Senator Tillman's relationship TO-
wards Governor Evans has been sc
misrepresented that the Senator is
considerably annoyed thereby. He
says that Evans has. been foully and
maliciously dealt with, for the pur.
pose OF defeating him and the dis.
rupting of the Reform cause, and
while Senator Tillman does not die
tate to his friends for whom they
should vote, be feels that to sit quiet
ly down and allow his friend and
trusted co-worker slaughtered by
Misrepresentation, would be crime
against the honest farmers through.
out the State who are the strong pill
lars Of the great Reform cause. Till
man says that John Gary Evans has
been true in every position he has
held and the fact of Tillman going
to him in his hour of peri! and stay.
ing with him is proof sufficient that
Tillman wants his friends to support
Governor Evans. To repudiate
Evans means reputation to Tillman
and as sure as night follows day the
whole Reform structure will go down
too.

A TIMELY REMINDER.

Each season forces upon our consldera-
ton its own peculiar perils to health. The
advent of fall finds many reduced in
strength and vigor, poorly prepared to
continue the business of life. The stom-
ach and bowels, the great highway of ami
NAL economy. is especially liable to disor-
der in the fall. The nervous system ha-
also suffered in the struggle. Typhoid te-
yer and malaria in particular find in the
fall that combination of earth, air and was
ter that mark this season as especially
dangerous. The falling leaves, the decay
ing vegeta bles, contribute their share of
contamination. Hoods Sarsaparilla fur
nishes most valuable safeguard at these
important points, and shozld be used in
the fall before serious sickness has laid you
low,

GOOD ROADS AND BRIDGES.
Mr.. Hudgins Gives His Views and
Would Like to Have the Views
Of Others.

VI OCnerS.
Mr.. Editor:-From some remarks
I made at Manning on the day of the
meeting there in regard to improving
the roads and bridges has caused
some to be alarmed in case OF my
election that I wonlu ruin the county
by running it in debt. For their in
formation would say the supervisor
has no authority to create single
debt, nor would the county board
have the right to issue single bond
without authority from the Legisla-
ture which they would not give with
out being petitioned by large ma
iority of the free-holders. So there
is no cause for alarm, though I will
venture the assertion that if every
man in the county could be ap-
preached and asked what be would
pay annually to have irst-class roads
and safe bridges that the amount
would reach ten to fifteen thousand
dollars, and they would save money
by the investment in time, wear and
tear to stock and vehicles. With
good roads and bridges in five years
your lands would double in value
and in ten years your population
would double.
The county is in the back ground.
Why not bring her to the front rank
as in former years. We have been
waiting for some one to come in with
capital. They are not coming and
we don't need them. There is plenty
here. Ali it wants is for the people
to come together and as one man
take hold and push the county af-
fairs forward, making the best we
can of what we have, and when that
is seen help will come.
Every man in the county should
not only take the county paper but
some otner newspapers 10 see WnaC
is being done in other portions OF the
State. Then use a quantity of print
er's ink; it is a powerful lever in
pushing enterprises. Keep your ed
itor posted of the progress of your
section; it is not only read by the
people of your county, but all over
the State and ont of it, too.
I have merely given my views and
would be glad to have the views Of
others on the great, important SUBJ
ject of good roads and safe bridges.
Most respectfully,
r. +. HUDGISs.

Mark Hanna of Cleveland and Kohl
saat of Chicago and other members
of the millionaire syndicate made
this platform and nomination months
ago and simply went through the
form of gathering together the sym
patEizers at St. Louis and ratifying
the platform of their choice.
If the scheme relieves the iucreas-
ing want and depression through oat
the country, it will receive the bless
ing of all good men; but if it fails to
do SO, rs I believe it will, it is but the
beginning Of the end of the greatest

greatly increased by the single gold

.S<~S<-

The primary election of last week
brought with it rejoicings to few
and heartaches to many. The sue
cessful candidates were naturally
made glad and the unsuccessful ones
were disappointed. Then there is
another set who have yet to learn
their fate and they will, after next
Tuesday, join either the glad OF the
cast down. A primary election puts
a man to the test; it gives the people
an opportunity TO see whether he is
one who is afflicted with a political
tape-worm or if his professions to
them while he was canvassing for
votes were genuine. The candidate
who after having gone all over the
country pleading for votes and failed
to get those necessary ingredients to
get Office must resign himself to his
fate and come to the conclusion that
the people did not know him as well
as he does himself But when de-
feated he becomes sore and dis
gruntled and swears that this man or
that man knitted him, be may think
he is talking to sympathetic ears,
but he is not. In nine cases out Of
ten the people to whom be tells his
tale of woe go off and laugh at him,
and when he comes out as candi-
date again they remember how sore
he was before, and they use it to
electioneer against him.
Immediately after the votes were
counted last week the snake-work of
election schcmers began and one of
their favorite methods was to take
candidate aside and whisper into
his ear that certain candidate had
used the political knife on him and
that be must in turn get his friends
to defeat that man. These schemers
may gain great deal of satisfaction
from such methods, but fortunately
the average candidate can see through
such tactics and will not be fooled
thereby.
1t is really amusing at the pre-
sumption some people have; they
with a bold face approach man and
proceed to play upon his disappoint-
ment, without for moment giving
the man addressed, credit for having
sense enough to see through the
game. Why any man who was a
candidate in this last election knows
the working supporters of every can
didate in the field and when one OF
these supporters. approaches, with a
cock and bull story about A having
knitted B thought of curiosity
mingled with contempt must run
through the mind of the man ap-
preached. His curiosity is aroused
to know why this heeler should in
this, his hour of defeat become so
much interested in MS health and
welfare and he feels a contempt for
the man who would so presume upon
his manhood and intelligence.
We say to the defeated candidates
no man IS responsible for your de-
feat; it was a case OF choice from
many and those who were chosen
came into the world under lucky
star. Some day your turn may come,
so do not become disheartened and
by all means do not let your disap-
pointment become a running sore to
become offensive to those who did
not, as we'll as those who did support
you.

schemers to ruin Governor Evans
and the Reform cause contemplated.
When Mixson made confident of
Duncan, if he did SO, he had no idea
that his own integrity would be
called into question. He did not
know that his conduct towards Evans
opened The eyes Of Evans friends and
that they will ferrit out just why
Mixson started to injure the Govern
or by whispering SANDER into the
ear of bitter enemy and all Of sud-
den crawls away and refuses to open
his mouth.
Can it be that aIixson deliberately
slaudered the Governor and then be-
came alarmed at his fendish conduct
or is he afraid his own sin is being
daily brought to the public gaze?
Mixsor's game in this affair re-
minds US of the darkey who had just

lifelong Republicans vote their chill
dren into slavery for the purpose OF
insuring protection? That is a ques-
ton which each man must settle for
himself. I was born and bred d Re.
publican, and have been a Republi-
can all my life, and shall preach the
doctrine that has been taught to me
by the party in the past and not the
new departure that was adopted at
st. Louis, which I believe if adhered
to would be destructive to the best
interests of humanity and would in
time deprive US of our civilization.
We should be able to learn some les
sons on this point from history.
SOME ANCIENT HISTORY.
The Cleveland and Carlisle plan
was tried by the Phenicians, bnt un-
der this system soon went to decay.
Greece afterwards tried it and fell a
prey to the Roman legions, as it's life
blood had been sapped. The Ro-
mans then finally fell an easy victim
to the same pernicious system, and
now in 1896, it is proposed to try the
experiment of following in their foot
steps.
As rule men are slow in changing
their politics or their religion, and I
think the loyal Republicans of the
past will hesitate before adopting a
new creed, as it is a doctrine that
was never heard of before in their
party councils. Daniel Webster de-
clared that Liberty cannot long en-
dure in any country where the ten
dency is to concentrate the wealth in
the hands of the few," and this is the
testimony of history. When ancient
Egypt fell, 2 per cent. of its people
owned 81 per cent. OF its wealth.
Persia fell when ! per cent. of the
people owned all the land; Babylon
when 2 per cent. owned all the wealth
and imperial Rome did not succnmb'
until 1890; persons owned all the
known world.
The single gold standard was never
advanced except for the purpose OF
making the rich richer and the poor
poorer, and is crime against the
republic and against humanity. The
st. Louis convention no doubt did
the work it was selected to do. It
was really not a convention strictly
