THINKS TT A MISTAKE.
Has Heard of no Effort of the c. +
and Y. V Railroad to Intimidate
its Employees.

To the Editor: VIII you kindly lend
me space to correct am article which
appeared in your paper Of the 2Sth
headed Intimidation by Railroads"
The article says that one Rev o. /.
Struggled was told by a passenger
conductor on the c. T.. & Y. Y. railroad
shat he (the conductor), with all of the
employees on said road, had received
a letter from the head of the road say
ing: IF you vote for the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver you vote
against your job
Now as that is a reflection on the
management of our road, / would like
to make the statement as lto myself,
as one of the conductors of the road,
and chief of division 271 of the order
of Railway Conductors, that l have
never, either by letter or otherwise,
received or even heard of any such in
structions, and believe the gentleman
must have been mistaken in his state
ment. have never heard of any effort
ON the part of the officers of the road
to control the votes Of its employees
Respectfully,

HONEST MEN REPUDIATE THE
DEAL

Mr. j. T. Cole, of Granville, repre-
sented his county as an Alliance Demo
tat in the Legislature Of 1890. When
Cleveland was nominated he joined the
Populst party, and has supported it
with fidelity. lie believes in the free
coinage OF silver, however, more than
in giving "power to party" He does
not believe in playing a game of
politics." and has publicly declared
that he will vote for no gold-bug for
any office from constable TO President,
and will support Kitchin for Congress,
and do all he can to defeat gold-bugs
everywhere
Populists who believe in silver, like
Mr.. Cole, are everywhere dnouncing
the recent sell out to the Republicans.
The men of character cannot approve
the brazen betrayal of principle.

Get Votes.
On Monday a colored man said on
the streets THAT he intended to vote
for the side that would do him and
his family the most good, as he had
never gotten any aid from RepubIi-
can oflice-holder. He intimated that he
would not vote the Republican ticket,
whereupon eight or ten colored men,
along with the women commenced to
abuse and hound him around the
streets wherever he went. This is in
timidation and the Russell election law
should be applied to the guilty parties
and let them know that they cannot
intimidate a voter.
