STAMPEDE TO POPULISM.

By Silver Republicans of Washington and the Northwest Ex-Governor Waite for Bryan—Many Congressional Nominations—Coxey on the Situation. Watterson a Bolter. People’s Party News Bureau—Headquarters National Executive Committee St. Louis, Missouri.

It can safely be asserted that the result of the democratic national convention is a surprise to the country. The leaven that the populists have injected into thq democracy seems to have leavened the greater portion of the lump and the party has revolutionized itself completely. The platform and the nominee are almost populistic enough to suit the most extreme “middle of the road” advocates. The conversion of the democratic "party at this time is as truly miraculous as the conversion of Paul and it is very much in evidence that providence and the populists should be given the praise. Henry Watterson editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal, wires from his summer retreat in Switzerland that the gold democrats must hold another national convention and repudiate Bryan and the silver democracy. Suprising as it may seem to many, Ex-Governor Waite of Colorado, came out last week, in the Denver Road, in favor of the nomination of W. J. Bryan by the peoples party national convention and a union of the reform forces on one set of electors, as the only means of rescuing the country from the ruinous rule of the money power. . There is a perfect stampede of the free silver republicans to the peoples party in Washington and the populists clubs have received more accessions during the two last weeks than for two years previous. The free silver sentiment is growing very rapidly in New York, Pennsylvania and other eastern states, and it is not improbable that the so-called “craze” will sweep every state in the union. The populists of California are swelling their ranks daily with deserters from both the old party ranks. The prospects for a victory in that state is very flattering Notwithstanding the action of the democratic national convention, the populists of Mississippi and the entire south are maintaining a bold front and declare they will not return to either of their old parties. J. H. Randall, of “Commonweal” fame, is •ampaigning in Illinois and doing valient service for the cause of humanity. JohnO. Jokel, of Petersburg has been nominated for Congress by the populists of the 2nd Michigan district and will make a* hot fight. C.T. Greer, register of deeds at Enid, Oklahoma, publicly renounces his allegiance to the republican party and gives incontrovertible reasons for joining the peoples party. The populists of the third Mis souri district have nominated Hardin Steele as their candidate for Congress. He is a strong campaigner and has a fighting show for election. West Virginia populists are preparing for a rousing state convention at Parkersburg,' on August sth. Missouri populists are inaugurating excursions, both by wagon and rail, to their state convention. to be held at Sedalia, July 30th. Gen. Coxey, who has been campaigning in the west and witnessed the rise of the free silver tide, announces in his newspaper, “Sound Money,” that the tide is irresistible and while op posed to combinations that will weaken the peoples party, yet recognizing that free coinage is

a step in the right direction, he desires to see all the opponents of the gold standard get together if they can do so on satisfactory terms to the populists. Texas populists have established a Literary and Lecture Bureau at Ft. Worth, with L Calhoun as manager. • J. M. Smith, of San Patricio county, Texas, has been nominated for congress by the populists of the eleventh district. The nomination of S. M. Owens for congress, by the populists of the fifth Minnesota district, meets with the most general approval all over that state. Hon. J. C. Sibley of Pennsylvania, the much talked of Presidential candidate, is being petitioned by the populists, democrats and independent voters of his district, to accept a congress ional nomination. The state nominating convention of the people’s party of Georgia, has been called to meet at Atlanta, on August 6. The state convention of the people’s party of Tennessee will convene at Nashville, July 28. The free silver republicans in several lowa counties have called conventions and will nominate candidates of their own, thus bolting the regular nominees. Gold-bugism is below par in the Hawk eye state. J. Hugh McDowell of Tenues see, Sergeant-at-Arms of the populist national , convention, and one of the strongest men in the party in the United States, was recently nominated for Congress in his district. He has an excellent prospect of election and when elected will be heard from. The latest notable convert to populism is Senator Pettigrew, of South Dakota, who bolted the republican national convention with Teller. He made a formal announcement of his conversion before the populist state convention at Huron, J uly 14, and was warmly welcomed. Many of the goldbug democrats are advocating the nomination of Henry Watterson, late editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal for president in opposition to Bryan on the theory that he can carry several southern states.

So Mr. Gilman Brown, of 34 Mill St., South Gardner, Mass., was told by the doctors. His son had Lung trouble, following Typhoid Malaria, and he spent three hundred and seventy-five dollars with doctors, who finally gave him up saying: “Your boy won’t live a month.” He tried Dr. King’s New Discovery and a few bottles restored him to health and enabled him to go to work a perfectly well man.

Three-fourths of the people of America consider the greenback good money. The American people must learn to be just If they would remain to be free. The only way to have cheap transportation is through government ownership. Man must either earn his own breed or somebody else is compelled to earn It for him. The millionaires will never confess that the system by Which they were made rich is wrong. 1 The platforms of both old parties are made by “international agreement" of the money power.

Remington Notes.

Mr. Geo. Fisher of Goodland, spent several days in Remington last week on business and visiting his parents. Marcus Hemphill of Rensselaer, ex- treasurer of Jasper county, Ind., visited Remington on business last week. The premium lists of the twen-ty-second annual fair of the Remington Fair Associaton, are now being distributed. . Capt. H. T. Griggs and C. A. Perkins, of Goodland, were in Remington last week. Mr. Perkins looking after the prospects of making a bid on our proposed water works system. We understand that at the dedication of the new Christian church at Wolcott, two weeks ago, by Rev. M. M. Carpenter, a sufficient amount of money was raised to pay off the entire debt. Misses Renette Tabor, Orpha Timmons, and Mattie B. Yeoman have new wheels and are devoting much of their time in the exhilarating exercise of breaking them in and learning the art of riding. Rev. Harris Mount of Oxford, exchanged pulpits with the Rev. H. V. McKee of the Presbyterian church of this place last Sunday, Rev. Mount is a son of the republican candidate for governor ot Indiana. Hon. Joseph B. Cheadle, excongressman from the 9th Indiana Congressional District and a former republican, has announced himself a candidate for congress this year as a champion of free silver, against Mr. Landis. He will be supported by the democrats of the district and he will be elected. Frank Eck of Jordan was arrested last week on the charge of drawing a dangerous and deadly weapon on a couple of women north of town- The women were clear in their testimony against the defendant but Frank said it was only a “tobacco box” that he drew. The court took his word for it and acquitted him much to the disgust of those who were present and heard the trial.

Hon. Stump Ashby delivered a political address to a large assemblage of people at Durand Hall in this town last Thursday evening. We hear various opinions expressed in regard to it. Our people believe that the only question vital to the interests of the people during this campaign is the silver issue; Mr. Ashby did not discuss this question fully nor to a logical conclusion, hence many silver men were disappointed in his partial failure or neglect to give the subject the attention it deserved and the audience anticipated'. Bids were opened last Saturday for the construction of our water works system. There were five proposals submitted for the building of all complete except the well which the town will supply. The bids ranged from $9887 to $12,500 and the contract was awarded to the Challenge Wind Mill and Peed Mill, Co. of Batayie, Illinois, foir the seven first above named the Board considering that the est and best responsible bid. Work will probably he commenced on the system in about thirty days, apd will be rapidly pushed until the works are completed. • Jim* .'■=>• The series of meetings now being held at Fountain Park pnder the au&pices of the Christian church people of this place are being well attended and was greatly est joyed by those so fortunate as to be in attendance, f he®4 are many distinguished ministers from abroad in attendants jthe more notable among theqt beinglthe Schofield, and also Rev.

the forenoon and one at night. The rain Sunday had the effect to cause the abandonment of the exercises at the Park, but services were held in the church in town at half past ten in the forenoon, and 2:30 and 8 o'clock p. m. at the evening service the church was crowded to its fullest capacity, and the audience was highly edified by the sermon of Bro. Tyler. This vicinity was visited with an exceedingly heavy rain last Sunday, the rain commencing to fall about 4 o’clock in the morning and continuing to steadily fall until noon or about eight hours; much of the time it rained very hard, again in the evening and during the night considerable rain fell. This will surely make the corn crop which nad before promised well, the excession. Rain may injure the oats still out in the field, to some extent, but it is hoped that nothing serious will result therefrom. Fall pastures are also greatly benefited by the rains.
