Congress-, added to personal traits that
are fit supplement to his intellectual
acquire ments, the Review Appeal hopes
that he will be the choice of the people.
The indications strongly point to his
nomination, and his career in Congress,
We are confident, will be of that useful,
loyal and creditable description that
will reflect honor upon the people who
have honored him. He has won the
confidence and admiration of the people
of the district, and his future will be
worthy of the trust they repose in him.
He has conducted his campaign in a
manner that has attracted marked at

has been the target of continuous abuse,
and Misrepresentation, but he has risen

ABSOLUTE FAIRNESS.

The contest is open to
Daily and Weekly subscribers
alike, and the conditions are
easy. 1t matters not whether
you are an old subscriber or
a new subscriber; whether you
are a subscriber to the Daily
or Weekly HERALD; whether
you are in arrears or have
paid in advance. The simple,
single condition is this:
PAY A DOLLAR AND
GET THE HERALD AND
A GUESS.
If you are already paid in
advance, that dollar will pay
you that much further in adj
vance, and that guess may
get you the Furniture.
If you are in arrears, that
dollar will pay that much of
the debt, and the guess may
give you rich mans couch
to sleep upon.
If you are not subscriber
it is time you were, and now
is the time to begin.
In the Ph9ton contest the
early guessers as a rule came
closer to the mark than the
late guessers. SO don't wait.
Guess now! Then, later on,
if you wish, pay another dol
lar and guess again.

his boyhood and that all the money
in Wall street could not buy him.
Pleased to Talk to Farmers.
Mr.. Bryan began his speech by re-
ferring to Mr.. Wilson in most COM
plimentary terms. He lad known Mr..
Wilson in congress and h. had never
believed that so kind and loving a
man could indorse war of con-
quest.
Mr.. Bryan expressed his pleasure Mt
being able to address IN assenbla2c
of farmers. He wanted to know how
any farmer could be a republican. u
was easy to understood, how the
head of trust or an army contractor
could be member of that party. he
said, but as for the farmers, they
were not trying to get their hands
out of their pockets. However, pros
porous other classes might be, the
farmer was not sharer in that pros
perity. Here Mr., Bryan related the
current reports concerning his oat
crop, claiming that the exaggeration
in this matter was a specimen of fall
lacious reports in the east concern
ing the prosperous condition of the
agricultural classes.
Republican ExaEgeratiOns.
They always exaggerate the possi-
bilities of good crops" he said, "and
never take into consideration the like
lihood of bad crop. And, after the
farmer has taken these chances. he
passes between the bulls and bears
of Wall street. The bulls horn him,
the bears bite him. and when he il
through with them he has to mees
the gold bug. A good crop is made
the occasion for praising the repub-
lican party" he continued, while a
bad one is taken as a punishment for
voting the democratic ticket. The
claim is almost made that the repub-
lican party" he continued, while -
this can not be true, for il il were
there would be a monopoly on rain;
the price would go up"
Farmers Need More Money.

sion of the financial question. show

necessary TO the farmer.
