In his speech at Richmond, Ind,
Thursday, Bryan had some things to
say which will probably interest rail-
road men:
Ladies' and Gentlemen-I want
you to remember that our opponents
are, many Of them, opposing us on
grounds which they dare not state to
the public. You have not heard a
single man In this campaign object to
the Chicago platform because IL fayors
arbitration OF differences between
railroads and their employees, and vet
you know the opposition OF the rail.
roads in this campaign is largely
due to the fact that we are in favor OF
arbitration between the railroads and
their employees. There Is another
thing | want to say, and that is that
there Is not man In this campaiVn
who has dared To go before the public
and oppose trial by jury as provided
by the bill which passed the senate iu
certain contempt cases, and vet YOU
know that much Of the opposition tC
the Chicago platform comes from
those who want government by in
junction, and yet dare not tell the
american people 80.

The Curse
Of Mankiind!.

The most horrible disease to which
the human family is subject is conts-
gious blood poison. 1t has always
baffled the doctors, for Notwithstanding
the progress made in some branches Of
medicine, they have failed absolutely to
discover a cure for it. Whether in the
form Of powder, pill or liquid, the doc
tors prescription is always the same
potash or mercury.
Mr.. Otto II. Ebert, who resides at the
corner Of 27d Street, and Avenue NJ,
Galveston, Texas, had severe expert
ence with this dreadful disease, and
under date Of April sth, 1896, writes:
Several years ago l was so unfort+
nate as to contract contagious blood
poison, and was under treatment Of the
best physicians continuously for four
years. As soon as discovered that I had
the disease, FASTENED to place myself
under the care Of one of the foremost
doctors in my State, and took his
treatment faithfully for several mon,hs.

nounced me we'll, that the disease broke

as though the Republicans were at
the bottom of the whole proceeding
and were adopting these senSeleSS
tactics to try and break up the
parade.
Now there is not bit of reason
for the Monitor Press to falsify
about this matter. The Voice has
stated heretofore that the better
class Of people regardless of party
condemned this rowdyism. But in
stead of denouncing it the Monitor
Press losses it aside as of small
moment. 1t is such action as this
that encourages such rowdyism, and
to that extent lays the Republican
party responsible tor the outbreaks.
This rowdyism did not occur on
back streets but was open and no,

the procession passed. We could
name dozen persons who were
struck by missiles. Will such men

the secretary OF state and county
clerk have not arranged these ten

on both these tickets. These officers
have on the Democratic ticket placed
the names Of Electors Morris ClIggett,
Albert Perry, George T. Pitts at the
bottom Of the list of electors, where
as, on the Peoples ticket these three
names are placed at the top of the
list Of electors.
This is done TO deceive voters and

order on the ticket both Peoples and

The Monitor-Press is in much
grief to know who is footing Bryan's
railroad bills. Our neighbor does
not intimate that any corporation
is footing his bills, because he knows
Bryan is getting no favors from that
source. The VOICE would relieve
the tension Of gu. -eohbors' mind
by saying that the various state COM
mittees are taking care Of Bryan and
they get their money direct from the
people, in quarters, dimes and dol
lars, the parting Of which some
times requires absolute sacrifice.

we give the exact form OF the official
ballot to be voted by the qualified
electors 10 this county, on November
3rd, 1896, except The ballot here pub.

row Of squares at the left of the

for all persons to cross who desire TO
vote for the cause OF silver or the
Peoples Party ticket, and the voter
should make a cross thus, Y 10 each
square at the left of each name in this
column OF names IN the ballot,
but no mark or Y should be placed in
the squares opposite blank spaces.
The foregoing also applies to those
who desire to vote tie Democratic
ticket, which is the fourth column
from the left and headed Democratic.
Those desiring to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket should make their cross
< in the squares to the left Of each
name in that ticket.

The voter who desires to

would have called Botkin out pri-
vately and given him the summons.
The fact that he served it when the
eyes Of big audience were CEN
tered upon him shows that it was a
premeditated plan to disgrace and
humiliate him because he was a
Populist candidate. Such tricks
will make Botkin a great many
votes. A Republican Of Wellington,
leading member OF the NJ. E.
church, one who was very much
averse to Botkin's course as pastor
of that church, said TO the VOICE
Thursday: 81 heard a man telling
about this circumstance and laugh
ing it off as a good joke. He was
telling NE because he knew | did
not like Botkin's course here; he
thought | would be glad of it, but l
tell you | love Bro. BotEin yet, and
such capers as that played BY that
officer fill me with resentment. If
that officer had been the gentleman
he ought 10 have been he would
have transacted that business with
Botkin privately. Botkln is an hon.
est man, and we all know would pay
his obligations if he could. This
action will strengthen Botkin rather
than weaken him in his race for
congress"
LATER-We are told that the
officer did serve tine paper privately,
and that the Eagle reporter made a
blow about it for the sake of humil-
lating Botkin. The scheme seems
to have been Matched to afford such
an opportunity.

How Is This?

This week is the last week Of the
campaign. 1t is practically settled
that the entire Populist ticket will be
elected unless something can be
done by the opposition to turn the
tide. No one will seriously question
this. The Republican candidates
themselves are aware Of what their
polls show, and Of their desperate
dilemma. This is apparent from their
and from many other
circumstances. They have been

A disreputable trick was played
on Rev. J. D. Botkin at Wichita last
Saturday. A constable was sent to
serve a summons upon him while he
was on the speakers stand. The
summons was notice that he had
been sued by one H. C. Dunbar for
something like 1000. In the boom
days, when Rev. Botkin lived at
Wichita, he bought a tract Of land
out on College hill, intending later
to build on it for a home. He paid
100 good money, leaving the bal.
ance of $4,000 to be paid in future
before receiving deed. The boom
subsidized and caught Botkin with
