N. Y. World.)
WASHINGTON Nov. 1.-The World
on Tuesday showed how the crafty
Populists took the meat and left the
bare bone to the Democrats, their part
ners in fusion. The Populists gave
thirty-eight useless electors and got
the Governors and the State and local
States, beside Senators and Congress
men from States that were heretofore
Democratic.
Now Senator Butler declares that
the Democratic party is used up and
that the POpulists will in the future
be the opponents of the Republicans.
He says:
THE Democratic party is bigger
today than it will be at the opening
of the next campaign. The Peoples
Party will grow bigger as each day
passes. The real silver men in both
parties will come to us, and therefore
1 say that the Peoples Party will gain
accessions from silver Republicans
and Democrats until it will contain a
majority of the voters of the United
States"
Senator Butler said he did not think
the Populist and independent silver
Senators would oppose tariff legisla-
ton for revenue only. The Populist
representative would not be particu-
lar about which articles the duty is
placed on, provided it is on such ar
ticles as are consumed by the rich and
on raw materials which are now on
the free list. They will favor an in
come tax, and if the silver men get
control of Congress they will proba-
bly, submit to the State legislatures a
proposition which will make an in
come tax law constitutional in spite
of the decision of the court which
they claim nullified the constitution
