Clayton Enthusiastic.

Lincoln. Neb., Aug. 11.-Enthusias- tic over the prospects of success in November, Representative Henry D. Clayton of Alabama, chairman of the committee on notification of w. J. Bryan, has arrived here. He was ac- companied on the journey from St. Louis by Dr. J. w. Mcclure of Sedalia, Mo-, member of the committee.
 You can say that have every con- fidence in the election of Bryan and Kern" said MT. Clayton '"The whole sentiment of the country is in that di- rection."
 On the way to Lincoln from his Ala bama home MT. Clayton took occasion to engage as many men in conversa- tion as he could as to their political views. "I found majority of them with whom 1 talked for Bryan" said he. "I met many travelling men, and one declared himself out and out for the Republican candidates" MT. Clay ton said that the 'rockribbed" Demo- crats were not much interested in the election because they intended to vote the Democratic ticket anyway, but he declared, the men who have not here tofore voted for Bryan, but who pro, pose to do so this year are the ones who are enthusiastic"
 Chairman Clayton criticised Judge Taft's speech of acceptance for having as he said, dodged the Chicago plat form. That speech is weak and in- ane," he declared, but it established one fact-that is, the Republicans have beat a retreat. and that they are on the defensive"

INTERURBAN PLANNED.
Proposed Line to Connect Gle.
 burne and Dallas.

Cleburne. Tex, Aug. 11.-Agents for Detroit capitalists have been in this city within the past few days looking over the ground with view of con- structing an interurban railway from this city to Dallas, by way of Mansfield and other small towns which such a route would come in touch with. The territory which the new road Is ex. pected to traverse is an unexplored one, and Is virgin field so far as railway connections are concerned. It will parallel no other railroad, and much of the country through which the proposed line will pass lies fairly re- mote from any railway.
 Those who are in position to know claim that such railway project is really being pushed, and that the line will not stop at Cleburne. but be a part of a belt which will encircle a vast and rich section of the state. swinging back to Dallas from the southwest.

tern Kansas, and the writer were
can ndidates in 1856, on the Re
publican ticket, and like all can
didateS were deSirouS of being e
lected. One day during the cam
paign we received an invitation to
go to one of these Russian towns
and speak to their people. This
appeared to be a special favor
extended to US, and was anindi-
cation that we stood in good
favor with these Democratic
Russians. The township was a
strong Democratic township
about one hundred and sixty-five
Democrats to twenty five Repub-
licans; and we realized that if we
could break in on this Democra
tic majority, it would make our
calling sure and our election GER
tain. We accepted with thanks.
The date was fixed and at the ap-
pointed hour the stone school
house in the little Russian town
was filed with Russians, half of
whom could not understand a
word of English. We both made
speeches, and they cheered US
manfully. They then invited US
to go with them where they said
they had d treat for US. When we
reached the place, an old barn,
they produced a keG of beer and
dozen tin cups and every fellow
helped himself. This keg of beer
with that crowd of Russians las
ted about ten minutes. They
then invited us to go to a feast
which they had prepared for US
at one side of the town. To this
we went. feeling that we were
certainly in the good graces OF
these people. When we arrived
we found the house and yard full
of people This feast was better
than the other, in that crackers
and cheese were added. After
irving to act like Russians for q
time, we excused ourselves. OF
attempted to bo so, that we
might make train for home; but
they informed US that, according
to Russian custom, we were
expected to foot the expenses OF
the entertainment, which
amounted to $22.5O We were
candidates and did not dare tt
say no, so we paid Election

The politicians of the western

coyotes united their forces in the
State Legislature and compelled
the statesmen from the eastern
take notice.
Prior to 1890, the people in the
short grass country knew no
fadS and had no WhimS; they
were busy developing the new
country. The trials and hard
ships incident to Subduing a
hitherto unconquered country
bound these people together by
ties which can only be under
stood by them. They experience
ed the effects of the hot winds so
prevalent on the plains at that
time; til ey saw their crops wither
in day; they beheld the latter
ed garments upon their children
and heard the coyote howl at
night; yet they clung to thathope
that was so firmly implanted in
their breasts and did not yield
or surrender to these trials and
tribulationS. Finally they sur
mounted them all. Today they
are rurrounded by plenty. The
comfortable farm house and
large barn have taken the place
of the dug-out and the sod house.
Their children are being educat-
| ed, and all in all those people are
the salt of the earth
/ 1t might be inferred from the
tone of this article that those
people never went wrong polite
ally. I do not wish to be 50
understood. In 1890 there ap-
peared in the state of Kansas
some men who organized the
farmers into a compact known
as the Farmers Alliance. It
was a secret organization, utiliz-
ing signs, grips and pass words
1t was said to have no politics in
it, but when the organization had
been completed it proved to be a
secret political institution With
out entering into details we will
add that it swept the state. Old
politicians were down and out
without knowing what had struck
them. It captured nearly all OF
the short grass country.
Statesmen without jobs" could
be seen on every hand. Some OF
them weakened and run with the
tide, just as some are now run
ming after the state wide prim-
ary. Others stood square on
principle and lived to be vindi

that the first to return from pop
ulism to the old party ranks were
the short grass" people.
