FROM CAPTAIN LOWE IN THE JEFF
FERSONIAN.
JOHN LIND, IF AND BUT.

JOHN LIND, IF AND BUT.
we confess that our admiration for
John Lind's backbone took great
tumble since he made his speech at the
banquet in Minneapolis. Announce
ment was made that he would tell of
his purpose never again to be a candi-
date for Office, but he failed to put it in
definite language, but instead, left it in
such shape that, under certain condi-
tions, he would be considered a candi-
date. He announced that he was not
a Republican, not even silver Re-
publican, at the same time protested
that he was not Populist, but was will
ling to be Democrat at banquets. He
raised the expectation of the fusionists,
SO that they will put forth their efforts
more vigorously to make him believe
that the whole ticket can be elected, and
thus force upon him the nomination.
We fail to see how some men can con-
sistently support Lind. If Lind is good
enough, Bryan certainly is; and we
would at once become Democratic
fusionists.
Yes, Gobel fusionists; but then. peo-
pie don't stop to think. We need q

Dear Sir: Your letter of the 3Oth
inst, requesting me to vote for meet
Ing of the Populist national committee
to be held at Lincoln, Nebraska, and to
fix upon Kansas City for the holding of
the national convention, is received. In
view of the fact that have not forgot
ten your arbitrary action as chairman
of the st. Louis convention and the late
interview given out by the press, l have
no confidence in any suggestion you
may make. You are not a Populist, as
your whole course indicates that your
influence will be used to kill the party
and build up the corrupt Democratic
party, in order that you may be kept in
Office. recognize your ability and that
Butler is servile tool in your hands,
and no doubt you will succeed in carry
ing the next convention in the interest
of the GObelism, Bryan and the Demo-
cratic party-even if you will be COM
PEELED to fill the convention with Dem
ocrats by unseating true Populists. But
let me warn you and your associates,
that if such should be the fact you will
go down in defeat, for you will never
get the rank and file to vote with you
on election day.
You and your associates have made
yourselves despised by true Populists
and they have no more confidence in
you. If you are misjudged you can re-
1eem yourself by taking a straight
course hereafter and working for the
lpbuilding of the Peoples party, and
the Democratic party as
viper, which it is.
l shall vote for neither place suggest
I'd in your letter.

Tor governor against Lind. | now pre-
dict with either Van Zant or Hartwole
put up for governor by the Republicans,
even with Lind on a fusion ticket, the
stay-at-home vote will be still greater
in 1900 if fusion is again entered into.
In my opinion Hartwole is the
strongest man the Republicans can put
up for governor this year, but with any
good man they are sure winner as
against fusion. If there is any fusion
list who, after looking over the above
figures, will talk about fusion and
sweeping the state, as Bowler did in '9S,
he is either political fool or a knave.
They can in no way blame those they
call MidrOaders, as no one, to my knowl-
edge, who believed in true People's
party principles did turn in the cam
paign to defeat them, and they certainly
did all in their power to drive true
Peoples party men away from them;
and even at this time are doing nothing
to win the confidence Of true reformers.
In view of this state of affairs, it seems
to me If there are any men upon that
June 15 committee who are reformers
at heart they will do all in their power
to prevent any further cooperation or
fusing with the Democrats, and will also
try to purge their committee of all who
favor fusion. Should they do this it
will go far to unite the true reform
forces, and also eliminate that office
seeking element that have done SO much
to destroy the confidence placed in them
r their insane ofnce-ssekins greed. Il

Proclamation,

President Mckinley has issued
the usual Thanksgiving proclama-
ton, setting the date Of Thursday
November go, 1900. The following
is the proclamation:
1T has pleased Almighty God to
bring our nationin safety and honor
through another year. The works
of religion and charity have ever
been manifest. Our country
throughout all its extent, has been
blessed with abundant harvests.
Labor and the great industries have
prospered beyond all PRECEDENT.
Our commerce has spread all over
the world. Our power and influ-
ence i'll the cause of freedom and
enlightment have extended over
distant seas and lands. The lives
of our official representative and
many of our people in China have
been marvelousls preserved. We
have been generally exempt from
pestilence and other great calami-
ties, and even the tragic visitation
which overwhelmed the city of
Galveston made evident the septi-
ments of sympathy and Christian
charity by virtue of which we are
one united people.
Now, therefore, l, William Nc
Kinley President of the United
States, do hereby appoint and set
apart Thursday, the 2o,h day of
November next, to be observed by
all the people of the United States
at home or abroad, as day of
thanksgiving and praise to Him
who holds the nations in the hollow
of his hand. | recommend that
they gather in their several places
of worship and devoutly give Him
thanks for the prosperity where
with he has endowed us, for the
valor, devotion and humanity oil
our armies and navies, and for all
His benefits to us as individuals
and as a nation; and that they
humbly pray for the continuance oi
his divine favor, for concord and
amity with other nations, and for
righteousness and peace in all our
ways.
"In witness whereof have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States TO be
affixed.

To do SO after looking the above

OF the things that no man can

On Saturday Mr.. Stewart was in

the outlook for a big vote for himself
in that county is entirely satisfactory.
There is much feeling against Mutch-
Ter, and that feeling will lead many
Democrats to support Stewart.

Elect Stewart.

There seems to be no doubt about
McKinley's election. There seems to
be some doubt of the next House of
Representatives. 1t is pointed out,
he wever. that the Presidency has al
ways carried the house with it, save
in the election of 1876, when Hayes
had a majority Of one5in the Elector-
al College, while Tilden had a very
large plurality of the popular vote.
OF coulse, the House might be carried
along with tine Presidency if the
trend towards Republicanism is very
large. But a great many districts
may send Democratic Congressman,
although voting the Republican tick
ct. The South, Of course, is a handi-
cap of ia votes 20 start with, and the
Democrats have to carry only eighty
two Northern dist lets, East and
West, to secure the House. Ifany OF
of the big States are at all close on the
Presidential ticket, it would not be
surprising 20 see that number Of
Democrats elected in Northern states,
Still The House is not lost, and il
must be fought for.

Plant Trees.

Arbor day will be next Friday,
Oct. 10th. 1t is good plan to plant
trees, and the fall is perhaps better
time than spring for the reason that
the frosts and rains pulverize and
pack the earth firmly around the
roots, and the tree is already to be-
gin its growth with the opening Of
the season. There should be a gen
erous pruning Of the branches, in fact
failure to do this often results in the
death of the tree, for, while the roots
are largely cut off in transplanting
the top is not balanced to meet this
loss, hence the leaves make more de-
mand than the roots can supply and
the tree suffers and perhaps. dies.
Do not be afraid to use She knife ir
cutting the branches back and thin
ming them out.

THE GERMANS FOR M'KINLEy.

The New York StRats- zeitung.
probably the most influential Ger
man newspaper in the United States.
came out last Monday morning nm
qualifiedly for Mckinley and says;
"The Democrats have not succeed
ed in the attempt, undertaken by
their conven ion, to make imperial
ism the paramount issue and to place
the silver question in the rear.
"Thelr own candidate has trust
rated all efforts in this direction by
his letter of acceptance, in which he
took decided stand for free silver
coinage, and by asserting in numer-
ous speeches that he and his party
had not changed their attitude to-
ward the financial question since
1895. This means that William j.
Bryan is still resolved to use his
whole power to destroy the gold
standard and to bring about the free
and unlimited coinage of silver.
1--WE consider "a Republican vic
tory less dangerous for the welfare
of the nation than the election of
William j. Bryan. 1t would have
been possible to overlook many of
the weakness of the Democratic cam
didate if he had stood firmly upon
the ground he took in his speech of
acceptance in indianapolis. But af-
ter he has shown, in his formal let
ter of acceptance and in numerous
sp seches delivered since then, that
he has not learned, cannot and will
not learn anything in regard to the
financial question, that his ignorance
and lack of perception in this direc-
tion are incnrable, he must be con-
sidered the greater immediate dan
ger.
ut is not we'll to rely too firmly
upon the hope that Congress will not
contain majority friendly to silver.
The lack of confidence in William j.
Bryan's s character is so pronounced
that his election would suffice to
produce grave econonomic convul
sions, even if his hands were COM
pletely tied. Bnt he can do untold
harm without the assistance of Con-
gress. And we must consider that
his election would be interpreted by
the politicians as a victory of silver.
