The IsMsue are so clearly defined that "bo who run may read," On tbe one side are the nominee of the common people; men tried and true; men of known honesty and ability; men of clean band and jlear records. They stand for honesty, economy in the administration of state affairs, and for exact justice to all with out regard to pastor present party af filiation. Acrois the line stand the representa tives of a party which has robbed the state for twenty-five years; a partv whose choseu leaders have been bank wreckers and embezzler; a party con trolled by the corporation and the money power; a party without regard for the common people except when it desire their suffrages at the poll. Its nominee are under the same old influ ences which have controlled the party since it organization iu Nebrasku, anil depite all promiae and protestations that same influence is still all powerful, und us In the past, still stand for cor porat greej and extortion.

There fa entbueiaam In populist ranka at tbe campaign opening. From all over the state letter are coming to the Iwioc I'KNiiKNT filled with that guarantee of success hopeful, buoyant enthusiasm for the cause and for tbo ticket named to represent It. We aball be glad to print extract from the letter. Hend them in by the hundreds telllnir lust what tbe local sentiment la and what the work for the campaign in your neighbor hood should be. Meanwhile tbia paper ho a few sug gestion to offer for tbe campaign. Tbia ia a campaign for tbe producing claae of Nebraska. Tbe largest producing clas iu tbe state i the farmer class. A representative worklngman of tbat class ho been nominated for tbe highest place In the state. Tbe campaign for his (lec tion ought to begin among the farmer. It ought to begin at once without wait- ng for tbe state committee to set ita machinery in motion. In every forming precinct iu the atate there should lo- atantly be organized "Producing Clasa Clubs" to place Farmer Poynterlnth governor's chair. Io the camoalirn of 1800 the farmers of the state organized at home without waiting foranyatat committee. They elected a farmer gov ernor of tbia atat. They have an op. portunity to do it again and they have now tbe mean of placing bim iu tbe Mtate bouse after he f elected. Another thing. The republican poll- tican and railroad have nominated a lawyer for governor. They know that he three parties oppoeed to them have from 10,000 to 20,000 more vote in tbe state than they can muster. They know they cannot gain any populist or in fact any country vote in tbia campaign. Their sole and only bop In thl cam paign i to win democratic vote In the citie and especially among the commer cial class. They hops to bold tint remit,. lican farmer by waving the flag while they bargain with corporation, com mercial club and saloons for enough vote to elect llay ward. They will color their whole campaign with this effort nd mortgage everything there in to in ve n order to secure success. This effort must be met by exposing their tactics und rnaki 1)1 Cnnvorta "n v mong the farmer, fa ,Vcry farming recinct in the state are republican who ave been voting the ticket with a falter- ug band tor several years. Kvery pop- list in the precinct must make it hi usiniMs to secure these men. Now 1 he time to unite the produciuir clussc u Nebraska for their home und t ,..;,- hildreu. Still another thing. Tbecamnalun in tlii state cannot be wou bv cullinu- r amen. It cannot be won by slurrimr he republican party a a collection of thieve and rascals. If t ailing name would destroy a party there wouldn't be populist left.
