| There Is now no populIst party OF Texas
except an adjunct OF the republican par-
~, owned as completely by ,hs ,epublic-
an bosses as they own he horses 10 ,heir
carriages used for similar service.
Faust's bargain has been repeated.
Ihe pop pienary committee. which has
assumed to hold the title IN fee simple

divided between republicans. porullsts
and gold standard democrats.
1t Is almost incredible that any set OF
politicians could have been found DIN
Icxas with tho audaciy TO conceive and
attempt to execute bargain involving
so much that Is repulslve 10 The people

sidcrntion of all their trafncking Is tho 4
expectation that II will make Mckinney i
