ABOUT THE STATE CONVENTION.

Before the next issue of the ADvo.
CATE reaches its readers, the Populist
State convention will be in session.
The work of that body is peculiarly
important this year. A full State
ticket is to be selected, with a list of
Presidential Electors. Conferences
with representatives of other parties
will be had, and on the nature and re-
suits of these much depends. Whether
and how far national union for the
campaign ought to influence local con-
ditions is matter for serious and patri-
otic consideration.
If 1t be practicable for Democrats
and silver Republicans to unite with
Populists Oh one Electoral and one
State ticket, the ADVOCATE thinks it
ought to be done. This, In fairness,
ought to be arranged as nearly as may
be according to the probable voting
strength Of the several parties.
As to the State ticket, we have heard
but one sentiment expressed. 1t is
that In the selection Of candidates per-

MR.. BRYAN AND TIE POPULIsT NOMINA-
TION.

TION.
The question Is everywhere asked,
"Will Bryan accept the Populist nOmi-
natiOnP" The ADVOCATE has no
authority to speak for Mr.. Bryan and
desires none. He is the regular NOM
inee of the Democrat party and will be
expected TO indorse his party platform.
While that party has taken a great
stride forward, and while 1t has pro.
claimed a creed which, with but q
single exception, every Populist sp-
proves, 1t is not a Populist declaration
and 1t does not satisfy the demands of
the PopuliSt party. Let the reader
compare the platform adopted last
week at st, Louis with the Democrat
platform agreed upon at the Chicago
convention, and he will at once note
that the Populists take much higher
and broader ground than the Demo-
Gratis.
The two parties are essentially differ
ent. Democrats are coming forward
rapidly, but they are still far behind
the advance guard.
The ADVOCATE sees no good reason
why Mr.. Bryan should be asked or
expected to either accept or decline
the Populist nomination. His noml-
nation was made not as a party meas
ure, but solely because 1t is the uni
Versal desire Of the Populists, as 1t is
of the Democrats and silver Repubi.

in an effort to defeat q common enemy.

that. They did not then merge their

A WORD ABOUT Parry LINES.

Throughout the week Of hard work
done by delegates at st. Louis last
week, two objects were kept CON.
StAntly In view: First, to maintain
the party organization intact; second,
60 effect q temporary union Of the
AntI-gOld standard vote of the country
In opposition to the Republican party.
These objects have both been wisely
secured.
The convention first provided for the
party's creed and then for the party
organization The platform Is admir-
able. 1t is thoroughly Populist. It is
radically different from any and all
other platforms. It is advanced to the
front thought-llne Of the day. Our Ma
tIonal committee Is composed Of three
members from each State and Territory.
The POpulist party Is thoroughly or
ganized on its own platform and will

stFated their will and their ability to
maintain and preserve the union of
the States. They will not surrender to
any power but their own without O
struggle. They know what war is and
they want no more Of 1t. Happily
they still have the ballot, which is q
freeman's first defense. And now, to
defeat the gold power and destroy its
rule, voters of all the parties among
us are joining hands In a common
effort. The ballot-box is still left US.
A majority Of Democrats have taken
possession of their great party, as they
had a right to do; they have hoisted
the banner Of rebellion against the
plutOcrscy Of their former party dicta-
tors who have become willing agents
Of the great banking houses in Europe;
they have risen to greater height than
was thought to be possible with the

clsred war against the common enemy,

bearer q citizen whose life and charac-
ter and whose opinions and ambitions
are not only evidences of his fitness to
lead, but, also, his ability to serve.
Mr.. Bryan stands for the people-as
Lincoln did Voters without respect
to party are gathering about him, de-
termined to lend themselves In this
supreme crisis to the one great object
of defeating the movement to fssten
upon the country gold basis for our
circulating medium.
POpulists, whose aim has been con.
stsntly directed to the same object,
have agreed to form temporary union
with these Democrats and with silver
Republicans, that together we may
rally an inVincible host to hurl against
the armies of the Golden King. AS
evidence of our good faith, we have
agreed upon our own party plat
form and with one of our own re-
spected members to. bear our banner,
we will make common cause for a
common puprose In this national cam
paign. And that is what Bryan and
Watson means.

THE gold standard Democrat papers
are now finding fault with Bryan be-
cause he would not support the nOmi-
nee Of q Democrat convention which
virtually kicked him out in 1893 be-
cause Of free silver views. Bryan Is a
consistent silver man regardless of
party and that is what the people want.

selves in q war sgainst q common foe,
they do not surrender anything. They
simply join forces for a common pur-
pose. Their troops are commanded by
their own officers, and when the object
sought Is accomplished, each army be-
comes itself again. So it is here. Pop.
ulists have no thought of now effectinR
q permanent union with men Of other
parties. The time is not ripe for such
union. That will come in time
when the people are ready for it. 1t is
better that for this year each man vote
from his own party standpoint. There
are good reasons for this VieW,-we
have not room or time to present them
now. But we must all vote one way.
Therefore, it is unreasonable, as it
is unnecessary and unimportant, that
Mr.. Bryan should have anything to
do with the affairs of the Populist
party. We are competent to manage
our own business, What we want,
and all we want now, is to effect such
a combination with men of other par
ties as will secure the best effect of the
united vote Of men opposed to the Re-
publican gold standard policy.
1t so happens that Mr.. Bryan was
first put in the field as a leader in this
great contest. 1t Is our duty to render
him all the assistance In our power.
We ought not to embsrrsss him or his
party assistants by any sort of de-
mands beyond good faith. What Is
needed is votes. Democrats under
stand well enough that without sup
port they will be overwhelmingly
defeated. The defeat of Mckinley
will be the victory of POpulists. Every
body knows that.
Let us unite our votes, and wait for
q calmer time to discuss points of diff
ference in party creeds. Patriotism
knows no party. The country now
demands our united support. Let us
give 1t freely and question not the pol
itics of our temporary leader.
The ADVOCATE is of the opinion
that Mr.. Bryan ought not to be
wei ighted in this mighty conflict with
Populist affairs as such. Not a word
ought to be spoken OF written that will
divert single voter from the path Of
duty. The Democrats have enough to
do to take care of their own party
matters. They have already done
wonders. Let US encourage and aid
them, and not embarrsss them by in
truding our party plans upon their
attention at q time like the present
when free institutions are at stake and

country. 1t ia wholly unlike that of
forty years ago. That came about
through the demand for national dom
nation by the slave power. But
slavery was q local institution, and
besides, 1t was condemned by the best
sentiment Of the Christian world. It
had little moral support anywhere.
In the present case, the people are
confronted with q demand on the part
Of the great money owners and money
lenders of the world, together with
the powerful creditor and corporate
classes and the ruling powers of all
the leading nations, supplemented and
REINFORCED by the most formidable
political party in the United States,
that all the values Of mems labor in it's
multitudlnous forms shall be measured
by an arbitrary and fictitious value
fixed by law upon the scarcest and
dearest one Of two metals, both of
which, until quite recently, were used
as media Of exchange in all parts of
the world In the transfer of property
values.
This, as all the world knows, means
universal depression in business, psrsl
ySis OF trade, loss of employment, bank
ruptcy, and mental and moral WreckaRe
among men. 1t means more. 1t
means revolution more terrible than
any that are behind us, a worldwide
war in which every man and woman
among the working classes will feel at
liberty to raise and equip his own army.
The money power is grasping and
merciless. Through many centuries
OF rule 1t has become master of the
world. Ninety.fiVe per cent. of civil
lied men are, In one form or another,
indebted to this remorseless ruler.
Even now more than half the people
of the United States are compelled to
pay money for the privilege of living
on the earth, In our great cities
from 9 per cent, to % per cent. of the
people own all the land and all the
dwellings. The rest of the people are
renters, and the property of the rich
largely escapes taxation. Our ma
tiOnal government, spending 500 mil
lion dollars q year, is supplied in
greater part by taxes wrung from the
poor through tariff duties on neces-
ssries of life. Through interest, rent
and tax, the property of the people is
fast passing out of their hands.
at last the great body Of the people
have come to see these things and to
comprehend their meaning, The Re-
publican party, ignoring the grand
achievements Of It's early history,
throwing q veil over the glorious rec
ord 1t made when Lincoln was here
and Seward and Chase and the men of
that eVentful time, has become the
open ally Of the most dangerous power
on earth, and espoused the cause of
the usurer whose footprints down the
ages are traced amid the wrecks of ma
tiOns and the blood Of men. Usury
has brought more of misfortune and
loss on human kind than all the wars
that were ever Wsged.
This great conspiracy against the
common rights of the people is
working out its legitimate results.
