EDITOR LEADER Please find mon
ey order for renewal Of my subscrip-
ton to the LEADER.
Well, ] am very much delighted at
the magnificent race made by the Poo
pies party. They have beaten the
record. Only organized four. months
since and carried, believe, 6 States,
and got large minorities in several
others. Thousands Of our party were
deluded into voting for Cleveland to
defeat Harrison. 1t is conceded now
that the Democrats will be in full pow
er during the next administration, and
if they restore confidence and financial
prosperity in all this Southland of
ours, that will immOrtalize the party
But if they fail to do that, woe be unto
the Democratic party. Four years
from now the p. p. will sweep this coun-
try like cyclone. l fail to see how
Cleveland can possibly do it from the
fact that he belongs to the money pow
er, which is opposed to the free coinage
of silver and also opposed to increas-
ing the volume of paper currency. |
stand firm ON the p. p. platform, and
in 1896, there will be mighty shaking
among the dry bones of the valley
bone will come to its fellow bone and
sinew and muscle and skin will come
together, and the God of nations will
raise up a mighty army to defend the
oppressed and down-trodden laboring
classes in this country. So mote it be.
