others are now fusion candidates for va.

made deal and traded certain Offices off
to the populists without asking the people.
we think the voters of this couaty who are
in favor of fair play will make the re-
elections for county officers this coming

the front again, not with any argument in
favor of free silver 10 to I. and without
even denying that good times and good
prices are here, but with low multer-
ing about me having voted the Popu list
tickets few years ago. Now il is very
clear why be does not say anything in
favor of the favorite hobby of free silver.
because that theory is dead and deli vered,
it is lost cause; it cannot survive the
present rush of prosperity.
The principal theory was that prices
we're low because there was a lack Of
money and this shortage OF money was
caused by the "crime of 73." Now prices
OF many things have doubled and all have
advanced. and the ''crime of IS" has not
been corrected. 1t was said last year
that when a man became affected with the
free silver disease. he could only see in
one direction. Now I'D. J." has symp-
toms of the disease yet because he makes
a fling at me for having once voted the
Populist ticket, and am now for the gold
standard.

of fatism and was able to give good rea-
son why he was for sound money, now
talking about ''crime of '73," Wall street,
Lombard street. money power, Plutocrats

but it has slipped his memory; when his
fever has cooled down thoroughly, and he
begins to recognize some Of his friends, be
will then recollect the history OF the sill
yer legislation. and how disastrous iatism
has always been. to every country that has
tried it and will again be advocating sound
money. Now ID. IT," for your sake
