The POpnlistS are very accommodate
ing. Last year they united with the
Bryanites and helped to carry Virginia.
This year they propose to unite with the
same party, but they demand a slight
consideration. Not that they regard
the lieutenant gOvernorship as big pay,
but tits recognition. It's an acknowl-
edgement OF obligation. 1t is saying to
the pODulist party that we are in sweet
accord. 1t is an admission that while
heretofore the democrats OF Virginia
have said very harsh things about the
populists. that they are now willing to
TO take it all back, and while standing
upon platform that was first promul-
gated by the populists, they are willing
to recognize the original prOpagatOrs of
that doctrine as brethren. They want
to dwell together in sweet concord.
The question is "Will they do it:' we
do not believe that they will. The
Bryanites have no offices to spare They
want them all from that of village
councilman to that of Governor of the
State. The populists are good people
so long as they will vote with them, but
when they demand any of the offices
they will be notified that they are
getting out OF their sphere. The motto
Of the modern politician is; All for us
and none for thee
Capt. Edmond f. Cooke may pose as
the populist candidate for lieutenant
governor, hut he will get no such re-
cognitlon as that from the Bryanites.
They have men Of their own, who are
ready to WELD the gavel. They mast
have the offices, for il there be no public
plumber there will be nothing to hold
this party together. They cannot afford
TO thus dispose OF their most valuable
assets. 1t is true that it is not much OF
an office, but it il an Office and Offices
are what this combination most desires.
