AS the returns from the wagon train
come in it becomes all the more certain
that the Populist party is not dead"
as declared by some of the reckless or
gans of the old parties.
While making these assertions the
organs magnanimously ignore the evil
dences 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, be-
cause it might destroy delusion.
The Populists, however, seem to have
been attending strictly to business all
along the line at the spring elections
and at every polling place made their
influence felt either by victory or a
close contest
