SIdtuldp6u upon teturnlng TO the
fight for republican presidential
candidate. In avowing the cause
OF the party which presents Nc.
Kinley to the country, 'Harper's
Weekly deliberately leaves the
false gods Of democracy which il
followed for years, at last con.
WINGED that the democratic party
is party Of destruction, and that
the safety and honor and prosper

the republican"
Waco Telephone: at is evident
that there is considerable opposi-
ton in the populist party to the
Endorsement of Senator Teller as a
presidential candidate. Senator
PETER Of Kansas voices this opposi-

York democrats realize that they
would be at such serious disadvan-
tage in attempting to uphold or
defend Free silver platform in
their state as would make nomina-

draw from the national organiza-
ton and put out no electrical

selves to local and state offices.
And this course may be followed
not only by New York, but by all
the Eastern states in which the
sound money sentiment is too
strong for any free silver foolish
ness"

surveyor, taken in while construct
