The big five have demonstrated
that they were never populists, but
simply Office seekers. Having
failed to get Office in the peoples
party they have gone over to the
Mckinley party, and As a reward
get one nomination for justice of
the pence, but he has no assurance
of being elected. A much better
man is on the populist ticket.

The Prospector asks, "Whnt the
people wish to know is this-;s
Mr.. Moody the equal of Mr.. Stat

Moody's supporters are quiet" etc.
There is not a man in Rio

Moody's ability. He is a good
penman, knows how to figure in-
terest, collect taxes, and keep
books. He has demonstrated his

IN a letter to the World.H erald @

In a letter to the World. herald OF
the 18th inst. G. b. Glover says of the
position Senator Allen has taken on
the confirmation of Judge McHugh.
sn wondering tonight how the
democrats who went out Of their way
to elect Mr.. Alen are feeling. This is
a strange world We live in. This is a
bessted land of the free; the land of
free speech and free press, yet If some
men follow tho dictates of their own
oonsciences and refuse to vote for what
tdeY do not believe they are to be con-
Aemned. ~ostracised and declared web.
footed. Senator Allen is a great man,
= representative of a big state, but is
ho taking a brainy statesmsn's posi-
Aon in this matter.
AcHugh's only crime is that he Is a
EevelsnG democrat, and Ghat is the
caiy thiog s,rged against his oondrma-
koe by either Senator Allen sr Senator
T6arsaol, In taking this position
betS these erstwhile statesmen show
tSs Worl& that their mental caNbre is
- small as that possessed by the aver.

1eece Ia favor of the latter, because in
is case we do not lonk for hsns.
