for the ELECTRoPo1sE. I have tried 1t
for pleurisy, neuralgia, rheumatism and

every night had to rise and sit up. The
ELEcTRoPo1sE has cured me and I now

it was, everything can probably be re-

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
OfPeOple's Party Clubs.

Washington. d. G. September 2 '96.
Political Club organization has
proven one of the most effective ad-
juncts to campaign work that has
ever been devised. The present
campaign has brought into exis
tence more clubs than any Otner
known i'm the history of the coun-
try, The Peoples Iarty must not
lag behind the procession. There
should be a Peoples Party Club in
every township in America and,
where the party is strong, in every
school district. There should be
one in each village. and in each
city clubs should be organized by
wards. These clubs can be not on
ly an important help in the pres
ent campaign, but they can also be
a permanent good to the party.
Here is the plan: Let each
State Committee recommend
through the public press and
through the regular party organi-
zation, the starting of Populist
Clubs in every precinct in the
State. No organizers are necessa
ry for this, although State and
county organizers may be appoint
ed. But in the main the people
should organize for themselves
These clubs are to be open, are Il
hold weekly meetings during thu
campaign and after that as offer
as they see fit. They are to repor
the names of their officers (Chair
man; Secretary and Treasurer) a
once to the National Committee
| together with a nominal charter fet
of, say, one dollar. The Nati0na
Committee will in turn forward
charter and enroll the club as
member OF the National Associa
ton of Peoples Party Clubs
These clubs are to have public dis
cussions, are to distribute litera

HE'LL, August %, 1895.


Senator James X. Jones-Dear
Brother Jones l must write you
to tell you how much / value and
appreciate your work in my behalf.
That was a brilliant move you made
with the Populists, getting them to
nominate Bryan. instead of one of
their own men. That will knock
the stuffin' out of them. If we
can ever get them in the Demo
cratic party once they will be SO
razzle-dazzled that they can't find
their way ont. If some of the
smart leaders undertake it we'll
head them off with an Office. The
Populists were giving me lots of
trouble and / did not know wnat
to do with them until you halted
them over into the democratic par
ty. He'll and its interests are in
no danger from any one that we
can get to join the democratic par
ty. Now you want to go right on
and cram Sewall down the Popu-
lists throats. Don't pay any at
tention to Watson, he's a crank.
Say, Jones, / want to give You
tip: Bryan won't be elected. OF
course you know this as well as
do. You know you tried to carry
Ohio and Kentucky last year on
the silver question and got knock
ed higher'n O kite. But You want
to 90 right on and work just the
same as ii Bryan was going to be
elected. You will be elected from
Arkansas. Arkansas belongs to
me and the democrats and Pll see
that you 90 back to the Senate.

met at Pleasant Hill Church on

"Whereas the drouth has caused
almost complete failure in all
crops of this ward and Natchito-

"Whereas mass conventions are
being held in other drouth-stricken
sections praying for aid from the
surplus in the State treasury {;
therefore be it
"Resolgcd, That the citizens of
ward two of said parish, in mass
meeting assembled, as well as all
other wards of this parish, hold
ward meetings and name delegates
to meet in the city of Natchitoches
Saturday, Oct. ), 1896, to agree
upon somo plan for the relief of
the drouth-stricken sufferers of the
this parish.
''Resolved, further, That one
delegate be sent for every fifty vo-

At his home near Starlight, La, &,
August 31st, 1896, VIM. SUTTON /;
aged about AZ years.
He leaves a loving family and
a host of friends and relatives to
mourn his departure.
He was kind father and low
ing husband I; true and self sacri-
ficing to his friends, always put
ting his trust in God. Years ago
he became follower of the Lord
Jesus Christ, and until his death he
proved himself a faithful christian,
for more than year he had been a
devoted member of Cane river
Baptist church,
We sorrowfully, but tenderly
laid him to rest in the cemetery al
the church of which he was mem.
Der. AS we gently smoothed the
mound DER the last resting place OF
all that was mortal of him, we
could only think of the words:
81 came to the place where a lone
pilgrim lay,
And pensivcly stood by the tomb
Till in a low whisper l heard some
thing say,
How sweetly | sleep here alone.
The tempest may howl and the loud
thunder roll
And gathering storms may arise,
But sweet is my rest in the peact
of my soul,
And with Jesus who dwells in the
skies.

organized by electing Richard A.

ported as follows:
"Be it resolved, 1. That we in
dorse the platform adopted by the
National Peoples Party Conven-
ton at St. Louis, and pledge our
hearty support to its nominees,
Bryan and Watson.
SO. That we reaffim in the most
emphatic manner our advocacy OF
the free coinage of silver and gold
at the ratio of 16 to /, without
waiting for the aid, advice or CO.
operation of any other nation, and
we believe that such free coinage is
necessery to the restoration of pros
perity.
"3. That we favor an alliance
with the Democrats of Louisiana
at the ensuing national election fol
the purpose of carrying this State
for Bryan and Watson and we
express the utmost confidence in
the competency, wisdom and pat.
riotism of the properly constituted
authority of our party to deal with
this question.
"a. That we indorse free speech
and honest elections as the cardi,
nal principles of free government,
with equal rights to all and special
privileges to none.
The above resolutions were unan-
imously adopted.
On motion the convention went
into nominations.
Richard A. Pomeroy excused
himself from the chair and placed
the name of Judge A. G. Aller

duly seconded, and after general

Monroe Bulletin.

Senator Butler, of North Carroll
ma. is certainly one of the ablest
men this country ever produced.
At the age of 30 he has become one
of the most distinguished senator's
in this nation and the populists
may well be proud Of him. They
elected him chairman OF their ma
tional committee and they have
great faith in his ability and fideii
ty. He is younger, but more dis
tinguished and brilliant than Bry-
an. He is a statesman as well rs
an orator. He is a far-seeing po-
Iitical manager and campaigncr.
We make these. Introductory re-
marks that our readers may thor
oughly appreciate who Butler is, for
the purpose of calling attention to
the complaints made by him with
regard to Bryan's conduct. He
says that Bryan is hob-nobbing toe
much with Hill and German and
such like enemies to the. silver
cause. He declares that Mr.. Bry-
ans anxiety to get the support OF
goldbng democrats, who are sworr
foes Of silver and Chicago plat
form, is discouraging to the popu-
lists, who do not propose to make
common cause with their worst en-
envy. Mr.. Butler plainly init
mates that the populists cannot ex.
pect any good from campaign ol
an administration managed or in
huenced by Hill or German, and
he does not see what good vii
come to the country by making
Hill and German cabinet officer.
with pledge to support Hill fol
the presidency four years hence
In other words. Mr.. Butler is
straightforward outspoken maj
who does not look for success from
courting the enemies of silver
He knows that Hill, German
Whitney aud all their set are bit
terly opposed to the Chicago plat
form, and he knows that they vii
not support it except through sin
lister and corrupt motives. he
knows nothing but promises o
power and the hope of ultimatel,
defeating every doctrine in the Chi
cago platform can induce Hill t.
support Bryan. Therefore he ar
CUES that it is bad policyto endeav
or to carry New York at the sac
rifce of every principle we ar
fighting for, and he warns tn
democrats that the populist
are not going to be led int
a trap. They will not put thei
necks in a goldbug moose sim
ply to get the spoils. Mark that

democrats to turn this country owe
