THE DEMocRArIo ANNEX.

Senator Dolph. Of Oregon. devoted q
portion Of his able speech at Portland last
Saturday night to the Peoples party. He
first pointed out that the only possible eff
feet Of the movement will be to aid the
Democratic party. II the election should
be thrown into the house Of representa-.
tives the election Of Cleveland would be
certain. II the Democrats succeed in pro-
noting the Third party movement and in
thus detaching Republican votes for that
ticket while at the same time they recall
the Democratic adherents OF the Thifd
party TO their allegiance TO the Democratic
party the vote of close Republican states
may be thrown for Cleveland. Republican
votes for the Third party ticket, there
Gore, cannot possibly accomplish anything
It best save to help the election Of Cleve-
and.
Concerning the calamity" err Of the
Peoples party. Mr.. Doiph said 1, was
based on q condition Of things which did
not exist. We quote:
