But we desire to say a few words
about the Alliance. There are po-
liticians and bitter partisan papers
throughout the State that would de-
light to crush the Alliance. They
have sung its praises during this
campaign, but at the same time
cherished no special regard for the
organization. They know that this
reform movement was, in a great
measure. brought forward by the
Alliance. This great and powerful
organization has done more to edu-
cate the masses in political economy
and in industrial reform than any
rganization that ever existed in this
country. Its WORK has been rapid
and thorough. From one end Of the
country to the other the masses have
been grounded in its principles. They
vet adhere to them. They believe
them to be right. They believe they
offer a just solution Of the evils af-
flicting the country. And we be-
lieve they will dare to maintain them

that all differences may be reconciled

THE CAUSE AND THE MEAN
ING.

The result Of the election all over
the country is surprise to every
Que, and to none more than to the
Democrats themselves. The Demo
cratic party has held the vantage
ground from the beginning of the
fight, but the leaders did not expect
such sweeping victory. The
wisest men of the party are more
thoughtful than jubilant. For over
thirty years the Democratic party
has been the party of opposition,
their Statesmen have been trained
for generation to be successful
ObjectorS, to be negative rather than
positive workers in State craft. Now
to be suddenly put in possession of
all these branches of the government
is victory that brings responsibility
that is embarrassing to the party
leaders. All the more is this true
inasmuch as the result Of the cleo
ton Is not rs much an endorsement
of the party as protest from the
masses against present conditions.
The size and concert of this protest
from every quarter is due largely to
the agitation and discussion of
economic questions by the reform
element of the country. Hundreds
of thousands were educated on and
converted to the principles of the
Peoples party, who did not have the
courage to vote with the party or
who thinking that it could not win
this time, decided to vote for the
Democratic party this time as the
lesser of the two evils. In the past
the party has always promised much
but could always face the voter by
claiming that they had not chad a
chance They now have the chance.
Much will be expected. If the party
temporizes with the situation, and
fails to wipe out the oppressive legis-
lation and to give the people the
needed remedial legislation, there
will be tremendous reaction. But
this reaction can never be to the
Republican party, for it has nothing
: to rally the people to. The landslide
will be to the Peoples party. There
is room for this party, it is needed
and the next two years will show it.
1t is impossible for the Democratic
party to meet the expectations of the
people on account of the confiictine
interests of the elements that have
contributed to the success of the
party this time, the Northern and
New England elements of the party
(Which controlled the policy of the
party in the last Congress, and which
will do it in the next) will never
agree to the legislation that is needed
by the South and the West. As soon
as the mass Of the voters see this.
there will be Encouragement of
party lines. A party of the South
and West will face party of the
North and New England. The re-
suit of this election paves the way
for the reformers to crystalline its
forces into one party and win in the
next fight. The outlook is propiti-
Gus.
