as 10 the results OF Jne election I'D Unls
county this fall. and there is the usual
dissatisfaction with all the tickets.
The Republican ticket is by 40 means
satisfactory to all the Republicans,
and all the candidates will not receive
the united support of the party. The
Democrats are divided as to the best
course for the party to pursue and
one faction demand full ticket,
while the other would like to cooper
ate with the Populists in defeating
their lifelong enemy, and about the
same feeling exists in the Peoples
party. One faction, while having no
disposition to relinQuiSh one jOt or
little of their principles, believe it
policy to concede a portion of the
offices to the Democrats for their CO.
operation and help. The other fac
ton is equally certain that the best
policy is to keep square in the middle
of the road and cast solid vote for
reform and progress, holding the
prrty alOOf of all alliances with any
other political organization, while in
viting all refermerS to join them in
the work Of accomplishing the mis-
sion of the party. All are undOubt-
eddy sincere and have the best inter-
eStS Of the party in view and it is only
a matter of policy as to which is the
better course to pursue. However,
there should be no hesitancy on the
part of any POpulist in buckling on
the armour and preparing for the
coming fight, and in making up his
mind to give his ticket his full, hearty
and undivided support. Every candi-
date is well worthy the united sup
port of the party. They were placed
on the ticket by the Peoples Party
convention, duly selected and organ
lied. Individual preferences should
not sway a single POpulist when it
comes to casting his vote.
1t is as plain as day that the hope
of the country and our boosted free
American citizenship depends upon
the success of the Peoples Party or
new party embracing and promul-
eating the principles of the party.
Neither of the old parties offer the
people any assurance chat the reforms
they are demanding will be granted.
1t is true a portion of both old parties
are heartily in favor Of financial and
tariff reforms, but the party leaders
seem determined to stand by the fav-
0red classes, even at the risk of losing
a large part of their following.
Thousands of Republicans and Dem
ocratS are POpuliSt in sentiment TO-
day, and will no, longer be led by pol
iticians. They cling to the old party
names with hope that their views
will ultimately be adopted and car
ried out by their own organizations
When finally the course of their par
ties dispel all hopes they will 60 to
that party which most surely cham
pions their cause and ideas of self
government. Then will the Peoples
Party increase and multiply as never
a party did before. In fact, to-day
it is marching in solid phalanx and
increasing with such rapid strides
that it is the terror of political mi
nipulators and the pride of the mass
eS.
10 continue the good work Popu-
lists must stand together. Personal
JellOusies must be eliminated and all
efforts directed against the common
enemy. The principles of the Omaha
platform must be upheld and sus-
tanned. They are right and will pre-.
vail. By standing by them we shall
receive recruits from all other parties
and become strong and invincible.
The calamities predicted by the
founders and leaders of the party
have and are being verified every day.
Thousands who once looked upon
these warnings and predictions as
the rawlings of Missionaries now see that
we were and are right and they are
sure to come to US. A united front
should now be the battle-cry. Per-
sonal chickering's and petty jealousieS
must be discarded. The party has a
higher mission than merely securing
the offices, but without united action
and eternal vigilence We may secure
neither. Stand by your colors and
fight to win, and victory is certain to
crown your efforts.
