ANOTHER HERO WILL BEAR THE
CROSS TO VICTORY.
BLESS YOUR SOUL, THE PEOPLE
DON'T WANT POLITICIANS.
Brannan, Idaho, Nov. 5. 1899

| appointment as division organizer of
| the Peoples party. In reply, l do not
| know what to say, as l am not a poll
tician and would require much in
| struction as to the duties to be per-
| formed, and, again, l am poor man,
and If the engaging in this business
| should be expensive to me l would be
| unable to undertake it; for, should l
| nave to travel over the country in per-
forming my duties, it would require
| afford
In regard to my politics I will say
that l am radical Populist; have new
er voted a fusion ticket, nor ever will:
was always an Independent before join
ing the Peoples party, and will always
be found on the side of the producing
class, and all the principles indorsed
| by the Peoples party, and more espec-
| tally the referendum and imperative
| mandate. Last election l became dis
| gusted with the Peoples party in this
| county because of fusion, and when l
| see men falling over each other in their
| mad rush for Office and not caring for
the principles of the party but eager to
fuse with either party that would offer
the greatest inducements in the office
| deal, l would not go to the convention
because l was advised that fusion was
the intention. But l will never stay
away again when l am a delegate, for
in the convention they voted me by
proxy as favOring deal with the Dem
ocrats, and all pledged themselves to
be good Democrats from that time on.
The Peoples party has become utterly
demoralized in this county and it will
take lot of exertion to get the proper
enthusiasm necessary for strong or
ganization. l greatly desire to see the
party back to it's standing of '94. In
'96 the fusion deal was entered into and
disintegration began
In conclusion, | will say that I will
do what l can for the cause, so long as
it does not entail too great a sacrifice
financially and of time | can onlv
make my living by a close application
to my business, but my intervals of
leisure l will willingly devote to this
division. After this explanation
should you see fit to instruct me as to
what | am expected to do, and deem
me a proper person for the business,
l will accept the position and do my
best. I am, my dear SIR
Very respectfully yours.

An army surgeon, lately returned from
Manila, tells me the fight to subjugate
the 100000 absolutely ignorant
Filipinos will and must continue into
the next generation. The same surgeon

True citizens will not abandon wealth

stocks? Or, would Christ enter into an
honorable business partnership with
'uch citizens, whose increasing wealth
would then excite to greater activity.
