SPENCER'S PROTEST - Cwsrtlaued
and the only testimony that is competent is the
official count, and testimony of the voters as to
whom they voted for is not competent to defeat
the results as shown by the official count unless it
is first clearly shown that the board of election in
canvaaing the votes corruptly counted votes for
the incumbent, that should have been counted for
the contestant, this has not been done. There
was no evidence produced before the committee
nor ia there any on file showing that the board ol
canvasers either corruptly or through mistake
counted votes for the incumbent that should have
been counted for the contestant.
The only attempt to thange the result of the
election is by testimony of certain men that they
voted for the contestant and that testimony being
in the form of "exparta" affidavits is incompetent
and should have received no consideration at the
hands of the committee.
In voting on this contest I believe that 1 atn
acting as judge and not as partisan and will gov-
ern myself accordingly.
No .nan is entitled to a scat in this bod)' unless
he was fairly and honestly elected. If after a fair
and full investigation the merits of this contest
conducted in a legal way and by legal evidence it
was proven that Mr.Gandy was fairly and honestly
elected by a majority of the votes, I should cer-
tainly vote to give him the seat held by Mr.
Coulson but as I believe justice- has been outrag
ed in every step taken by the council in this con.
test in conducting the same, from the attempt to
exclude Mr. Coulson from introducing any evi-
dence, to accepting the illegal evidence submitted
by Mr. Gandy and still believing that Mr. (iandy
was not legally elected to the office, I therefore
record my vote as against his right to the same
I think the dominant party of this house has
taken a step that they can illy afford, as indicated
by the vote already taken, a step that will be sui-
cidal in the extreme to their interests. Hut it is a
step that the party of the people cannot afford
to endorse, as much as we regtet to lose one of our
members of this body.
It strikes me that the criticisms of the Repub-
lican party heretofore against Democratic modes
and methods of conducting elections in the south
is in bad taste while they are adopting the very
same tactics in this boasted land of a free vote and
a fair count.
It is not so much a question, after all, of locality
whether among the Democrats ol thesouth, or Re-
publicans of the no:th when a principle is involved
as to the purity of elections. We seem to have
arrived at the point where honesty and right cut
no figure in many instances in the north as well
in the south in conducting elections.
Every recurring election in the various states and
the nation proves more forcibly the declaration of
the Kansas Statesman that the "decalogue and
the golden rule has no place in American politics "
And I deprecate the fact, that force and power is
more and more, as time rolls on, becoming an im-
portant factor in the political machinery of this
nation. I have one consolation and hope for the
people of this nation in the fact that a wider dif-
fusion of knowledge and a more universal educa-
tion of the masses upon the all-important ques-
tions that concern us as a people is more prevalent
now than ever before in the history of the Ameri-
can people. Tallyrand, I bHfeve it was, said
there is "one person that is wiser than any other
person and that is every body," and I want to warn
you here and now that every body ss about to take
a hand in the readjustment of the affaires of this
nation and those that are entrenched behind their
gold and ermine of authority may well prepare to
stand from under The avalanche of indignation
that is sweeping over this country with an accel
rrated velocity will wipe any and every party out
of existence, as it should, that is not founded upan
the eternal principles of equal and exact justice to
all. The people ask nothing more and they will
accept nothing lw«.
This week we are paevented from giving as
much of the legislative report as we had desired,
but since the running of a hospital and newspaper
has both fallen to our duty, some duties, must get
slighted or wholly neglected.
No LESS than a half dozaen fine articles are on
our table; the burden of which bear on the recent
treachery of our money rulers. We wish we could

can do more with one dollar between campaigns,
towards educating the people than with eight or
ten during the campaign. If we remain inactive
it will require five times as much work and money
to get things in shape in 1896, than if we make an
aggressive fight from now until then
There ought to be at least, one Populist in each
county in the United States who can afford to
pledge and contribute one dollar per month, or
who can take it upon himself to collect one dollar
per month from the Populists in his county.
With this amount the committee can make an
aggressive campaign, and organize for the great
contest in 1896. This is a contest of the people,
for the people, and by the people, and every Pop-
ulist ought to do something towards advancing
the cause.
First: We ask that those who have been elect-
ed to state legislatures, and county and local offi-
cers to pledge and contribute one or more dollars
per month This is not asking too much, when
we consider that the purchasing power of the dol-
lar has increased fully thirty per cent since 1892,
and all salaries in the same proportion, and that
thousands of men and women have given
much time and money towards the upbuilding
of our party, without ever asking or expecting
anything in return than those who have been elec-
ted to high positions.
Second: Wc earnestly ask those who have our
cause at heart, and are able to pledge and contrib-
ute a definite sum to be paid on the first day of
each month to do so. We believe there are
enough men among the 2,000,000 Populists who
can afford to give without injury to themselves,
one, two, five, or more dollars per month, until
the meeting of the next National Convention, to
enable the committee to make an aggressive cam-
paign.
Third. We kindly ask and request that every
Populist in the United States, resolve himself into
a committee of one, call upon every Populist in
his locality for five and ten cent contributions, and
forward same to the national treasurer.
We believe that every Populist can and ought to
contribute five cents and upwards, to restore this
government to the people. If the Populists of the
United States will assist us with funds the commit-
tee will re-open headquarters, organize and edu-
cate to make a winning fight in 1896, but before
we can do any thing we must be assured that we
can secure enough funds so that we will not be
compelled to close in the middle as our work.

THE Populist, of Stillwater is official organ of
Payne cduntv; the Publicist, of Chandler, official
for Lincoln county and the Voice of Norman for
Cleveland county. In all instances the official
order carries the job printing as well as legal work.
This is right and tends to condense bills and les-
sens high charges
Again last week wheat touched rock bottom
in price and went the lowest in eighty years. We
thought we were to have prosperity now, but fear-
ing that we may have while Cleveland is in the
throne, the western Republicans are voting
against having the gold basis bond issues stopped.
Pitier, for God's sake go to Washington and open

I"
lierchv give tire same.
I started out by feeding soaked
wheat, but soon discovered tliat this
mvthod was wrung from nn economic-
al standpoint; for (lie hogs did not di-
gest the wheat and hence showed no
gain. I then tried feeding wheat drv
and whole, this was an improvement
on soaked wheat and tlie hog« allowed
considerable gfiin. I then took the
wheat to the mill, had It ground and
fed It dry. By this method the hog«
gained rapidly and 1 never saw
nnnrh of hog gain so in flesh. I a
thoroughly convinced that the moat
profitable way to feed wheat is to have
It cracked and feed dry. I used to
feed over a tliounlnd hog« every >ear
iu Kansaa on corn, but f am now t hor-
ouglily convinced that cracked wheat
fed drv excela corn In fattening hors.
am alto austained in this by the
recent experiments made bv the Agri-
cultural College at Manhattan,Kanaaa
These hoga were thirteen month*
old and averaged 383 pounds 1 also
fattsned and aold four sows that aver-
aged 501 pounds I am convinced my
hogs made an average gain of nearly
three pounds per day. Who can beat
this?
Before 1 conclude, I wish to call the
attention of your readers to the aow-
ing of alfalfa. This la the great grass
for a dry country. A bushel will eed
three acres and can be bought for $1.10
per bushel. It does not need any more
attention than sowing oats.Theground
ought to be plowed In the aprlng and
haraowed until In a good mellow con-
dition; then sow and "brush" in
raised alfalfa in Kanaaa and rut from
two to three erops every year, besides

For a hog pasture alfalfa la Invalu-
