must stand or fall on the history it was
about to make in it's first effort at legis-

Populist Of ability who thoroughly real
lied the situation. He sprang to the
front at once and became the StoneWRll
jackson Of his side Of the Senate. He
is fighter of tact and courage and
debater OF great resources considering
the fact that he never before had any
experience. He could talk on every
question, but never rose from his seat
until the battle became hot, ard then
he would stay on his feet until he had
the last word. O'Bryan Of this city was
fond Of crossing swords with him, but
If his cause was not an excellent one
Dennison would chew him up. y
At the time of his appointment there
was great deal said about his inCom-
potency to flll the place, but after
decision or two all that talk hushed and
no one is denying to-day but what MIR.
Dennison is very fair Judge. Mr..

strates the fact that he is a man OF wide

Until 1890 he was a Republican, but
at that time he identified himself with
the new party, and his tireless work and
energy in the cause soon pushed him to
the front as leader He was nominated
for State Senator in 1892, and was
elected over T. B. Murdock by a
plurality Of 800. Up to that time he had
never held an office. In 1895 Governor
Morrill, named him as one Of the Populist
Judges OF the Court Of Appeals. lie
then resigned the office Of Senator aud
took up his judicial work. His accord
in the Senate and on the bench was very
satisfactory to his political friends and
was such as as to command the respect
of his opponents.
The manner in which he is regarded
by the opposition is we'll shown by the
following from the Wichita Eagle (Rep.),
which is edited by q brother Of the man
whom he defeated for the Senate:
"He is a gentleman ofstrong physique,
Of strong mind, Of strong political con-

DEMOCRATIC STRENGTH.

DEMOCRATIC STRENGTH.
"Thus the aggregate Democratic vote
in these twenty-nine States was, at the
last election, 2,O46,l9O, and the Populist
vote was l,l52327. Since the silver
Republicans bolted their National con-
vention, and a cooperation between
them and the Populists has been agreed
upon, wa may at least add 100000 silver
Republicans to the Populist columns,
which would make the combined
strength Of the Populists and silver
Republicans not less than 1,652,327. II
we add to this number the increase in
the Populist vote since 1894, it will, on
conservative estimate, make total OF
not less than 2OOO, 600. votes in these
twenty-nine States Of the South and
West. Again, not less than 100000
Democrats have joined the Populists
since 1894, which number deducted from
the 100000 Democrats, leaves them
p, SAG, ,18O votes. Again, If we deduct the
gold standard element in the Democratic
party, which is not less than 20 per cent,
and who will vote with the Republicans
or stay at home, it reduces the true
aggregate Democratic vote in the twenty
nine States named to not more than
100000. This gives the aggregate
Populist and silver Republican vote in
these States over 100000 majority.
"Thus the votes the silver Democrats
are able to bring to the silver ticket in
the States necessary to elect President
are only l, 100000, while the silver Re
publicans can bring 100000 and the
Populists solid 100000.
PoPULIsT STRENGTH.
"That the Populist vote since 1894 has
materially increased is proven by the
election in Mississippi in 1895 and in
Oregon in 1896.
''In 1894 the Peoples party polled l2,-
141 votes in Mississippi for Congressman,
and in 1895 17,466, an increase OF about
30 Der cent. In Oregon, the Peoples
party in 1894 polled 1896 for Congress
men, and in 1896 81, 52l, an inrcease Of
nearly 35 per cent, in spite of the fact
that the Democrats in both States made
an unequiVocal declaration for silver at
16to1. The election returns OF these
two States prove that the Populists
throughout the South and West have in
creased since 1894 not less than from
300, 900 to 100000 votes.
"Thst the gold standard element in
the Democratic party will control fully

CE1G5'
THE following is q special from Chicago to
the st. Louis Globe Democrat Of July 81
Populists, the boiling Republicans and
the National Silver party men are
determined to give the Democrats all
the chance in the world to know that
they cannot win at the polls unless they
conciliate the free silver men outside OF
their party. They have collaborated in
compiling from best statistical authority
showing the strength of the anti-Demo
crat silver men in the twenty-nine States
south of the Potomac and west Of the
Mississippi, territory which gives 23l
Electoral votes-7 more than enough to
elect the President. This statement has
been very carefully prepared and will be
presented to the Democrats Monday,
with the view of influencing their action
in regard to the nominations. Chairman
Mott Of the National committee Of the
Silver party said to-day that this state
ment was accurate, and was declaration
in the interest of silver made by the
non-partisan silver people.
THE ADDRESS.
1t is the joint product Of all silver
men who believe in the nomination Of
Senator Teller, and is as follows:
"The remonetization Of silver in the
United States depends upon uniting the
South and West. The twenty-nine
States west of the Mississippi and south
Of the Ohio and Potomac rivers have
231 Electors, seven more than necessary
to elect q President If the voters who
favor free coinage of silver in these
States can be united on the same Electors
they can elect the next President. In
the past they have been divided into
three hostile camps-Populists, silver
Republicans and silver Democrats. Since
the silver Republicans bolted their
National convention and will cooperate
with the Populists, thisyet leaves two op-
posing silver forces-Populists and silver
Democrats. Thus, in order to unite all
the silver forces it is necessary for the
Populists and the silver Democrats to
cooperate in the coming campaign,
The silver Democrats have much to say
about their ability to win the contest FOL
silver, but an analysis Of the vote Of 1894
and 1895 proves that that party is fal
in the minority in these twenty-nine
States which they must have in order
to elect the next President.
