Fooled the Farmers.

Senator G. +. Scott, who has served
with Leedy in the senate, says: "We
have been told by men Of unimpeach-
able integrity that they had heard
Leedy, sitting around the hotel at
night, chuckling and Boosting about
the way he had bulldozed the farmers
into compromising their claims
against the railroad for half what
they at first demanded. And the at
torney for that branch Of the Missouri
Pacific told us that Leedy was so
ignorant that he never could learn to
fill out properly the printed blanks
that were furnished him. Leedy
was right of way agent for the Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad in Colley county
a few years ago and it is said that he
heeced every farmer through whose
land the road was bultin that county

DON'T BE DECEIVED.
Fusion Electors Are Arranged to Con-
fuse Voters.

One Of the tricks Of the fusionists
to deceive the voters is in the ar
rangement Of names Of the ten elect
ors on the Peoples Party and Demo-
cratic tickets. OF course every man
knows, or should know, that only
votes for electors count. At the top
Of each ticket are the names Of candi.
dates for president and vice president
but these should not be marked. In
the electors that follow in the two
tickets named the arrangement is as
follows:
Peoples Party. Democratic.
Morris Cliggett Sidney Haydan
Albert Perry Joseph B Goshorn
Geo. T. Pitts W. H. Linton
Sidney Haydan Earl NJ Blackstone
Joseph B. Goshorn Chas. A. Hitler
W. H. Linton Jas. r. Logan
Earl M. Blackstone H. J. Roetzell
Charles A. Hitler Morris Cliggett
Jas. R. Logan Albert Perry
H. j. Roetzell Geo. T. Pitts.
10 the casual observer it appears
that there are different lists of names;
in fact they are the same names in
both columns only arranged in
different order so as to confuse the
voters.
Every man named Is a Democrat
and will not vote for the Populist
convention nominees under any cir
cumstances. The names Of Bryan
and Watson are put over the first
column to deceive. Watson has with.
drawn from this ticket and declares
it an outrage. The electors will vote
for national banker, a millionaire,
the head Of great trusts and a
man who makes all contracts payable
in gold, for vice president. The only
set of electors who will vote for
Bryan and Watson, the Populist nomi-
nees, has been showed to the right Of
the ballot under the heading "Middle-
of-the-Road Populist."
Study the ballot and do not be de-
ceived.

that l will faithfully and honestly
endeavor to comply with all the
requirements Of law as to settlement,

to acquire title to the land applied
for; that am not acting as agent Of
any person, corporation, or syndicate
in making such entry, nor in collision
with any person, corporation, or sym
dictate to give them the benefit Of the
land entered, or any part thereof, OF
the timber thereon; that | do not APP
ply to enter the same for the purpose
Of speculation, but in good faith to

have not directly or indirectly made,

These are the facts. Mr.. Vickers
swears on his oath that he intends to
90 to Oklahoma. To hold his claim
he must be there by March, 1897.
If defeated he will 60 sooner.
If he will deny this intention over
his signature it will debut there
will be a chance for somebody to
jump good claim then.
1t is fair to him to presume that he
told the truth in his affidavit. He
has no interests here. Dickinson's
representative should be one Of us.

WILL RiHovE TO Al OKLAHOMA
CLAIM.
HIS SOLEMN OATH TAKEN.
Says he Il Hot the Agent Of Anyone
But Intends to Make a Home for
Himself and Family Near Enid.

J. R. vickers, Pop candidate fol
representative, has no more use fol
Dickinson county except to draw q
little salary at Topeka before ne goes
to Oklahoma. His organs have fixed
up a fairy tale about bis acting for
somebody else in taking an Oklahoma
claim but Mr.. Vickers has never de-
MED the REFLECToR's statements.
Nor can he. They are proved. AT
the Abilene National Bank may be
seen certified copies from the United
States land office Of the documents.
Mr.. Vickers sold his farm in Flora
township Sept. "a to George Brown
for $4,000. He went at once to Enid,
Oklahoma; selected a claim about
eight miles distant, bought its re-
linquishment for 1925 and filed on it
in the United States land office.
He then returned, kept quiet about
his trip and sought to be elected re-
preventative. That is the kind OF pol
itics Populism leads to.
The documents which prove every
statement the REFLECTOR has made
are copied as follows:

willing to be blulfed in this manner
made up a purse, which, together
with the entrance fees, made sum
quite sufficient to satisfy all success
full competitors and fine days sport

GL|MPSES OF india.
DIR. HAUsER MAKES A PRACTI-
CAL ADDRESS.
Free Silver the Curse Of midas Busi.
nsss-How It Works Against the
Laborer Fair and Full Discussion.

One Of the interesting and instruct
i've Republican addresses Of the cam
paign was that in the wigwsm Tues
day. The meeting was preceded
by an attractive Flambeau club pa
rade and about 500 people listened for
over two hours to a practical discus
sion Of the actual workings Of free
silver in India by DR.. |. L. Hauser, q
merchant who does business between
Chicago and Calcutta, India. For So
years he has resided in Calcutta and
in other countries Of the Orient and
speaks from personal knowledge OF
laws, customs and monetary systems.
He said India is on q free silver basis
yet it does business on gold basis,
though with a tluctuating actual
medium; that prices OF commodities
had increased in value but wages Of
laboring classes had been decreased;
bullion ION change" in Liverpool;
that the bullion is quoted in gold.
Every morning every merchant
in India receives quotation Of the
price Of silver and changes the prices
Of his goods accordingly, as the price
Of silver advances or declines. This
did not bother the merchants much
20 years ago when silver was not
changing in value but with the de-
creased price Of silver, merchants are
or the verge of bankruptcy and they
cannot much longer stand the con-
tinued decline Of money. "Silver has
been the curse of India" he said. A
petition signed by all classes was re-
Gently presented to the Viceroy OF
India asking for return to the gold
standard and he, with his own ap-
proval, presented it to Parliament; as
a result OF which the Herschel COM
mission was appointed. Inspection
would have been enacted into law but
for, the antagonism Of the money
brokers OF Lombard street who charge
a commission for changing the silver
rupee into gold which India must use
to purchase goods. This together
with the immense revenue to them
on the fluctuations Of silver induced
the brokers to spend immense sums
to defeat midas return to the gold
basis. "No one," said Dr. Hauser,
"would be more rejoiced today if the
United States would 60 to silver
basis than the brokers of Lombard
street, London" Concerning the
condition Of the laboring classes he
said they were the worst affected Of
all; that they live on what we waste
use weeds of the field for food; they
cut off and eat the tops of onions,
carrots and other vegetables. Their
condition is due to having to buy on
gold basis and have wages paid in
deprecated silver. Their money is
"cheap," over $500 pieces Of com
mon coin being required to be worth
% cents. He warned the people OF
this country against initiating India
and said the sorriest day for US
sorrier than when war devastated the
land-would be when we adopted free
coinage and gave our currency to
monometalism. Dr. Houser's mine OF
information seemed inexhaustable
and he made a splendid impression
Every Bryanite should have heard
him-had they done so, none would
remain.
