HUI Y CcI tstll tudt tuC OPuiiSe PoA :
ty is not "dead," as declared by
some of the reckless organs of the
old parties.
While making these assertions
the organs magnanimously ignore
the evidences of continued life as
manifested in the election returns.
This is the kind of information
which they don't want to dispense
to their readers, because it might
destroy a delusion.
The POpulists, however, seem to
have been attending strictly to bu-
siness all along the line at the
spring elections and at every poll
ing place made their influence felt
either by victory or a close con-
test.
In the list of victories achieved

The returns in that State show the
following result:
