talking UP the G. o. p. cause. lie Is
comfortably ensconsed in the cushions Of
the Oriental hotel at great expense aud

man TO help along the cause that pays
the bills for expensive apartments at the
marble trimmed hotel in Dallas A man
of wealth. who never works himself, he
wants to advise the working men what is
an order to his employees on the Texas
Midland to vote for Mckinley.
a telephone message was received Mt
democratic headquarters this morning IA
Dallas from state Senator Colquitt at
Kaufman stating that Z. II. II. Green.
president of the Texas Midland railroad,
had issued orders that every employee Of
the Texas Midland railroad in Terrell
should accompany the superintendent to
the polls and vote for Mckinley and llo
bart.
Senator Colquitt is chairman Of the dem
ooratic campaign committee for Kaufman
county and he states the men appealed to
him for protection against such coercion.
The senator also states that he has 1t
from unquestioned authority that all EN-
ployes OF the Craney construction com
pany, which is building the Texas Mid
land, have been instructed to go into Ter
rcll aboard a special train, which will be
provided, and there vote for Mckinley and
Hobart and Kearby. The senator has APP
piled to the authorities for a detail of spc-
cial officers who will be stationed about
the polls and every Illegal voter will be
stopped, and he further proposes to prose-
cute every person who attempts to coerce
or ntmidate voters. The employees of the
Texas Midland are afraid to openly revolt
as they are afraid they will lose their
Jobs.

he announced himself as populist. and
came here to speak for that ticket, but on
account of his violent and incendiary Ian

Iaign in this county was practically closed
Saturday night though there are being
held final grand rallies tonight at Hills

at which short speeches are being bnade by
prominent local orators. The democrats
have made more thorough canvass Of
the county than was ever previously done
by any political organization,
Or. T. =. Johnson, the chairman OF the
county executive committee, has proven
himself to b. most efficient and expert
manager and has left nothing uudonc that
was needed to strengthen the party AND
increase the vote for the National, stale
and local nominees. Nearly every school
house has lhoen visited and the issues pre-
scented to ME people The populsts en-
deavored TO prevent their followers FROM
attending these meetings, but during the
latter part OF the campaign this proved
futile and tho rank and nle OF popui'sts
have manifested considerable interest In
the discussions, The result has been that
many c0ny rts We're made and many re
cent leaders OF the opposition are oarnes .ly
supporting the democratic ticket from
presidential electors down now. Those
gains have been largely due to the ex-
posture OF the disgraeeful fusion oombina-
