THE LANDSLIDE.
IT'S COMING! COMING! COMING!
Judge Lyman Trumbull a Populist.

JuuSS Lyman 1rumbull a POpuliSt.
Eugene Debs. spoke in Chicago. Oct,
3D., and said, in part:
1T is quite evident that the spirit
or reform is abroad in the world. I
was In Milwaukee few days ago and
addressed a large meeting of the Peo-
PIES Party. | never saw anything
ike tne enthusiasm manifested
among the people. hear from my
old home in Terre Haute that there
is compile landslide from both the
Democratic and Republican parties to
the Populists. And SO it is all over
the land. The people are aroused and
are demanding a change. One of the
most encouraging things to me in this
campaign is the interest being taken
IN 1T by the women. For myself
want to see the time when my mother
and my wife shall have every right to
which [ am entitled under the law,
and the additional right to be protect
ed besides.
In my judgment there is no choice
between the two old parties. Both
are dominated by the money power.
1t is easy enough for a Havemeyer to
get a respectful hearing before our
representatives in Congress, but when
the scanctlfied grass surrounding the
houses of Congress and the people
make vain appeal to be heard they are
arrested and put into prison."
The great man, and friend of Abra-
ham Lincoln, Ex-United States Sena-
tor, Lyman Trumbull, of Illinois, has
joined the Peoples Party, and speaks
next Saturday night at Populist
meeting in Chicago. The Times of
that city, of Oct. 4th, says:
"Judge Trumbull has always had a
high reputation as close student Of
economic questions as we'll as an au-
thOrltY on the law, and though it is
not claimed that he has formally es-
pouSed the cause of the Peoples party
it's leaders claim that the judges
views on many of the important ques-
tions Of the day are heartily in accord
with those which they are advocating.
The fact that he is willing to discuss
these question from their platform
shows, they claim, that he is in SYM
pathy With the reform movement, and
that this fact of itself will attract
many people to the party who have
never given it a thought before
Every ticket for the meeting had Of
there was a tremendous clamOr for
more. So much interest has been TAX
en- in these downtown meetings that
the central committee is making
great eXertiOnS to have as many of
them as possible during the cam
paign.
In connection with the meeting
Oct. 20, arrangements are being made
for a. great torchlight parade and de-
monstration. 1t is proposed to have a
brigade of cavalry in this parade. w.
Ii. Harvey OF the Coin Publishing
company has charge Of this feature Of
the demonstration and reports that
he has three troops of cavalry forming
for the OCCASION.
There is no question that tremen-
dous amount of enthusiasm has
sprung up all over the city during the
last week in the interest of the Peo-
pies Party. John Z. White, candi-
date for Congress in the Second dis
trict, measured up the situation yes
terday by saying: "There are thous-
ands of voters in Cook count ty standing
on the fence in doubt which way to
jump, and l want to say that the peo-
Peoples party band wagon is drawing
up little nearer to them every day.
When they do jump we are going to
catch them"
The Chicago Times says:
"The intelligence that Judge Lyman
Trumbull will take a prominent part
in the Populists mass meeting Satur-
day night at which Henry d. Lloyd
and G. S. Darrow are to speak may
open the eyes of some people hitherto
blind to the progress which the Peo-
ple's party is makingin Chicago. Both
by the high character and the greater
number Of it's candidates and by the
sincerity, enthusiasm, and numbers
of it's supporters the movement for
radical reform in politics is putting
its enemies to con fusion"
