THE TRUTH ABOUT THE ELECTION.

be found the popular vote at the
November election. 1t is well to
study these figures. The results are
most encouraging to Reformers.
By Democratic admission, 'Ethat
miserable old WRETCH" Weaver, was
voted for by upwards of one million
equally miserable wretches, both old
and young.
BY Democratic admission, they
themselves cast all their votes in
Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Nevada,
North Dakota and Wyoming for the
despised James B. Weaver. Nor A
SINGLE DEMOCRAT IN THESE SIX
STATES VOTED FOR CLEVELAND.
Every mothers son of them marched
up to the polls and voted for ''that
miserable old wretch whom the
Democrats of Macon rotten-egged,
and for whom the Atlanta Ring had
prepared similar reception.
II our people needed any further
proof Of the monstrous game OF bluff
and deception and fraud which was
practiced on them by the Democratic
Bosses, this Table of FiguI es, fur
nished by the Democrats themselves,
will afford it. How can any Party
live in the respect of the people
when it denounces a thing in one
section and praises it in another?
When it hugs a Candidate in one
State and rotten-eggs him in an
other? When it Whites the Peo-
pies Party, its Leaders and its
Platform in the South while it glo-
rifles them in the West ?
It will be seen from the Table that
we cast 99,688 votes in Texas. Just
few years ago this State bore the
Banner Of Democracy. It was al
most solid for that Party. Now the
Democrats are fighting for dear life
against revolted vote Of one hun
dred thousand men
Look all down the column of figures
and see how narrow is the Demo
cratic majority in dozen of the
States Consider what very heavy
vote we polled South Of the Potomoc
as well as in the West.
Then note the total vote at the
foot of the columns and get a good,
clean and retentive grip upon the
splendid fact that
CLEVELAND IS A MINORITY PREsI-
DENT.
Tell your wife to remind you Of
this the first thing every morning.
It will start you out in pleasant
and forgiving frame of mind.
Yes, Sir!
After all their brag and buster,
we have put the Democracy in
Minority on the Popular vote, and
their President is a Minority Presi-
dent!
5,6O7,842 voters said he ought to
be Chief Magistrate, while 6,425, SIG
said he ought not to be.
Study the condition Of Political
affairs as disclosed IN this Table,
kindly furnished by our friends, the
Democrats, and you will fully re-
alize, for the first time perhaps, how
magnificent are the possibilities of
the Peoples Party.
Knowing what we know about
the frauds of both the old Parties,
and making a fair estimate based
upon these facts, it is my deliberate
Judgment that Gen. Weaver actually
received Two Million votes, and
that Cleveland and Harrison did not
receive, by one million, what is
counted for them.
Chew on these figures, Brethren,
and keep right in the Middle Of the
Road.
Think Of the advantage the old
Parties had over us think of their
money, newspapers, machinery, lies,
frauds, tricks, and coercions, and
then say whether you don't think
we did wonderfully well. Your
brave wife will say so, I'm sure.
