The Populist papers are heralding
Mr.. Leedy as "a farmer" They are
mistaken--he tried to be a farmer but
was so dismal failure that he lost his
farm by foreclosure and is a grain and
stock buyer. A failure at one thing
NAV also fail at another.

an address at Canton, Ohio.
This sentiment, uttered as an od-
hand observation alter an eloquent
tribute to the bravery Of his old
comrades in arms, will live longer
than any utterance contained in the
long and labored effort Of Mr.. Bryan
delivered on the same day in Madison
Square Garden. 1t consists OF only
forty-nine words, but it contains
more sound political sense more
economic science, more unansweraple
logic and more patriotism than can
be found in the 10000 words Of Mr..
Bryan's speech Of acceptance.
Mr.. Bryan used 10000 words to
make plea for a special class OF
citizens residing in one small section
Of the country, who have product
upon which they ask the government
to stamp a double value. Mr. Mckln-
ley in forty-nine matchless words
made a plea for the grand army Of
American toilers in the workshop and
on the farm.

policy that will enable every Ameri-

which a circulating medium, be 1t

Il am satisfied that the San Diego

to the litigation. and further, that il
they were made parties to this suit the
