last night Mr.. Terry said:
Politically, everything is one way In
Arkansas. All Democrats will support the

What few gold men there were have

THE Popuiist vote is not large, probably
ranging from $4,000 to 80 900 votes.

AT first flush the nomination of Watson bY
the Populists seems to complicate matters
considerably, but in my judgment all will
be simplified before long, as the Populists
will put free silver before a squabble over
the Vice Presidency
I'm my mind, the nomination of Sewall
was wise STEP have never liked to
see silver regarded as sectional issue, and
his nomination tends to dispel that fancy.
In fact, it is national question, and 1
