and a credit to those executing the
work. Especially, on account Of our
locality and intimate acquaintance
with the institution, we most heartily
approve of the State Agricultural Col

Leedy for appointing a Board OF Re-
gents which had the courage to do
what fair men in all paries have rec
ognized should have been done years
ago" Resolutions relative to initi-

The resolutions indorse Governor
Leedy, approve the course OF Insur-
ance Superintendent McNall, oppose a
special session Of the Legislature un-
less the Governor has positive assur-
ances that railroad bill can be passed,
and demand economy in public affairs.
Free silver is indOrsed the power to
issue money by banks is denounced,
and it is declared that this power
should be vested in the general govern
ment only. The arbitrary interference
of Federal courts in State affairs Is
strongly denounced. The convention
was a large and harmonious one. The
ticket is made up of strong men, and
Mitchell county Populists, who have
always made a splendid record, will
make this year no exception to the
rule. And in so doing they will give
the people a county government which
will save them money and give eff
cient service.
In NeOsho county the POpulists have
nominated the following ticket: Treas
urer, Seth Nation; Clerk, Foster Allen;
Surveyor, N. V. Cook; Register, J. w.
Locke; Sheriff, Jesse Parsons; Coroner,
J. A. DeMOss. The last three are Dem
Ocrats and the others POpulists. The
first two resolutions are as follows:
CAS- Populists of NeoshO county, as
sembled in convention, we acknOwl-
edge the beneficence of higher power,
and congratulate ourselves that the ap-
palling distress which has overcome
so many millions of our fellow beings
in other States and countries is not
with us to any great extent. While
large districts have failed in crop
products, we have plenty. Other States
are still held under the ruinOus rule
of Republican demagogism, but ours
has come into the enjoyment Of a
strong, wholesome Populist govern
ment which, alone, restores confidence
and places us in the front rank OF
States for credit and stability. 1t
would seem that fortune is trying, in
measure, to answer for the loss Of our
great money metals by the discovery Of
gold in large quantities. AS true POpu-
lists we sincerely hope that the work
Of discovery may go on until money
shall become so plentiful that not a
living soul among us NAV be deprived
