There is one thing that can be said
about the Republican parjy-it does not
teach the doctrines of hate and prejudice,
but teaches the gospel of peace, good
WILL and fraternity between the en-
ployer and employe.
The man who would array the poor
against the rich, labor against capital,
class against class, or section against
section, is not a friend of the country,
but an enemy of the very best interests
of every citizen in the country. l would
rather teach that doctrine which is
prevalent this year. North and South,
where none are fer party, but all for gov

wrecked the bank and disappeared
with $4,000 of its cash. He left alb
solutcly nothing in the institution,
which was private concern. Davies
had come from the east with good let
ters and small amount OF money
and started the bank. lie was
located in New York after several

Posses of the infuriated farmers of
Madison county went to search and
caught Streeter. but Davi"s was never
found and is still at large, unless the
sensational story which has just came
out is true 1t is to the effect that he
was lynched by the posse that caught
Strecter.
The story is told by a man named I'd
Jones. who is now in Omaha. lie was
i'm the Madison county jail at the time
Davies and Streetcr escaped. lie tells
the story that after Strecter was
brought back some Of the vigilantes
called on him. and Jones overheard
their conversation. From IL he learned
that Streeter and Davies had been to-
gether when the posse came upon
them in the woods. The farmers shot
Davies full of lead and then buried
him. Strceter was spared because he
sworc never to tell what he knew Of
Davies end.
This story has been known TO Da-
vies relatives and the attorneys in
the case for two weeks, but has just
become public. The officers have been
working on it and are unable To de-
velop much There is great interest

he was first put in jail, and his life
was not considered worth a cent II

AN EXTRAORDINARY CAMPAIGN.

One of the features Of the progress or

presence of Gen. James Ii. Weaver, the
celebrated populist leader. for whose

Gen. Weaver Is a man Of high patriot
ism aud of distinguished ability, with
a mind large enough 10 comprehend
great principles, and entirely too broad
for such narrow conceptions as githsr

lie represents, more than any other
public man. the issues which gave rise
and strength to populism and which
look TO the accomplishment of great
governmental reforms. In his cam
paign of four years ago, in which the
populists of the country honored MIN
with their sufrrages, he announced that
those behind him cared nothing for the
mere husks of Office, but what they
were concerned in was that the govern
mcnt should be run in the interest or
the people-of all the people-and that
they should not be regarded as the
Lewers of wood and drawers of water
for the few men who passed their time
in clipping coupons.
