WASHINGTON, July 2l.-Now that the
national committees are made up and the
gossip of the work of the campaign is in a
way put in substantial form, it is remark
able fact that the Peoples party is attract
ing more real interest than either of the
old parties from the experienced
politicians The divisions IN the
Democratic party, the difficulty
the Republicans experienced in organizing
after the nomination of Mr.. Harrison, the
defeat OF the silver bill, which was chief
aim of the Third party, has encouraged the
element most conspicuously represented by
Tom Watson in the House, to hope for what
would seem to the rest of the world the
widest results
During the last few DAYS L have talked
with many members of the Peoples party,
and other Southern and Western citizens
not afiliatiug with it, and it is apparent
from the information gained, that the work
that is being done is something never
before attempted by an Independent:
party in this country, and that the move
ment is more formidable BY far than would
appear from the reports in the press, which
is not in sympathy with it, and which does
what it can to suppress the truth.
A Sanguiue Third Party Lawyer
For instance, Robert NJ. Smith, former
New York man, but now prominent law
yer in Florida and attorney and partner in
one of the wealthiest phosphate companies
in that State, who has been here on business
this week. tells me that he has had pro-
fessional work to do throughout Florida and
Georgia in the last few weeks, and
has found the movement of the Peoples
party to be carrying everything before it.
He tells me that he has seen the most prom
inent citizens from every part of the South
and tha. in private and non-partisan con-
versation they well agree that the Peoples
party is likely to carry North Carolina,
several other Southern States, in regard to
which the information is not at this time
so we'll defined
The missionary work, that is being done
here in Washington is remarkable. Not
only is the organ of the Alliance the
National Economist, sending out a vast edI-
tion weekly, but another newspaper the
National Watcinian published under the
auspices of the Third party members
in Congress, is having an immense
circulation. Its Office has the appearance of
the headquarters of a national committee
