PALO PINTO, TEX , MAY. 81, 1895.
Just us the populist party have
gained sufficont strength to control
tbe affairs of tbe country, the demo-
cratic bosses split in two on tbo
money question. One wing advo-
cates the free coinage of silver at the
rutio of 16 to 1, and tbo other side
espouses tlio cause of gold. But tbe
split is on tbe financial question, and
not on tbe question of office. Ob, no.
The democrats will nil come togeth-
er and harmonizo on the question.
To the Populiat or Palo Pinto | Iq tlllH county lhere are a grtal

County
A mass meeting of the members of
the People's Party is hereby called
10 meet at the court bou-e in Palo
Pinto at one o'clock, Saturday, June
8th, 1894. Every populist in the
county is urged to attend, as there
is business of importance to come lie-
fore the populist of this county. Tbe
slate executive committee desires
slate matters considered, and tbero
are several County matters meriting
your attention.

*The Democratic State Executive
Committee met at Dallas Monday, and
stood eight for gold and e.igbt to
silver, and ail for each others scalp.
The Waco and Memphis "Bound"
money conventions suooeeded in
knocking several holeii in the politi-
cal iense of sufficient dimension to
allow several thousand Toxas voters
a place to crawl through, and onto
the Omaha platform.
A report from Washington says
there will be two democratic candid-
dates for the presidency next year.
aDd that Cleveland will be ono ol
them, and of course there will be two
democratic candidates for Govenor
and all other officers in tbe state.

conage of silver, and there are manv
democrats standing by the gold plat-
form, and iboy are all standing for
tbe offices. Do you see any of tho-e
urdont 16 to 1 silver democrats join-
ing tbe free stiver party ? Of course
not. Tbey have all declared their
intention of remaining in the demo-
cratic party. Tbo silvor donioerats
say "we are Ibe democratic party."
The gold men say, ' we aro the dem-
ocratic party," Tho silver men tell
tbo gold bugs tbey aro republicans,
and the yellow metal mon reply by
charging the silver men with being
populist, so here it goes, Now watch
both sides work together, scheme to-
gether and vote together for the of-
fices. Whenever you hear a demo-

Negotiations looking to the publi-
cation of the Tribune in Mineral
Wells aro under way. If wo can
complete arrangements, you will
secure a better paper, under tbe
management of Mr. Byron Barber,
now editor of the Young County Call.
If you are interested in hayug a live
him be id talking populist- dootrine,
and his brothers tho gold men will
laugh at him, and you will hear his
bazoo no more. A genuine free sil-
vor mho must either join the populist
or tho silver party. We are anxiously
iwaiting for tbo round up in this
couuty. We do not believe there is
a single prominent democrat in this
county, willing to publicly announce
himself infavor ofstading squarely on
tbe state and national democratic
platform as interpreted by the men
that made them, neither is there a
democrat that has the courage to re-
nounce their allegiance to the plat-
iorm. Will tho democratic leaders
in this county keep their ear to the
ground awhile longer, or will tbey
follow the cat.
