TAKE THE CROSS TO THE LEFT.
Vote The Peoples Party Ticket II You Want
Your Vote Counted For Bryan.

The ballot to be voted Tuesday will
have three tickets with the name of w.
j. Bryan at the head. They are the
peoples party, democrat and middle
of-the-road populst" The Electors,
not the presidential and vice-presi-
dental candidates, are to be voted
for. The voting is done by placing a
cross in the square to the left of the
candidates names. The electors I'M
der the peoples party and democrat
head are the same, and votes for them
will be counted together, no matter
on which ticket they are voted for.
The middle. of-the-road" are q differ
emit set Of men, and votes for them
will be counted separately from other
votes for Bryan. Mark no squares
except those followed by candidates
names. Look the ballot over and find
the peoples party ticket It begins
with Bryan and Watson, and the first
name TO be voted for is Morris Gig
gett. Every vote for the electors
headed "middle-of-the-read populist,"
and beginning with John f. Willis
for elector, is vote taken away from
Bryan and Watson and helps Nc
Kinley that much. Study the sample
ballots carefully. Be sure you know
how to vote right. See that your
understands the matter.
Make a cross in the square to the
left of every name on the ticket.

Address to POpuIlsts.

The populist state committee has
issued an address to the ropulist vOt-
ers in regard to the middle of the
road ticket. It says, after recitlng
the history Of the recent Watson
trouble in Kansas:
1.-THE republican party, seeing in
this union of the silver forces the sure
defeat Of the Mckinley electoral tick
ct, procured the services Of certain 30
called middle Of the road Populists'
to create dlsCord IN the ranks OF our
party and il possible, divide the sill
YER vote, hoping thereby to secure the
election Of the Mckinley and Hobart
ticket nH
I'm pursuance Of the agreement
thus entered into with tho represen-
tstives Of the republican state central
committee, these men attempted to
secure by petition the nomination Of
middle of the road popnllst electors
They failed to find 500 populists in
Kansas who would lend themselves to
this scheme Of the republican party.
Failing in their efforts, the work was
taken up by the republican state cen.
trail committee and its representatives,
by fraudulent practices, by forging
the names Of voters, by entering upon
their petition fictitious names and the
names Of republicans, secured the
necessary number Of signatures, and
there now appears upon the official
ballot the ticket designated as the
middle Of the road populist' ticket,
bearing at it's head the names OF vii.
liam ]. Bryan and Thomas E. Wat
son as candidates for president and
vice president but containing as cleo
tors list Of ten names other and diff.
ferent than those nominated by your
convention at Abilene.
Let no voter be deceived. A vote
cast for the mlddle-of-the-road ticket
will not be counted for either Mr..
Bryan or Mr.. Watson. 1t is vote
thrown away. 1t takes vote away
from Mr.. Bryan and free silver and
is IN effect half vote for Mckinley
and the gold standard. This is the
purpose of the republican managers,
and is the service for which they are
bearing the expense Of the middle-of.
the.road campaign managers.

this brought about BY an increase
of taxation, and by the use Of money
paid in upon tax certificates II ls
easy TO see that il the county pays
out $4,000 per year as the Dispatch
admits, and only gets IN about $18,5OO
the deficit must be made up from
some place, and for the past two
years this has come from the re-
demption Of tax sales No one need
worry about the county buying in any
more tax certificates. 1t would DO a
great thing for this county to buy in
these certificates, but the plan is not
practicable under present conditions.

A FEW THOUGHTS.

The campaign is drawing to a close
aud every week brings stronger cpl
thets of derision from the so.called
sound money advocates upon thoee
who are more liberal minded, and
who believe in double standard
of coin money. Unto any who are
wavering or undecided, let me ask
what is promised by the Gold o. P?
ls there anything reasonable or tsngi-
BILE in their platform on which labor
or its product can build hope Of any
better reward than is now obtained.
Surely there is nothing tariff legisla-
ton, and continuance of the present
monetary conditions, is useless. With
an already depleted treasury and
stagnation on every hand, they pro-
pose to give to those that control the
gold of the nation absolute and com.
plete control Of the nations finances
Can it be possible that the people Of
the United States will choose for their
chief magistrate, man who has
been in constant training for the past
two years by the gold power and cor
porstions of this country and EuropeY
Never A man who today does not
deign to engage in an open public
campaign, but sits himself up at his
home city in regal splendor, and says
to the voters of America, II Am He,"
Gall Hail King Mckinley" In me Is
your salvation. How does.it look Citi-
zens, how does it sound old soldiers
you that knew old Abe, and fought
for emancipation and equality on
American soil.
Eternal vigilence IS the price of
liberty. No truer saying ever was
uttered, and we will do we'll to bear
it In mind. Once, twice, yea thrice
have the honest yoemanry of this
country been called from their homes
to the battle fields, there to sacrifice
health and life to preserve the sacred
name Of liberty, and we are glad to
know that this sacrifice has not been
IN vain. There has been a period Of
peace and prosperity, Tranquility
reigned supreme for brief space of
time; we as q nation Aourished until
it was SAID that we regained our old
place, first IN war and first in peace,
but now we can truthfully add, the
worst in debt Of any civilized nation.
Let us beware tf the subtle scheme
that Is now beng worked in the in
terest of the gold oligsrchy of the
east. Let us restore with the ballot
that which has been won on many q
battlefield, libertysnd American free.

the native-born Americans is their

SMOKED OUT.

After many weary weeks OF waiting
the Dispatch finally makes a very
short answer to the oft times repeated
request OF the HERALD that 1t print q
comparative statement Of the receipts
and expenditures Of this county for
the past five years. The fact is that
no one can tell just exactly what it
costs this county to run for any year,
as no account of expense is kept. The
only way the desired information can
be obtained ID to figure up the
amounts allowed by the commission
ers at their quarterly sessions.
The Dispatch says "the expendi-
lures Of this county have been about
$4,000 per year, varying from $4,000
to $4,000, whether it has been under
a republican or populist admins
tration, and will always continue to
be about that unless the legislature
raduces the salaries Of county officers
The above is q very fair and frank
statement and stamps the claims Of
wonderful economic management by
the republicans as being mere bonn
bast. So too with the claims Of a
cheap state government. The people
will pay a higher rate of state tax
than ever before.
It is true that the county is about
upon a cash basis again, but how was

services at the Christian Church next

With the compliments of Mr.. j. E.
Jarvis we were presented last Saturday
with a quantity of new potatoes, grown
by E. G.. Harkey, living miles east of
Van Buren. They ranged in size from
that of small marble to an inch in
diameter. If left two or three weeks
longer they would have been of market
able size. This is Mr.. Harkey's first
experiment and he will try it more
extensively next winter.
The suggestion of the Argus that
Camp Wallace, Confederate Vet
Grams, take some steps at today meet
ing looking to putting the graves of ex
Confederate soldiers buried in our
cemetery in better shape, is good one
and timely. Spring is near and If the
work is begun now will require much
less to put in good shape. The fence is
now in repair and our cemetery
generally should be made to look better
than it has appeared for years past.
Many hearts were saddened to learn
of the death of Mrs. Edmiston, which
occurred at her residence on College
avenue at about s O clock this morning
The charity and hospitality of Mrs.
Edmiston had endeared her to all who
knew her and she will be greatly missed
by her devoted friends. The remains,
accompanied by her daughter and
neice, will be taken to Leavenworth,
Kansas. on the Cannon Ball tonight
where she will be buried by her two
sons, Harvey and Will. Her only
surviving child, Miss Annie. has the
sincerest sympathy of the city in her
sad and irreparable loss. Fayetteville

Mrs. Edmiston had many friends in
Van Buren, where she lived for a
number of years, who will be panied to
learn of her death, and whose sincere
sympathy is extended to her daughter
at this trying time.
Mr. Chas. F Harvey this week
announces his candidacy for re election
to the Office of Justice of the Peace for
Van Buren township. AS our citizens
well know this township has never had
a more competent man for magistrate
and it would be difficult to find many
his equal in fitness to discharge the
duties of that position satisfactorily. A
fair consideration of his claims is all
. that is necessary to convince the voters
that he should be retained in office.
