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 velt J S Waid, Jr. ■ BAGGETT ACQUITTED WAS JURY'S VERDICT Mr. Gedie Baggett, accused of man-' slaughter Is now a free nutu, the jury in this We having brought in a verdict of acquittal.
