What the
the
Papers Have to Say About
People's Candidate lor
President.
General Weaver's Record, His Views,
His Meetings and His Pros
pects of Success.
A Calamity Howler.
Who was the very first man in con
gress to oppose the destruction of legal
tender money?
(Jencral Weavor.
Torso doing ho was styled by the
curs who were engaged in roobing the
people as a calamity howler.
Who was tho first man in congress to
point out the results that would follow
tho demonetization of silver?
(leueral Weaver.
For so doing ho was styled by the
money power as a calamity howler.
Well, all wo have to say is this: He
told tho truth, and the calamities he
predicted twenty years ago are now
upon us.
To be a plain "calamity howler' ot
General Weaver's dimensions U a
calamity mo&t devoutly to be wished
for.
Sinco tho money power assumed con
trol of legislation tho country has been
mighty short on statesmen
A statesman, gentle reader, is a
man who can look ahead and correct
ly prophesy the futuro effect of legisla
tion. General Weaver called tho turn on
old Judas Iscariot Sherman fifteen years
ago.
Therefore, a calamity howler must be
only another name for a statesman.

GEN. "WEAVER ON riNKEKTONS.
"I regard the situation throughout
the country as very grave, and I have
believed for some time that we are near
ing a serious crisis. If tho present
strained relations between tho corpora
tions and their employees, between
wealth-owners and wealth-producers,
continues much longer, they will ripen
into frightful disaster. When Home
was near her fall tho wealthy barons
had their I'inkortons.
''They aio an armed body of cruel
mercenaries and a me nan.; to the peace
of society and tho lives of the people.
At their .bidding bloodshed follows
close upon the heels of corporate tyr
anny. They must bo suppressed, and
tho terrible economic conditions which
have spanned this cruel army of thugs
upon the country must bo changed at
once or the republic must give away to
corporate despotism.
"The frightful condition of affairs in
Pennsylvania will strike tho whole
country like an alarm bell at midnight.
Public sympathy will - naturally be with
the men struggling to exist upon the
earth and for their lives and little
ones."
"TOE SAME OLD AVEAVF.ll."
So says the Chicago Tribune, and for
once that unreliable tool of monopoly
hit tho nail square on tho head.
Yes, "it'!!! tho same old Weavor." The
"same old Weaver" who, in ISSO.agamst
the most adverse circumstances, polled
350,000 voics as the candidate if the
greenback party.
Tho "same old Weaver," who, during
his two years in congress, made thing
so hot for tho two old parties that tbey
fairly turned heaven and earth to do-
feat his re-election, which they accom
plished only by outrageous lying and
scattering 'Wall street money like

It's the "same old Weaver" eo noted
in political debates for calling thing3 by
their right names and giving ligures

It's the "samo old Weayer" whom the

NGIiLE WORDS.
Tho following is an extract from Gen
eral Weaver's speech of acceptance at
Omaha:
"This 13 the grandest moment of our
civilization. It is rallying tho best
hearts and tho best heads of tho nation
around the three great contentions of
modern time3 tho great land problem,
the great currency or linanciai problem,
and the groat and oycrthadowing prob
lem of transportation. These aro the
centers around which this great move
ment is rallying. You are right, and
you will be triumphant as certain as we
aro assembled In this hall. Your faith
and your work will conquer. This is
no longer a country governed by the
people, and it is the great duty today
devolving upon tho party which you
represent t ) rescue the goverme I
from tho grasping federated monopolies
and restore it to the great common peo
ple to whom it belong?,"
II 15 WILL BE ELECTED.
General James 1. Weaver will be
elected president on the 8th of Novem
ber. To some who have not kept track
of tho great upheaval that is taking
place, this might seem incredulous, but
no man's chance? were ever better.
Cleveland and Harrison's position on
tho silver question has turned the entire
west and south against them, and they
will havo to content themselves lighting
for the. electoral vote of tho eastern
states. Weaver will carry every state
west of the Mississippi river, with the
possible exception of Missouri, Califor
nia and Oregon, and has a lighting
chance for California. Among the
southern states he will carry Texas,
Louisiana, Tennessee, Alabama, Geor'
gia, North and South Carolina and Vir
ginia. Now th s article won't take up
much space so just cut it out and paste
h in your hat, and when you read the
election returns this fall, just give the
Commoner tho credit of telling you
four months in advance what the re
sult would bo Kansas Commoner.
A ElUSEU.
The Coming Crisis published at
Pueblo, Col., speaks a3 follows of Gen.
Weaver's meeting at that place:
General Weaver and party were ac
corded the greatest audience that ever
greeted a visitor to the city. J ni3 is
couceded by even the partis n opposi
tion. Tho morning gold bug organ ad
mits thero were 7.000 people in the
Mineral Palace find the oveiilow meet
ing on the outside. The meeting has
opened the eyes of many sleepy headed
partisans, i he speeches made a great
impression and did much good in get
tir g some of our friends, the enemy, to
thinking. Like gatherings creeled the
party all over tho state, the mining sec
tions going wild with enthusiasm No
one can note those greetings without
realizing the great change ia the public
mind. Colorado is corceded to Weaver
by an overwhelming majority by even
prominent republicans., Unites Ihe
fi lends of freo silver are betrayed by
over-confidence, it, is only a matter of
how largo the maj ivity will bo.
A BRILLIANT, BRAINY MAN
General Weaver U a brllian,
brainy man. Hois a patriot with a
record of which any man nriy be
proud. His voice has been ever raised
for the interests of the poor and lowly,
for tho great masses of the people, and
against ihe greed and ruthless purposes
of the rich and powerful. All this is
good, but we support liiru because ho is
for Colorado, for silver, and silver is
ail in all to us. Grand Junction (Col.)

out of the stale on his way to Nevada
and California. He spoke to immense
audiences at Denver, Pueblo, Leadville,

being greeted by hundreds and thous

this route, in many cases making brief
ten-minute speeches to eager listeners

ALABAMA AND COLORADO.
Alabama will bocarrled for Weaver
by 23,000 majority. So will South and
North Carolina, Florida and probably
half a dozen other southern r':uts. Let
the northern states serve Harrison the
same way and tho elert u of Weaver
by the people will bo r.s probable as
that of either Hanison or Cleveland.
A nice spectacle is presented in Colorado
truly. Tho hide-bound democratic state
of Alabama repudiates Cleveland be
bause of his enmity to silver and citi
zens of Colorado asking Colorado men
to vote lor him! lhc humilielion and
insult aro equally as great to ask a
Colorado ruaa to vote fnr Harrison.
Colorado extends her hand to Ala
bama, and in November will unite its
voto with her for Weaver and free coin
