Populists in selling out to Democracy
must be rebuked. L. c. Bateman,
the Populist candidate for governor
in Maine, and the man who is trying
to force Senator Allen to notify Bryan
and Watson OF their nomination, has
just received three very important
letters, showing that the Populists
are with him, and that Bryan must,
as Mr.. Bateman says, Accept
Tom Watson as a running mate or
give place to Col. Norton on the Pop
ulist ticket. The movement to sub
stitute the name OF Col. Norton for
that Of Mr.. Bryan has spread too rap
idly to make it possible to check it in
case Bryan does not accept our nom
ination with Tom Watson and endorse
our platform. 1t will be a Populist
presidential ticket whether 1t is Bryan
and Watson or Norton and Watson

WHY THEY HESITATE.

Sonora has one mine which IS mountain of silver ore. Recently the owner-an American-said to THE OASIS editor: "We have enough ore in sight to yield silver sufficient in quantity to pay. at the present price, the national debt of the United States" In due time THE OASIS will present ar extended account of this property. In the state of Durango Maximillan Dam has just another such property. Just the work of develop ment alone has already yielded him a fortune. and he has millions of tons of high grade silver ore all ready to be stoped out and reduced. In the St. Louis Globe Democrat, recently, wal ter B. Stevens described another such property on the eastern slope Of the Sierra Madre, all opened up ready to yield untold millions, and now wenrich- ing the owners, at present. prices oi silver. in the returns from the ore taken out in development work. In Australia, the Broken Hills mines are of the same description. It is the knowledge of the certain output O. these properties which makes the financial and commercial world so du- blous about trying the experiment of free coinage of silver.

Ix SOME quarters TIE OASIS editor Is freely criticised for attacking peo- pie. All such critics should bear Tn mind that all whom he attacks are attacked openly and have a chance to reply. He does not whisper about town. secretly stabbing his adversaries --as they have done by him through many mont hs-but he attacks them openly and without fear. He has never done anything wrong, and they know it: he has never proposed any thing unfair to them, and they know that.

 About the only 'powers" in his home county opposed to Editor Bird are the following of the power" who knocked Editor Kelly of the Bulletin off the percn of district court clerk ship; and in this case he cannot wield the same kind of a club. As Editor Kelly was nightly pleased and ex- pressed his delight in print to see the gentleman to whom allusion is made knocked out in the recent election in Pima county he should reserve his comments upon those whose action so nightly pleased him.
 But when TIE OASIS man wants to get to the republican pie counter he will ask the endorsement of Editor Kelly. It would go farther and do more than the endorsement of the gentleman who knocked him out, and all the oath bound, stab in the dark following he has gathered about him.
