My Dear Sir: From a sense Of
patriotic duty, and in strict accordance
with consistent principles of Populist
sentiment expressed and asseverated,
! write to urge you to cease your op-
position to fusion where the same is
generally believed to be of advantage
to the immediate success of the great
cause of financial reform, to which you
have 50 far so greatly contributed.
Fusion on this great national ques-
tion is the only practical means by
which success can be obtained Divf-
sion at this time means at least pro-
crastiBation, We cannot afford to de-
Jay the eOnsummation Of this great
question. Success now to our enc
niies MEANS that hereafter their en-
ltrenchments viii be made stronger
and difficulties in the line OF success
to dls seilb loe greatly augmented. .euoG
