Recent Election.
BE Is GRATIFIED AT TIE RESULT.

He Predicts No IseIlof from the
Dominant Party, Says the Retir-
tng Party Is "welI Nigh Annihi-
lated" and Urges Organization.
Dies MoISEs, Ia., Nov. 17.-General
Weaver has issued an address in which
be congratulates his followers on the
splendid showing made by the third
party and sounds note Of warning as
TO what vicious legislation may be OK
pected from the party in the ascendancy.
The address says:
"Unaided by money, our grand young
party has made an enviable record and
achieved surprising success at the polls.
We are but little behind the Republican
party in the number of states carried.
Not being formed on sectional lines, our
party in a single campaign has gained a
large and influential following in every
state In the south.
"The country is to be congratulated
upon the fact that the leaders of one of
the heretofore great parties have been
abandoned and overthrown by the people
and their organization well nigh anni-
hilated. This leaves the former ad-
herents of that party free to align them
selves with the great anti-monopoly and
Industrial movement. The accession of
the other party to power is the result of
violent reaction, and not, am sure, of
the deliberate Judgment of the American
people.
1.-THE battle leaders of the triumphant
party are without any well defined policy
except that of contemptuous disregard
for every element of reform within the
ranks of their own party and among the
people at large. The new administra-
tion will ignore the three great conten-
tions of modern times, relating to land,
money and transportation, and will not
attempt to solve either. In fact, the
= whole force of the new regime will be
exercised to prevent reform iu these i'm
Dortant matters.
Free Coinage Urged.
"The urgent demand of the people for
the free coinage Of silver is to be dis
dainfully ignored, and new obstacles
will doubtless be interposed to further
restrict the use of the whole metal. In
contempt of the doctrine of Andrew
jackson, European aristocrats are to be
permitted to dictate our financial policy.
"One Of the most valuable results Of
the late civil war-that of uniform
legal tender currency issued by the gov
ernment-is to be sacrificed and aban-
doned. Serious attempts will be made
10 force the people to return to the
fraudulent system of state bank issues
which existed previous to the war, and
which periodically swmdled the indus
trial classes of the fruits of their toll.
This is to be sprung upon the people by
q sudden stroke Of policy by leaders who
have carefully kept their motives con-
cealed from the public. This crime is
TO be enacted into law between elections.
and before the people can have time TO
pass upon the question by the selection
Of representatives chosen for the pur-
pose.
"Our party has not made its advent
too soon. Its mission is TO restore TO our
government its original and only legiti-
mate function, which has been well nigh
lost by non-usage, that of securing to Ill
OF its citizens, the weak as well rs the
mighty, the unlnolested enjoyment of
their inalicnablo rights. This cannot be
accomplished until the relations between
labor and capital are so adjusted as to
cause each to respect tho domain of the
i, Slher.
Il sincerely trust that the work of or.
ganization may now be pushed with
energy throughout all the states. The
field is ours, and We must occupy il
without delay"
