The Rev. VIM. P. F. Ferguson, whose pic

by sight TO many readers. A young man, be

foreign missionary, teacher, editor, lecturer
and pastor that has given him wide &C.

In an interview a few days ago he said:

visit of the stumping Union vet
Grams, Generals Alger, Howard.
Henderson, and Corporal Tan
ner to this city, in the interest of
the gold standard and Mckinley,
has called forth a vigorous open
letter from one of their old com
rades in arms, ex-Attorney Gen
eral Leese, of this city. He is
an oldtime Republican, a per-
sonal acquaintance and neighbor
of William ]. Bryan. In his let
ter he says
I'VE are glad to meet you to-
day, because many of us follow
ed you from the first battle of
Bull Run all through the PENN
sula campaign; Through Antietam,
Gettysburg, Spottsylvania and
down through the wilderness
under Grant, and we respect you
because you were our comrades
in arms.
1--WE offer no objections to
your visiting our state as Repub-
licans. We do not object to your
advocating your cause as Repub-
licans, for we are well aware that
you cannot say one word nfavor
of the present Republican plat
form but that every farmer,
every laborer or mechanic in the
state of Nebraska will discover
at once the fallacy of your argu-
ment.
but what we do object to,
and offer our solemn protest, in
the name of the suffering people
against, is your coming here, not
as Republican speakers. but as
Union Generals, to dictate to the
old soldiers of this state how we
should vote, and to try and fast
en- upon the people of this
country the gold standard a
financial policy that has brought
distress and ruin on the com
mon people of every country that
has adopted it.
I'VE respect all old soldiers
We respect Major Mckinley as a
man, but you know that he rep
resents in this campaign ever
interest that is in direct conflict
with the rights of the great com
mon people of our nation. You
have Endorsed the policy of
Cleveland and Carlisle, and are
today working on the same lines
with them. We are not fighting
for the offices. We are striking
for our homes and firesides, and
for the prosperity of future gen
erations. We struck the shack
les from the limbs of four mil
lion slaves, and have resolved to
prevent you. if God is willing,
from placing them upon several
million whites.
5 In your speeches here you
! called us anarchists, 'repudia
5 tionists, and other epithets, that
g caused the blush of shame to
d mantle the cheeks of your great
: est admirers. Ever since the
war the Republican party has de-
clared in its platform, and you
have advocated from the stump,
the double standard. This year
you tell us that the gold stand
ard is the correct principle, and
the double standard is wrong.
Were you deceiving US then, or
are you deceiving US now !
is when you ask us to vote for
e Major Mckinley because he is an
old soldier of the civil war, we
want you to understand that the
smoke and dust OF that conflict
has long since drifted away.
Our swords have been sheathed
in their ScabbardS for many
years. and have become rusty

This morning at 3 o'clock when
the south bound Santa Fe passen-
ger train pulled up at the water
tank three miles south Of Dough

little episode happened which will
long be remembered by the crew.
A couple Of tramps had been riding
on the train aud got of at the
tank. A brakeman seeing them in
the shadow Of n coach turned
loose a 45-calibre pistol to frighten
them away. The discharge Of the
gun not only frightened the
knights Of the road within an in,h
Of their lives. but the passengers
on the train were scared out OF
their wits ON account of the hold

on the train at the time. report
that every passenger that possessed
anything valuable was seen hiding

a secure hiding place. J. W. Gallo

You can stand within the valley
While the multitudes 60 by;
You can chant a happy measure

Growing rank against the wall,

Hide the heaviest wheat Of all.

which the town may be situated.
Wagner and Ardmore will send
