readers know and see how much the
goldbugs care for their slaves, the
poor worEingmen. They have cut
our wages from S65 per month to $50
commencing tomorrow.
Mr., Sutherland was seen by the
Tribune, and in reply to the state.
ments made In the above communica.
tiOn he said.
'In the first place, nearly every
word in the letter is untrue. We are
not contemplating cutting wages or
laying OF men. We have started a
new system Of switching which will
permit US to lay of several men, that
is about eight switchmen. In their
places we propose to hire other men
at a lower rate Of wages. This is all
there is to the statement made IN the
letter. We are not trying to influence
our men to vote in any way that we
do not believe for their good. We
have the same right to teach our men
which way they should vote as Mr..
Bryan or any other man has 10 try
to teach the public"

The VOICE desires to correct the
statement it made the other day that
number of men were discharged
from the Illinois Central because Of
their activity for Bryan.
The foreman, VIM. Mccoy, de-
MES it. The Mail refers TO it and
calls it "More Populist PreYari-
cation" Since the affair was so
reported by the associated press, we
fail to see where PopulistS had any,
thing to do with it. 1t is the first
intimation we have had that the
Populists had any sort of "pull'
with the associated press. The
VOICE is always glad to correct any
errors that may creep into its COL
umns. Can the Mail say as much?
Will it now admit that it either falsi-
fed or was in error when it said no
railroad officials attended the Repub-
lican county convention; that the

rode to Topeka on passes3 'Fess up,

Dear Editor: Would you kindly

for number of years and have been
crippled while in the discharge of my
duty. The company scared US into
joining the sold clubs, telling us that
if we voted for Bryan and Pingree
and if they were elected they would
cut our wages. Well they got US to
join the club but they have not
waited for Bryan and Pingree to he

cut our wages just because we had no
protector. No wonder that some of
US are anarchists. If we are not now,
they want to make US such. Today
the Michigan Central road is making
more money than it ever did before.

lowing:
Senator A. G. Forney, Populist
nominee for reelection said Saturday
evening: 81 don't know what's the
matter with Jerry. 1t didn't turn out
as expected. Jerry ought to have
answered Longs questions; but I'm

pastor Of the Christian church, said:

between an educated and ignorant
man. Simpson can't debate with
Long, Yet Mr.. Smith spent Satur-
day night until train time at the Ar
lingtOn hotel with Simpson.
Saturday evening, Lee Hedrick, the
POpulist congressional committeeman
from this county, was trying to con-
sole a bunch Of Populists who were
kicking over the debate. He said TO
them: "The trouble is, Long Is an
orator, while Jerry can't even read
