Those Promises.

Four wears ago. George Vest, Senator
Cockreil, Jno. W. Stokes and whole
lot OF those fellows In fact the woods
were full OF them, promised the farmer
81 bushei for his wheat, in fact that
everything he had To sell would bring
more, while everything he had to buy
would be cheaper. These parties prom
ised tie farmer he could hire help cheap
er, and promised the laborer that his
wages would be higher. The whole
party promised higher prices fer the pro.
ducts uf the producer, and lower priced
goods to consumers. They promised
better times for the county. On these
palpable lies Democracy got into power.
These promises have been miserable
failures. For the splendid prosperity
OF the Harrison administration, ii has
substituted the imbecility OF an sdmin-
istration, supreme IN all departments of
the government. The Mckinley Law
paid s236, ,OOOOOO Of the public debt, and
raised enough revenue besides to- pay
the running expenses OF the govern
ment. The present administration hat
created an annual deficit Of sI0,OOO.UC
and increased the public burdens "f the
people s262.000.OOO. in times OF peace
Property everywhere has deprecated
and business is dead. Gloom and ae
spondency, business depression and hn-
apc,al ruin have settled down upon ou.
people. To avoid the responsibility OF
their failure. that party has cut on ''s
head, which it blindly followed ani paid
homage to four years ago, disciaifn7 u.
acts and now this same gang comes OUT
with a new set OF promises. hoping u
bumbug the people and get new lease
of uower. The people OF Holt count,
will keep their hands out OF the tire al

What They Said.

candidate for congress was the editor of
Gazette at that time. aud is the editor
now.
j = 1T is all very well to predict
populists gains, but before rushing to
the conclusion that any such thing is
GOING TO OCCUR, it would he good
idea to take into consideration the rec
ords the Popuiists viii present for the
approval of the voters. The efforts to
incorporate Mrs. Lease with ALL HER
VAGARIES into the state government,
have resulted in SCANDAL.

point to the PITIAELE FAILURE of
Wait? Will they recite the history of
Gov. Tillman's MOB RULE, BLOOD
SHED AND VIOLENCE in South
Carolina as sample and fruits of Popu-
lists? Who would expect good RE
SUITS to flow from the SUCCESS of a
party which. wherever it has achieved
victory. has signalized its INCAPACiTY
TO WISELY EXERCISE AUTHOR

- 4 The Poplists have no hopes
of carrying a single representative or
senatorial district. What goOOd results,
then, can DEMOCRATS ROPE to at

greenback party IN DISGUISE with
such embellishments as the subtreasury
scheme.

EMINENTLY QUALIFIED to lead his
party to DEFEAT. He has stepped the

In speaking of the Populists when as
scmbled at Omaha Mr.. Cochran ridicul
ed the farmers in that convention in
these uncomplimcntary terms:
The calamity howl at Omaha got lost

The Reality.

The imagination shrinks from the
sickrning spectacle of the condition Of
domestic commerce and finance which
must attend and long succeed this DE-
struetiyc disruption OF our foreign finan-
cial relations by the adoption of free and
unlimited coinage. The reality. Indeed,
would far exceed anything ths anticii,a
ton could foreshadow. What would be
the wrcckagc of our banking and credit
systems. represented by s5.215.O00, ,00D of
assets, all thrown into confusion: by 3d.
i75.UDO.OW of loans and discounts
placed in suspense and unrcnewable
when liquitlated: by S2,SOO,Wp.OO of
private deposits, the payment of which
would be thrown into uncertainty: by
s:>0O.OOG.OW of legal-tenlcr assets, the
resumption of which would be suspend
ed? Where. again. would our savings
banks stand, with their 81 ,Si0.W0,0Uo
deposits, representing the savings of
4,WO,OW citizens of small means? Can
any apprehension over-estimate the dis
organization Of business and the ruin of
credit that would attend such disrup-
tion of our whole financial system? The
unprecedented bank panic of 1885,, would
be the veriest triiie to the banking and
monetary crisis incident to the introduc-
tion of free coinage. The whole system
Of agencies incident to industry and to
the transaction of business would be
thrown into suspension. with what col
lapse Of industry and trade il is ne, dless
to indicate in detail.
This enumeration of consequences is
no mere theorctic portraiturc. 1t Is IL
sober and unrcstriincd deduction from
IN obvious process of cause and effect
Of which no candid economist or intelii-
gent man of affairs would deny to be- in
separablc from such Il violent monetary
revolution as the silver faction proposes
to introduce. History presents no in
stance of the deterioration of Il money
standard unattended by II consequent
violen, disturbance of the foreign ex-
changes and by distrust and collapse in
domestic interests: no case Of forcing
into circulation dubious and tiuctuat-
ing currency alongside one of stable val
Tie without expcllins the superior money
from the country or out Of circulation.
Every nation has bequeathed us lessons
e. l. Il 10, fr1A h.,
ty of its currency.
The Republican party would prevent
this financial wreck and ruin. and its
candidates represent the party that IA
vors sound and stable currency. Re
member this, and remember that our
ticket is composed of the following ex-
cellent gentlemen, who each deserve your
cordial and hearty support:
Vim. Mckinley for president.
Il. f. Lewis for governor.

Greeting: This is to certify that Orville

"A regular contention of the Peoples Par
ty of Missouri. held at S,edalia, Mo-. AS
the candidate of said party for the office

nomination WAS duly filed in this depart
ment ha, declined tn accept such nomi-

ance with section i1I0, X. -. 1889. and
filed in this Office October IL. lS.h.

Since the withdrawal of Mr.. Jones.
DESPITE the urgent request for him to do

highly indignant. They consider the ac
ton of Mr. Jones as nothing more nor
less than complete sell out" to the
Btpnviilc national banker. by which he
receives the benefit. and the Pupulists
are BETRAYED at the eleventh hour. This
sudden action of Mr. Jones has acted as
"A match to dry fuel.
How man of average intelligence and
especially one who took occasion to up
hold his belief with the strongest and
most thoughtful argument on every oc-
casion that presented itself could he con
vinced of the error of his way in SO short
a time. the conscientious Populists all
over the state cannot figure out.

The idea that man can vote Tor

the Democratic nominee for congress in

branches of the government. thereby
rendering the work of both to- far rx-

1t seems that Brother Bryan was
fishing for two positions at Chicago at
the same time. He wanted to he press
agent for theatrical company or to get
the domination for the presidency from
the Democratic party. He was eligible
to either position and there was nothing
dignified or improper in any American
citizen wishing to fill the Office Of presi
dent or that of press agent for theatri-
cal company or any other decent posi-
ton. but we:.have observed that he who
grasps for too many things at once is apt
to lose all.
On our supplemental sheet will he
found a complete COPY OF the election
laws of this state, and it will be well for
Judges and clerks as well as voters to
read it CAREFUL: before election day.
