they keep silent, for vote in the nses
alive would have the effect OF unssas-
ing Joy. and that won't do, ct least q
present. When the Populists don't
vote then the quorum vanishes. When
importuned by the Democrats to vote.
the Populists say We have three con-
testants before the House, each one
has been illegally and openly counted
out. In fixing mp the Committee on
Elections you packed 1t against u.
There are seventeen members on that
committee. and you would not give ~
one. When OFerrall resigned wo
sent . written communication to the
speaker and askt to have o represent
alive and We were refused. You will
not even consider our cases. The COM
| mittee will not hear the evidence. In
the cases of Tom Watson and Goode,
We can prove that they both received
overwhelming majorities and YOU won't
set day to take up the cases. You
won't even make an adverse report
upon them, SO they can come before
the, House. When you will agree to
be fair. when you agree to make q re-
port on the Populist cases. then We
| may vote to make quorum, but not
before. for rs between Republicans and
| Democrats, it makes no difference to
us who holds the seats.
Twice during this session the DEM
| ocrats have been forced to do Justice
! by just this course taken by the Popu-
| lists. Neither the income tax or
seigniorage bill would ever have been
enacted by the House had not the ten
Populists forced it by refusing to help
make o quorum, and we may get Tom
Watson back by the same tactics.
Keynote to the Campaign.
Chairman Taubeneck has sent out
the following address to the people Of
the United States:
The President In ve'oinE tho eignioragc
bill has brushed every pretence Of the old
parties aside. The Apache warfare Of cum

The agent OF the gold combination pro-

him. whether Republicans or Democrats.
must boldly ASSERT their loyalty to tho
money kings. In the future the people can

The ouly compromise offered in the veto
