Trick to Injure PopuIists.

COLUMBUS, Ind, Aug. 7.--U. M. Brow
der. the Populist candidate for Congress.
by David Powell, Of Greensburg in which
Powell charged that the Republican COM
mittees We're paying the, expenses of the
Popul1St campaign. POwelfS letter appeared
first in the indianapolis Sentinel and was
copied yesterday in many of the Demo
cratic papers of the Fourth district This
evening at the courthouse Mr.. Browder
publicly repeated his letter. The lie will
react on the Democratic organization. The
letter is as follows:
desire to call your, attention to David
PowelPs letter, now going the rounds just
on the eve of the election, intended to de-
Mr.. Griffith. David Powell is a Democrat
and is employed by the Democratic parry
to aid in the election of Mr.. Griffith by the
publication of what l said % him respecting
the proposition the Populists made to me,
viz, that they the Populsts would pay
cept the nomination. This David Pcwell
knows to be true, and anything MIR. Powell
says to imply that / had any reference
whatever to the Republican party furnish
ing money to pay my expenses IS nalic-
ious lie manufactured by him out OF whole
cloth. David Powell knows that had no
more reference to the Republican patty
than l had to the M K. Church of Indiana,
and any effort on his part TO leave tie inn
preston on the minds of soDdlists that 1
had the slightest intention to sell Oat to
the Republicans is an effort on his part to
beat the devil lying and 10 deceive my
friends at time when he supposed l would
not be able to undeceive them. lJis Cwn
words carry. with them his eternal con-
demnation-showing that under like c1rCum-
stances he himself would fall easy prey
to a bribe. David Powell, as a matter Of
fact is the first and only man in Indiana
letter is intended to lay at my door. Let it
be distinctly understood that all l said
to Mr.. Powell was with reference to my
own people-the Populists. No Republican
ever mentioned to me the matter of pay
ing my expenses, directly or indirectly, by
tongue or by letter nor was l ever in a
an. Powells reference to me writing to
an editor in Indianapolis, alludes to my
lean Nonconformist who has aided in rails
ing the means of paying my expenses In
this race, which he has done manfully
through public solicitations through his pa
per and not through any consultation with
Republicans or any body representing the
interests of the Republican party.

them to obey their bishops and clergy and
to respect their employers. The French
pilgrims loudly cheered the Pope with cries
