SENATOR BUTLER'S VIEWS.

Senator Butler, of North Carolina, is
very hopeful of the success of silver in
1900; but does not seem to think that
Democracy as Il regular organization will
play rs prominent n part in the election
of a President of the United States then
! rs it did in the campaign just closed.
Although he does not say so in so many
words his views on the situation, rs eX-
pressed in IL recent interview ut Washing
ton just prior to his departure for home
ON his part that the Peoples party will
he the nucleus around which all the Gle.
mcnts of opposition to gold ,..monometal-
lism will cluster in the campaign'of 1900
\ contest he believes will ut once begin
between the gold and silver Democrats.
and, if the former cannot capture the
party machinery, they will, he. believes,
20 TO the Republican party. On the other
hand. if the silver men should he beaten
they will 20 to the Peoples party, and,
in either event, he says the Democratic
party is bigger to-day than it will be ut
the opening of the next Presidential
campaign. The hope of rcdeeming the
country from Clevelandism and '.'AIcKin-
lcyism, which he says are synonymous.
lies largely with the rank and file of the
Republican party, who before 1900 will
Join hands with the Peoples party.
These, with the addition of..the real and
true Democrats, will clearly make IL ma
jority of the voters of the United States,
and rs Il consequence control the next
Presidential election; but, in Senator
Buffers opinion every good citizen who
wants to see good government restored,
should realize now that these forces can
never he aligned and led to victory-under
the banner OF either the old parties.
This means that in the new ali snment
senator Butler would be,far.to the. front
as one of the ablcst mensin..t the People,
parry. MI of this speculation'on' his part
seems rather premature; but it.is-evident,
from The trend of political events, that
the campaign Just closed is not believed
by the politicians of the country to have
determined anything Of Importance and
that all parties are looking,.sfo forward to
the next as the one which will settle per-
manently the currency question.
