The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1894-10-31

emit senator, has been nOmintted and is
certain of election. He is a strong
man. His colleague for the House.
Mr.. Meilickc, is one of the ablest
Populists in the state. He will be In
the next House beyond question. In
the Murray, Mobiles and Pipestone dis
trict. Hon. James G. Marshall, has
been put in the field for Senator, and
Messrs. Jaycox, Norwood and Knight
for the House. They are all able men
and popular and their election is GER
tain.
Everywhere we hear of great gains
for the Peoples Party. The under
current is all in our favor, and it is
sweeping forward like a mighty tidal
wave. We heard Of a Republican
township in Martin county where
single copy of THE Seven Financial
Conspiracics," was passed from house
to house and converted the whole
township to Popu,ism! Ny meetings
have been simply immense. In not
one, except a day meeting at Dexter,
was the hall large enough to hold the
crowd. At Pipestone, Oct. %, the
house was so packed that the owner
sent up word for the people not to ap-
plaud with their feet, lest they bring
down the building The stairway was
packed and the crowd overlooked over
the pavement and the street.
Any one who reads the daily papers
of St. Paul and Minneapolis will see
that great terror has fallen on the
Republican party. The Republican can
ross of the state sho,oed that O,pen had co.
900 majority ,chile the Democratic canrass
gaze him 1900 That which we have
foretold for years as inevitable, has
come to pass:-the fusing of the aristo-
cratic, corporation Democrats with
the Republicans, because they see
that the rank and file of their party is
going over bodily to the Peoples Par
ty. In the Minneapolis Tribune Of
Oct. a, we find this very significant
article:
The ladelphia Times, an indie
pendent Democratic paper edited by
Col. McCluer, says:
''The next house of congress is not
likely to be Democratic, but it may
not be Republican. Ii it shall not be
Democratic, we sincerely hope that
it may be absolutely Republican; but
if, as is possible, the P0pulists shall
hold the balance Of power. the pa
triotic men of both parties should
unite and organize the house on an
equitable basis, giving the party the
speaker that has the plurality. and
thus organizing it without obligation
to, or consideration for, the Populist
element of the country. Its doctrine
is revolutionary. It's success means
destruction Of public and private prop
erty, the overthrow of social order,
contempt for law, and its every high
way leads to anarchy. PopuliSm is
destruction. Let every honest man
make common cause for its over
throw"
The Tribune adds:
''The best way to settle this matter
without entangling alliances is for the
business men among the Democrats,
who realize the danger of allowing
the Populists to hold the balance of
powerin congress, to vote the Repub-
lican ticket straight. In this way,
and this ,cay only, can they make sure
of saving the country from the de-
struction of PopuliSm."
And we ask our readers to carefully
peruse the article from the Daily
Times of Minneapolis. (DemOcratic)
Oct. "a, published elsewhere. Its adj
missions are wonderfully significant.
We want our readers to show this
article to their Democratic neighbors
SO that they may perceive that the in
tention of the aristocratic Democrats
is to hold 1.-THE plain people" of that
party in line for Becker, and keep
them from stampeding to Owen and
the Populist ticket, while they vote di-
rectly for Nelson and leave Becker in
the lurch. 1t is shame to play such
a game on honest Democrats to secure
a Republican victory in the interest
of Plutocracy. The remedy is for the
honest Democrats, who believe in the
principles Of Jefferson and Jackson, to
go over bodily, on election day to the
Peoples Party, and teach these trick
sters a lesson, who steal the livery of
Democracy to serve the devil of Re-
publicanism in.
In the meantime our. friends, who
have felt squeamish about co.operat-
ing with the rank and file of the hon
est Democracy. who believe just as
we do on all essential points, can see
how the plutocratic Democrats and
the plutocratic Republicans are get
ting ready to unite to destroy the
Peoples Party. In this battle he that
is not against us is with US. Don't
let your natural prejudices be played
on by the enemy, to your own undo
ing We arc going to carry the state-wE
MUST CARRY IT! Drop all dssensions
md march forward to victory. And
after victory comes governmental reform
OF abuses. That is what we are after.
That is the only excuse for the exist
ence of our party. Victory and Reform!
Let that be your watchwords.
