Press representative to- night:
The forecast of the election given In
this mornings papers is about as near cor.
rect as could be expected. can assure
you. however, that the POpulists will be
more formidable than they are given credit
for. From the ccign of vantage which they
occupy they hold the balance of power,
and can dictate terms. They can do so
honorably, and they will do so. Repub-
lican and Democratic electors are morally
bound to vote for the candidates in whose
interest they were elected. Not so with
the Popclists. Hopeiessly in the minor
lty they cannot expect to elect
their candidate. and, as they are
fighting for measures and not men, their
duty is to secure as much as possible from
the wreck. without the aid of some Popu-
list votes neither Harrison nor Cleveland
can be chosen in the electoral college. This
the House. and Mr.. Clevelond's election
would follow inevitably. The Republicans
are as helpless as the Populists as far as re-
suite are concerned, and we can bring them
to terms These terms will be that they
must vote for either Senator Teller or
Senator Stewart. These gentlemen repre-
sent Republicanlsm. for which we care
nothing, but which the Republican
electors care everything. They rep
resent also the free silver idea. for
which the POpulists have been fighting.
and which is of paramount importance TO
them. You can depend upon it the trade
Will be made. The Republicans can retain
control of the government, which is their
struggle. The Populists will have free
silver President. and this will be victory
on one of the chief issues which they have
injected into the campalgn. The idea Is
not q new one. The programme has been
agreed on for some time, and awaited only
the contingency of q failure to secure votes
enough by either of the old parties to elect
its ticket. That contingency has arisen, as
must be obvious to everyone and the next
named"
