II was wild night. Torrents of blind
Missouri river, swollen far above its sandy
bars, fretted against the restraining banks
and roared hungrily.
A light cleaned from an upper window
at Black bird mission, and the sweet face
of Elsa Morris looked anxiously forth.
"It is dreadful storm" she said, shiv-
ering. "Surely Mordaunt and Harry will
not attempt to push on without the stage"
Superintendent Morris had been laid up
for three days. II seemed as IL he could not
stay in the house tonight when his brave
son Harry and Mordaunt Steele the indus
trial trader, might be in deadly peril.
"Heaven grant they may not attempt
the road round Horseshoe cliffs" he ex-

pleaded Elsa.
"Well, daughter, have your way. Ride
over TO the agency and get Rosalie to 40
company you. Her brother, Grey Eagle,
is the leader. She may have influence with
him"
A blush crept over Elsa's pearly skin.
Grey Eagle, French half breed, was In
love with her, and therefore his hatred Of
Mordaunt was intense.
When she reached the agency, however,
she found Rosalie i'll, and she was forced
to press on alone.
When she had reached the little bridge
which spanned the dancing waters of Big
Blackbird creek, she drew rein and looked
around her.
Then a stifled scream rose to her lips as
she saw form rise out of the shadows
and brown hand grasp the bride.
She recognized Gray Eagle at a glance,
and forcing her voice to be steady spoke
calmly;
"Kashwa, is 1t your l am glad, for you
will see me safely to Decatur. l have

FNNSN N'AA~A VSeS
in our convention. This 10 the law by
which as party we are distinguished
from the old parties, as much az our de-
mands for reforms in finance, transpoF.
tation and land. Rigidly adhere to this
fund smental law and any corrupt dicker
with the old party machines will be i'm
possible, and fusion will become back
number.
Under the operation Of this Omaha
ordinance our boasted government Of the
people, by the people, and for the peo-
pie becomes a problem solved. We
challenge honest, fair. minded people
every where to show any good reasons
why we as q reform party should not Rd-
here to this fundamental law in every
call, for every caucus, and every COnven-
ton, now, and for all time TO come. Let
it be distinctly understood that the Peo-
ple's party is irrevocsbly party Of nom
offce-holders, and thus prevent the
associated monopolies from getting con-
trol OF this party, 40 they have of every
party that has come into power since
the adoption Of the federal constitution.
Our only hope for the success Of the re-
forms demanded by the interests of the
monopoly burdened people depends upon
our being able to convince the msjority
Of the people, not only that our prinCi-
pies are right, but that We, the masses
Of pon-office. holders, control the Peoples
party and will see to it that these prin-
ciples are enacted into law and admins
tered IN the interests Of the people.
We earnestly urge upon every true
Populist in the state the Importance OF
being alert to the exigenCies Of the situa-
ton. If we are true to ourselves, and to
the fundamental principle Of party gov
ernm ent which we have adopted, victory
is certain. But if We permit our con-
vention to be controlled by official dick
ering or the campaign to be controlled
by bosses, we invite defeat. No earnest
worker in favor Of the reforms demanded
by the interests Of the people must bs
boycotted or laid on the shelf by a Csbol
Of sslfseeking managers. Our campaign
must be a peoples campaign, and our
party a peoples party, if we would inspire
the people with that enthusiasm that is
essential to success. This is the busi-
ness of every true Populist, and should
any committee Of the party fail in any
respect to make such campaign, it is
the imperative duty Of the rank and fle
to see that it is done, and done we'll.
This is no time for bossism. The people
must be aroused and to do 80 the people
must not hesitate to take the initiative.
Home, family and country depends upon
our being able to arouse an enthusiasm
in favor Of the publication Of politics
and of the institutions which are based
thereon.
To this end, in order to secure united
action, we solicit correspondence from
all who realize the importance Of the in
terests at stake. We ask the co-operR-
tion Of true Populists throughout the
state. Let us hear from you. There is
no time to be lost. A mutual under
standing among the earnest workers is q
necessity at the present juncture. Ad-
