ANOTHER JOAB.

W. o. Atkeson prints excerpts from
q speech of Hon. D. A. DeArmond
is congress, and calls it good popu.
list doctrine. He even grows enthu-
siastic and adds his applause, in
brackets. after the telling points.
He says bravo. and pats Judge De-
Almond on the back and tells him
to hit 'em again. And yet he, Alike
son, tried to elect Lewis in 1894.
Lewis, the nominee OF the republi-
can party, who was and is unutters.
bly, opposed to every sentiment
which Atkeson pretends to believe
and applaud in DeArmond, and he
would have accomplished Judge De-
Almonds defeat had not some sincere
and conscientious populists who held
principles above spoils, realized the
situation and come to his rescue.
Again in 1896 Atkeson made another
effort to defeat DeArmond and elect
Hamilton, a man of mediocre ability,
who since the election has had innu.
merable charges of corruption made
against him by members of his own
party and now stands indicted by
the Bates county grand jury for
perjury, in drug store whisky
case. But that time the issue
was so palpable that the great
m ,jority of the console entious men
OF Atkeson's own party repu'
dated his advice and voted for
Judge DeArmond. We say that
Atkeson tried to elect Lewis and
Hamilton; because he knew, and
every thinking man and politician in
the district knew, that the contest
was between those men and Judge
DeArmond. That the latter repre-
sented more neatly the views of the
populist party on the two great
questions, the tariff and the curren
cy, and that an effort to divide the
reform forces was giving assistanc,
to the common enemy, the republi
cans. Furthermore Atkeson viii
try to defeat Judge DeArmond il
1898. What do the plaudits of such
man avail It recalls the story o
one Joab, so graphically told IN ht
