tire ticket is sure of election" is the
way Maj. Bowler, candidate for lieu
tenant governor, expressed himself
yesterday. Maj. Bowler has been can
vassing the northern part of the state
in company with Mr.. Lind during the
past two weeks, and says that every
where the party has been making great
gains. "It is impossible that the flu
sion ticket can be defeated" he said.
I'm the Sixth and Seventh districts,
where I have been speaking, the in
crease in the free silver sentiment has
been noticeable everywhere. The peO-
pie are confident they will win, and the
Republicans everywhere realize that
they are making the fight of their
lives with the chances against their
success"
Maj. Bowler is .Populist, He is a
farmer and an old soldier. He wears
his beard to suit himself and that
pleases the Populists. He is plain
blunt man, and is the best man of
the fusion ticket to make back
woods canvass Half the Pepulists in
the state wish the major was at the
head Of the ticket. He doesn't like the
name Democrat to attach to the party.
He says it would have been better if
the name had been discarded at Chi
old party. Such a step, he thinks,
would have made many votes for
Bryan from persons who object to vot-
ing for Democratic ticket.
Aaron Poupeney is spoken of as a
prospective Demorerative candidate
for sheriff and he has many friends
throughout the city who would be
pleased to see him so hOnored.
Fifth ward Democrats "got together
last night at SAG West Seventh street
and agreed to bury all differences and
work tremendously for the success OF
the national and state and county
tickets. Above all, they promised each
other they would be Democrats work
ing for Bryan and Lind, and if in their
efforts they should capture county
office or so, we'll and good
Thus far in the campaign the Demo-
Gratis of the ward have had no organ
ization, and a good many of the faith
have strayed into sound money fields
1t was to counteract this loss that the
meeting was held last night. John H.
Ives, one Of the electors on the state
fusion ticket, was present, and told the
audience that the only thing for them
to do was to organize for principles
sake. If any Democrat present did not
intend to vote for the national and
state ticket straight from top to bot
tom, such Democrat was not of much
USE and might as we'll keep out of the
organization. Don't be afraid to call
| yourselves Democrats and vote for the
| Democratic nominees he said. 1--WE
must make this fight without the as
sistance of the Democrats who call
themselves the advocates Of sound
money" Other addresses were made,
and the audience advised to vote for

the result in the county, One speaker

and c. T. Allen secretary. The follow
