if the friends of the eX-treasurer have

The tone and spirit of Hon. w. P.
Ratliff's paper, the Alliance Vindica-
tor, since the late unfortunate TRACE
dy has been admirable indeed, and
might well be emulated by some of its
Democratic contemporaries. There is
not hint of unseemly exultation or
bombastic defiance-not tremor or
the slightest sign of faltering in the
defense and aggressive championship
of the principles it believes to be
right.

Pioneer Press, ID: The best work ac-
complished on Tuesday was the final
overthrow and destruction OF the Peo-
pies party. 1t was thoroughly accom-
ulished. The vain hopes and prognostl-
cations of that cheerful aggregation
have gone glimmering. They were 60
ing. They were going to retain control
of Colorado, Kansas and North Dakota;
and capture South Dakota, Nebraska
and Minnesota. They have lost every
state where they had a footing, and have
gained nothing. They were going to
hold the balance Of power 10 the X
congress. The latest estimate OF the
next house gives six populist members;
though where even those SIX are to come
from il a mystery. The peoples party
is routed, horse foot and dragons. Lit
will not henceforth play any more i'm
portant part in the politics OF this coun-
try than the old greenbackers OF the
know-nothings. 1t is dead, though its
hopeful leaders will not lind out the fact
for some time yet.
This is no surprise to US. The Pioneer
Press pointed out months ago the fact
that the peoples party had undoubted'
lyreached it's high-water mark in the
campaign of 1892. 1t was plainly trace
able In the history of the party up to
and since that date. It's rise, decline
and fall we're written in characters Thu I
any one who has watched the course OF
political events could not fail to under
stand. 1t was bound to go the way OF
The prohibition party, the Granger party
the greenback party, of all the parties
thai form themselves about a single Is
sue and That a false one. From the
moment that 1t became the prey OF The
discarded and stranded relic when bott
the other parties had cast out, it's de
cadence was only a question OF time.
The peoples party will now die 1
quick and painless death. AS it's lead
ers are nearly all men who are animated
solely by the hope of personal advance
ment, they will have little use for it nov
that it is obviously on the wane Wha
they want is office, and no defeat. Whel
the new organization was growing dali,
and promised TO come into power il
several states, they hurried TO its side
They will be among the missing nov
that hard work and little pelf is the POP
ulist's need. So perishes the most dis
creditable, evil and malignant politics
organization that ever sought to wor
up the material of anarchy into a revolt
tionary army, and to overthrow right
liberties, governments, for the establish
ment of a new despotism, based on th
advancement of the untittest and III
