Steve Judson who met his Wellington in
Ed W. Taylor la the Twentieth senatorial
district Tuesday. is pretty good weather
prophet. and now he has this TO say Of
Democracy aud new political epoch, be-
ginning November 6, 1894:
I'VE have been drifting toward a conii-
tion of affairs wherein the East is arrayed
against the West and South. Tuesdays
election brings Us into decisive position
along that line. Hereafter, as never
before. the argument that it is
nonsense TO permit 90 per cent
OF the people To govern the other 60 Per
cent. will have force with the Democrats
and Populists. They will fuse. /. is their
only hope. They viii win two years
hence They may, very likely, elect
fusion president. and he will come from
the West or the South. Mark my predic-
tion."
Mr.. Judson's attention was called TO the
great number of Democrats who would
forthwith leave the Demo-Pop fusion
party;
Yes. all who are Republicans at heart
aud are travelling as yet under the CLOAK OF
Democracy will get out. of course. It's
high time they went"
He was asked IL it did not appear 10 his
prophetic vision that, with this accession
from the Democratic ranks, the Repub-
iicans would have pretty strong party.
Yes. yes; they will have pretty strong
party. but fusion will beat them. IL viii
be lively fight two years hence. 1t will
be redhot enough 10 satisfy the most ex-
acting"
Pioneer Judson was asked for the key OF
the coming combat.
THE fellows that run with the crowd
will decide H. There are enough OF them
to elect or defeat any party. They will 20
where there Is the most enthusiasm. aud
the fusion idea will capture them. They
are able 10 reason Why OD per cent of tho
people fused can defeat the Republican,
40 per cent. These people who run with
the crowd elected Cleveland, aud this wear
they have swung back into the Republican n
ranks. There never was a more complete
revolution Ia so short n time. Cleveland
went in with whoop, and now his pins
are Knocked from under him with .
whoop."
Tariff and the income tax:
"Tom Reed will be speaker, If he wants
the speakership. and be viii put NJ a
ways and means COMMITTEES that will not
monkey with the tariff The pext day
after election | saw tse Ledger called for
the enactment Of the Mckinney bill. That
Is foolish and out of the question. There
will be protection, of course. but the Re-
Mckinley bill. Cleveland Is sound on tbs
income tax aud the tariff for revenue but
he is a Republican ON money matters. We
want absolutely unlimited tree coinage OF
silver, free trade and the income tax, aud
upon those issues Will be IN good trim

Col. Chauncey W. Griggs also declares
himself for the income tax aud free trade.
but he refuses to make bedfeiiows OF tho
Pops"
This Is what the Populssts say:
There is enough left of the Democracy
for us 10 make raft. Wen make n rait
out of what il left, and paddle into power
all right in 1895. We were fooled thus trip.
principally by Republicans getting in on
our precinct clubs aud swelling the list.
This swe.ied our heads little, "a We ex-
yacted TO DO more than we really were
able TO accomplish last Tuesday. because
all the dummies who packed our pre-
cinet clubs voted the straight Republican
ticket"
By fusion. Mr.. Judson means that while
both parties are to nominate fali tickets,
an arrangement will be made 20 vote only
for certain fusion candidates, just as most
Pierce county Democrats. under secret
instructions. voted for John Turner, Pop,
for county treasurer.
