Tme People's Party is eome "hacks" in the South. A strip of corn shack in the button hole is the new badge at the political revival meetings there. ' ' ' :- Irthe cholera expects to create any fear down in Texas, it has made a grand mistake. The Peo . ple'a Party occupies the entire .at tention of the Democrats, and they have no time for trifles. . 1 The Democratic National Com mittee says in the X. Y. World that it had every reason to expect the Jame encouragement in Georgia that it has received in Arkansas ; and Alabama. I The committee ought to know what it expects. - Its campaign fund, contributed by ltf corporation repre sentatives, is large enough to warrant the realiza tion of its expectations. ' , . What has Cleveland been doing aince he was discharged as presi dent of the United States? Em ployed by a firm of corporation at ' torneys at a salary of $50,000 a year. ' Its members - are interested in various syndicates,; and this is " where Whitney comes in. The ex ' penses incurred in nominating ' Cleveland at Chicago are nominal ' compared with the ; benefits they will derive if he is elected. ; V t'JJo ' FroEiNG on the electoral college 'asj-f f -1.a favoite theme for the old party papers. Each one requires about two columns of space to prove that ' the other fellow isn't in it, while ,;' possibly their favorite is winner. In the meantime the People's Party - will take at least 100 out of the 444, and if either of the other parties get 223 out of the 344 that is left, it will be because Alabama and Ar- - . kansas methods are adopted. U. S. Senator Mills has been campaigning in Texas a few weeks and the nights he has seen and the sounds he has heard has aged him beyond the point of recuperationT He now declines to be a candidate for senator in the legisln tore which : Texas will elect this . fall. He knows what the complexion of that legislature will be. What better evidence can we have that there is great political revolution in the Booth? : A correspondent asks,- "Where are they at, in Alabama on elec tion figures by the la?t return?" The latest we have Been was the "true results" published in the Hearld of Montgomery in that state. It there appeared that Kolb carried 57 out of 66 counties, with majori ties ranging from 46 to 3000, or a total of 51,012. In the other nine counties, Jones figures out- a - totai that gives . him -a ' majority, and claims the state went Democratic. THE'PTOpk's'Ta.ry, is the, Miily partyl,wlnchappibiis ?th'e. rigUts of the-' 'pte.l'liTis'pledgecr to their mterc arid js'Ui 'oppb;si$n to corpora te'iijonopoly in every . form. Its platform has no uncertain sound and has the same meaning in every part of the union. Its candidates are men of lrinh character, fully qualified to conduct an adminstra tion that shall result in national prosperity. It is entitled to the vote of every American citizen who wants to see the government; nd rainistratered : in .an economical' fearless and impartial manner. , , "The Republican party is the party of plutocracy. .. It cnarapions the few; and oppresses the 11 any,' who in return for favors rendered are -only too glad to give every financial assistance to a party that, retained in power, will enable them to still further augment their dis honestly gained millions." So says the N. Y. World in its issue of September 19th. A Republican paper would substitute the word '-'Democratic" for the word "Repub lican" in the first line and then it would be good Republican doctrine. Both are correct as judged by the People's Party. Weaver Rally. Theie will bo a grand Weaver Rally at Missouri Flat on October 22, with basket dinner, given under the auspi ces of Missouri Flat Alliance No. 211. S. H. Holt and other prominent speak ers will be present. All are invited. J. F. Wisxek, Sec'y. Very Probable. Chicago, Oct. 10. A morning pnjxjr says the attempt was made by the local democratic executive committee . to bribe a messenger of the people's party not to take his party's nomination pa pers in this state to Springfield, and so prevent their being printed in the offi cial ballots. The sum alleged to bo agreed upon was $3000. At the last moment the messenger was changed and the plan fell through. , Minnesota Fusion. ST. Paul, Minn., Oct. 10. The democratic state central committee this afternoon withdrew the names of D. R. Hibbs. A. L. Saekett and James Brown from the electorial ticket, and indorsed in their respective places William Meighen, James Dillon and A. L. Stromberg, the populists' candi dates. They also indorsed A. II. Hul loway, of the people's party, in place of John C. Oswald, who resigned some time ago. Club Picnic. The people's party club gave a picnic at Soda Springs school hoii.se near Shcpard's place, Sunday week. Quite a large number went up from Ashland and Talent, and about 200 were report ed present, all told. Jas. G. Clark wiis present and recited some entertaining poems. Ira Wakefield was there ar.d delivered a fine speech, and W. H. Breese of Talent and Miss Colby, of Ashland, helped to entertain the crowd. A dinner, free for all, was served and a general good time is reported. WE4VEK AT PULASKI. He "Denies the Charges Against His Conduct During the War, NASHVlLLE,Tenn., Oct. 8. General James B. Weaver spoke at Pulaski to day, despite the rumor he would be badly treated for his alleged tyrannies in that section during the war. The men who made affidavits of his cruelty remained away from the fairground, where General Weaver spoke, and it is thought by some this averted the troub le. About 1000 people met the train on which Weaver arrived. A procession was formed or 1,370 people, led by a band. General Weaver rode in a car riage with Mrs. Lease and John U. McDowell, a people's party elector. By actual count 3,250 people passed in the gates. Perfect order - prevailed during the entire day and during the speaking. General Weaver, in the course of his speech, referred to the charges made against him as command er at Pulaski during the war. He de clared nothing done by him here was other than in accordance with the duty of a military commander in such times. He never did one single thing charged, except the levying of 2000, which was for careing for the negro refugees. In conclusion he said: "I pronounce the charges unqualifiedly false. The war is over. I come on a mission of frater nity. They said 1 dare not come; I knew I dared come, and would have come had the threats been a thousand times stronger." . .. , : Good Looks. . Good looks are more than skin deep depending upon a healthy condition' of the vital organs. If the liver be in active you have a bilious look, if your stomach be disordered you have a dys peptic look, and if your kidneys be affected you have a pinched look. Secure good health and Vou will have good looks. Electric - Bitters is the great alterative and Tonic acts dir ectly on these vital organs. Cures pimples, blotches, boils and gives a good complexion.

Editor Southern Oregon Mull: , Recorder Holmes informed ma that some one has changed the heading of vof. those., petitions asking the County board to place the. school Su perintendent's salary to where it was when 'elected by interlining and Mill-king out so as to make them ask tha board to increase his salary to SI.Q'JO per annum. I tlont think Mr. Prico would approve of iuch a'method, which, to say the least, looks like forgery; for who knows whether those pjtitions wero changed before or after they were signed. However, I think it is more than probable that-they wero changed after they wero signed. I dkmaxd that the names of those; on petitions so changed, be published, so that if there has been .forgory committed, it may come to light, I hope Mr. l'rice. or some of his friends, w ill look after this waiter at once. If it is forgery, the public should know it. IlAUVKY RlCHAKDSOX. Ira Wakefield's Dates.

Applegato was greated by a large audience of three or four hun dred in this city Tuesday night, most of whom wore of iho People's party faith. -He spoko entertainingly on the fiuanco and carried conviction wi;h his arguments. The Genend has e'cuied from the corruption of the g. o. p. and will lead many of the republicans out of the old republican hulk before she dashes to pieces against the plutocra tic rocks of destruction. A few cf the bitter ones will of course refuse to listen to the Gen. who was at one time their leader in the days of republican purity and to whom they pointed with pride. The people at last see that the People's party is true lo the interests of the people, and njuinst robbers in placss high and low. THE KOSTGAOE. He bought In lr6. a farm of stump and stone.

And he vowed to rauto the mortgage li'-c a no ble puritan. And he went forth every morning to the rupfed mountuln side. And dnp. as dug before him, poor old God He Gltrilted. He rained pumpkins and potatoes, down the monster's thrvat to pour. Who pulped them down and smacked his jaTrs autl calmly aked for more. He worked until his back was bent, until his hair was tfre-y : On the hill-side through a snow-drift, Uiey dug his grave one day. His tlrxi born son, Kllphalet. had no time to weep and brood. For the monster by his door-step, growled for ever for bis food. II o fed him on the garden truck, he stuffed his ribs with hay. And he fed him ergs and butter, but he would not go away. And Ellphalei ho ataggcred with the burden and then he died. And slept with old Mulehizedcck and God He GioriUed. Then the farm it fell to Thomas, and from Thomas fell to John. Then from John lo Eleazur aud the mortgage still Itvcd on. Then II fell to Kulph and Fetor, F.ll, Absolom and PuuL Down through nil the generations, but' the mortgage killed them all. About a score of years ago the farm came down to Jim. And Jim called in the mortgagee and gavo the farm lo him. There's no bumun heart so empty that it has no ray of hopo, So Jim gave up the ancient farm and went to making soap. lie grew a fifty milllonaro. a bloated, pampered nature; Uc owned ten ratlrouds, twenty mines, and the whole state legislature. And thousands did his gruff command, a&d lived upon his bounty. And he came home, bought back the farm and the entire county. FCopiod by J. F. Wlsnor from odd poems und things in u scrap book.

I gavo myself up to my Saviour, determined if I could not stay with my friends on earth, I would meet my ahitint ones above.
