Fusion and a Bad Cause.

fishes some interesting figures on the popu-
lar vote for president
The total vote was about Is, 579, 63S, a
gain over 1892 of !, 100000
McKuley's gain over Harrison was l.
S74,4OS.
Democrats and populists polled 376,394
fewer votes in 1896 than they did in 1852.
Four years ago Cleveland's plurality was
4sO,s1O. This year McKinley's plurality is
about $50 900
The sound money majority, that is the
united vote of Mckinley and Palmer, is
96s, 534.
This shows the weakness of fusion in a
bad cause.
1t also shows that the American people
can be depended on to settle all great and
vital public questions in the right way.
And yet there are those among the pop
ulist who. cannot understand that defeat
was overwhelming.
