Rev Powell Surprised.

For the past few days the weather
has been warm and Springlike, while
the trees have on their fall-like appear
ance, and the grass looks dark and
drying up; showing that King Frost
has left its biting effect upon it as
striking reminder that winter is near.
Every night, the voters are assem-
bled at their club rooms to be educat-
ed how TO vote on next Tuesday. (3rd
of November). II the peop'e will but
remember how they have suffered for
the past four years. and study the
causes, then go to the polls and vote
to the interest of themselves and fami-
hes. There need not lie the least
doubt that when they arise Wed nes-
day 4th, their fondest hopes will be
realized. Mckinley will be President,
Hobart, Vice President; and Judge
Lewis Congressman from the 3rd dis
trict Co'ored men, stand for Protec-
tion and Republican principles and in
few short months you will have work |
and means to support and comfort |
your families.
