I voted for Grover Cleveland. and now lie allows Sparks to make war upon the poor homesteaders who subdue the soil to raise their bread and butter. Another homesteader from the same section. writing in behalf of himself and his neighbors. says: If the rulings of Sparks are carried out we homesteaders of the wild West are ruined and our hopes forever blasted. These orders have cast a gloom over the entire Northwest. emigration has fallen off. money is scarce. and produce goes abegging for want of buyers. We all feel as if a cyclone had passed over. We call upon you to fight this infamous administration of the law. fight like a tiger against injustice and wrong.
