STILL THEY COME.

DR.. A. T. Conley of Cannon Falls,
Mimi, writes us under date of Oct. "a,
'95, the following letter:
Brother Donnelly-You will please
find one dollar enclosed to con-
time "The Representative" I feel that
you and l and the reformers generally
are having rather up hill work and some
times [ get discouraged and think
what's the use, nine-tenths of the people
don't appreciate self-sacrifice any way
and after we have fought their battles
for them they will turn about and kick
us for it, yes. that's the way l feel when
I'm blue. and then l want to go some
where else. And then l think that once
upon time a great number of the disci-
pies left the master because of some of
his sayings, then he turned to Peter and
said will you also go away" and Peter
answered ito whom shall we CO. That's
my fix. Good Lord to whom shall we
go?
S. A. Pickett, of Crowley, Louisiana,
writes us as follows:
please find enclosed one dollar to ex-
tend payment on subscription of your
paper sent here to NJ. l.. Snow for three
months commencing in February last
This long delay is more neglect than
anything else; it is not for lack of appre-
ciat.on by any means. Let The Repre-
sentative live. You hit 'em hard, but
every time in the right place. Strike from
the shoulder and hew to the line. Your
paper has made at least one Populist
here"

of Parker's Lake, sends us the following
quaint letter:
To The Representative, which person

name for Tighteousness) and love to
brother man:
Bears Sir lin the incarnate since)-I find
by the indication of the direction Slip
pasted on your fair and interesting face
that often intrudes and hides some i'm
portant information beneath, which often
veXes me as necessary evil and most of
all it now informs me that my time is
out and that if | would continue the week
ly visits of an instructive friend and
counselor | must hustle around and scare
up that most valuable medium, that of
late has grown so great that it casts its
shadow over so many other commodities
known as labors' products, in fact it has
of late become ambitious to rule, which
was the fault of Julius Caesar, which cost
him his life. 1t intrudes its almighty
presence in all transactions and receives
the paternal and fostering care of gov

take back seat and is only used--not
