WHY DO THE poPULIsrs RAGE

one OF the most curious things OF the
many curious Things now happening is the
bitter anupathy Of the Popunsts IN some
parts Of the country to the chicago party

Heaven knows the Chicago Convention
was Populist Convention enough for any
one unless. indeed the Populist revolts
at its plank declaring Ior anarchy. Inc
Populist has always been Socialist, but
he has 50 FAR drawn the line at anar-
chy.
But whatever the cause may pe, the
antipathy exists. Harry Tracy the Popu-
list leader OF Texas telegrapned last

MIR. BRyAN,s CABINET.

The following has been suggested as
Mr.. Bryan's Cabinet. in case he is elected.
by the Washington Post:
Secretary Of State-Mrs. Mary Eliza

Secretary of the Treasury-Ilenry NJ.
Teller. of Colorado.
Secretary Of the Navy-Jerry Simpson.
Of Kansas.
Secretary of War-"Bloody Brides"
Waite, OF Color. ado, or General J. 5.

Attornc. -General-Eugene V. Debs. OF
Illinois.
Postmaster-Gencral-W William =. ST..
John. of New York.
Secretary of Agd 'ulture-Ben Tillman,
Of South Carolina
We don't believe this would be Mr.
Bryan's Cahiret. II the country should be
so unfortunate as TO have one Of his
appointment, but there is an appropriaic-
ness in each name that is founded in
the eternal fitness OF things. il has
not heretofore been thought Democratic
doctrine that the ladies' should be given
high political prererment. but the new
Democracy goes out boldly in quest OF
aid wherever aid can be found. and as
Mrs. Lease IS TO be one of its great
apostles. her claims TO a seat I'm the
Cabinet must receive due consideration.
As for all the others named, their
adaptabiliiy for the places suggested is
too apparent for comment. except that
Mr.. 81. John ought clearly to have been

athy 20 the Chicago party mark. we
do not say Democratic parity. we can
not understand. The Chicago platform
IS a populist platform. and IT'S nominee Is
a popuiist pure and simple Why. then.
should Populists have so much difficulty
In swallowing Bryan and accepting the
platform? We can imagine but one rea-
son. which IS that the Chicago party In
vailed the PopuIist domains. captured and
appropriated all the Populist ammunition.
and showed an intention 20 do business
thereafter at the ola stand OF the Popu-
lists. who were 10 be pushed aside. and
that the old Populists are kicking against
The move as one which ends them and
engulfs them in the Chicago party for
all time. Popuilsts. who have been max
ing q clamor for ten years with the hope
that Office would come to them after a
while. have no idea OF seeing themselves
put to one side. while new and fresh
Populists come in and take possession OF
the offices by virtue Of the old issues that
they invented and have been so long
preaching.
1t looks as though Mr.. Bryan were
promised some trouble from the old Pop
ulsts. and that he will have to place MS
chief reliance upon his new Populist fol-
lowing Of the Chicago type.
