We are no less fortunate in our
candidate for vice president, Thorn
as Watson. He is fit to stand by
Mr.. Bryan and hold up his hand.
A scholar, an author, an orator, Il
hero, iery-souled son of the gal
liant south, as wise and just as he is
brave,
But do not take Encouragement
from the fact that there are two
candidates for vice president in the
field, marching under Bryan's ban
ner. There will be two months
between the date of election and
the day when the electors are re-
quired by law to cast their votes,
Surely there is wisdom enough in
the two parties that support MIR.
Bryan to adjust that complication
during the time in a manner salts
factory to all.
Brethren, some of you fear this
campaign will destroy the peoples
party. We have no such appre-
hension. Its principles are right,
and being right, they are immor-
tai. In four years they have Ia
ken possession of the Democratic
party, and on November 3 they
will take possession of the nation.
In 1892 we had but one million
votes. On Nov. 3, 1896, we shall
have a majority of the whole coun-
try. We have not become Demo
Gratis, but the Democrats have, in
the broad sense of the word, be-
come populists. We have not
given up our organization. We
do not propose to close the acade-
my because the first class is about
to graduate with honor. As the
spirit is greater than the flesh, so
the principles of party will be
greater than its traditions, We
are educating Democracy now from
the inside. We shall find it east
er to reach their conviction in all
cases by aid better than by oppo-
sition. If Democracy lives up to
its pledge, the alliance, now tenn
porary, may be continued. If
they do not, and the forces have
to divide, three-fourths of their
people will march off uuder our
standards. The battle is not over.
The Peoples party has yet tre-
mendous mission to perform, and
it seeks nothing that is not just
and reasonable. 1t must ever re-
main the guiding force of the
American republic-led by the
pioneers of the great army of re-
form.
In the name of God, your coun-
try, your children and all the poor
and oppressed of the whole world,
we ask you not to forego this op-
portunity to do good and help
mankind. Let all unworthy
thoughts perish.
The century's aloe flowers today.
| The tremendous power put forth
by our opponents teaches us that
if we fail now, we may fail for
ever. We feel the pressure of the
chains upon our limbs, but they
are not yet riveted. Shall the
coming artifcers have four years
more in which to finish their work!
Shall we not strike them down now
and forevers Shall our children
bless as in our graves; or shall
they rise up in their miseries and
curse our dishonest dust?
Remember that when liberty
dies in the United States, it dies in
the whole world. This is mans
one last great opportunity.
Forget everything else and do
your whole duty.
MARION BUTLER,
Chairman Populist Committee.

their possessions. The good OF
mankind has no place in their pur-
poses. They come to us from Eu-
rope, which they have despoiled
and made land of princes and
paupers; where great wealth and
great poverty stand perpetually
facing each other; where hireling
armies preserve the peace and pro-
tect the robbers from their VIC
tins. They are rapidly bringing
this great free republic to the
same condition.
Our ancestors fed from the old
world to the new to escape the
dreadful doom which injustice had
inflicted upon them. Whittier will
our children fly when the full fiow-
er of this hideous abominatlon
blossoms forth in her perfection!
Oppression peopled this new world.
| Is oppression to unpeople its Or
| is our noble civilization to sink In
blood, in blind battle OF wretch
edness against power, striking
wildly and wounding itself9 We
stand for the preservation OF hu-
manity in the highest estate OF
which it is capable on earth. The
good God who made the universe
and maintains it gave us this grand
continental arena for the develop
ment of man, not of metal. Ev-
cry instinct of philanthropy, every
teaching of religion, every I'M
pulse of wisdom, every dictate OF
craftsmanship, is with us in this
mighty struggle, and urges us for
ward to save the republic and the
human race. Insofar as the pre-
cious metals are to be used as the
basis of our exchange of commod-
tiles, we insist that both metals
shall he used.
In a burst of generous enthnsi-
asm and through the pangs of civil
war, we accomplished the enfran-
chisement of another race; but in
| the slough of despond from which
was plucked the black man, the
black and white are now alike
struggling. Having saved others,
we have now to save ourselves.
The issue is mightier than any
fought for in the past.
We have noblest leaders.
| Our candidate for president,
Hon. VIM. j. Bryan has proven
himself one Of the great men of
the century-if not of all time.
| The power which gave us Wash
ington, Jefferson, jackson and
Lincoln has by events almost mi
racuIous brought him to the fore
front of affairs. He is more than
an orator. He is a profound think
era logician-a born statesman.
He is striving to the last verge of
human endurancc-and at the risk
of his life in a campaign which
is one prolonged and tremendous
debate, to save his country. Is
there an honest heart that does not
90 out to him in this great strug-
glea We see him almost alone,
ike knight in armor, armed cap
a-pie with truth and righteousness,
battling against the gigantic pow
ers that now have possession of
the world. Shall we not sustain
himl Shall any petty plea turn
us asidea Let us follow whore he
leads and strike where he striks.
Almost without a newspaper
without wealth-he takes upon his
shield q thousand spear points and
strides forward, laughing, to beat
down the swarming host of the
enemy. Let every populist in the
United States cry out: master,
go on, and we will follow thee, to

DUPONT MAY BE SEATED.
A COMPROMISE REPORTED WITH
THE NEVADA SENATORS.

The Contested Election Case VIII BE
Decided This wesk-Owlnx to the Deter
mined Efforts of Senator IurpIe, OF
Indiana.
WAsHINGToN. May 5.-The Dupont
contested election cases will be dssIded
this week. Senator Turpie. Of Indiana,
surprised the Senate yesterday when he
offered = motion to proceed With the case
until it should be disposed Of. Ssnstor
Mitchell. of Oregon. chairman of the
Committee on Privileges and Elections,
vigorously protested against the motion.
declaring it to be pronounced senatorial
discourtesy for member OF the minority
of his committee to take the case out Of
the hands Of the chairman He said that
thers is no disposition to delay the case,
bat that It had been laid aside In order to
let the Committee on Appropriations
have right OF way with appropriation
bills
Senator Turpie insisted upon his mo-
tion, and II was csrried-yeas 32, nays
81. 1t was afterwards agreed by unani
nous consent that the case should be laid
aside until the river and harbor bill is
disposed Of, ard brought to vote at
harbor bill shall have besr passed. Two
Republicans were absent and impaired
II they had been present the vote would
have been yeas 32. nays 83. and the mo
tion OF Senator Turpie would not have
prevailed IL Is significant that Senator
Stewart, Populist. did not vote to-day
and that Senator Jones, of Nevada. Pop
ulist, was sbsent The settlement of the
case will depend upon the votes of the
Nevada Senator'S. and it Is now assumed
that they will aid DUPONT. In that
event he will be seated.
Some sort OF q compromise has been
reported with the NsvRda senators. Ii is
apparent that II Jones and Stewart re
frain from voting, DUPONT can be seated,
as the united Democrats and Popullsts'
strength is forty five and the Republi-
can senators number forty-four II the
Nevada senators refrain from voting the
united opposition will be forty three,
giving just one majority for Dupont II
Jones and Stewart vote for him Dupont
will have forty six votes against forty
three The entire matter rests with the
Nevads Populists, and Republican
senators to-day express the belief that
DUPONT will be seated The Republicans
will then have forty i've votes and the
opposition fcrty-6ve votes when voting
together on any proposition The cast
ing vote will then be With the Vice Presi
dent for the first time since March 4.
