DOES NOT DENY TT

Major w. A. Hotchkiss. the veteran
and patriot of the Preston, Mimi. Ma
tlonal Republican. says:
This week we give our readers an i'm
portant letter from S. NJ. Owen. twice the
candidate OF the Alliance and PEOPLES
party FOR governor Of Minnesota 1t had
been charged that he advocated the merg-
Ing OF the Peoples party into the Demo-
crat Or some other party. We did not be-
lleVe 1T and wrote for his own statement
OF his position that particular question
HIS letter is frank and unequivocal He
wants reform at once and if it can be
nastened under new party name, without
a sacrifice of principle he is ready for the
new name, but the principles tersely stated
IN the Omaha platform must be maint aimed
at all hazards. This is the attitude of Mr.
owen to which we agree except as to the
new name. The Peoples party has made q
wonderful record; has attained a voting
following of more than two million: has
the balance Of power in the United States
senate and seven state governors and.
among it's leaders. are the foremost states
men IN the world. 1t has forced the old
parties to recognize the financial policy OF
civilization and caused division Of the
sheep from the gold bug goats in the Re-
publican and Democrat parties. Glorious
name. magnificent achievement. History
records no grander development of pro-
gressive politics. TO ABANDON OUR
PARTY NAME WOULD BE SUICIDAL
1t will not be done. The question must not
be considered. The thought originated in
the hot beds of city politics where all man.
ner of party vermin are Matched under
plutocratic incubators: where pestilentiaI
ambition refuses to be cooperative for the
public good; where personal organs assume
dictatorship and strive to drive the rank
and file of our grand reform movement in
The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1897-05-26

In the last campaign our party aban-
doned its original policies and princi-
pies. Instead Of fighting its two old en-
emies, It allied itself with one of them.
It is true we adopted : platform at st.
st. Louis substantially the same as the
original. but we said .'Here d our plat
form. This is what we believe, but we
must not advocate it. We must not
make the fight on that pIaform, For we
might offend the Democrats, and the
Democrats DON'T believe as we do.
They have a platform not at all like
ours, except on the silver question. but
let us boost them into Office" And SO
we tried. The fight was made on a
Democratic platform, with Democratic
standard bearers, There was hardly
anything seen. or heard. or known Of
the Populist Party. We were out OF
sight, and forgotten.
We have a set Of principles, but we
want to know whether we have a party
that will advocate them, and try to elect
men into Office who will enact them into
laws. If our party does not propose to
do that, what is the good of platform
of principles? Under such circum
stances, why should we exist as a party:
We must get together and agree upon
a policy. We cannot each advocate a
different policy and be successful as a
party. There must be cohesion and ad
hesion. We must unite upon a policy
and then stick to it, and fight for It.
Without definite object, and persist
By all means let us get together, and
find out what is best to. be done, and
then do it.

A CRISIS.

Let the People speak-Postal Card
Letters Asked For.
A strong effort is being made to turn
the Peoples party over to the Demo-
crats-or rather to smash it, without
any demand from the Democrats.
The money power Is at work
Are we right in insisting that the
Peoples party must live?
Take a postal card and send in your
views, giving name and postoffice
Many short, emphatic letters will be
better than few long ones. Let the
people hear from each other
A crisis is on us; and the only free
silver daily in the state is backing up
our former candidate for governor, in
demanding that the party abandon it's
name and organization, and "fuse" at
once with the other elements, which so
far have manifested no desire to fuse
with us.
You can say great deal on a postal
card. Let every man and woman write
us.
Shall the Peoples party perish?
That Is the question.

TO OUR FRIENDS.

The Representative is doing we'll; but
it must do better. 1t should have $4,000
subscribers. Will you give them to us?
You can if you will. You see clearly
that there is desperate attempt being
made, under the lead of S. M. Owen and
the Evening Press, to destroy the Peo-
pies Party and turn it's membership
over to the Democrats. You don't want
that to be done. 1t will put us back
where we were in 1891, when we met al
Cincinnati to organize the party. 1t
will disband our two or three million Of
followers. 1t will throw away all our
labors during the last six years; -yes;
all OUR labors during the last twenty
five years; it will leave Plutocracy en-
trenched for another generation; and it
will make slaves of your children and
your children's children.
There will be desperate effort made
by the pirates to swarm up the sides of
the gallant craft of Populism, to tear
down it's flag, and put it's defenders to
the cutlass.
Can you stand idly by and see this
done?
The money of Plutocracy is at work

Peoples Party to defend the. Peoples
Party has all the money it needs, and

and powerful that, we can defend you

Gals who are trying to divide and de-
stroy you.

GROUNDLESS FEAR.

We feared that there would be moth
Ing to excite public feeling. or stir the
souls Of men, until the campaign of 1898
opened. But in the month of May, 1897,
we find ourselves in a desperate conflict
to determine whether the Peoples Party
shall live or die It don't want to die
but some of it's pretended leaders in
sfst 1t MUST die. If it ought to die it
ought never to have lived.

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.

There was once a great "Greenback
party" We helped to create it. A few
Office-seeking leaders fused" it with
Democracy, and it was heard of no more
in the land
The same game is being played today
with the Peoples party. We are threat
ened with the loss of our subscribers if
we do not help the work of slaughter.
Jonah had better drown in the sea
than go into the whales belly.
If there has got to be ostracism, smash
the scoundrels who would sell out great
principles for a piece of pie. Throw
them over the battlements. Send them
where their hearts are. There is no
room in the Peoples party for those
who would shed its life blood.

ARE THEY TRAITORS?

In "Our Forum" will be found a COM
munication from A. S. Stephens, of
Beardsley, MINI.
We do not agree with our friend in his
! charge that those who favor the Nash
vile conference are traitors in the pay
of Mark Hanna, and that they are seek
ing to create dissension in our ranks
for the purpose of aiding the enemy.
No, that charge Is not true.
Who are the men who are demanding
this conference? Why, they are the
men who organized the Populist Party,
and who for years advocated the prin-
ciples laid down in the Omaha platform
They are the men who were battling for
reforms when it was unpopular to do
so. They stood up bravely against
abuse, ridicule and calumny when the
party was young and with few adher-
ents. And now shall we spurn them
as traitors? Have we forgotten the
services and sacrifices of Morton, Bur-
kett, Donnelly, PETER, Loucks, Watson,
Cyclone Davis, Parks and a hundred
other pioneers in this great movement
Traduced, slandered and villified by the
Old party press for quarter of a cen
fury, and shall we believe them false
now? No! a thousand times no! They
were true when the bitter, burning
shafts of hatred and calumny We.9
turned on them by unanimous press
and pulpit; they are true now, true as
steel. 1t would be ungrateful in us to
denounce them as traitors.
There are good reasons for calling
this conference
Tom Watson says:
when an army has been routed in battle.
what must it's generals do-provided they
mean to keep up the war?
Must they try to rally their scattered
troops, or try to reorganize them? Must
they try to encourage them, reinspire them
and put them in shape again to meet the
enemy? t~
Or must the broken lines be allowed to
drl1t almlessly hther and thither. melting
away hour after hour, demoralized dis
banded and hopelessly wrecked?
Answer these questions, and you also
answer the question SHOULD the PEOPLES
party hold a national conference"
We have been routed-our forces are dis.
couraged, demorahzed and wellneigh dis
banded. 4..
Shall we make. no effort to rally oul
I scattered troops?
We are told that a conference now would
be premature,
Why SO? If we are to hold any confer.
ence ct all. the sooner the better Gu,
forces are melting away. and If we are to
reform our broken lines we gain nothing
by delay" s'i-,.
You cannot have growth without or
ganization. and you cannot expect or
ganization before the party declares iSs
future policy. II our party should de-
clare for fusion, there would be no need
for organisation. We would disband
and there would frbe no more Populist
party. -q.a!,.-

DEPARTMENT STORES.

A friend writes and asks us our Opin-
ion of department stores, and the heated
discussions which have arisen concern
ing them.
We have taken no part in the fight
We are sorry for the sufferings of the
small dealers and the owners of store
buildings; it is hard ON them; and yet
all this trouble is due to the misgovern-
ment which has been brought upon the
country by the money power, and which
no class has done so much to cause and
uphold as the so-called business men"
When the masses Of the people are re-
duced to pinching poverty they are COM
PEELED to make the little money they
have go as far as possible; and it would
be great hardship to force the victims
of bad legislation to pay 81 for an arti-
Gle which they can buy elsewhere for Is
cents. 1t would be simply taking one
fourth of their reduced incomes to help
out the small dealers and property
holders on the main streets, and these
are the very chaps who have been boy
cotting Populist papers because they ad-
vocated policies which would have given
abundant prosperity to all men, and not
force them to all sorts of close listed
economies lh-ri'3H- oAs'
When you drive the people to dhfSver-
sal poverty you must expect that they
will insist on their right to buy in the
open market at the lowest prices possi-
BILE, no matter whom it hurts.
The country merchants also claim that
they have an inalienable right to mo-
nopolize the trade of those living
