When McUinley discovered him
ho summoned Dr. J. H. Hudson,

CHILD. KILLED.
The difsatii-faction in populist
ranks pees merrily on. The pop-
ulist leaders have been running
things to suit themselves for so long
until they have beciune ulinoxioiis
to l1ie tru ■ populist.
W. K. Claiil'in, who lives eleven
miles north east of town was in
town Thursday afternoon and in
conversation with a Di-moi uat rep-
resentative expressed himself very
forcibly regarding the populist lead-
ers of this county. Mr. Clanton said:
"There are a lew pupulist leaders
iu this county who have wrecked
the populist parly. I have been a
populist for many \ears. I have
always taken :i deep uilcrest iu Ihe
success of the populist party. On
election days 1 have always gone
to the pulls early and stayed late,
working for 'he populist ticket, but
1 want to tell you, when November
Htli comes, I am going to cast my
first Uennicr.ilie vole. I expect to
vote the Democratic ticket from top
to bottom
The Democratic party is advoca-
ting the cause of free silver, an in-
come tax and many other important
issues that ave advocated by I lie
populist party, and since the popu-
list leaders are so anxious to get in-
to the Republican parly, I have dc-
ided to let tlieni go their way and
I will g11 mine; These loaders were
very anxious to fuse with the Re-
publicans in the county campaign.
Now whoever heard of anything to
etpial tint? Imagine, if you can,
bow a populist who favors free
ninage of silver and is opposed to
the National Hanks issuing our
currency, can vote for a parly who
favor the gold Man lard and national
hank issues. These pop leaders who
are trying to sell the populist party
out care nothing for populist princi-
pics.
"Several of my neighbors asked
me to make the race for commis-
sioner on the populist ticket. I
never asked for an oflice iu luy life
but finally concluded lo have my
name pre-anled The gang fought
me because I did not own any 'and.
1 dill uol know before that a man
had to own land in this country
before he could hold oilier. I did
not know before thai because a man
was poor, lie could not ho trusted
with public affairs. I did not know
before that the populist party was
instituted lor the bet elit of an aiis*
toeraey. The | class of popu*
lisls must, aeoording lo the inter-
pretation of Ihe leaders, ho hewers
of wood and di'.iwei-s ot w ater lor
the aristocratic mi iniicrs ol the pop-
ulist party."
