I learn with great regret that you have

life after the campaign, and this regret is
shared by thousands of people who know
of your untiring efforts in behalf of re-
form. I socialist. and it is because
of the socialistic planks of the Omaha plat
form that I joined the ranks of the Peo-
Pies party. AS that party has to all in

the Democratic party, I must decline to
follow 1t. AS to free silver, I do not see
much hope of getting it through a party
which, when in power, strangled upwards
of a dozen free silver bills
Possibly this may be one of those rare
cases where a dog does not return to it's
vomit. but doubt it.

selves in frantic effort to reduce fares

Editor Representatives:
In looking down the columns of your
paper we have observed your remarks con-
corning the conduct of the Minnesota dele
CATION toward you at st. Louis. This has
brought sorrow and perplcxity to many in
this place. We all expected our delegation
to support you as the nominee for presi-
dent. In this we have been sadly disap-
pointed, and wish to inform you that our
indignation is thoroughly aroused. We ap-
preciate your true worth and the great In
tegrity with which you have served us.
We recognize the fact that you have al
ways been with and for the people, and
that no effort has been too great for you
to undertake in their behalf. Now, we
know no better way to show our gratitude
than to still stand round and support you.
We wish to inform you that our sympathfes
are with you, and that we have not de-
serted you. if our delegates did. 1t seems
to us that they were pretty bold to go, flat
footed, against their constituents wishes.
Had they cast their first ballot for you,
and then changed, we would have been
better pleased. but as it is we are only
chagrined.
I am not only writing this to express my
own feelings. but those of my friends with
whom I have talked; also it is by their
consent. I do not mean to be flattering,
but lust simply to speak what is thought
and felt.
A short time ago Prof Dobbyn was
recommended to us as a speaker, but since
his conduct at st. Louis it would be use
less for him to come here for that purpose
as we would not even listen to him, not
to mention paying him anything for it, We
should like to learn the name of some good
person who has not ill-treated our greatest
protector, but none of those mentioned in
the fourth column of the issue of July %
of your paper will do at all. We believe
in fair treatment to a worthy friend, and
believe that he should have solid estima-
ton proportioned to what his life-work
proves him to be.
If you can kindly inform us of a worthy
man as speaker, through your paper or
otherwise as may be most convenient. It
will be a favor to u.s.
nave read your paper much, and feel as
though 1 was acquainted with you. I do
not wish to trouble you with a long letter.
but others and myself wish to tell Won
now that we will stand by you and support
you as the champion Of our cause and that
we will continue to do so. Yours respect-
fully,

pies party hasrceased to be an Independent
political organiaa ton, and in the future CO
cratic donkey, not very necessary adjunct
case the tail isoaltogether out of proportion
cannot wag The donkey, nor the donkey the
likely to ensue.--
In my very hN9nble opinion, Mr.. Bryan's
chances OF being elected were even better
the Peoples party,
He cannot indorse the two platforms for
the reason stated by Mr. Donnelly, and even
if he should it would only weaken him, as it
would leave him open to the charge Of in
sincerity, and If he does not accept the p
P.'s nomination and indorse it's platform, I
cannot see how he can expect to receive the
support of the Peoples party, standing as
he does upon a platform pledged to the free
and unlimited coinage Of silver, but diffre-
ing from the Peoples party in every other
respect.
We had plenty Of good presidential tim
Der in the P. p. without going to either. of
the old parties, but it was the political
teaches of the Owen stripe, who are ever
found clinging to the real leaders, ham,
pering their every movement, who turned
us over to the Democrats.

1T WASA GREAT PITY TO HANG
HIM.

Fiercely the mob beat upon the door
of the Jail in the little town of Hairy
hide, Texas. Wildly it swung to and
fro in the street upon which the Jail
stood. Angrily it shook its clinched
hands at the barred windows and
cursed the Sheriff, who bravely stood
his ground.
Cruel murder had been done, and
from the first the end was inevitable.
Within the Jail crouched man, the
murderer, pale and trembling. His
doom was upon him, and he knew 1t.
Beside him, his wife; so youthful that
she moved the tough heart of the old
Sheriff to pity, leaned against the
wall. She was weeping, not bitterly,
but with the deep chest-sobs which
denote grief almost hysterical. The
Sheriff stopped beside her.
Don't cry, my woman" he said.
'He will but receive justice for his
crimes"
Yes" answered the weeping wife.
II know that 1t is just. He has not
treated me SO we'll that / should

about nine out Of every ten Of the boys
on this division and am pleased to say that
nine-tenths of them will vote for free silver.
Their reasons for telling the officials that
they will vote for Mckinley is that they
cannot help the cause of free silver coinage

where for the most trivial error they would

fools that they would speak their honest

attention to the fact that according to his

as though it would not stop turning until

This makes me heart sick.
You are gifted with great power to do
battle for humanity that is just now trem-
bling in the balance between liberty and
serfdom; between civilization and barbar-
ism.
Greed, that has strewn the shores of time
with the wreckage of nations is still at it's
deadly work. 1t is taxing all it's powers at
this moment to disnherit and enslave the
masses and defeat the prime object of life
itself, which is happiness.
No, you cannot afford to take the step
proposed and leave your own kith and kin
to the merciless clutch of greed without
protest. By all means reconsider the
matter.

The following poem, roughly translated
by the writer, was written by lowly and
yet popular poet in Iceland, named s.
Briedfjord, nearly a hundred years ago:
It is sad and awful bad
When autocratic brothers
Are taking, mad with conscience dead
The crumbs and bread from others.
This applies quite forcibly to the pre-
sent condition of things even in this 'the
land of the Free Of ours.
The popularity of rhyme alone will, I be-
lieve. attract attention Of a reader or a
listener.
The writer should be pleased to see this
poem used in the present campaign in news
papers, campaign literature and speeches,
as a motto, text, prelude or preamble as
the case might be. Please do it as you may
see fit and think best. Very respectfully,

VIEWS OF CONTEMPORARIES.

Mr. Donnellys candidacy for president
was not pushed and everything pointed to-
wards Bryan, it was finally withdrawn.
Mr.. Donnelly's action at the convention
and his remarks in last weeks Represen-
tative are indeed very different. according
to our observations, and we keep nightly
close watch. He is, however, correct in
many statements and gives a warning to
all Populists to guard against certain indi-
viduals, and right he is. We are learning to
know the men ;Dfskhe party more thoroughly
and know Mr.. DOnnelly is right. The Popu-
lists must be Whtchful in the future and
not allow the party management to go into
such hands. Atitf,e coming state convention
certain individualS should be sat down on
and silenced fNsi the good of the party.
We are with MTloDonnelly in this. We are
not carried awsyowith any demonstrations
or exhibition Of windy patriotism, but pre-
fer good counsel and act for the very best
interests presented. The Populists have
reached a point when they must go careful
and make ROY mistakes. We will discuss
other points at future times.-The Murray

HE Has No Use for Them.
Editor Representative:
A well-known citizen of this city. stem
ographer, had an interview, shortly before
the st. Louis Populist convention with Mr..
s. M. Owen, in which he urged the advisa-
bility Of placing Eugene v. Debs in NOM
ination for president Of the United States
at the Peoples party national convention.
Mr.. Owen stated in reply that he did not
think it was advisable, as such a PROPOSE
ton would be antagonistic to the feelings of
the middle class and the business element,
whose support the Populists desired to OBJ
tain. He further stated that organized
labor deserves nothing whatever at the
hands Of the Peoples party; that labor
had done nothing for the cause or for him,
