A. Alderman, Mapleton, Mimi, writes:
Enclosed you will find rs cents from
Mr.. George Phelps of Mapleton He is
another convert from the G. o. P. by
reading The Representative. I am doing
all an old man can do for the cause in this
oid-party Stronghold l have spent a
long life in the old G.. o. P. ranks, and
litical love; and am reminded of the old
hymn:
Nothing but love had to give,
Nothing but sin did | receive"
K. o. Walters, Hamilton, Wash,
writes:
Please send me by mail rs copies of
your paper and I will try to get up a
club. / understand that your paper is
fighting fusion, and are opposed to drop
ping the Omaha platform for the silver
the Omaha platform for the silver
party's single issue. If that is the case
we will stay by your paper, and do the
best we can for you. If the silver party
wants free coinage of silver let them
join the Pops. They are the oldest sill
yer party.
Jacob Twining, Newton, Bucks Coun-
ty, Penn. writes:
| think We have the people pretty we'll
stirred up in this gold-bug locality, but
as yet we have SO few willing to put their
hands in their pockets to help the thing
along. 1t begins to look as if the ava
lanche is coming, if we can only man
age our forces and not get tricked with
some of the treacherous Republicans.
P. E. Van Blaricom, Long Prairie,
Mimi, writes:
Enclosed please find check for 81 to keep
me solid with The Representative, as no
man that is a true patriot can hardly do
without it. The keenest of the old par
ties are weakening fast. In Long Prairie
we see the effect. The two old party pa
pers, one Republican, the other Dem
ocrat, short time ago they each had a
harp or horn to toot on. But now they
both toot on the same horn, and the only
distinct sound is Lee, Lee, for Governor
Then they muff1e the horn to keep it
from sounding the note. They want
Banker, who charges the people outrage
GUS interests, for Governor.
May the great God help The Repre-
sentative and other reform papers to
strike straight from the shoulder and
enlighten the benighted people.
]. M. Elwell, Zumbreta, Mimi, writes:
We think there would be at least 300
in this vicinity who would subscribe for
the Norwegian edition of The Represent
alive.
James Shannon, Clearwater Mimi,
says:
Through the kindness of some one am
receiving your valuable paper. l wish
there were more papers like it. There
is more sound sense in one copy Of The
Representative than in a dozen of these
other papers.
Inclosed find 10 cents, for which please
send the paper to the following address
for three months.
&c. Evans, South Bend, Mimi,
writes:
Send two copies Of your very valuable
Representative for six months. l want
to keep one on file, and have one for an
eye-opener to those dead in transgres-
sion and sin. But I find dose of DON
nelly, Coxey, Wayland and Arkansas
Kicker sprinkled over them make some
OF the dry bones show signs of life.
wish l could do more for The Repre-
sentative.
John T. Tykeson, Kennedy, Kittson
County, Mimi, writes:
1 like your paper very we'll, and wish
it was in the house of every farmer and
laborer 1t would do immense good. 1t
seems to me that Uncle Sam is like one
of us farmers who has mortgaged his
homestead, and the sheriff is getting
ready to make foreclosure sale and
drive the old man out of the premises
and make him homeless. But the differ
ence is that while we have none too
blame but ourselves, Uncle Sam has
his servants 10 blame, and 1 am sorry
to say we have been electing them.
NOTHING BUT THE PEOPLES
PARTY.
Tune-"Nothing But the Blood of Jes-
u.s.
What can give us liberty?
Nothing but the Peoples Party:
What can make this Nation whole?
Nothing but the Peoples Party.
Chorus
O, glorious is our cause,
That makes us love it so;
No other cause Just now,
Nothing but the cause of freedom.
For reforming we shall try,
Nothing but tht Peoples Party:
For our brothers deep in debt,
Nothing but the Peoples Party.
Chorus
Nothing will this Nation save
Nothing but the Peoples Party,
Naught of good in gold bug rule,
Nothing but the Peoples Party.
Chorus
How can monopoly be overcome?
Only through the Peoples Party,
How can Wall street be turned down;
Only through the Peoples Party.
Chorus
How can silver be restored
Only through the Peoples Party.
How can the sale of bonds be stopped?
Only through the Peoples Party.
Chorus
What has caused these bitter hard times?
The Republican and Democratic parties,
What can bring good times again?
Nothing but the Peoples Party
In Gospel Hymns, embracing numbers
/, 2, 3 and 4, No. 1872 is a grand old Meth
odist revival hymn, Nothing but the
blood of Jesus" Apply the above words
to that good old hymn, and see what a
good campaign song We'll have. if sung
in the good old shouting Methodist style.
Respectfully submitted,
IT. S. Fisk.
