NO REVENGE ABOUT IT.

"The reform editors of the State unite
in condemning Senator PETERS Iowa
speech. The feeling is general that he
is sore over his recall from the Senate
and is willing to join the middIe-of-th
road element as certain species of re-
venge."
This morsel is from the Girard News.
The News is away from it's base. The
reform editors do not unite in condemn
ing Senator Peffer's Iowa speech" But
II they did, even reform editors some
times are mistaken If the News will
take off its Democrat glasses long
enough to recognize a PopuIist when one
is passing, he will probably be reminded
that there was once a party known and
recognized as the Peoples party, COM
monty called the Populist party. Mr.
PETER helped form that party, he was
one of its charter members, he is still
member Of it, he likes it, he believes in
1t, and he wants to remain with it until
it can join with all other reform forces
under one name, creed and flag Now,
won't the News concede that he has the
right to do and believe these things? II
the News wants to go into some other
party, let it do so. Mr.. PETER is satisfied
where he Is for the present.
The advocate., 1897-09-08
EYES HAVE THEY, YET THEY CAN
NOT SEE.

We quote from the Eureka Union;
Greenwood county Populists are begin
ming to think they scarcely know how to
classify Senator PETER politically" If
the Greenwood people know what Pop
ulist is, Mr.. Peffer is chat. Again:
Senator PETER will probably be very
much surprised both in their number
and in their quality to meet the P0pu-
lists Qf there are any of Greenwood
county who feel that he was speaking
through the middle-of-the-road fellows
up at Des Moines recently, to them" 1t
seems they heard it, however, for the
Union adds to the above: I'VE know
there are hundreds who were painfully
surprised that he appeared there as the
principal speaker" The Advocate will
meekly inquire Of the Union what good
reason it can assign why Mr.. PETER
should not be and remain a Populist II
he so desires? He left the Democrat
party in 1854, and quit the Republicans
in 1888. He does not wish to so back
to either Of them. He is satisfied with
the Populist party. Why should he be
driven from it? Who has authority TO

organizations combined with Republi-
cans and Democrats in 1892 to form the
Peoples party, so now ought Democrats,
Republicans, Socialists, Single Takers,
NatiOnalists, POpulists and all other per,
sous who are opposed to the policy Of
the last and the present administrations
to unite in one great body, under a new
name and creed Of our own choosing,
and together as one man make war upon
the common enemy. This is the only
way to secure the full vote of the Op,
posing elements; for no one OF the ex-
listing parties can get anywhere near
all the votes Of other parties. But If all
are brought together in one body, then
each member will support and defend
it.
Such a union, the Advocate thinks,
could be effected through national
conference of accredited delegates. The
work might be begun in a State-in
Kansas, for instance. Kansas POpulists
were first in the field. The name 'Peo-
pies party" was first used in a State
campaign in Kansas in 1890. Should
the POpulist State Central committee re,
quest conference with like committees
Of other political bodies with the view Of
bringing about a permanent
union Of all the reform forces, it would
be good beginning.

BIG PAY FOR LITTLE SERVICE.
The Junction City Sentinel says:

The Junction City Sentinel says
'W. A. PETER who was six years ago
exalted to a seat in the United States
Senate, by the combined vote of the
Democrats and POpulists, has now taken
the stump in the interest of the middle
Of-the-rOad POpulists. The Democrats,
of course, appreciate his gratitude"
If the Sentinel never gets nearer
heaven than it gets to the truth in the
above quoted paragraph, it had better ask
the prayers Of its friends. The Sentinel
would convey the idea that Democrats
united with POpulists in order to secure
the election of United States Senator
in 1891. They did nothing of the kind.
There were only six Democrats in the
Legislature, half Of them were opposed
to PETER and voted for men Of their own
party. The other three voted for PETER
without any sort Of agreement, and their
votes could have been spared, leaving a
clear majority of thirteen straight POpu
list votes over all opposition, nOtwith-
standing the Senate, which had been
chosen in 1883, contained thirty-eight
Republicans and only two Populists.
But, If the Sentinel still thinks that
Populists owe their Democrat friends
something for the wholly unnecessary
assistance of three Democrat members
of the House in 1891, the Advocate ven-
lures to suggest that the aid Of the whole
body of Populist members in both
houses in electing John Martin, distin-
guished Democrat, to the United States
Senate in 1893, when there were only
three Democrat members in both
branches, is big pay for little service.
The advocate., 1897-09-08
THE RIGHT KIND OF FUSION

Wilson County Sun says: Senator
PETER is always quoted in his away from
home speeches as being opposed to
fusion, but it has been what made him
possible in Kansas and he says very lit.
tie about it in his paper" The Sun is
either too young or too old to remember
WE'LL The fusion of 1890 was coming
together of opposing elements into one
body, with one name, with one creed,
one flag. Republicans, Democrats,
Union Labor people and Prohibitionists
left their parties and formed a new
party and called it the Peoples party.
That was the right kind of fusion. Mr.
PETER admits that he was very much
interested in that movement. He began
to advocate it in 1882 He is now ready,
willing, desirous to repeat that process
Of fusion on much larger scale by a
fusion Of all voters that are opposed to
the present gold standard-high tariff
regime, into one great national party,
just as we fused in Kansas seven years
ago. But he greatly prefers the Peoples
party to the Democrat party and hence
does not wish to be fused into that party
mot now.
The advocate., 1897-09-08
ASKED AND ANSWERED.
we Ottawa Times asks:

What would Senator PETER say OF
Garrison, Lovejoy, Phillips, Greeley,
Sumner, Chase or j. p. Hale, the leaders
In the old abolition party, if they had
held aIoof from the Republican party in
1856, when it only declared against the
further extension Of slavery into the
Territories? Ifthese men had done what
Senator PETER is doing, and some lesser
lights, and named an out and out ab0li-
tiOn ticket against Abraham Lincoln.
their position would have been no more
ridiculous than these middle-of-the-
readers"
That is answered by the following ex-
tract from Mr.. Peffer's Des Moines
speech: llu
81 would be willing to abide by the
conclusions Of a national conference of
delegates duly appointed and accredited,
fairly yrepresentingall the elements among
voters who are opposed to the present
gold standard-high tariff regime. That
would bring the strongest and best men
together, who could, out of many, form
one party that could put the people in
the saddle again. But until that can be
accomplished, the Populist party is good
enough for me"
The abOlitionists went into a new
party. They did not drop back into
either Of the old ones. Mr. PETER would
like to see all the reform elements fused
into one body now, just as all the anti
slavery elements were fused into the
Republican party then, and if Populists
would only stand out for that they could
get it.
The advocate., 1897-09-08

In late issue of the Star and Kansan,
the following paragraph appeared:
Ex-senator PETER has this week
fallen below zero in the estimation OF his
old friends and admirers in Kansas. He
is taking part In the middle-Of- -the-r road
convention in Iowa in company with Abe
Steinberger. The silver forces In Iowa
have already united on ticket, and this
convention is believed to be Mark
Hanna affair. Steinberger being one Of
the leading spirits in the meeting
strengthens the belief"
The editor Of the Star and Kansan
must be o legitimate descendant OF the
witch burners Of Salem. Had he lived
and moved fifty years ago he would
doubtless have cheered the mob that
dragged Garrison about the streets OF
Boston, and would have rendered aid
to the villains that slew Lovejoy at AL
ton.
The spirit of the paragraph above
quoted is ugly, intolerant, mean why
is not the editor of the Star and Kansan

choice before the POpulist party was

with 1t and chose another. Why did he
choose to become a member OF the POpu-
list party? Because he preferred 1t to
any other. And who ought to be heard
to blame him? Nobody. He is a man
OF full age and free born. His opinions
are his own. He would brand as in
famous the man who would deny him
his right Of choice in all such matters
Because Mr. PETER prefers his own
party to any other and encourages its
friends to stand by 1t until some better
one arise" this man of the Star and
Kansan holds his nose and, like the
Levite, passes by on the other side. God
help the Populist party If it be wholly
made up of bigOts.

ONE REFORM PARTY AND HOW TO
FORM IT.

Is weakness. No great reform was eveI
accomplished until its friends united il
it's favor. Men now living who have
passed their fiftieth year remember how
quickly the anti-slavery sentiment of the
country crystallized in a new politica
party after the last barrier between free.
dom and slavery in the national Ter.
ritOries had been removed by the repea,
OF the Missouri compromise line in pur-
suanCe Of declaration by both the then
old parties on the side of the slave
power.
In 1892 the country had been brought
under the dominion Of the money power
a force vastly stronger than that exer-
cised by the Shareholders of 1852, and
in order to resist It's further encroach-
ments, the Peoples party Of the United
States was formed, justifying its ex-
istence by the conditions which sur
round us"
In its declaration of principles, after
setting forth the condition of the coun-
try, this new party, in the fourth para
graph, made the following statement
and charge concerning the policies of the
old parties; I'VE have witnessed for
more than a quarter of a century the
struggles Of the two great political par
ties for power and plunder, while griev-
Gus wrongs have been inflicted on the
suffering people. We charge that the
controlling influences dominating both
these parties have permitted the exist
ing dreadful conditions to develop with
out serious effort to prevent or restrain
them. Neither do they now promise us
any substantial reforms. They have
agreed together to ignore, in the com
ing campaign, every issue but one. They
propose to drown the Outcries Of a plum
dered people with the uproar of sham
battle over the tariff, so that capitalists,
corporations, national banks, rings,
trusts, watered stock, the demOnetlzation
Of silver and the expressions of the
usurers may all be lost sight of. They
propose to sacrifice our homes, lives, and
children on the altar of mammOn; to
destroy the multitude in order 10 secure
corruption funds from the milliOnaires."
AT the election of 1892, the Democrat
party was successful, and the next ad-
exceeded all its predeces-
sors in it's criminal laundering; and
the party, in 1896, while approving its
history, declared dn favor of restoring
silver coinage at the present legal ratio
But, with the aid Of POpulists and silver
it failed of success, and the
champions OF the gold standard and
high protective tariff again took pos,
session Of the government
The need Of one great party combining
all the force OF the opposing voters was
never more needed than it is now, Crazy
with success and the accompanying up
ward tendency of prices, the Republican
party, with its almost military disci-
pline, will be more formidable than ever,
for now it is the last refuge Of the class
that have brought all of our
worst troubles on us
