in any way to the raising of funds
to carry on the work of the Peoples
party, because they are composed Of
men of all pnrties. Neither can we
call upon them to arrange picnics,
political discussions, etc. We can
not ask them to see that our speak
ers are cared for and provided with
good audiences.
With no money upon which to
rely, your national committee, after
a thorough study of the situation,
has come to the conclusion that an
organization to perform this work is
an absolute necessity.
With this idea in view, the ma
tional committee evolved the Indus
trial Legion as the best plan to &C
complish this work, and now we
appeal to the state committees, and
urge them to take steps at once to
thoroughly organize our forces in
each state into the Industrial lie
gion. Enough states have already
moved in this matter to insure the
success of the organization. Three
hundred recruiting officers have
been commissioned and are at work
in nearly every state in the Union.
We have organized Legions in 81
states, and will soon be able to or
ganize several state Legions. Mrs.
Annie l.. Diggs, the national secre-
tary of the National Citizens In
dustrial Alliance, has joined us in a
request to each of the local assem-
blies of that organization to ex-
change their charters for the Indus
trial Legion charters. The officers
of the Legion have agreed to make
said exchange of charters free of
cost.
A cooperative pull all along the
line will, in few months, give us
the most formidable political organ
izations in the country.
Let every one take hold and help,
and when the next campaign opens,
we will have a working force of
which we will all be proud.

An Address.

GENTLEMEN
Time sufficient has elapsed for the
dust and din of the great of the
great political battle of 1862 to pass
over, and for us to study our sue
cesses and failures. Our successes
have been many and far-reaching,
and our failures few and insignifi-
cant. when we take into consldera-
ton the means at the disposal OF
those, both state and national, who
were trusted with the management
of the campaign. Most of the state
committees deserve the everlasting
gratitude of every refOrmer in the
land for the noble and self sacrificing
work performed The results are
wonderful, when we consider the
fact that many Of our state commit
tees had scarcely means enough at
their command to defray postage
bills. Very few of our men had
any experience in running political
campaigns, and all mistakes and
seeming negligence, caused by lack
of means, ETC., and can and should
be forgiven; but it has been found,
in some cases, that our people, thro
the influence Of candidates for office,
perhaps, have been too eager for
success. They have been tempted
to trade with the enemy and barter
principle for success (or, rather,
ofice), Your national committee
is on record as having opposed ev-
ery form of fusion with either OF the
old parties that has ever been pre-
sented. 1t has not changed it's mind,
but is more firmly of the opinion
than ever, that we should spurn every
offer of FUSION, make our fight upon
principle and in the middle of the
road, With but very few exceptions,
FUSION success has proven OF far
greater damage to our party at large
than defeat would have in straight
contest.
We hope that all our workers have
been greatly benefited by the expe-
riences through which we have
passed, and feel confident that our
forces all over the country are much
better prepared for effective work
than they have ever been in the
past.
Several states will hold elections
this year, and we desire that each OF
these be helped by the states that
have no election, to the end that our
success in those states may inspire
hope and courage in our people and
prepare them for determined fight
in the congressional elections m
1894.
The Democratic party is now rev.

CHICAGO, April 1S.-The most widely

trade of the world last night acknowl-
edged himself beaten, if not ruined.
In an interview, laboring under alb
normal excitement after an extraordi-
nary day on change, Edward Partridge
talked wildly of his losses and revenge,
declaring that his wife's fortune and
his real estate holdings would yet en-
able him to recoup himself and down
the enemies who, he admitted, had
pushed him to the wall in the great
May deal.

Partridge Historically, ''but Eli get
back at them. I don't know what I've
lost, but I have $4,000, 900 worth of real
estate and I'll bring it all up to the
front if necessary. My wife also has q
fortune and she will back me up. [

about it don't know anything. I
was banking on information my friends
