Peoples Party, the party who will work for
yours and my interests" as certain man
in this county expressed himself when he
refused to accept Republican chairman
ship.
We are also glad to note that the report
that our state senator had abandoned our
cause was fauise and misleading. This, to-
gether with his absenting himself at the
vote on taxation of railroad lands has made
dividual from his own district, of which,
surely enough, the Republican party will
draw as much benefit possible. 1 think
general statement refuting said past accu-
sations. should be written by the senator
himself. and literally printed through the
state. In recent issue of your paper the
senator has assured of his fidelity and
adherence to the party, and verify why
should he not? Honesty and square deal

public, the government Of which should be

MOUTHPIECE OF REFORM.

Editor Representative.
Since the Representative IS getting to be
one of the best mouthpieces for the reform
movement wish to let my friends and fell
low men hear from me. 1t is not for the
sake of giving new points for the battle of
reform, but for the sake of encouraging my
good fellow men that are fighting the battle
for the saving of the human race. 1t does
not take so very much of thinker or OBJ
server to see that now within short time.
thu final settlement will have to be met. The
question must be solved whether we shall be
slaves or free. Think of that, dear breth-
rem. Is not that worth the trouble to go to
your fellow neighbor and ask him to take
hold with you and help preserve yours and
his liberty: I intended not to show up the
crimes that have followed this criminal gov
eminent. 1t is pretty well known. It is
peeping into almost every mans house. but
/ wanted to urge you my friends, reformers
and seeing men. to talk kindly to your old
party neighbor Try to have him converted
for his own good and of course for all of u.s.
Let him read some of your reform books
Ten cents spent on him may do, with some
kind, honest talk.
Ignorance is more the trouble with the
people than anything else. They are duped
by party bosses and unprincipled politicians.
but we are gaining every day, and next Mo-
vember we will have rope enough to hang
