The FIGURES Prove IT.

In 1890 the populist and demo
cratic majority in Hand county was
| 231.
Although on the wane in 1892
enough OF that wave held over to
give the pops AZ plurality
In 1894, four years after the POP
wave fiourished, Hand County re-
turned to the republics n column,
with plurality of 53 for governor,
and elected all republi can county
officers except two.
Then came the silver waye of 1896
which gathered democI ats, populists
and silver republican enough to
give the county to BRYAN by 116.
Like the pop wave iU carried over
till 1898, but greatly reduced the
fusion MAJORITY. The vote on Con-
gresham, which represented the
only national issue fell. from / l6 for
Bryan in 1896 to about an even
thing in 1898. The average fusion
majority on the stf,te ticket w.ts
only 81 votes.
This brings us up to 190O-iust
four years after the second wave
and here history Will repeat 1894.
Today there is not particle OF the
silver wave left, and silver reDubii-
cans have returned to their old
party.
Today there is no populist party.
because democratic leaders have
captured it. Many oTdaline popu
lists who we're once republicans will
not consent to be sold out to democ-
racy.
Today none oi the old strong pop
ulist leaders are campaigning the
county as in former years, and the
party management is in the hands
Of democrats, who are disorganized,

Prosperity.
And will so record her vote on
next Tuesday.
Swept away from her, republican
mornings by two political waves sac
returns home after they have spent
their force.
Twice in the brief history OF Hand
County have we passed through a
political prairie fire. The popuist
wave of 1890 swept over these
praries with race horse speed that
orooked no opposition, and the
most determined fight along it's side
lines could not whip the fire out un-
I'll 1894. Then it subsidized, and
Hand county once more took it's
place in the republican column. So
died populism.
But hardly had we settled back in
10 the old order OF things when some
man named Harvey went moseying
around the financial stubble field
wlth a lighted pipe. Aspark ignited
the a6 to l blaze and free silver
hurricane rushed it over every
hreguard that could be made. and
aWaywe went again. The wind blew,
the fire ragged, and a motion to sus-
pend the rules and make the craze
unanimous in Hand county would
nave carried July 1st, 1896.
but it was a spasm, and could not
last. The wind quieted down, and
the fragment Of a republican party
started to work again beating out
the side fires. Yes, we were u little
tlmid ut first. He iests at scars
who never felt q wound" and we
Aad been caught in the fire once.
IN 1893, two years after the wave,
the Tree silver majority was cut in
Two, as the populist majority had
been in 1892.
so, in 1900, we tackle the head
nre, and expect to overcome it, ,as
was done in 1894. Hand county is
normally republican. Twice it has

reason that as take it the issue
