There should be strong, aggress-
i've and active Populist organization
in every township in the State. Ii
they are not already organized steps
should be taken as soon as possible
to perfect an organization. The Peo-
pies Party is the only hope of the
masses Of this country, and they
should rally to its support. As a
party 1t is opposed to fraud, force
and ballot-stuffiug in elections. If
the peoples political liberties are to
be preserved in this State, they must
organize at once to defeat the mo-
bOcracy now in control.

Issued, indicate some slight i'm
provement In the condition of the
cotton crop In consequence OF which
there has been dec inc in the
price, cotton has been carried to
market so rapidly in some sections
that the receipts are larger than for
last year. This gives the specula-
tor an opportunity to depress the
price. II cotton we're marketed
with some system the farmers
would be greatly benefited. The
crop is short and farmers should not

Col. Bryan had the largest crowd

speaker in that State. 1t was con-
tinuous ovation to him during his
brief stay IN that city, He has made
number of speeches in New York

are good for carrying it. However,
the result in New York, where all

An unf ir and dishonest election
aw should have no place on the stat
ute books of this country. Every
vote that is cast should be honestly
counted.
A man who will commit perjury
and steal ballots will rob a bank if
the same opportunity for escape is
afforded him. Every man who be-
lieves in honesty should use his in
fiuence to have an honest and fair
ballot law enacted when the Legis-
lature meets. There is no excuse for
the present Infamous law to rem ain
on the statute books.
