UNION AMONG REFORM YOTERs

| "A BAOob 0oSA 30 OOAAS Sb4A nhOAb 1AO
Importance of reform voters uniting
their forces and making common cause
against common enemy, and with
this disposition the ADVOCATE is in
full accord. With a united vote, even
If no recruits had been secured since
1892, the showing would be fOrmid-
able. But with our people divided
the effect will hardly be worth con-
Sidering in the general reckoning.
How shall we get togetherP What
must be sacrificed, If anything, and
who shall conCede the mostP These
are leading questions, and on the
answer to them much depends. Let
US reason together.
Beginning with those voters whose
only rsllying cry is silver, we Bnd them
constituting q very large body of peo-
pie when considered as q whole. But
they are not organized as q party; they
have no distinct and separate organi-
Zstion. They are mostly Republicans
and Democrats striving to control
their party nominations. No definite
calculations can be made as to whether
these silver people will ever come TO-
gether among themselves, nor is 1t at
all certain what will be their policy if
they do unite. There is nothing on
which they are now agreed ex-
cept the single question Of restoring
silver coinage, and on that, as a sole
issue, no other reform body of voters
would be willing to unite with them
This latter fact leaves the future 80
uncertain with respect to the probable
course of silver forces that the rest of
us must act without them or we must
await their pleasure.
Taking the most hopeful VieW-thst
there will be a secession Of silver men
from the old partleS-hOw many, prob
ably, will there be, and what proper
ton of them will be willing to join
another psrtyP TO put the number at
a million Is liberal. That would be
about one-hslf the present member
ship Of the POpuliSt party.
AS to other parties, the Prohibition
lists are In the lead In membership.
Their recorded vote in 1892 was 1884,
066, and their voting strength has not
materially increased. The Social La
Dor party cast 22,6l3 votes that were
reported In 1892. The vote of that
party will probably be increased to
100000. Single Takers are increasing
fast, but they are not likely to act as a
separate national party this year.
They will run local tickets, but will
hardly 60 beyond that as separate
body. And because the Social Labor
party 10 not organized in many States,
It's membership will likely content
themselves with q showing of their
numbers In local contests where their
vote Is large and organized.
The situation may be safely stated
this way: There will be only three
great parties In the field this year
Republican, Democrat and Populist,
The other national party is the Prohi-
bitionist, but Its vote will hardly ex-
ceed 100000. Allowing 100000
votes among the retiring silver men
who will unite with other parties, and
putting all the -Prohlbitionists,
