lists start out with excommunloatne
lawyers? Have they had to depend upon
them at last for existence?
Columbus Enqurer-Sun: Seaborn
Wright and his oonferees on the popuist
ticket should turn out their chin whiskers
for the wind to whistle through this fall.

found out where Seab Wright stands
they have done wonders. He is an indie
pendent, according to himself, and that
means he is out for anything in sight

Rome Tribune: The combination OF the
populists and prohibitionists. to defeat the
organized democracy, brings out new
complication in this much mixed up cam

Gratis will forget their differences and
come together as of old.
Townsville Times-Enterprise: Perham
IS willing to support the ticket, but he Will
not play the hypocrite. Hear him: 1T is
going little too far for the free silver
ties to ask or expect the sound money
men to stultify themselves by pretending
that they have been converted to stlhe free
silver fallacy. They should be satisfied
that we are voting with the party, and
not ask US to be bypocrites.S
