IL Is only r. question Of what our majority
will be. The Populsts are making
vigorous fight. / believe they base their
expectation Of success on a hope or FORM
ing some kind OF coalition with the Repub-
leans. but l do not believe this VIII be
accomplished. The Republicans do not
like the POpuiists any better than the
Democrats Ike them. The Populists have
dragged the silver question into the cam
paign. but while we answer their arsu-
ments we maintain that the system OF
taxation and the tariff are the things
which require revision to relieve the coun-
try. There are 10 paramount state Issues
which are receiving attention in the cam
