Evening capital. (Annapolis, Md.) 1884-1910, 1890-11-22


THE Farm aud Home, an agri-
cultural semi-monthly Journal, pub
lished at Springfield, Mass, and
Chicago, H., is much elated at The
results of the recent elections, and
in an article of considerable length,
says
"Now this political oyerturning-
never exceeded and only twice equal
cd in our history-means new men
aud new measures, or it means moth
ing. Yet with a blindness that is
phenomenal, the managers" OF
both parties are already putting for
ward the same old names for the
presidency in 1892, just as though
the professional politicians and not
the common people were to name
the candidates. So the dolly press
resound with the names of Cleveland
aud Blaine, or Mckinley aud Car
lisle, or Depew aud Hill. But as it
was the farmers vote that has large
ly caused the late tidal wave, so it is
the wishes of the vast producing
masses, especially Of the Central and
Western states and Of the Mississip-
pi and Missouri valleys in particular,
that must govern not only the policy
but the nominees of both parties.--
Any failure by either party to re-
cegnize this overwhelming element,
will result in such a development
Of the Peoples party as will equally
jeopardize republican aud democrat
lc chances in 1892, possibly capture
the presidency. and certainly sweep
the country like a whirlwind in
1896. Our great NOTWITHSTANDING
nesota, the Dakotas, Iowa aud Ne
braska, joined by Kansas-has
spoken in stentorian tones. The
restlessness under bossism in both
parties shown in this section is
deeply sympathized with among the
common people throughout the East
and South. This element-the
common people, mostly farmers and
farm workers-are about ready to
unite all disaffection in the Peoples
party, unless the democratic and re-
publican bosses give away to new
men and enable the masses to use
their power through existing parties.
The people, not the politicians are
bound to rule"
The "Farm and Home" advises
the Republicans to nominate the
present secretary of Agriculture,
'fUncle Jerry Rusk, of Wisconsin,
and make him the staudard-bearer
in 1892, assisted by some Eastern
man fresh from the people," The
Democrats are admonished to make
VIM. II. Hatch, of Missouri, speaker
Of the House of Representatives,
and if be "displaYs the same appre-
citation of the wants of our wealth
producers and of all that is best in
Democracy that has characterized
his past career, then he above all
men, says the EARN aud Home"
is marked as the leader Of the DEM
ocracy two years hence, joined by
some bright representative of the
eastern Democrats like Governor
elect Russell Of Massachusetts,.
This, perhaps, is verv good advice
to both parties, butwh is to become
Of Blaine, Mckinley, Depew and
others who have born the blunt of
the Republican party since its for
nation, or of Cleveland, Hill, Car
Isle and others who have led the
Democratic party for the past TWEEN
ty-five years Pare they to be suddenly
and ANONYMOUSLY thrust aside, and
new men, who have never learned
State-craft and who are not familiar
with the workings of government,
to be placed at the head of over
sixty millions of people? The far.
mers must recollect that the science
Of government is far more intricate
and requires longer training than
the plain and simple modes of run
