England, in Lincoln, on the evening of September 20, the' Laymen'3 club was entertained by the amiable judge and his wife. It was made the occa sion of the reading of Mr. Thomas -H. Tibbies' letter of acceptance of the nomtnation for the vice-presidency on the people's party ticket. The attend ance was of the most elect of Lincoln's literary and professional men. Mr. Tibbies read his letter In a modulated tone of voice and with becoming giace, alter which the letter was discussed by all present. Though the political com plexion of those present was about as usual. in such gatherings, chielly ad verse to the- ideas expressed by Mr. Tibbies, the. letter, neveitneless, elicited only the highest words ot com mendation from all. .In this letter Mr. Tibbies will dis appoint some and highly please jtners of Ms thousands of readers. It will dis appoint chiefly the young and ardent reformer, because of the mild and "gen tle tone in which he treats great ques tions. The ardent youth will antici pate from Mr. Tibbies a letter that will fire iue sluggish and indolent thinker to rebellion against present .injustices. In this he will be disappointed. Tim -mnre mature mind will be great ly nleased with this letter because oi its ideal tone. It presents great ques tions that are commonly caueu raui cal in a graceful, dignified and manly way. It is on the surface a "cry con servative paper. However, beneath. the surface it will impress all students of the affairs of our day . as a powerful protest against present wrongs, but in a manner that indicates tnat ucnina the eentle accents and well-rounded sentences, there- is a reserve power that could, if need be, hurl thunder bolts into the camDS of those whose ex ploiting of mankind has brought ruin and misery upon the worm. Ana yet it ls no attack upon these as individ uals, but only as they represent and defend a pernicious economic system, i Were Mr. Tibbies the -nominee of a political party whose votes mounted in to the millions, and he should write Kiirh a letter as this, it would oe tele- erauhed over and read throughout the world, or wherever a thought of human liberty had found lodgment in tne mind, and would be .cherished as a paper to be preserved m history.; Its quality will be an eye-opener especially to those - in eastern states, , wao have thought . ' of populism as lunacy, and nomilists as wild-eyed fanatics. To those who rejoice In present injustice and recommend the rstana-pat" poney, it 'will be a threat and a warning. To those who hope for justice and' better things it will prove an inspiration.) , 1 , ' ASSOCIATE EDITOR Q. ' i 1 . - , . Ssf' S -, . , ' A (HAM FIGHT , ;. i AU the; papers are full of talk about the. aoathy in this campaign. The xea son is because as . between the two old parties it is a sham, fight. There were some military .maneuvers, on , the ; old Bull Run battlefield; the , other day. There were very large bodies of; troops there, but no one got excited over, it and no one grew enthusiastic. It was a sham fight. When the real battle took place the whole world was inter ested and every man watched anxiously for the latest scrap of information con cerning it. There,, was no "sham" about old Bull Run fight. It was the real thing. . The campaign that was carried on during the last two presidential con tests betweer tve populists and demo crats on one side, and Wall street on the other, excited the interest of every body. It was a real fight. Now the 'blues' and the "browns" of Wall street have gone out into the held and divided themselves up into two camps. They have put up a sham light and of course there is no interest Ja it The sneakers have no life In" them The, literature spread broadcast over thc laud, Including Roosevelt's re cent letter f acceptance, nobody renus. 11 is an a Kitam. inc non sense about a standing army that only numbers auout one noldier to a thou sand people can not chase away ranch npalhy.

Buster boasting, if they would, in fact, do anvthing to call attention to the continual increasing power of the mon ey, kings, there would be no Jack of interest in the campaign. But it is a sham nght. Everyone knows it 2nd the conseauence is that novone takes any more Interest in it than they would in any other sham fight. There is3 plenty of enthusiasm among the. populists. They are fighting in earnest, and all men know it. Every speech made by Tom Watson haa bun; dreds of thousands of readers, it tne monev could be obtained to print them, millions' ' would read them. Every member of the gray-haired Old Guard is out on' the firing line, and as they see the" hundreds of thousands of aew recruits coming to them from "the eas$ and the south the old gleam of battle is in their eyes. With trembling hands they "hold aloft the old banner, and stagger, forward as they hear the clar ion voice1 of-Tom Watson coming from still farther in the fronts crying, "F61- low'me." . ' There is no sham fighting ana no apathy in ( the populist ranks. : . ;'.' '. BOX. J. 8. CAN A DAT Among the populist nominees on the state ticket is Hon. J. S. Canaday. If the whole state had been searched over a better man for state auditor could not be found. Aside, from governor, that office is by far the most important one in the state. In these days of public extravagance it is more important than ever. Mr. Canaday. has shown his abil ity while state senator and In evsry other position to which the people have elected him. Wnile he is a farmer, at tending to the multiplicity of duties that continuously, press upon a farmer, he has always taken an interest in public affairs. At present he is presi dent of the Farmers' . Co-operative Grain and Live . Stock association, elected to that portion because of the confidence Jn hira as a man of busi ness and one to be thoroughly trusted in any position of responsibility. While state senator he proved to be not only honest, but a hard worker. looking constantly after all intcrexU of the people of the state. No corporation has any string on Mr. Canada. If the farmers of the state knew whit their own best interests were, they would, without dUthutlon of patty, cut a unanlmoiM vot fr him.
