Asa result of the war, corporations have been enthron- ed and an‘era of corruption in high places will follow, and money power of the country will endeavor to pre long its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the republic is destroyed. I feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety of my country than ever be fore, even in the midst of war. God grant that my suspicions my prove groundless.” DeArmond and Overmyer. Blackburn, Mo., Sept. 25 —David A. DeArmond of Butler, Mo, ad dressed an audience of over 3,000 people here today. Overmyer spoke first, entertaing the audience for two hours with one of the strongest speeches ever delivered in this part of the country. Hon. D. A. DeAr- mond, in ove and one-half hours, de- livered a speech of equal excellence. Both speakers took strong grounds in support of the Democratic candi- dates and platform, and by their un- answerable argument did a great deal of good for the cause. The fight being waged on Lon Stephens and Senator Vest is solely on the ground of their advocacy of silver. As the next legislature will elect a U. 9. Senator,every man who has the cause of silver at heart, be he democrat, populist or repub- lican, should vote fer Geo. B. Ellis, the democratic nominee for the leg- lature.

Middle-of-the-R oad Populists in Kansas Will Put Up Watson Electors. IoLa, Kan., Sept. 12.—Chairman Brei- denthal yesterday made a suggestion to Thomas E. Watson and his mana- ger, Mr. Reed, which may result in the solution of the problem about the fu- sion arrangement in Kansas. It was that the whole matter be referred to the democratic and populist national executive committees. Both Mr. Wat- son and Mr. Reed promised to think it over. However, Mr. Watson de- clined to change the tone of his speeches in this state, and declared his intention of continuing to plead his cause before the pecple. With a view of forcing a change in the per- sonnel of the fusion electoral ticket the middle-of-the-road men propose to nominate a set of Bryan and Watson electors by petition. This was agreed upon yesterd by Abe Steinberger land J. F. Willits, who have assumed the management of the middle-of-the- jroad movement.
