FALLsToN, \. c., Oct. l0.-Old Cieve-
land is almost a unit for free silver but
We should be on our guard and vote
for no candidate for either branch of
the legislature unless We are certain
that he is free silver man and will
support, If elected, free silver man
for the United States Senate.
The Populists should practice what
they preach. They are preaching for
the redemption of free silver and if
we vote either directly or indirectly
for the gold standard then we are
traitors to the cause of free silver and
have preached something that We are
not practicing. If we vote for man
whom we know is a goldbug then we
vote directly for the gold standard,
and if we vote for free silver advo-
cate whom we know is pledged to sup
port goldbug for any Office then we
vote indirectly for the maintenance
Of the gold standard. But if we vote
for man whom we know is true to
the cause of free silver, then we prac-
tice what we preach and are true to
our principles. Free silver is what
we are after and we ought to keep in
the 'middle-of-the-ro and be Ger

principle above party and working in
harmony everywhere to save the ma

the poor, it dwells in the log cabin and
used to jingle in the pockets of every
child in America. But since it was
demonetized in 1873, and again in 1885,
by the hands of Democrats it has not

strong arm of its friends are going te
the rescue and on November 3rd they
are going to strike down gold. They
will give gold blow at the ballot boz
that will stun it enough to cause it to
take back seat and remain in its
place. Then silver will again be restored
to it's rightful place and will circulate

The time has arrived when we shoull
