A Letter From Kentucky.

The following letter from a Jasper county boy now living in Kentucky is taken by permission' from a private letter as it contains much that is good logic. “I would like to come back in time to take part in the campaign. I think it will be a hot fight and it stands all reformers in hand to do their best and work earnestly for the cause, as it interests all who want good government and equal rights to all men and special favors to none. I think it would be a good thing to organize silver clubs in every school district throughout the country. Begin early in the season, get the people awake to the condition* of affairs. Get them out of the old time custom of allowing old party politicians to do their thinking for them. Circulate good papers among the people. Let everyman make himself a committee of one to see that his neighbor gets the proper literature, and above all, attend all primaries and all meetings of every kind where our interests are at stake. Do not stay at home and think that your neighbor who is going will do as well. Go yourself and see that it is well done. Work in harmony with one another. Meet often and discuss the vital questions and explain to those that can not understand the meaning of our demands. Nominate good men,, and on election day go to the polls and put her in straight, and the g. o. p.'s that thought us a relic of the past, will think there has been a general resurrection and that their career of fraud, corruption, bribery and fat offices is about over. I have talked to a great many populists both in Kentucky and Tennessee and they are Icoking forward in anticipation of a great change in the completion of their state politics next fall. ? In some of the districts they have already made a good stand by electing county officers, which has encouraged them to hunt for larger game, and you bet they have their guns loaded with free silver bullets, and they will shoot them into the ballot box next fall.” A daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs. Henry Linzbach of Barkley Jan. 25th. A letter fromdeputy state superintendent Cotton announces that he will be unable to come to Rensselaer on Saturday but that State Superintendent D. M. Geeting will come instead and talk to the teachers.
