 Buckcv ONeill don't believe m sudden changes; in fact such things are not natural, and directly danger nus to a weak constitution; so he got out of the republican party in.o pDpuliSm. ran for office and was de- faated. and now he has stepped down from the Populist party into the democratic party, and If that party knows a thing when 1t sees 1t, it will proceed to nominate Buckey for office at once.
