Mr. Johnsoft is a^lawyerbv profession, and has been solicitor of the fobrth , circuit for a number of years. He 0 ia an excellent speaker, a t borough pirlimentanan and a man of fixed ideas?not afraid to speak loudly his convictions. He is a strong advocate of the Chicago platform 4>f 1896,and an ardent admirer of <> W. J. Bryan.

Rotation in office. 2. A reduction in taxes. 3. An economical administra lion of the State government. The poorpeople constitute the backbone of the Reform movement, and their locality and de votion to their leaders showed their faith and their gratitude. For six years they remained as true to their old leaders as tlie needle to the pole, and so indelibly were the great principles of reform implanted 011 their hearts that they upheld Tillman even when he was advocating that they be loaded down with a $3 poll tax, which ment bread and raiment to many poor families. Now, after six years' trial what do we find? Has theie been any rotation in office? Go to Columbia and vou will sec the same men in power who were planted there more than six years ago. Has there been any reduction in taxes? While the wealth 01 mtr li ;i? inrrpnspil mnnv millions of dollars, taxes are equally as high, and in some counties even higher, than when our reformers took charge of the government. On the other hand thex burden placed upon our poorer classes has beeti largely augmented. Even the fertilizers that the tenant farmer lises under his mortgaged crop is taxed to maintain a college where only the sons of rich or well-to-do men can be educated. In fact, a big shortage has been discovered in the treasury, and the dispensary receipts, given by the constitutional convention to educate the poor children of our Slate, have been stolen from our little ones and turned over to the State treasurer to pay the running expenses of the government. Has there been an ecouomieal administration oft he government? While the farmer must sell his crops' below actual cost of production, not only have additional and high-salaried offices been oreatad, but whenever an effort is made in the legislature to cut I i salaries state officials organize themselves into a band of lobbyists, and reset the plane of retrenchment and reform so as to cut the thinnest shave possible, and which will fool the ptopb.
