Brethren, some of you fear that this
campaign will destroy the Peoples party.
We have no such apprehensions. Its
principles are right and being right they
are immortal. In four years they have
taken possession of the Democratic party,
and on November they will take posses
sion of the nation. In 1892 we had but
1000, GOO votes. On November 3, 1896,
we shall have majority of the whole
country. We have not become Democrats
but the Democrats have, in the broad
sense of the word, become Populists. We
have not given up our organization. We
do net propose to close the academy be-
fore the first class is about to graduate
with honor. AS the spirit is greater than
the fesh so the principles of a party are
greater than it's traditions. We are edu-
cutting Democracy now from the inside.
We shall find it easier to reach their con-
victions rs allies than as opponents. Mems
opinions are not fixed quantities but fluc-
tuate with events. If Democracy lives up
to it's pledges the alliance, now temporary,
may be continued. If they do not, and
the forces have to divide, three fourths of
their people will march off under our
standards. The banquet is not over with
the soup. The Peoples party has yet u
tremendous mission to perform: and il
seeks nothing that is not just and reason
able. 1t must ever remian the guiding
force of the American republic-led by the
pioneers of the great army of reform.

Great Interest Manifested in Armenian
Refugees on Ellis Island

Refugees on Ellis Island
Washington, Oct. 24-The public in
terest manifested in the Armenian refu-
gees now daily arriving ut Ellis Island is
unprecedented. \ report was received
to-day by Acting Commissioner Gen
Larned from DR.. Senner, the immigration
commissioner, at New York. SUBMITTING.
copies of Il large number of kilograms and
letters from persons in all parts of the
east asking that from one To three refu.
gees be sent TO them and promising con
slant employment and remunerative
wages as farm hands, house servants, etc
The report also said that several prom
lnent men of wealth and standing in New
ORR, Boston, and other Eastern cities
nave called on DR.. Senner and have offered
TO furnish bonds in any amount required
that these Armenians never will become
public or private charges. Although the
officials are i'll full sympathy with the
purposes of these phlanthropic persons
yet the law admits of the exercise of little
discretion in its enforcement.
Mr. Larned. assistant commissioners of
immigration, has gone To New York to
confer with DR.. Senner as to what can be
done to relieve the congested condition
and also to discuss the question rs tn
whether the offers of work for the Arme-
mans may be considered in determining
the question of admission This has been
done Ill few cases in the past and it is
not unlikely that if the offers are found
upon investigation to be bonafide and
made by responsible persons, they will
materially assist i'll solving the problem.
