OUR STATE TICKET.

Before this issue of our paper
reaches its readers the POpulist
State Convention will have met at
Alexandria, and named our ticket.
This will be the largest and most
representative convention the Pco-
pies party have ever held in this
State.
That there will be a strong con-
servative Populist ticket named,
there is no doubt.
The Democratic press has been
teeming with telegraphic and edi-
tOrial assurances that Republi-
can combine had been effected by
which we would name practically
Republican ticket, and the DEM
ocratic politicians and office-seek-
ers have been praying that it
should be done, but if they ever
believed that their predictions were
true, they will be gloriously dis
appointed when our ticket is named.
The Republicans have promised
to vote our ticket, in the hope of
defeating the sufferago amendment
and securing fair elections, but if
they have ever hoped to name the
most important places on our tick
ct, they have much mistaken the
men with whom they are dealing.
The ticket will be a surprise to
both the Democrats and the Re-
publicans, but we believe it will
be satisfactory not only to the Re
publicans, but to all the opposition
to the ''machino ticket" that is al
ready IN the field
This Populist ticket will be
placed on a short, yet decisive plat
form made up of State issues from
Populist standpoint, and the Oma-
ha platform will be indorsed rs is
usual in Populist State Conven-l
tions.
Every indication goes to show
that there never has been such a
splendid chance for Populists to
win in this State, and the ticket and
platform will be one of which eve-
ry Populist will be proud, and one
that will command the respect and
support Of a large element in both
the old parties, and we should now
begin to take of our coats, roll up
our sleeves and get ready to make
the fight of our lives for liberty.

brought the State bonds ''to par" !"
This has been done by increasing
taxes by raising the assessments.
Thore are more tax payers in Lou

now let the People get together and
elect Governor who will bring
the taxes ''to par" with a mans

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES
No Place for POpulists.

In the great sham battle among
the Democrats over the Lottery
IN 1892, the said Democrats in
their eagerness to whip each other,
begged and persuaded, and partial
ly succeed in inducing, men Of all
other political parties to 60 into
their primaries and vote. Ever
since that time this practice has
been kept up, and people who do
not believe with the Democrats and
do not expect to vote with them on
election day have been prevailed
upon to participate in their pri-
maries.
This is very appropriate thing
for the Democrats TO do, because
their party is an aggregation Of
political nonderscripts. If Dem
ocrat IN these days is anything at
all, he is everything. In that party
You will find high tariff men and
low tariff men, goldbugs, siver-
bugs and greenbackers, lottery and
anti-lottery, prohibitionists and
anti's, single takers and double
takers, Republicans, Populists and
Democrats heterogeneous mass
led by ballot-box suffers and bull
dozers-a cosmopolitan conglomer-
alton.
The Democratic party, therefore,
is not hurt by this indiscriminate
participation of members of other
parties in its primaries. 1t is
rather benefited by the addition
of pure element even though
temporarily; and it is not there
fore in the interest of said Demo-
cratic party that we would warn
the Populists and Republicans of
the danger, but in the interest of
the individuals themselves.
OF course men may vote in a
Democratic primary and after
wards get converted-see the light
and vote a different ticket on
election day; but for a mana
MAN-to belong to one party and
deliberately go into the councils of
another and participate in its le-
gitimate work, knowing that he
will not abide by it, but expects to
another ticket, that man
is engaged in very little business,
and will soon forfeit the confidence
and respect of bis friends in all
parties.
Populists therefore should keep
out of the Democratic primaries
tomorrow. 1t is no place for
them. Tho rules laid down by
the Democratic managers forbid
anyone but straight Democrats.
They tell you that you are not
wanted and you should be men
enough to stay away in spite of
their persuasions on election day.
You may have a friend in the Dem
ocratic party whom you would like
to assist, but do you know that
you will be doing that friend an
injustice by pushing him out as
the nominee of the Democratic
party to waste his time and money
in a fruitless effort to win the Of

JAPAN is right up to date in final
ces, also. A dispatch says: The
sharp fall in silver in London is be-
lieved to be due to the fact that Il e
Chinese indemnity to Japan, so far
&c paid. was deposited in the Bank
Il England and has been turned
over to the japanese Government,
which, instead of spending it in
the purchase of silver for use in
Japan, as expected, is now lending
it in the London market. This is
construed to mean that the money,
which was paid in gold, will be en-
pended in Europe, probably in II e
purchase of warships and material.
This is naturally very disappoint-
ing ITO the London spectators in

Iated very large stock of it, and
has caused them to unload, with
the resulting decrease in price.
