 Evergreen, July 16.-In this county there is no republican ticket. The negroes, who compose the republican party, have met. and while they did not indorse the demo- crats, they resolved that the populists were not friendly to the negro. They are sim ply bidding for the money, and the party that has the most of it will win, as they constitute the balance of power in this county.
 Populism has not near the strength 1t had two years ago. The rank and file have become disaffected They have not the leadership they once had and there is little or no enthusiasm among them. In their primary they did not poll their accustomed vote by about 200.
 The dry weather in May and June en- abled the farmers to clean their crops and there is better prospect for an abund- ant harvest than for many years before.

CAMPAIGN IN CLEBURNE.
The Democrats Seem to Have Routed the
 PopuIists and Will Carry the County

Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald.
 Edwardsville, July 16-The county court
 of Cleburne county has been in session
 this week and a number of cases have been
 disposed of The grand jury finished its
 work and adjourned yesterday, after hav-
 ing returned about twenty-five true bills.
 Although much has been said against the
 county court the people begin to realize
 it's importance and therefore the grand
 iury's report yesterday gave it strong
 indorsement.
 The populist party in this county have
 made no opposition to the county court,
 their only issue in the county campaign and are telling the people that 1t is an enormous expense to the taxpayers--an ad- ditional expense of from $1,700 to S2OoO per year-but the records show that 1t has been a saving to the county, and has dis- posed of about twice as many cases as dio the circuit court in the same length or time. We have called upon them for a sta tement made from the records, but they refuse to give it or to admit the records, which are kept by men of their own party, as evidence. They see now that they have made a mistake, but they have gone so far that they cannot now break down. The ,populists opened their campaign yes terday at Shoal Creek with a very small audience and with practically no enthus- iasm.
 The democrats open their campaign next Monday, and they are going to make 1t warm for the pops until the polls close on the first Monday in August. The party was never in better trim for campaign in this county and no one doubts that every man on the democratic ticket will be elect ed by a handsome majority. Even many of the popuists admit their defeat. Only yesterday one of the populist nominees said to your correspondent that he was tired of politics. From present indica- tions the democrats will carry this county by from 250 to 400 majority.
