Without n Following

Rich Hill Review.
G. r. Wolfe, of Usage, who was
the candidate for Presiding Judge
on the Peoples party ticket in this
county in 1894, had gone bag and
britches into the Bryan Democracy.
He went in SO. We met him last
Saturday; and we state this. that
populists may know where AID what
he is now. We believed he had
come out of that rotten old organi
zation to stay; We had faith in him;
but he fell from grace and may
never attain it again.-Butler Free
Press.
For the benefit of Editor Atkeson
the Review will state that Squire
Wolfe Is not the only populist down
here who refuses to follow Ats mid
die of-the-road policy-inaugurated
in Bates county solely for Ats self
personal ends. Most of the popu.
lists in Osage township were popu
lists from principle, and while few
very good men still allow themselves
to be deluded by this spook of the
middle of-the readers, the great ma
jority have had their eyes opened
long since to such fallacy w J.
Bryan and the Chicago platform
came nearer expressing their ideas
than the inconsistent hogwash dIFh-
ed up week after week by this
would be middle of-the road apostle
Editor Atkeson Is simply a leader

composed of volunteers, there being
only about $4,000 regulars.
It is possible that not all these
