publisher success and an abundance of

The POpu1ist Journal feels proud OF
the candidates on the Populist ticket
and wants everybody else to feel the
same way. Well, it seems that most
people are disposed to think that If
fortune should SO order it, that Barker
and Donnelly should be elected, the
country would be in safe and worthy
hands. This is what the Journal says:
mo ticket in the field is equal to Bar
ker and Donnelly for learning; for pro-
gressive principles; or manly dignity,
and all that goes to make up the true
American. Bo tn have regulations not
confined to America Mr.. Barker is
known In the business world. In Eng
land among business men he stands for
an integrity excelled by none. Russia
has highly honored him, as has also
China. He Is known as a master in
financial affairs. In this respect Arthur
Balfour, of England, counts him the
easy equal OF any man in America.

W. o. Atkeson is pushing the work
in Missouri with vigor. In closing an
address to. the Populists of the Sixth
district he said:
During September we hope to visit
all the counties in this district; but it
is useless to do so If you do not put up
local tickets and organize. If this is
not done we can do nothing for you, nor
you for us. That is the thing to do now
Get at 1t. Don't lie down. Don't be a
coward. If you will not fight for your
self, look up an old stump and sit down
and wait for reform"
AS an evidence of the high place held
by Mr.. Atkeson in the estimation of the
people of the Sixth district, it may be
said that he is now their nominee for
congress: he will poll big vote and we
hope he will be elected.
