Watson's Electoral Vote.

Had Mr.. Bryan been elected presi.
dent it is very likely the choice OF vice
president would have fallen to the sen.
ate, for the division of votes would
have prevented either Sewall or Wat
son from having majority in the
electoral college.
AS it is, Watson will have at least
q votes in the electoral college, and
may receive more. He will get four
votes from Louisiana, five from North
Carolina, four Nebraska, two Washing
ton, one from Utah, one from Montana
and four Missouri. In 1892 the popu-
lists had 22 votes in the electoral col
lege.
In other respects the party seems to
have been as successful as in the past
or more so. Populist committeeman
claim the election of twenty-one con.
gressmen from California. Idaho Col
orado, Alabama, Nebraska, Kansas
North Carolina and South Dakota. In
the present congress the populists have
only six members. They also hope to
secure senators from Kansas South
Dakota, Idaho and possibly North Car.
olina. This will leave them with abou!
the same strength in the senate as they
have at the present time.-Caicago

The public debt has been on the in.
crease for several months.

This is not a very good showing for
gold standard but the people have en-
dorsed it and the secretary OF the
treasury should keep it. II it is wrong
the people ought to have condemned
it, but as they did not. one can only
conclude tina. i. is all right and ought
to be perpetuated. When Mckinley
gets the helm, with John Sherman as
secretary OF the treasury, he may be
able to beat this record. A sound
money business revival ought at las.
to increase the public debt fifteen mil
lions per monta.--Southern Mercury.
The Louisiana populist., 1897-01-22

Leading democrats evidently think
that the peoples party belongs to the
democratic party by reason of annex.
alton. This opinion seems also to he
shared by some populists who have
succeeded in reaching the pie counte,
BY the aid of democratic votes. This
is a very serious mistake. The peo.
pies party has not surrendered it's or.
ganization. II there be those who have
formerly belonged to 1t desire to ioin
either the democratic or republican
party they have a perfect right to do

will be sustained.
The Louisiana populist., 1897-01-22

The people should not forget the
pledges for bimetallism made by the
republican party. That party now has
an opportunity to prove it's sincerity.
II should not only make an active and
earnest effort to bring about an inter-
national agreement for free silver but
1t should at once set the mint to work
coming the bullion in the treasury and
keep 1t up until all is coined, or It is
seen that the silver dollar is going con.
siderably below par In the hands OF the
people. The republican party now has

ChesterS Instead Of Ballots.

1t is given out now through the AS
sociated Press, the monopoly mouth
piece, that Cleveland is not to initiate
General Grant in a trip around the
world, but no reason Is given to the
public for the Kings change Of
mind" Accidentally, sound money has
come in possession of the real reason.
He is going to start national bank
in New York city as soon as he leaves
the White House next March, at least
our Washington correspondent so
learned.
1t seems that someone. high In an-
thority in Secretary Carlisle's Office,
told friend so, con6dentially, in
speaking about his future plans. and
the conversation was overheard by our
correspondents informant, very re-
liable person. This off cial is to have
an important post in 1.-The greatest
. banking institution in the world"--it
will probably be called the First Ma
tional Bank Of North America. Roths-
childs own South America completely.
Grover has become ambitious" says
this friend, "since he has amassed sew
eral millions SO easily. to become the
richest man in the world, and he Is
devoting all his energies and the ad-
vantages Of the high office he holds,
to make foundation for his bank that
will make 1t firm as the Rock Of Glib
raltar.'" He proposes TO out-do Mich
olas Biddles United States bank
scheme, and so be able to corner the
people, and be the real ruler Of the
United States by being president OF the
bank that will have its powers to
block the wheels Of government when
ever it chooses-that is, If the election
is not so close as to give basis to cry
fraud" and hold on where he is.
The capital stock Of his bank is to
be $500. 100000, based OH United States
bonds, $262,G0O,O0 of which he has al
ready issued himself to Pierpont Nor
gan and others in the deal. The re-
mainder he will issue between election
day and the 4th of next March, IL the
people will stand it; If not, Mckinley
is to issue them-Mark Hanna and
John Sherman. no doubt, having
agreed to do this in consideration of
Grover using his influence to create
the Palmer-Buckner ticket to aid in
McKinley's election.
This bank is to be a competitor OF
the banks Of England and France, and
old Rothschild himself-the old Boss
Jews American adopts are discount
ing him at his own game Of "hog. "
Pierpont Morgan, Benedict, Whitney
and Stetson are to be fellow directors.
It Is believed that Dave Hill has eyes
upon the attorneyship of the bank so
fixed that he doesn't take any interest
in the present election, but Carlisle is
slated as head legal adviser. Prob
ably Nicholas Biddle's bank that Jack
son squelched out will appear in his
tory as the smallest satellite in the
heavens to the sun In comparison to
Growers colossal scheme. 1t will be
the government, and Mckinley, If
elected, will be simply subaltern to
Grover the Great.

In one Of his speeches in his western
tour, General Sickles said: eThe
tramps are unanimously for Bryan. {"
There is nothing strange about that at
all. He might have added with equal
truthfulness. the fellows who made
the tramps are all for Mckinley" !"
Most tramps are not so from choice.
They are out Of work, and in this age
when the man gets out Of a job and is
looking for another he is called a
tramp. The tramps would, therefore,
naturally lean toward the friend who
would favor condition that would
give them Job at living wages.

Grover Cleveland might cover, up 4

tion in behalf Of cupa. tn attitude of
the United States toward the Cubans

more wrongs and oppression to Justify
their revolt than our fcrefathers ha,,
In 1776. They are lighting against q
more despotic power. The atrocities
already committed by Spanish soldiers
on innocent victims would justify any
civilized nation interfering In Cuba.s
