The Webster REPORTER NJ FARMER

boys? it was Jensen 1t is very evil
dent that the intention was to mislead

johnson, oil Sisseton, wrote the letter,

"Well", said the Repub., ''you deserve
great credit for it: that was a fine letter"
And he claimed TO be a good Christian,

The frantic efforts being made to
discredit she author of the Jensen
letter and to dodge the real question
by the Sentinel would lead to a be-
lief that there was something in it.
1t is evident that such a letter was
written by e whether over a
fictitious name or not, and that the
editor of the Sentinel was charged
with other than middle road
conduct. These charges should have
the attention of Editor Sherin as to
their truth for the benefit of himself
and party.

Editor Reporter and Farmer,
Dear Sir:-I am in receipt of the
Day County Herald, also a special
press edition of March 26, 1896. l
have also received one or two pre-
vious issues of the Herald, and l
hereby take this means Of notifying
the proprietor of that paper that he
may as we'll stop the mailing of it to
my address now as any other time.
am always ready and willing to
read good wholesome literature,
whether political or otherwise, but |
cannot stand that kind which is
tainted with anarchy or verging on
anarchy, or libelous in nature.
The Republicans don't deny but
that there are men connected with
the party and with every other party
the pop party not excepted mot
withstanding that Senator Kelley of
the Herald may be a little angel in
disguise) but what have made mis-
takes, and some of them have proven
to be rogues. AT the time of Tay-
lor's defalcation aud Sheldon's great
Fit. Sisseton raid and destruction (so-
called by the populists), the press
reviewed it all and exposed it, and
every reader is familiar with the
facts yet without having it rehashed
up again in the shape of a dime novel
with the exception of not being
bound in yellow covers.
1t is very true hat we have men
in the party who have gone wrong,
but this can be said of every party.
The populist party, for the short
time it has been in existence, has
probably furnished more cappers and
bloodsuckers, who maintain an ex-
istence by flching from the common
people, than both the old parties
combined. The facts prove this as
sertion.
Now Mathematician Kelley and
his followers heap disgrace upon
disgrace and blaclSen our fair state
to its detriment with their great SEN
%sational novel, "The Story of a Great
Crime J" 1t is further stated in the
Herald of March 20 !: that our po-
sition is one Of Implicitly and fraud ;
a policy of traitors, towards, and
charlatans I; the utterances of a party
that has SO far ~degenerated that it
has no higher ambition than the
spoils of Office (; a party led by the
most INSCRIPTIONS, unprincipled
gang of political bandits that have
ever preyed upon a civilized people,
the purloiners of our prosperity,
the debauchers of public virtue, hon
esty, truth, and patriotism, who
blindly seek to lead a well-meaning
but poorly-informed party, hide
bound people, to industrial disaster
aud national oihfaos.
Now what kind of stuff is that for
an American people to tolerate +?
What is the motive that prompts
such language and such actions ?
Does it not ea.:aate from g mind
depraved, sodden, and selfish motives
to further political ambition and
blind the body polite, as to the OBJ
jcct in view, while he slides in and

Saturday as per agreement at the

well under way,-in the neighbor-
hood Of the sucking calf episode
when WaltStafford entered the room
and all at once something dropped.
The paper was out of sight in an in
slant, and for a short time the school
was at a loss as to how to proceed,
when in comes O.. O. Pitcher. After
a little longer for deliberation, it
was suggested that be call
ed upon to make a speech. Finally,
it was moved and seconded that Mr..
Pitcher make a speech. The motion
prevailed and Pitcher very modestly
addressed the chair, politely excused
himself as not being present for that
kind of a p~reliminaries, and only for
the purpose of listening and getting
a few pointers. A general discussion
on silver and national banks was
suggested. A few hits were made
in this direction, when it was moved
and seconded that Mocking Birds
communication in the Reporter be
read. The motion prevailed, and G..
G. Lasell, secretary, read it, after
which the school resumed the general
discussion of silver and the national
bank. During this, the school rather
had Walt Stafford on its hip. W.P.
Jackson arose to a point of order,but
Walt was equal to the situation and
politely excused himself as being
accustomed to the precedent with
MIR. Philleo on the streets, and adj
mitted that the point was we'll taken.

WASHINGTON, April 28.-The officials

for the Cuban insurgents. The crew of
the Bermuda were recently discharged

dition similar to the present, and
the officials do not see that any
good purpose would be served, even if
the facts are as stated, by again plac-
ing them under arrest. The promoters
Of these expeditions, it is said, seem to
be perfectly familiar with the law gov
erning such cases and are very particu-
lar not to do anything that would
bring them within the law prohibiting
armed expeditions from leaving our
coasts for Cuba. 1t is probable there
fore that nothing will be done in this
case, except to see to it that the laws
as recently interpreted by the courts
are not infringed,

perfected, Chairman Scott, Of the CEN

simultaneously, each bowling the other
down. The disturbance continued for
more than an hour Each convention

1900 revolvers, 5000 machetes, 5,OOO,.
600 cartridges and 8 Hotchkiss and
gatl1ng guns.
There was little danger of inter-
ference, as the Cubans had chosen their
time well. The United States revenue
cutter Boutwell, left here for Charleston
Saturday, and every official connected
with the United States court was out of
the city and not expected to return
until noon. These are only coinci.
dences, but they have driven the Span
ish vice consul wild. His men have
tried to enter the dock but have been
prevented by Cuban sympathizers. The
vessel will try to land on the coast OF

She may meet the Spanish cruiser
