Editor Independent: ' Enclosed find
blanks filled out to the best of my
ability, a thing that I was very glad
to do. Also find P. O. order for $1 to
pay. postage. The secretary of our
county committee has moved to Knox-
ville, Tenn. All the populists (or
nearly all) in Meadviile have'YOted
the socialist ticket the last two years.
So also in Titusville and Coneautvilic,
this county, because the populist or
ganization went fusion with demo
cratic officeseekers and was swallowed
soul and body.
I do not know of one farmer in this
county that voted the socialist ticket;
the majority of them stayed at home
on election day.
Socialism is only a class or "snap"
man's party, and never can be more
than that. The platform stands
some untried things which it is im
possible to understand or accomplisn
Please put my name on the list of the
Old Guard. C. H. BLYSTONE.
D. M. McConnell, Franklin counlj,
Ga.: "I think Mr". De Hart misrep
resents Mr. Watson on tariff for rev
enue. If I understand Mr. Watson, he
repudiates all tariffs and wants a
graduated income tax on franchises
obtained through lobbying, bribery
and other class legislation. Mr. Wat
son has had more opposition than any
other man in the south, but he ha3
shown himself to be the ablest ex
ponent of true democracy since the
days of Thomas Jefferson. Forward
with the noble work you have in hand
and may God reign and rule in the
hearts of men." -
Custer County, Neb.
Editor Independent: I am on the
list of the Old Guard and I herewith
forward my ballot, showing the choice
for president of the United States. 1
have sent you a small amount to help
defray postage, etc., and soon as con
venient. I will send you a little more.
I prefer populism to any new parly
that could be launched. Populibm
has made and can make a great. and
better record than the Way land or
Kangaroo socialism has made or ever
will make. Kangaroo or Wayland so
cialism as a party contains all the
freaks and fakirs as leaders of the
movement who are after office and
who played traitors to socialism! by
trying to break it up in the same man
ner as D. Clem Deaver tried to sell
out and break up populism. . .
If I ever become a socialist I wju'l
join a genuine S. L. P. socialist move
ment. Since that seems to be a-too
radical a movement for ihe farm and
small business element of the west at
present, I intend to remain a populist
while there is any show for reform
through the populist movement. :

E. W. Robbins, Waldo county,
Me. : "Populism in Maine dead and
buried. As for myself, I was a re
publican; joined greenback .part),
was sold out; went Into labor union
party, was sold out again; joined pop
ulist party, was sold out again; and
was urged to cast my vote for . the
democratic nominee, but I have not as
yet voted since. Populism is dead in
Maine and cannot be resurrected. I
have spent a great deal of time aad
considerable money for the cause of
populism, but am done. Am "5 years
old,, and never expect to see a change
from old party ideas. Socialism is
taking deep root In Maine and most
of my old populist comrades will vote
it this fall. I do not know a single
old populist in my vicinity, where wc
had a club of 75, that could be in
duced to vote for it Therefore I de
cline to take any part in politics."

Valley, County, Nebraska
Editor Independent: Enclosed please
find application blank properly filled.
I presume I am entitled to be en
rolled in the Old Guard also, although
I am only 42 years old. I have beta
supporting populist principles since 1
have been old enough to vote.
You are at liberty to call on me
for at least 30 days in the campaign
and $10 a little later on. I have ae
voted a good deal of time and money
to the cause in the past and am will
ing to continue in the cause the rest
of my life, provided , we pursue a
straight forward course. No more

or may not do. Nq. more trafficking

me. J. a. CRONK.
This is the way Brice McCoy, oi
Cass county, Mo., winds up his Oid
Guard enrollment blank: , "I have
helped to fight populist battles and
tried to carry the banner to victory,
but never held any office never waul
ed any office hadn't lost any office
and, therefore, never hunted for any
office. Have stumped our county sev
eral times; made the first public
greenback speech ever made in the
county. Have been with the party
ever since I876am there yet and ex
pect to stay there. Have lots of good
fight in my old hide yet and can get it
out when called for." .
Iosco County, Mich.
Editor Independent: If the Cleve
land and Hill democrats capture the
next democratic convention, mv vote
and my support will be with the pop
ulist party. I am a Bryan democrat
and have taken The Commoner and
the Nebraska Independent since '3.
Was a, republican until Ihe St. Louis
convention, '96.
It s to be hoped for the eood of the
Bryan democrats and populists that
tne reorganizes of the, democratic
party capture the . next democratic
convention. Then the reform element
of the. republican and democratic par
ties will .look for justice under the
banner of the Old Guard. If W. - J.
Bryan respects the policy he advo
cates, he will be found there if the.
Clevelandites are successful. ,
I have great respect lor Bryan, bur.
I would have greater resnect if he
would gather his flock under the ban
ner of the Old Guard.

Mr. Carl Carlson, an employe cf the
B. L. Paine Clothing House, who died
last week, held a policy in the Secur
ity Mutual Life Insurance Co. of Lin
coln. The company has told his
brother, who Is" the beneficiary, that
the policy will be paid as soon as the
proofs of death are made out." -----
This is one of the great advantages
in having a policy with a home com
pany. Settlements are much quicker
and easier made than with foreign
companies.
Mr. Carlson was a young man m
the prime of life and had no thought
that he would die. He had his policy
only a year and a half. He had no
family of his own, but took the pol
icy for the benefit of a young brother
in the event of his death.
