It is practically settled that in the south
there will be no fusion of the democrats
and populists The southern democrats
are not anxious for fusion upon any terms
that would be acceptable TO the populists
They are satisfied they can carry all the
southern states without any populist help.
This being the feeling among the demo-
cratic leaders it can be readily understood
why Chairman Jones, of the national dem
ocrauc committee, does not appear to be
anxious to make any agreement with the
populists that would secure their support
for Mr.. Bryan.
Such support could be secured only by
democrats consenting to vote for Mr.. Wat
son for Vice President. They would not
consent to do that. On Tuesday, the day
after the Alabama election. Gov. Oates.
of that state, telegraphed Chairman Jones
to the effect that Alabama democrats APP
prove the course Chairman Jones is pur-
suing. that they would not vote for
Watson, and that fusion would cause
great deal of dissatisfaction and probably
give the state to the republicans"
The Alabama election demonstrated. to
the satisfaction of many of the democrat
ic leaders of that state. that the number
of popullsts who have returned to the dem
ocratic party is large. If the populists of
Alabama should put out an electoral tick
ct it would not poll very large vote, be-
cause of the large number Of populists who
are satisfied with the national democrat
ic platform and ticket. There is no doubt
that in this state a very large percentage
of the populists will vote the democratic
ticket, even though they should have can
dldates of Their own for President and
Vice President.
The populists believe, OF course, that
they have a grievance against the demo-
cratic party because Of it's refusal to &C
cord to them any concession of any kind
whatever, and they will nurse their griev-
ance and talk about getting control of the
government in 1900. Such talk amounts to
nothing. Before 1900 the populist party
will have disappeared practically. The
democratic party will be all the stronger
for refusing to fuse with the populists.

The pulpit IS no place for partisan pol
itics. Ministers have the right. and
should exercise it. Of voting in accord
ance with their convictions. and OF ex-
pressing their political Views IN CONVEX
sations with their friends and acquaint-
ances. They have the right even Of max
ing stump speeches in favor Of the can
didates they favor. but We do not think
they should endeavor TO make converts
to the political principles they favor by
advocating those principles from the pull
pit. Political sermons seldom or never
introduce bad feeling into the churches
In which they are preached. It would be
difficult TO hnd a congregation that Is
entirely harmonious IN the matter OF pol
itics. Hence the minister who takes one
side or the other of political contro-
versy is pretty certain TO have a divided
and unsympatheuc congregation.
One Of the most violent Of the political
preachers that have come to the surface
during this campaign IS the Rev. Robert
Macarthur, d. D.. Of New York city. He
regards the men who made the national
democratic platform and nominated Bryan
and Sewall as being but little better than
anarchists. and he has not hesitated to
say so in his sermons. He has not taken
into account the fact that many Of the
ministers Of the south and west are sup
porters OF Bryan and Sewall. IN fact,
he doesn't appear to have taken anything
into account except his own wishes and
interests. The fact that he is doing the
cause OF religion harm does not appear
to be OF much consequence to him.
Another OF the political preachers who
have attracted attention is Bishop New.
man Of the Northern Methodist church
He is distinguished and influential. He
has announced a most surprising pro-
gramme. He says that in the conference
of which he has charge there are over
1000 minister's and that he shall tell
them he thinks st is their duty to use
all their influence against Bryan and
Sewall. lie has nothing personally against
the democratic candidates for President
and Vice President, but thinks the doc
trines for which they stand mean incal,
culable harm to the country. The bishop
may not be aware Of the fact that. as
rule. when the churches have meddled
in politics the people have taken offense,
and voted against the position occupied
by the churches. Such was the case in
the recent election in Canada.
Open letters to Bishop Newman. eharg-
ing him with making false statements,
are already beginning to appear in the
public prints. and If he carries out his
programme relative to the 1000 ministers
in his conference. we shall have some
lively attacks upon the pulpit. While
most men are willing to be guided by the
church in matters OF religion. they are
not willing to be guided by it in matters
relating to politics. Bishop Newman. Dr.
Macarthur and other political preachers.
are likely to do the cause of religion
much more harm than they do Mr. Bryan
by preaching politics from the pulpit.

PopulIsm on the w7ane.
From the Baltimore Herald Dem

The chief political lesson taught by the
Alabama election is that populism is on
the wane
This party. which promised so much and
accomplished so little has been repudiated
in Alabama, as it has been in Colorado
and almost everywhere.
The populist' party is an organization
which has voiced popular discomfort 1t
has fed upon the political mistakes of
others, but has presented few, If any.
practical suggestions for the betterment
of the government.
1t has not been a party to inspire the
confidence of intelligent men, other than
such as may have become disgruntled
with the existing state of things 1t has
pursued wild theories. and set forth prirf-
ciples as revolutionary as its own sock
less" and ''whiskered" adherents are fan
tastic and unconventional.
That such party should be doomed is
not surprising, and its Waterloo in the
Alabama election is as much matter of
satisfaction as its unknown power was
one Of anxiety before the ballots were cast
and counted.

The election in Alabama yesterday
seems to have resulted in an honest vic
tory for the democrats. The fusionists
will. of course, cry fraud now that they
have been beaten, but the evidence appears
overwhelming that a good majority of
the voters of the state preferred the dem
ocratic ticket to the republican-populist
combine. There was every reason why an
intelligent man should make this choice
Johnston and Goodwin, the democratic
and fusionist candidates for governor, are
equally strong free coinage men. but the
influence behind Johnston promise a far
better administration Of state affairs than
could have been expected from the com

Herbert, therefore supported the demo-

Watson,s Policy.

1t is known now what Mr.. Watson's pol
icy is in respect to fusion of democrats
and populists on the presidential ticket.
1t was known Immediately after the St
Louis convention, but it now has the ap-
prevail Of the populist convention of this
state. 1t is that the populist should fuse
with the democrats provided the demo-
Gratis substitute Watson for sewall for
Vice President, but that if the democrats
will not make the substitution the popu-
lists should run straight electoral tickets
in each state.
1t is of Importance to know to what ex-
tent this policy viii be adopted by popu-
lists of other states. The indications are
that it will be pretty generally adopted in
the south. 1t is doubtful if it will be
adopted in the west.
Its adoption in the south is not a mat
ter Of much consequence. The democrats
can carry the southern states. A good
many populists have already returned to
the democratic party and more will do so
before the election. If the populists should
fuse with the republicans they might en-
danger democratic success in two or three
of the southern states but they cannot
afford to do that on national issues.
The Watson policy will not meet with
favor in the west. If straight out electoral
tickets should be nominated by the radi-
cal or as they are called, middle of the
road" populists they would not command
the support of the conservative populists,
and the conservatives are greatly in the
majority. Bryan and sewall. therefore.
are certain of getting the bulk of the pop
ulist vote in the states in which they need

policy advised by Mr.. Watson would de-

single electoral vote it would receive if
there should be fusion in all the states.
