Turner, secretary OF the national com.

the following siatemouG
The result OF tho late national Dom
ooratic convention IL undoubtedly the
triumph OF populism. A large portion
Of the voters In the Populist parry la
the sou,h and West were originally
Democrats, and left the old party be-
cause " was dominated In every on
vention by the Eastern Democrats,
vino represented Wall street and tbs
nouopoilals Of New York anu New
England. IL became quite evident
10 every thinking man that ns New
YORK was allowed 10 make the platform
and name the candidate OF the Demo-
cratic party, the great plain people
would nave no show, ana that thvir
rights anu Wishes would always DO
ignlfud.
Believing this, the thinking men
among tho rank and flo determined TO
Quit tho old party and organize a new
iarty. Hence tue existence OF the
Popuilst larry.
iho Democratic party has pufgod
itself, feofsnni1ed itself and come out
for true Democracy, ana TO all inlonts
anu purposes substituted the POpuiist
platform for the Old platforms that tho
psrty has been using for yeats, anu
which Wero dictated and iOisted upon

All POpulists IN these United states
