HIS CHAMPION.

The Little Man Had an Ally and Was Not
Afraid.
There was a crowd on the depot plat
form, and in it little man who was
tumbling over himself to hunt up boxes
and parcels He finally ran against a
man who turned on him with:
''Now, don't you do that again or
you'll hear from me.

things" explained the little man as he
looked around.
"Well, you'll find my boot If you
bump against me like that again.
"Who talks of booting me?"

me that way!'

While the little man skipped for the
waiting room the other took off his coat
and made ready. He was splitting on his
hands, when back came the little man,
but accompanied by a woman who
seemed to be about feet tall and weigh
800 pounds She had hand ON her as
red as lobster and as big as ham,

THE PoPUL1sr SPLIT.
Extracts from the Address Of the
Regulars

The election of Mr.. Pri' chard, the
caLdidate of Hanna, Sherman, and
Wall Street, to represent the silver
sentiment OF North Carolina in the
United States Senate discovers a
startling crisis in the history of the
Peoples party. He could not have
been elected by Republican votes. He
was electe by the votes of those who
called themselves Populists, and at
time when they could AS easily have
elected Pnpulist. Popnlists who
fail in critiral hour to stand for
Populist principles are not the Popu-
lists in whose bands and under whose
leadership the principles of the party
can be Carried TO victory.
They found one of their agents ia
the person of Col. Harry Skinner

:::.........If you would name DR.: Cyrus

his man. He was the very man Col.

they have learned to love; who have

would be q change that would undo
the patient and careful work of years,
