WOODWARD DISPATCH.
Hon. R. A. Ned.
The Hon. R. A. NdT, the Demo-
cratic-Populist nominee for delegate
to congress, arrived in Woodward on
the four o'clock train Monday eve-
ning. Mr. Neff spoke in the new K.
of I’, hall which was crowded to the
doors. Many were surprised, and all
were well pleased with Mr. Neff. He
held his audience almost s|tellb<>und
for about two hours. Mr. Neff is n->t
a boaster, but simply states facts
which is sufficient to cut the wing
feathers of any patriotic American
who votes the republican ticket. Mr.
Neff went into the details of the Na-
tional affairs and did them justice,
showing what great danger our
country is in, under republican ad-
ministration.
The judge said he endorsed the
North Carolina rule of voting the
Negroes, as it simply required them
to be able to read and write the En-
glish language before they were al-
lowed to vote. And in Oregon, which
is a republican state, a Negro is not
allowed in the state, and any one
caught or guilty of retaining a Ne-
gro on their premises or giving a Ne-
gro food or rament, had committed a
crime. Yet the republicans make a
terrible howl about the way the Ne-
gro is treated in North Carolia.

porations to civil death for violating

that it would criminate the college

contributing monopolists.
The trusts have utterly failed in
defeating the Sherman anti-trust act;
they were completely routed by the
judiciary i? the final test in the su-
preme court, and they have now be-
gun the dangerous policy of paraly-
zing the executive arm by means that
are so palpable that he who runs may
read, and none but the most skepiti-
cal can fail to be convinced.”
In concluding Mr. Monett said:
“I believe that William McKinley
and John W. Griggs, his attorney
general, and his executive officers
have wilfully, purposely and knowing-
ly paralyzed the executive arm of this
government for the last four years
and prevented the enforcement of the
common law and statute law, both
criminally and civilly, against these
law violators. William J. Bryan may
not accomplish all that we expect or
all that we hope for in this behalf,
but I believe him to be thoroughly
honest, sincere and a determined man,
and while I do not agree with him in
all that he advocates, yet I am forced
to take one side or the other on this
great question. For the sake of our
republic and to prevent the threaten-
ed danger that Senator John Sher-
man and the other Nestors in the
councils of our government have so
graphically prophesied I propose to
cast my vote for that fearless, up-
right champion of the people, Wil-
liam J. Bryan.”—K. C. Star.
We clip the above to show to our
many readers that Mr. Monett as well
as thousands of other republicans
have became concientious in this mat-
ter. They know the republicans are
in the wrog, hence they turn their
back upon them.
