The Newton County Enterprise refers to D. B. Nowels as a candidate for representative on the Populist-Prohibition-Demo-cratic ticket. Mr. Nowels’ name is not on the Prohibition ticket. That party did not make any nomination for representative at their convention. The Democrats are heartbroken because W. D. Owen, the Republican candidate for secre tary of State, will not be able to meet their candidate, W. R. Myers, in joint debate. Gentlemen, if you are really anxious for a joint discussion, Dr. Robinson, the People’s Party candidate for S&retary of State, will meet your Mr. Myers at any time and place.

Senator Jones, of Nevada, has written a letter to the people of his state announcing that he has left the Republican party and joined the Populists. People who are calling Populists cranks will do well to note this new accession to that party. Senator Jones is to-day recognized in this country and Europe as one of, if not the best informed man on the money question in the world. Our government in appointing a committee to meet w’ith the great, wise men of other nations at the Brussels monetary conference surely did not regard Senator Jones as a crank. People who are calling Populists cranks and anarchists will do well to first find out who are Populists.

Those Louisiana sugar planters who resolved themselves oui of the Democratic party into th. Republican party the other daysaid, “Now Congress holds a further menace over our heads in a threat to put sugar on the free list next session.’’ Will these planters better their condition by voting the Republican ticket? The Republicans of our state are in favor of free sugar they say. Really the most serious objection they have to the new Democratic tariff law is the protection it gives this article. Republicans tell us the McKinley law made sugar free and cheap. Can somebody tell these old tariff “tads” where they are.

The Democratic meeting, Saturday night, was very slimly attended, just as was the republican meeting the week before. The democrats had a wet night, and a poor unkown speaker, while the republicans had a fine night and a noted orator. Both meetings were failures. The democrats are making excuses, the republicans are saying nothing. The real facts in the case are, the people are tired of these old tariff harrangues, they want something new. For 30 years the voters of this country have been attending democratic and republican tariff lectures and if they do not, by this time, have a pretty good idea of the tariff question, one or the other of two things are surely true; we, the people, are either very dumb, or else these, democratic and republican speakers have not sense enough to teach.

Hear what the Indianapolis News, a Republican paper, says of the “three hundred influential planters:” “No one seems to care what becomes of the Louisiana sugar planters, who have left or are going to leave the Democrtic party, because that party would not consent to tax 70,C00,000 of people for the benefit of a few hundred people in Louisiana. Never was there so ridiculous a revolt. The Democratic party has bid the “three hundred influential planters” a joyous farewell, and it even seems to feel that their secession is a thing to be desired. On the other hand, though, the Republicans seem rather to welcome them as allies. There have not been wanting warnings against a too eager and enthusiastic reception of recruits who were so plainly “out for the Stuff.”

Last week we had the pleasure of meeting Mr. D. B. Nowels, candidate for Representative on the Populist-Prohibition-Demo-cratic ticket. While it is true that his political position is a little confused, yet Mr. Nowels is a perfect gentleman, and a little above the average Democratic politician.—Newton County Enterprise. We do not know that the Enterprise has shown any superior discernment in so readily recognizing Mi. Nowels as “a perfect gentleman,” for anybody who has the slightest appreciations of gentlemanly bearing and conduct, has but to merely see him to come to the same conclusion as the Enterprise. It is this natural aptness of men to observe and respect merit that has lead the different parties to select Mr. Nowels as their candidate.

The following is from lhe Indianapolis Sentinel’s Washington correspondent: “The recent bolt of Senator Jones, of Nevada, to the “Pops” has only made the Republicans more active in the coming campaign to capture the majority of the state congressional delegations. In the Jones bolt they see the loss of the silver states for the Republican electors in 1896—a loss that will go to the Populists and give that party the balance of power and throw the election of president into the house. They believe that neither the Republicans nor the Democrats will get a clear majority of the electoral college. In that event the house will elect the president and the senate the vice-president. The vice-presi-dent is elected by a majority of the senate, each senator having one vote. But when the house -iects the president members lose their individuality. Each state is entitled to one vote. At present there are 44 states, and 23 states would elect, but as congress has provided for the admission of Utah, New Mexico and Arizona, 47 states will participate in the next presidential election. Twenty-four will be a majority then. In voting by states for president, the representatives of each state decide how the vote of each state shall be cast.

Before the third party developed strength enough te carry states a majority of the state delegations in congress were never contended for, a majority of the house was all that was desired. But we remember how the Democrats of the far West cast their votes for Populist electors two years ago, not as an endorsement of Populism, but to throw the election in the house, where the Democrats had a majority of the states. This was done in case Mr. Cleveland could not carry the majority of the electoral college but the contingency did not arise.” “POPS” HOPE FOR THE SENATE. It looks very much now as if the senate from next March would be controlled by the Populists—through balance of power. The Republicans give up all hopes of gaining control of the senate. Before Jones left the party they expected to come near controlling it. With Jones the Populists now have four votes to the Republicans thirtyseven, the Democrats forty-four, with three vacancies. The Republicans will have to hold all they now have and gain seven more seats to control the senate. While it is possible for the Democrats to hold the senate, it is not possible for the Republicans to do so.
