SILvERITES AND POPULISTS.
A New Basis of Union Proposed Which
Should he Thoroughly Weighed.

EDITOR ADV0CATE:-A new OASIS
of union between silverites and POpu-
lists hiss been suggested by Ignatius
Donnelly, of Minnesota. Briefly stated,
the proposition is as follows: The two
organizations are to unite on candidates
and not on platforms. The leaders of
the silver movement and the National
committee of the Peoples party are
each to call their respective conven-
tionS at the same time and in the same
city. Each convention is to frame its
own platform without regard to the
views of the other. When the plat
forms ale adopted, then a conference
committee composed of delegates from
both conventions is to be appointed to
decide upon the candidates for Presi-
dent and Vice President. When they
agree upon their candidates, then these
candidates are nominated by both con-
ventions separately and at the same
time.
At the first glance this proposed
method of union seems to be wholly
commendsble, but when we closely an
alyze 1t the dangers lurking under the
fair exterior can easily be discerned.
The life of the Peoples party o0iU be IN
the hands Of the committee chosen to
select and agree upon the candidates
for President and Vice President. If
the men composing that committee are
conservative, they will unite upon can.
didates representative of their views.
The silVerites are composed largely
of the free coinage elements of the two
old parties; they have no sympathy
with the radical principles In the
Omaha platform for which the Peo.
ple's party stands, and they will never
unite upon candidates representative
of the principles of that party.
Conservative Popnlists of the stamp
of Tsubeneck will do all in their power
to nominate equally conservative can
didates for the Presidency and Vice
Presidency, and the effort openly made
during the last year to narrow the plat
form of the Peoples party down to the
free coinage of silver will succeed If q
free silver man, "only this and nothing
more" is made the standard bearer of
the Peoples party. This would simply
mean the ami ilstion of the party
and the triumph of the silver move.
ment, and this is what the Silverites are
after.
The National Waterman, of Wash
ington, In its last issue as PopuliSt
paper (for it has since been sold to the
Silver Knight Publishing Company
and consolidated with the Sil0er
Knight, declares that the next Populist
national convention will be fully con.
trolled by the conservative element
Of the party, and that neither the
single tax, the initiative and referen-
dunn. proportional representation, good
roads bill, womsn's suffrage, govern.
ment ownership of monopolies or utili-
ties will find a place in the next ma
tlonsI platform. It asserts that the free
coinage elements of the two old par
ties and the conservative elements of
the Peoples party will lead the fight
next year. This statement coming
from paper now owned by the Silver
Knights, shows what may be expected

ment of value that will come
with actual building, grading

AFFECTING IMMIGRATION.

Pierre Journal MANY eastern

cause of it's location, "way up in the
north west, in the land OF almost per.

II mistaken notion and if such an OBJ
iector will turn to the map of the
United states he will see that the
southern boundary of South Dakota
is practically in the same latitude,
while very little OF this state is north
of New York.
Perhaps there is no one thing in
this northwest about which people
OF the east and south are so much
mistaken as the weather, and, in our
opinion, it has more to do with i'm
migration than any other one thing.
People east and south of us cannot
associate Dakota" with anything
but extreme cold. And yet it would
be an easy matter to disabuse their
minds OF this by examining and com
pairing, from day to day, the official
government weather reports, show
the temperature at Pierre or Huron
and at Chicago, Cleveland, and other
northern points. 1t would surprise
many to learn that there is little
variation between these points.
