II has been the policy or his managers
to refrain from making claims until
they were sure they could subatantiate
statements furnished. All the work
done In the governors behalf has been
done under the auspices OF the Demo-
cratic state committee, which. during
the last two months, has been In cOr-
roapOndcnce with leading Democratic
politicians In every state In the Union.
The first thing Il did was 10 gather the
names OF the state. district and county
committeeman In most NJ the AthteH.
and enter into communication with
these representatives OF the party.
Very little literature IN relation TO the
governor has been sent out. one olrcu-
lar letter. that has been widely distrlb-
uted. tells briefly The story OF his ca
reer.
II II announced that the responses
from over the country have been en-
couraglng beyond expectation. Tho
most announcement continues TO come
from the South and West. a member
OF the committee says that II half the
promises that have been made Hre kept,
the governor Is bound 10 be one OF the
prominent figures before the conveD-
ton. The committee says Indiana Will

Pond Creek, Ok, March 2s.-(Speclal)
This town Is being moved to the new
site, which has just been opened for
settlement. The new site lies in the
valley between Pond and Usage Creeks
eight miles southwest OF Medford,.
Both towns are on the Rock Island and
already a competition has grown up
between them for the county seat.
They are also rivals in trade. The now
North Pond Creek is in the midst OF a
forest of oak, elm and cottonwood trees
beyond which lie extensive farming
lands. Pure water is found under the
entire town at depth of eighteen TO
twenty feet. New buildings are being
erected and the location OF flour
ing mill. with capacity of 100 barrels
a day, has been secured. A Methodist
church will soon be erected and a BANK
and another newspaper are neeuea.

And again: "Mr. Bryan proposes

Still further: "Mr. Bryan denies the
authority Of the President and the

with mobs."
General Sickles would do better to

that the General Is In bad humor be.
cause Mr.. Bryan and a large majority
Of his party friends had the good sense
to get rid Of the barnscles that had
fastened themselves on the Democrat

that had disgusted the country long

among living issues. The bOurbons
have been relegated to the rear and
now they have revenge In abusing Mr..
Bryan and saying ugly things about
him. It is to be hoped that General

Ex-SECRETARY CHARLES FOSTER
has opened his mouth In support of
sound money, and makes lot of fuss
about the dangers Of repudistion,
which he thinks would be an awful
thing. Yet Mr.. Foster is the same
gentleman who failed some time ago,
and whose accounts at the bank were
oVerdrswn $1S5, 900. A bank oVerdrsft
is as dishonest as any other proceeding
which results in person securing
money without giving &h adequate re-
turn for it. If Mr.. Foster will clear
his own skirts by paying up his over
draft and settling in full with his
creditors his warning about the dan
gers Of repudistion may have some
weight. AS 1t is, it would seem that
Mr.. Foster thinks that reputation Ia a
handy thing for him to practice, but q
very bad thing for the people. How
ever, as no one but men Of Mr.. Fos-
ter's class cares to repudiate their just
obligations his manifesto amounts to
nothing,
