TWO MORE WEEKS
Editor Tiuies-KntorpKse:
As you have .shown n willing
have more than one »-id« discussed iif;
yoor paper and as the campaign draws
to a close I wish to use yoor columns to
make tins l:ist appeal to die Populists
and all others favoringJeft'ersouian
Republicanism, and Jacksonian Demo
cracy to.turn out on the 8*h of Nov.
and use the' ballot, the weapon of de
fense of our free institutions that wn§
parehiwo 1 by the blood of tho fathers.
One of the worst ^ ns < f our political
decay is the apathy of tho people ou alt
politicul issues Think of a county with
over 80, 00 inhabitants polling a little
\ over oOQ votes wheu several important
ameiiduieLts were up. You may speak
toamauabont exercising his righto!
suffrage and many will tell you, “1
have hever made any money by Voting
yet onr fathers did not dee from the
tyranny of the Cxur, the priest aud the
king and spill their blood from Boston
to Y oik tow 11 togiVe ua tho ballot fo/fi
money making machine If n onay is to
be tlio only (tod of this generation dork
will be the pathway of the ones here
after. The present campaign it 1s al
leged is the most apathetic in lilatory.
How could it lie otherwise when the
two old imrties have "practically the
same platform?
The Hon. Henry O. Davis in his first
visit to N. Y.. afier tho uotyiimUuu de
clared that the two platforms were
almost identical, llow can enihusiacm
be expected? There is no issue of mo~
incut? Tom WnteoU’s candidacy is cjm
exception in fTils campaign.; Nominated
over his protein
only wpic© i’Ttho o infpatgu. He is the
one consistent politici in m the state timi
lias piped pat upon cIih- ishutfl he now
advocates train the beginning. The big
politicians that I uvo alleged thut lie was
hirod to*rail by Republicans know ihut
the allegation is jiut true
l am q«6t.- sure that some of t4io|ittlo
would be litliors i t the goods box cut
ting tnbe actually believe the story,
whore • he narrow confines of the era-*
uium is so small that bloud and water
. excludes all hojioor an origiu il,idca.
Nothing less could be expected. Years
ago wlieu Tom Watson was buried lie-
ueath an avalanche < f fraudulent \ otes
gloomy iuu»: have beon the prospect of
leftersou when John Quincy Adams,
'with libs ptaonitgo, congress, 10 news
papers for Adams to 1 ngninsr, yet. lie
ma le the crusade and the second battle
won. Theqce tioa is, be sure you are
righlaud then go ahead. Iu conclusion
let me urge every Populist to lay aside
Ids business aud hear Watson ou the
first d-y of Nov. for if he does I trust
Ids . lethargy will be dispelled and
Thomas county will n%t go for Kooae
