Populism the True Condition.

The New York Herald says: If the
silverites carry the day at Chicago.
honest democrats and republicans
should unite to save the country.
1t will occur to most people who
study current events that .'honest
Notwithstanding, it is supposed,
democrats of Intelligence ana dls-
cernment-have been uniting with
republicans in considerable NUMBERS
during the last two years
| Now it looks as though those who
| left the democracy in 1894 and 1895,
for local and state reasons, Will re-
main under the republican banner In
spite of the fact that president OF
the United States will be elected this
wear. General ID. E. Sickies, speak
ing of the probable action of the lead
ers of his party in Chicago, made
these interesting declarations:
at looks as they would make fools
of themselves. 1t looks as if many
who would be in the convention had
ceased to be democrats. Those who
are still democrats Will made pro-
test against the free silver craze.
Those who are populists will vote for
the populiSt idea as to silver. The
fight ought not to be given up. To
vote for free silver Is the same now as
to have been copperhead during the
war. 1t will be done by those who
regard the success of some candidate
as of more consequence than the safe
ty of the nation
The populist idea is the idea that
seems to have taken control OF the
democratic party. That organization,
as was predicted four years ago, has
gone through Il slaughter house and
is now standing on the verge of its
grave. Mr. WaterSon, who made the
prediction that this would happen, is
now in the foreign lands and will not
be present at the obsequieS of the de-
parted. This is unfortunate, as will
eliminate from the history of the
democratic party an interesting and
instructive incident.
Populism is now the condition
which confrontS those citizens of this
country who formerly acted with the
democratic party, but who are now
wondering where they will bring up
in this presidential year. There
should be no doubt or hesitation on
that score. The path is strait before
them as it is before every man who
would perform his duty bravely and
intelligently.

Republican Nominations

Just one hundred ana twenty years
ago to-day the United States of
America declared their independence.
No other nation on the face of the
globe has a right to feel so proud of
our past achievements, present great
ness or future possibilities, and we
have no patience with the peSSimiSm
of to-day which proclaims that we
have nothing to be proud of or with
that sentiment which prevails in GER
tain quarters that we have reached
the climax of our glory. We are far
from affirming that every step in our
progress has been taken under the
guidance of rectitude or justice: that
no stain mars the page of our national
glory. Nevertheless, the history of
the world gives no example of
nations career, so honorable. so just.
so elevated, so pure. Our civil insti-
buttons, our constitutions, both of
the states and of the union, whatever
imperfectiOns they may have, are
still unequalled in the privileges they
confer upon the citizens who live
under them. The poor and the rich
together, the titled and the untitled.
share in the common privileges of
making our laws and electing the
officers to administer them. In all
parts of the land the largest religious
liberty is secured to every citizen.
The means of a higher education. also.
are within the reach of all who will
put forth vigorous effort to obtain
them. In referring to the present
greatness and future glory of our
country as reason why we should
cherish it with patriotic pride, we do
not allude to its greatness m territory
nor to its glory as a conquering nation.
Our greatness lies rather in all that
should distinguish peace-loving and
truly aspiring people: in elevated
craftsmanship, in commercial enter
prise, in great national works. in the
useful and polite arts, and in a COM
handing intellectual and moral char
acter. We claim to have reached the
highest form of political organization.
that in which the people govern them
selves. Such a government. such a
self control. no other people has ever
reached. Other nations have shown
vast proves, a mighty valor in action
but none has reached so command
inc greatness in repose. May we
not also find pleasure and pride in our
prospective glory? There are indeed
sources of apprehension that our glory
may depart, and our country's great
ness become a thing that was But
we have strong grounds of hope, nay
of confidence. that our Union will |
still abide: that our institutions will |
still be preserved, and that the future |
CT our nations history will be still |
brighter than its past. Her foun-
dations have been laid on the great
corner stones of Freedom and Truth:
and while the principles of freedom
shall live and the God of truth shall
be recognized, we may hope for the
nations advancing greatness and still
glory.

An exchange has thus frankly ex-
pressed its opinion about woman
who had died: While it is almost a
crime to speak i'll of the dead, we
feel it our duty to tell the truth about
Miss Mary Bayer, who died last night.
She was human hornet. She never
spoke a decent word about any one,
living or dead, and SANDER sprung
from her mouth like the toads from
the girl in the fairy tale. If she goes
to heaven we don't want to be there,
and we believe we voice the senti-
ment of every man, woman and young
lady in this burg. We gladly contri-
butte quarter for ice for Mary. She
will need it.
