DObbyn's Catnip Fit.


In the last issue of his paper Prof.
Dobbyn says: tn9
MARK WE'LL THE DISLOYALISTS.
"The man who will place any obsta-
Gle in the way of union of all political
forces which protest against the ruinous
rule Of monopoly and the Republican
party, whether he knows it or not. is an
emissary of mammon, an agent OF pluto
cracy and an ally of the demon Of dis
sension and destruction in American
politics. He is doing the dirty work OF
the hydra headed monster of selfishness
and ought either to be enlightened or
suppressed"
Monopoly and the Republican party
is far-fetched, while suppressed" ex-
poses the teeth of a man politically as
dangerous as a dog suffering with the
rabies. While we probably all admit
that the Republican party is the father
of monopoly yet many Of us refuse to
see nothing but evil in the party and
/ trust that very, very few are so mar
row minded egotistical and selfish tina:
they want every man Suppressed" who

does not think exactly as they do. Dob
byn forgets that we are not living in the
days Of John Calvin and that to advo-
cate the suppression Of a man for
political independence nowadays is as
reprehensible as it was to burn the man
at the stake when the religious fanatics
were in the height of their glory What
a pity that Dobbyn did no live in those
bloodthirsty days. suppose he would
have only been too willing to touch the
torch to the faggots which burned Seve-
tus about $780, but doubt if his courage
would have allowed him to go further
than Trie did.
Free Silver Republicans are a fair
sample of modern C.'s, while Dobbyn' s
clique are but poor imitators of Trie.
If all the monopolists were in the Re
publican party we should hear nothing
of free coinage of silver Is to 1, and the
Peoples Party and Democratic party
would not be acting as tails to the FREQ
Silver Republican kite. Iowa is fair
sample of what traitors Of the Butler,

platform is concerned. If the Mime
sofa Pops" wish thus to be served
up to the party which lacked the
courage of It's convictions, then let them
follow the advice of Dobbyn, ct al. But
if the Peoples Party truly stands for the
Omaha Platform as. a whole they will
not longer wink at the folly of playing
second fiddle to- the silver cranks. July
4th will doubtless find several Mime

ander j. McIvor Tyndall, the famous
English mystic, will begin weeks en-

will illustrate thought reading, mesmer-

McIvor Tyndall, blindfolded and under

power within man that is not generally
understood.

A Hot One for the COwen-Dobbyn

Editor Representative
The man who claims that reformers
captured the machinery of the Demo-
cratic convention at Chicago, who de-
nounces as agents of plutocracy and al
lies of dissension and destruction in
American politics those who differ from
him; who terms "unWarranted" the ac-
ton of that noble band of patriots, the
Reform Press Association, in calling a
convention of Peoples Party men at
Nashville, who claims the action of the
majority of the Peoples Party delegates
to the last national convention as be-
ing patriotic and dominated by princi-
ples who claims as convert to Peo-
pies Party principles as party that
could demand all paper money be re-
deemable in coin and nominate pluto
crat to the second highest place in it's
gift, who claims that the forces that
gave Bryan these votes are united on
the great fundamental principles that
underlie the progressive movement of
the era; who claims as traitorous, ac-
ton on the part of the Peoples Party
men toward defending each and every
one of the fundamental principles of
their party, or comforting as to the best
way to save from absorption the only
political organization that has ever seri-
Ously threatened the continuance of the
present unjust, unholy and damnable
economic system, and who denounces as

cipal elections that were held this
spring are all credited to Democracy,
whilst the Peoples Party is never men
toned.
We can cheerfullyi submit to, and we
are willing to enjoy the 'honors il they
will only give tho people some benefit,
but it is a notorious fact that where
Democratic victory Was secured, the re-
suits are practically in line with Re-
publican methods, Of in other words, il

ocracy, in others, If It Il necessary. they
shout Republicanism.- because the two

The true Populist Is ready to submit
to honest methods of election but should
resent all foul means, because if dis
honesty is used to elect, no honest ad-
ministration, or honest laws can be ex-
pected to be enacted.
Though the people of this country are
oppressed by monopoly and corporations
it appears that the worst elements are
to be found among the so-called re-
formers, such as those that are now
so industriously seeking a conference

prove of no benefit since the Peoples
Party is fully organized and no power
on earth can dissolve it only in conven-

pay the expenses connected with such a

that loyal reformers will not assist it.
Then who will? Is it not Mark Hanna
It is certainly not necessary to con-
fer for the purpose of formulating a
platform because the Omaha platform is
good enough for any reformers. Then

The Peoples Party is not dead, nor
dying, but is increasing in number, with
Republican confidence and prosperity

welded to old party methods, if not to
an old party. There IS not a shadow Of
a doubt but that Independent action by
Peoples Party men will weaken the
prestige of the national committee with
the Democratic party, by throwing a
doubt of It's ability to deliver the goods
when it comes to bargain; hence the
vehement opposition of national COM
mitteemen. The motives of the men
who inaugurated this great reform
document around which nearly two mil
lion voters in this country rallied, the
Omaha Platform, and who now hope to
meet again at Nashville on July can
not be successfully questioned. 1t is
useless for anyone to attempt to divine
unselfish motives whose natures know
not the meaning Of the term. If there
is an honest reformer who can afford
the expense, hope he will ignore the
slur that some parties throw out to the
effect that the Nashville convention is
the work of Plutocracy, attend and as
