IT certainly stands to reason that
every Populist who is at heart for
free coinage of silver, will vote for
the Bryan and Sewal electors, be-
cause every thinking man knows
that is the ticket to be depended on
70 carry Tennessee. A vote for the
Bryan and Watson electors is equal
to half vote for McKinley-just
as vote for the Palmer and Buck
ner electors would be. Do not fall
into the traps set by the gold-bugs,
who have no hope of electing Nc
Kinley except by dividing Bryan's
strength. The Repu blieans are
even aided in their underhanded
work by so-called Democratic and
Populist leaders, who for reasons
best known to themselves or with
out reason are trying to breed dis
sension among honest silver men.
A great crisis in the affairs of our
government is at hand, and it be-
hooves every honest man to consid-
er calmly and without prejudice his
best interests in the matter and vote
accordingly.

TIRE PEOPLES OPPORTUNITY.


THE. election Of a President this
year is far more important to the
people of the United States than
any that has taken place since the
formation Of the Government
If the people wish to perpetuate
the domination and control Of the
moneyed syndicates, the monopo-
lies, the trust companies and the
national banks, they certainly can
do SO by voting for Mckinley, who
is the exponent Of all that is unjust
and against the interests of nine
tenths of the American people.
If they desire the laws OF this
country to be executed with equal
ihstice to all, the trusts broken up,
the money changers, the monopo-
Nists and the national banks shorn
Of their power to oppress them, the
raid on the Treasury stopped and
wholesome laws enacted for the
benefit Of mankind, they will vote
for Bryan.
The opportunity is now offered
to the people Of the United States
to- wrench the control of the Gov
ernment from the enemies of the
common people and transfer it to
the keeping Of those who will ad-
minister it to all alike, as was in-
tended and advocated by the i'm
uiortal Jefferson.
A government Of the people, by
the people and for the people this
IS what we want, and what we will
Get if Mr.. Bryan is elected.

FOUGHT FOR TEN DOLLARS.
One Is Dead; The other Is Behind the
Bars.

New York, January 4.-Henry Rodi-
quez. 20 years old, died at midnight last
night from injuries received at prize
fight. Rodiquez had fight with John
Shagner, aged l6 years. for purse Of $40.
The fight WAS arranged under the Mar
quis of Queensbury rules and ten rounds
were to be fought unless decision was
reached sooner.
There has been bad blood between
Rodiquez and Shagner for some time and
each boy was determined to win. They
en- tered the ring at 10. 80, both stripped
to the waist. Rodiquez soon forced the
fighting, rushing wildly at his opponent,
who met his attack coolly and showed at
once that he was the better man. The
blows of Rodiquez were Of little account
while Shagner appeared able to strike
him at will AS round after round was
foul hit, the superiority Of Shagner became
more and more apparent, and he soon
had Rodiquez at his mercy When the
men came up for the tenth round, Roui-
iquez tottered to the middle of the ring.
Although scarcely able to put up his
hands he Was game to the last. He put
up his hands in feeble manner and
Shagner, watching his chance, struck
him powerful below on the point Of the
right jaw. Rodiquez fell in heap on
the floor in an unconscious condition.
His seconds picked him up and attempt
ed to resuscitate him. For nearly an hour
they worked on him, pumping his arms
to induce breathing and forcing liquor
down his throat but to no avail. Eight
young men picked up the unconscious
form and carried 1t home, quarter of a
mile away. Shagner was arrested today
and sent to the Tom BIS without bail BY
Coroner O'Meagher, as was also his Sec
ond, William Keener. Three others were
sent to the House of Detention as wit
neSs6s.
