The Free Silver party is far stronger
in this territory .hsn it was two years
ago. Then parties were largely lined
up as partisans and we're governed
largely by prejudice and the old party
ties and assimulations. but today these
ties are loosened and men will exer-
else their own free will in the choice
of the men for whom they will cast
their votes. Outside Of he officehold.
ers there are few men of the old par
ties who believe the gold standard is
best for the great and common masses
Of the people and although they
do not rush out on every occasion TO
Haunt their opini ms amid the ringing
u bells and & e beating Of drums, they
are determined to support the policy
and men who aud the closest to
them and what they conscientiously
believe ii for their best interest and
the best interest OF the country.
They know that this country was
prospe Gus and happy under the old
system when both gold and silver was
the basis Of our currency on the term
fixed by the constitutions, and they
know that under that system the
farmers got just aud fair prices for the
products OF their farms. They know
that under that system when the
farmer planted his crops Ia the
spring he could reasonably anticipate
that his labor and time would weld
him a Just recompense at tha autumn
and fall harvests. They know that
il is not the case under the present
system where one half Of the old time
currency has been destroyed.
They know that since the destruc
tion OF silver as the sister money metal
OF gold thore has never been any sta
oility in the prices OF agricultural
productions and there never can be
until IL is restored to its legitimA e
position and rehabilitated with its old
time power Of which it was uDjustly
robbed
II takes men often long time 10
see aud understand what is to their
own interest, and the two last years
has been prolific in opening the eyes Of
the people-the bone and 'iuew-of
the country TO the real purpose hich
operated TO force the single gold
standard robbery into power In this
land. Upon the destruction of silver
has been builded those immense cor
porations Of wealth and trust which
regulate the currency OF this whole
country and Ok the price OF everythi, z
that grows out OF the soil in obedience
70 the labor Of mans hands.

The ballot to be voted at the No
sember election, it is insisted by some,
will cause more or less confusion at
the polls. The names Of all the can
didates for Office must be printed on
one ticket. The voter must make a
check or mark opposite to the name Of
every man he desires 10 vote for. No
straight yotiog can be done. A mark
at the head Of one group Of names, as
was the case heretofore, will not be
counted as vote for any name on the
ticket. No one in the voting precinct
is allowed TO instruct the voter how To
prepare his ballot This Inhibition
