From Southern Lands. The many friends of J. W. Sherwood will be interested in the following let ter from him, and all will be pleased to learn of the gratifying improvement in his health resulting from his sojourn in the "Sunny South." Rogers, Ark , Oct 1, 1SU2 I am here enjoying the pure moun tain air, mountain breizesand drinking the spring water. Am decidedly bet ter so far. Am afraid I will lose my vote this fall, but have been verv near losing it forever, and feel only too glad i A AT . - . . I man i now nave some nopes of living to bo as much of a thorn in the flesh to plutocracy as I possibly can in the fu ture. I find lots of populists and en thusiastc independents here. : J. W. Sherwood. Khamp at South Bend. South Bend, Neb., Sept. 29, 189). lloa. Jeromo Shamp spoke here to. night to one of the largest audiences yet gathered in this place during the campaign. Mr. Shamp took up the silver ques tion and discussed it In an able manner, passed on to numerous acts of sp; cial legislation, .showed how arrogated wealth and usury bearing bonds had dwarfed the poor and helped the rich. Mr. Shamp's speech made a marked impression upon the voters present. Iloa. W. L. CundifT of Lincoln was in troduced and made several telling hits, and the audience which was largely of the old parties, was treated to a clever exposure of tho hypocirsy of the old combination, and while neither he nor Shamp created any marked en thusiasm their array of facts set the audience to thinking Answered Himself. Hon. John M. Thurston made one of his great speeches at O'Neill a few nights ago. The Neligh Tribune commenting on his inconsistencies says: Probably no large number of Mr. Thurston's hearers thought of the lu- dicrousness of his position on the putting of government money out among the people. He said the gov ernment might co n hundreds of mill ions of dollars but the people would be no better off. There was no way of getting it into circulation among them, and it would bo idlo in the treasury. Ho was very empha'io on this point. And then ho went on in tho very next sentence, to speak of the occasional surplus iu the treasury. He didn't be lieve in keeping any there. He would put it out auconyf the people How? Why, first, by doubling the pension of every old soldier. Second, by subsidiz ing every steamship line till the Amciicau Hag should 11 oat from the mast of nearly every water crafs; Third, by building a good government post office in every considerable town. Every intelligent per? on will excuse us for laughing at tho ludicrousnctis of Thurston thus most euccessfully corn bitting tho fallacies of Thurston. Perkins County in Line. Grant, Neb., Sept. 29, 1892. An enthusiastic meeting was held to night by the independents, and a Wt aver club organized, with a large membership. The independents of this county arc enthusiastic for the whole ticket, and while this is a strong independent county the people's party will materially increase their vote this fall. The old parties are completely demoralized in this county and at a meeting cf the county central com mittee of the republican party last Saturday, it was decided not to put any county ticket in the field. The demo cratic central committee met on the same day, and after conferring with the republicans, they decided to issue a call for a convention. It is known that tho two old parties have decided upon a scheme for a fusion. Last fall this scheme was tried and the independents beat the combine, and they will do the same again this fall. Great preparations are being made by loth parties for the joint del ate here on October 4tn between Mc Keighan and Andrews, and the inde pendents will give "our Mac" an en thusiastic reception. The republicans are getting desper ate this fall, as is evidenced by the re marks cf Henry St. Reynatv republican candidate for senator in a speech made by him at Harrisburg a few days ago when he told the republicans "to use muscle if necessary in order to elect their candidates."

The Bank Cashier (leaving) Very well, sir; I shall have one before evening. And. by the way, you will have no objection to the ceremony taking place .in Can adaP Life. Their Private Opinions. It is interesting to know just what republicans think about the situation Of course when they talk "for publica tion" everything is lovely and "the goose hangs Ivgh," but when they talk matte ri over in private, they ei-ess very different views. Tho following are genuine reports of conversations of this kind: On a train just after the Van Wyck Crounse debate at L:ncoln, a sleepy independent sitting just benind two re pub'icans overhears: First Rep. "Do ou think Crounse stands any show to be elected?" Second Rep. "No, I don't. He may get a fair vote in Ojiaba and Lincoln, but all over the state things are going the other way. What do you think?" First Rep. "I think so too. Of course I don't talk it, but this is just between ourselves." In the state houfo not long ago, an independent heard the following dia logue between two prominent ropubli can politicians: No. 1. "What do you think of the situation?" No. 2 "O, I think our prospect is pretty good sinco Morton has been nominated. Ho has helped Crounse's pro- poets a great deal " No. 1. "Yes, I think so. Morton will hold tho democrats solid, and keep them from voting for Van Wyck." On a train a few days ago, a promi nent g. o. p. leader from the Republi can Valley fell into conversation with a prominent independent whom ho mistook for a republican: Ind. What is the political situation down your way?" Rep. "O, we're in a bad way. The alliance fellows are going to sweep everything." Ind. ''Do you mean to say that our leading men see it that way?" Rep. "Yes sir. Of course they don't talk it, but that's just the way they see it." In Omaha a prominent republican talks to a friend who he doesn't know has joined the independents: Friend "What do you think of the political situation?" Rep. "0, it looks like Crounse isn't in it. Van Wyck is popular. It is a regular landslide to the old Genera'. I wouldn't be a bit surprised it he gets fifteen or twenty thousand majority. He may carry Omaha." An Ultimatum Mistress: "Nora.' you look unhap py. What's tho cause?" Nora. Please, mum, me meals don't su.C Mistress: "Why, has Mr. Johnson: my husband, been complaining of them? Ho hasn't to me." Nora: "No. mum, but Mr. Johnson, the po liceman. se.i 1 11 have to bo afther get tin' up neither meals or get off the beat. " Rochester Post-Express. A $upicions ircK!ust Atice.
