nothing could be substituted for it,
The great camp meeting at Long lake

those consecrated grounds by the side
of the beautiful lake during the past
three years, there have been heard the
hallelujahs OF saints, the penitential
pleadings OF sinners, the songs of Chris

forceful heralding OF gospel messages

well grounded hope that all OF these
will be multiplied in the coming meet
ing.

Bryan has no kick coming at the
Democratic bolt. He is something of
bolter himself. He bolted the Dem
ocratic convention in Nebraska after
having been licked out of his boots by
the sound money Democrats Of that
state. He was admitted TO the Chica-
go convention as bolter, and declared
that il it did not declare for free silver
he would bolt again. Having stepped
out of the Democratic into the Populist
fold and having accepted IA nomination
upon Populist platform, what reason
can he have to complain if Democrats
wherever they may be shall refuse to
support him?-Coleman Independent.
