 c. c. Clemens, cousin of Mark Twain, and one of the founders of the Populist party in Kansas, publishes a letter today in which he declares the party dead. He says: TT
 .'I stayed with the Peoples Party till I saw the last nail driven in it's coffin by the identical ones of convention folk, who are determined to soil their shoes by walking in the middle of the road. and pretending to be a picnic excursion, in- stead of a funeral procession.
 ''The party is dead. The people now seeking to persuade it to sit up in its coffin and disturb the well-intentioned people invited to the funeral were its as- Sassins.
 Tt should refuse to let them use it for their own political ends, and, like de- corous corpse, should allow the obsequies to proceed. Some Populists are Repub- licans; some are Democrats; some are, and always have been .Prohibitionists first and Populists afterward, and some are Socialists.
 Let us each seek his own political home and thus compel the party wreck CTS to do likewise. As for me, this year I belong to no political party.

SAC HARBoR" AT THEATRE.
Poor Play Presented by Acceptable
 Company.

Sag Harbor" waA disappointment to Montgomery. Managed by Liebler x Co.,, written by the late James A, Herne and with a successful New York run behind 1t, Montgomery looked forward to it's presentation here wlth some degree of pleasure This anticipation caused the disappointment to be keener. The com pany presenting the play was not en- tirely at fault. The play itself did not measure up to expectations.
 Every seat in the Montgomery Theatre was taken for the matinee performance yesterday afternoon. Persons went away and told their friends that Sag Harbor" was a failure. The result was plainly ap- parent last night. Saturday night is re- garded by theatrical managers as a .'Voo- doc night" in Southern cities. but if Sag Harbor" had made good" at yes- terday's matinee it would have been wit messed bv a larger and more sympa- ahetic audience last night.
 James A. Herne wrote Shore Acres" which brought him fame. Then he wrote Sag Harbor," which has been de- scfibed as "a poem of the seashore" :" There Is not dramatic situation in the play; there is not a real climax and in- tereet iA not even held hy clever lines.

Morrison and E. s. Clark. republican candidate for district attorney of this county. Mir Morrison spoke on the labor question as it is dealt with by both the republican and democratic territorial platforms. He made q comparison between the pledges of the present democratic plat form and the performances Of the lat est democratic legislature. The repub- hcan party on the other hand. Mir Morrison showed, had without preten- sion or demagoguery made the work ing man Q participant in the prosperity of the country. His condition, it was shown was better than shat or any other workingman on earth. Demo cratic efforts tc change his condition had always resulted in disaster to him. It had invariably reduced his wages or thrown him out of employment en- tirely, and made him an unwilling pat ron of free soup houses.
 The speeches of Messrs. Morrison and Clark were well received and will pro- duce a sood effect.
