ing the sphere to which God had called him was as honorable as the King on his throne; that God had called his opponent to the high office of preaching the ev- erlasting gospel of peace and that call was more sacred and binding than the call of that 424 :, said that his opponent had never performed on honest days work on the road because he was working for the public; that if he should be elected he would work for the public in that office and still could not be depended upon to perform an honest days work; made an eloquent plea for honesty in politics; showed how the whole country was crying out for reform; showed how par ties were giving way and party letters sundered; referred to Je- rome of New York, Weaver of Philadelphia, Tom Johnson of Cleveland, Ohio, Folk of Mis- souri and Rhoten of Arkansas; showed that they were the pro- duct of political independence.
 MT. Callicott won great laurels and carried the crowd as was demonstrated by rounds of ap- plause coming from all parties and thoroughly punctuating his eloquent and logical appeals.
 Hon. E. Delaughter was next called and spoke for half an hour in a pleasant mood; told many funny stories and made every one feel welcome.
 One of the features of the opening of the campaign was the absence of nearly all of the Democratic candidates. It was observed that Bro. Whaley was put out in the open to try to give the the ticket a show of respect ability and honesty, while Mat Denman, Nat Martin and others were Still Hunting."
 Tie boys can not fool anybody. No one will believe for one mo- ment that they believe they can see more people by still hunting than they can see by meeting the crowds that daily come out to hear these candidates. The ques. tion is Where are they and what are they doing?"

An Announcshsnt.

To the Voters of Nevada County
 greatly regret not being per- mitted to see you all, renew old acouaintances and meet those that have come into the county since I was over it last, but, or account of having strained my back together now with a case of fever, I will be deprived of that pleasure.
 So 1 want to say to you all don't think because 1 can't see you 1 don't want or appreciate your support. 1 will always gratefully remember your very liberal support of the past, and, hope you will again see fit to honor me with you generous SUD- port. So thanking you for past support and assuring you if you elect me to the important office of county judge, I will discharge the duties of the office to the best of my obility.
 I remain yours obediently.

Garland Starnes is making a fine impression. Certainly the Populists made no mistake when they nominated this intelligent young man for county clerk. He has been tied down to his school which he has felt honor bound to teach because he has promised to do so, and therefore he has not had the opportunity to meet as many people as he would like to meet.

Acute attacksNf collie and diarreoea comes on without warning and prompt relief must be obtained. There is 10 necessity of mourning the expense of physicians service in such cases if Chamberlain's Collie, Cholere and Dia- rrhoea Remedy is at hand.

They tell us that if you went in the primary you are honor bound to support the nominees of the primary. Who tells us that? Nobody except those who do not believe they can be elected on their own personal merits. They want some kind of coercion. They are not willing to stand the con- parison. No high--toned citizen ought to ask for a vote on any other ground than his ability, honesty and integrity.

 the first time in his life he ap-
 peared before the people as a

 county competent; said he

 Rev. MT. Whaley, Democratic

 then introduced. He said that
 he had been requested time and
 again to run for representative
 and had positively refused to

 that he waited for a long time
 and finally entered the race; is a
 farmer and local preacher; thinks the Populists ought to have run

 not a good man like MT.

Waddle went over the county last spring and told that he wanted to force a stock law on the people and that it was not true; said that all that he had ever heard against Calli- colt was that when Sam Jones was asked to pray for the Tenn essee legislature while Callicott was a member, he refused; thanked the editor of the Picay- une for it's complimentary notice of him, but while he refused to vote for Jeff Davis he did not vote against him.
 T. P. Callicott was next intro duced.

A GALA DAY FOR pOpULIsTs.
Democratic Candidates Send WhaIey to Make Appearance
 Decency.

Last Monday the campaign of Nevada county was opened at Boughton, with the most faVora- ble prospect for the Populist can- didateS.
 One hundred and twenty-eight voters assembled to hear the speaking, and spent a pleasant day
 l The only democratic candidates who putin their appearance were Brother Whaley, candidate for representative and Ed Hood, candidate for sheriff. The Pop ulist candidates were all present except Mr. W. M. Mum candi- date for county judge, who is TOW at his home sick with fever.
 As has always been customary in this county the speaking be- gan with the candidates for the lowest office, and followed with those who were asking for higher positions.
 T. D. Buc hanan, candidate for county surveyor, was the first speaker. It was his old home, he said, and every one knew him and knew of his qualification. He said that ten years ago he was a candidate for this office and he and his opponent tied and tls sppontat 2s appointed U the governor to the office.
 c. M. Buchanan, Populist can dldate for treasurer, next ad- dressed the people. He spoke in the highest terms of his oppo- nent, Mir. Watson, but believed he had held the office long enough and believed he could make as good an officer as his op- ponent. He said that he did not want the office unless he could get it by honorable means, and dld not want any unfairness on his side.
 John w. Mason, Populist can dldate for circuit clerk, was next introduced. He said that he had been teaching school in this coun-
 Tor many years; that he had leVer shown any partiality in he school room and if elected Jerk he would not show any par lahty in that office. Said he vas a native of this county and PeheVed he was qualified to fill he office.

To Good Sized Crowd at Opera House.
MAKE BUSINESS MANS PLEA
For Good Roads, Good Schools. Honest Politics Good
 Government.

A good sized and representa- tive audience greeted MT. Rem- |mel at<the Opera house last We'd nesdav evening.
 l<He was introduced by A. D. M. Beaufort, in few well chosen words.
 Mir. Remmel began his speech by telling the people that he was not candidate for any office, but had come to have a friendly talk with them as a business man and on business principles He complimented MT. McRae and said that he knew him and Me- Kinley to be good friends, that he himself would sometimes have business in Washington, and he had, often called on MT. Me- Rae, he had always found him ready and willing to assist him.
 He spoke on the importance of having good roads and showing that it costs the farmers about 35 cents per ton per mile to do their hauling on the common dirt roads, while it costs the rail- roads about six tenths of one cent per ton per mile on account of the the better roads the rail- ways have. He said that Roose- welt, Bryan aild Watson. all favor good roads. He favored state aid, county aid and district aid; let the state pay fifty per cent of a certain road, the county thirty-fve per cent and the dis trict fifteen per cent; then let the Federal Government pay an equal sum. He said that by means of the improved roads New Jersey has reduced the cost of hauling freight on her dirt roads to six cents per ton per mile.
 He favored Amendment No. s, for the purpose of increasing our school fund. He says that the census shows that 24 per cent of the white population of the U. s. is in the south, and that 64 per cent of the illiteracy among whites, (that is, persons over ten years of age who cannot read | or write), are in the south. This l is not fair to our people. It does not give us a fair chance and i equal opportunity with the rest ! of the nation. He says that Ark ansas pays $6. 95 for each child; | Kansas pays three times as much | and New York pays ten times as much and Illinois pays five times as much.
 He spoke on the importance of political parties chastizing im- moral candidates some times. He said that P nnsylvania boiled a Republican majority of five hundred and fifty thousand; yet when corrupt man offered on the Republican ticket for treas urer, the Democrat was elected by forty thousand majority. Do you suppose that hurt the Republican party?' said he. Why no, it came out all the better and stronger by chastiz- ing and purifying itself.
 He spoke of the state convicts and showed that they are now costing the state $400 per day. He spoke of the present election law; it's unfairness and declared that the time would come when the people of Arkansas, would get honest elections and honest laws. Ii

 While both of Alaska's delegates to congress, MT. Waskey and Mir.

 T. O. Isley, well-known miner from Little Minook, was on a prospecting trip. Last Monday on California creek he ran a-foul of she bear and cub, and for little while it looked like there would be fight to finish, with nothing but his bare hands for the man to defend himself with. In going through the brush MT. Isley saw the cub climbing tree and the mother ambliug off in the direction of an open space at the foot of hill. He watched her pass through the opening and enter the brush beyond, and thought she had gone on up the hill The man stepped out into the open space and the bear at once emerged from the brush and started toward him. MT. Isley tried to climb birch tree, but it was Iimbless and slick, and he could't make it. Then he reached spruce sapling that stood near, but the bear got there at the same time and bit him in the leg. Expecting the bear to strike with the paw, he grasped the sapling with one hand and prepared to strike with the other, at the same time yelling as loud as he could. But the bear abandoned the attack. She went back to the place where the cub had climbed the tree and the little fellow skinned down and joined her. Mir. Isley saw no more of them. He was unarmed, and if the bear had pressed the fight her victory would have been certain. The bite in his leg was not severe. The skin was broken and there was little blood, and rents in the oyeralls, as would have been made by the bite of dog.-Yukon Valley News.
