When men shall live by reason
And not alone by gold.

And every wrong thing righted
This whole world shall be lighted

FROM THE PEOPLE.
The people's party is booming in this
county. We will poll a majority in
November. Club at every voting box.
—J. A. Garrett, 1 roñosa.
Brown county reformers will hold an
encampment to last three days, beginning
on August 16th. Good speakers are to
be present.—J. T. Simpsou.
The people s party is on a boom in old
Nacogdoches couuty. Success to the
Mekcuky and its editor. Every issue
brings in new converts.—W. F. Prince,
Garrison.
I have recently read several copies of
your paper. I think it is decidedly the
best "reform paper" in Texas and equal
to the best published in the United States.
—Frank Graves, Flatonio.
The S. P. R. R. will give round trip
tickets of four cents a mile on all points
of the road in the 10th district, to the
joint debate at Columbus, August. 19th,
between the Hon. Harry Tracy and the
democratic nominee for Congress.—J. B.
Gay.
We are to have a barbecue and speak-
ing on the 17th of August. The people
would like to have some one that is a
good speaker to present our cause. The
place is in the Southern portion of San
Augustine county, near the county lines
of Angelina and Nacogdoches.—E. O.
Wood, Zana.
The people's party will hold their coun-
ty encampment and convention Aug. 15,
16 and 17. It is intended, and no doubt
will be, the grandest political rally ever
had in old Milam county. We will have
public speaking every day and band and
glee club music. We want our friends of
abjoining counties to come and enjoy a
"feast of reason and How of soul" with
us.—Wm M. Ferguson, Rockdale.
Notwithstanding we have determined
opposition in Walker county, it is gener-
ally conceded that the people's party will
poll a large majority We will have a
full county ticket in the Held. Our most
radical opponents admit that our State
ticket is a strong one, and that T. L. Nu-
gent is above reproach, and by far the
best selection the party could have made
for governor. We are greatly in need of
good speakers.—T. J. Brooks.
E. G. James, of DeKalb, Texas, writes
the Des Moines Tribune as follows:
"Weaver weak," yet stout enongh to
carry Texas in a whoop. Everything is
in a Weaving way down here and Fields
flourishing like a green bay tree for re-
form. The old party bosses and politi-
cians are dying hard. The democrats
have up their last scare crow, but it wont
work worth a cent. It is the force bill
racket. I am an ex-confederate, ex
democrat of twenty-flv« years' devotion,
but am now for gallant Weaver and
reform. Listen for something to drop in
Texas.
The Alliance encampment of Hunt
county met at Greenville on August 1st
and 2d. It was a grand success. From
three to five thousand people were pres-
ent. Speaking by Brothers J. M. Per-
due, Judge Nugent and Harry Tracy.
Their speeches were well received. Our
cause is in a prosperous condition in this
county. The people are pleased with
the State ticket and will roll up a majori-
ty for it in November. Judge Nugent is
popular with all classes of people, and
will carry a large vote outside of our
party. Sue
N. Clinton.
