cerning the bubaie schools. wnA 70
state, in reply, that they made several
mistakes.
/. They say that the Ben Williams
aid Simmons Creek schools contain
only nifty pupils, when they contain
seventy-nve. Tho Simmons Greek 50
and the Ben Williams As.
2. They say If these two schools were
made one, and located In the center Of
the settlement, the furtherest. children
would have only 81 miles distance to
come; but II our friends will come and
measure the distance, they will see 1t
will be at least AZ miles distance for
At least one-third of the pupils, should
the schools be combined.
1t seems that our friends of the Hell
ton school want to rob US of our school
funds, but as the honorable School
Board has given US justice SO far, we
trust they will not yield TO their sug-
gestion, but continue our schools.

In Iowa and Illinois = fusion of
all the forces in favor OF the cleo
ton Ut Bryan has been arranged,
the PopuIists and free silver Repub-
licans getting representation on the
State tickets nominated by the
Democratic party, snd in return for
this favor have pledged themselves
to vote for the presidential electors
namei~by the Democrats. Promi-
nent leaders of the Democracy in
Ohio are in conference with the
Populists and silver Republicans,
and it is quite probable that fusion
will also be arranged in that State,
as the farmers are organizing BrY an
clubs in nea.ly all Of the rural
counties. In view of the fact that
the Republican farmers and the
Popuists have broken down party
lines. the Democrats claim that It
will not be difficult 70 hit upon some
plan wlsicls vii: unite all the ele-
nents favorable to the election Of
Bryan.
