have $4,000, and the Populists $4,000.
They give the Republicans 100000 ne
gro votes.

The Populist tickets have at last
begun to go out, after the other parties
have delivered their tickets to the
counties. When asked if he was not
rather late in getting his tickets out,
Chairman Aver replied: We'll / can't
help it." There has been some talk
that Aver wanted the Populists to vote
for Russell, in return for Republican
endorsement given him for Auditor. He
says not, bn5 that Guthrie is on the
Populist ticket, and all Populists who
stand by the regular organization will
vote for Guthrie.

AVER CALLS THE TICKET BOGUS.
Chairman Aver received a ticket to-
day containing the names of all the
Populist nominees with that of Joseph
S. Adams for Congress. The ticket
was headed Peoples party ticket.
Mr.. Aver denounced the ticket as a
fraud and humbug and seemed very
indignant that Mr.. Adams name should
DC on OIe dckcb. lie says Rlcnmond
Pearson is the Populist nominee and
no ticket is genuine without the Dukes
name.-Press Visitor.
Boggs, chairman of the Populist COM

that the Populists have not nominated
Pearson, and that under no circum-
stances viii they vote for him, but will
support Adams. 1t would seem that
Mr.. BOggs ought to know.
