THE Republicans are finding
much fault with the Democrats be-
cause they nominated Bryan after
he bad repeatedly stated he would
leave the Democratic party if it did
not declare for free coinage. This
may be grevious thing for Bryan
to have done, but how about the
fact that Mckinley said about the
same thing if his party did declare
for free coinage, The only differ
ence between the men is that Bryan
had sense enough to declare for the
right, while Mckinley was led
around by the nose by Hanna and
his coterie of gold bug friends of
this country and England.

ALABAMA has elected silver men
this week against the fusion ticket
Of the Republicans and Populists.
The Pops. are mad, claim fraud, and
threaten to fuse again and defeat
Bryan. This is a terrific threat
when it is considered that the
Democrats have just defeated a
fusion ticket by about 10000 ma
jority. Will the Populists please
tell US what they fused with the
Repubs. for? The principles Of
those two parties are about as dis
similar as can be imagined.

AS USUAL, when a woman is in
trouble, woman's organization in
San Francisco has taken up the
cudgel against Mrs. Craven, who
declares she is the widow of the late
JAS. G. Fair. Mrs. Craven, or Fair,
has taught in one of the San Fran
cisco schools for years, and given
satisfaction it is understood, but
now that she is in trouble women
are the first to try and drive her
from the school.

WHAT spectacle it is to see a
man like Hanna going around as
manager for presidential nominee,
the same as a Snowman or manager
of some prize fighter. What would

would be peddled out to the highest

THE course Of the New York

of Bryan and Sewall which created
considerable discussion as to the
expediency and wisdom of such a
step, has resulted in gain of about

HE San rTanclSCo IOot udPpcH-
ed to notice an article in the TIMES
that referred to it as gold bug
sheet. 1t states that it is not a
gold bug, that it favors bimetallism
when it can be obtained by inter
national agreement, which it knows
can never be accomplished without
the consent Of England, and that
consent can never be obtained, at
least not for years to come. In this
way the Post proclaims its un-Amer-
icanism. What has been and is
good for England has not been and
is not good for America, and why
a foreign nation should control our
financial affairs is beyond us. The
Post further says:
s'Under Is to ratio every man
who owns dollars worth of gold
or who holds gold contract, would
double his money. The stockhold-
ers OF every bank whose obligations
are payable in gold, but who could
pay its depositors in silver would
double their own money. Every
capitalist who can charge gold
prices for his wares and pay his
men in silver would double his
money"
Can any thinking man believe
that statement? Is it possible that
the gold owners and bankers of this
country are SO philantropically in
clined towards the laboring classes
that they are fighting, teeth and
toenail, the bringing about of
measure that is going to double
their money? Boshl
Further the Post says:
"Nor is Is to silver Democracy"
The Post has soft place in its
heart for the genuine Democracy.
No genuine Democratic Convention
ever could resolve in favor of pay
ing the nations gold debts in silver"
Not Democracy! Read the his
tory of the country and see what
the forefathers of that party had to
say about it--what all true Ameri-
can statesman had to say-and you
will find that the Democracy of the
past twelve years has drifted so far
from the old line that it is nothing
but plutocracy-a government of,
by and for the wealthy men of the
country.
So far as Senator Stewart is con-
cerned, he did vote for the demone-
tization act of 1878. Better men
than Stewart-and they are few
have made mistakes. But this mat
ter has been so fully explained that
any Nevada school boy understands
it. The grand old man has made a
brave effort to undo that work, and
is still fighting on that line, with
the satisfaction of knowing that at
last'victory is nearly in sight.
One thing more, Mr.. Post; if it is
wrong to, return to free coinage of
silver at Is to / ratio because it
would give the advantage to the
creditor class, is it not fact that a
crime was committed by the demon
etization of silver in 1878? The
country is in a bad way financially
from the effects of this crime, we
claim. High protection and low
protection have been tried and the
depression grows worse. Give us a
trial of two or three years of free
coinage and if the country don't
revive and prosperity take the place
of poverty we will agree to ride in
the golden chariot along with you,
not only until England is ready to
give Us free coinage, but until Ga
briel blows his horn.

believed that our nomination was pos

we should have used our place to
bring about the election of Mr.. Bryan,
by all honorable means in our power;
for we should have we'll known that
the Peoples Party alone could not
elect the president.
But there were too many Office-seek-
ers in the convention, and their con-
certed bowls swept sensible people of
their feet; and, the result is that the
Peoples Party sits today in sack-cloth
and ashes; and must laboriously pro-
coed, during four years more, to re-
construct it's shattered web, torn to
flinders by the hoofs Of rampant jack
asses.
And in those four years how many
millions of honest and industrious
farmers will be driven out Of their
homes; how many millions of honest
workngmen will be reduced per-
chance to their last crust? The evil
effects of misdirected councils are in
calculable; and one man can do more

the vice presidency, and the other
would have taken the presidency:
while the cabinet and the other prin-
ciple offices could have been divided
on similar equitable basis. This
would probably have resulted in the
triumphant election Of Mr.. Bryan and
Mr.. Watson; and it would have left the
Peoples Party harmonious and
united, instead Of being as 1t Is to-day
torn into contending and embittered
factions. We could have held even
the advanced labor vote in line for
our party; while the Democrats would
not have had to encounter the fierce
pref udice which exists among many of
their own people against the Popu-
lists. The longest way round would
have been the shortest way home"
We could have co-operated just as we'll
with the Democrats, in this state, on
that basis as on the one which was
adopted. Indeed it did not take us
half an hour to agree upon the divis-
sofa, between the two parties;-there
was not word of objection on either
side. But, as il was, we had to en-
counter the odium which attached to
the "fusion," in some quarters, and
which cost US thousands of votes.
With our own candidates for preSi-
dent and vice presdnt we should have
remained distinctiyely separate par
ty, and could have made our battle
without encounterng any of the pre-
judices which exist against the
Democracy; and the Democracy could
have their fight without offend
ing that part Of their own member
snip which regardsta Populist as little
better than the devil. And today the
Peoples Party would be a united and
powerful army, instead of being de-
moralized mob, dragging it's dirty
skirts through the mire of defeat.
The above is the plan which we adj
vocated at St. Louis. All the Popu-
lists of the South were in favor of it.
The Georgia delegation put forth a
printed circuldr,' embracing these
ideas, and headed it 1.-THE Georgia
PLAN" and distributed it throughout
the convention. But S. NJ. Owen. who
has an intense apd burning conviction
that God designed, him to lead man
kind, feared that the Democrats of
Hennepin county would not endorse
him for Congress-; and was also dread
fully afraid that if such a plan was
adopted the editor of THE REPREEN-
TATIvE might be nominated for presi-
dent.
We were not a candidate for that
