
the united vote of both the populist
and democratic voters. Here and
there however will be found some one
who questions the wisdom Of the con-
vention's action, and who perhaps are
not giving the ticket the support that
they should. To these gentlemen we
would say, lay aside all personal diff
ferances aud join hands together, and
help give the ticket majority so
large that it will dismay our oppon-
ents, and carry disaster to their hopes
D. W. sMEDLEY,
who heads the ticket is no stranger to
the people of the eastern portion of
the county. He is now engaged in
farming in Plum township, and is
fully competen: to transact the duties
of the register of deeds office, to
which he will be elected.
G. p. BARBER
the next county treasurer, is a mer-
chant at Kirwin, where no one stands
higher Mr.. Barber filed this diff
cult position for a little more than
two years, and was elected over the
regular nominee of the republican
party, st time when a nomination
on that ticket meant an election. Mr.,
Barber's former experience gives him
special claim on the position, one Of
the most important ia the glft of the
people.
E. NJ. BAKER
of this city, was chosen from list ct
very competent candidates Mr.. Baker
has been a resident of this county for
many years, and no one stands higher

this city than he does. BY trade he
is q carpenter, and has filed the Office
of deputy sheriff for the past year,
thereby getting knowledge Of the
duties of the Office that will enable
him to keep the standard Of the office
up to where it is now.

county clerk. He is no new man in
this line of county work as the people
well know. For two years he perved

remove the chicks, Bob smilingly asked:
Are you sure they will lay there"
"Oh. no, sir, she stammered, blushiDg
