POPUL1STS MAKE DEMANDS
They Ask Speaker Reed for Recogni-
ton as g Party.

Washington, d. C., March 23.-The
Populists of the senate and house have
made a formal demand upon Speaker
Reed for representation as a political
party instead of as an integral portion
of the minority. This demand was pre-
scented to the speaker today by c. J.
Bell of Colorado and Senator Wv. Allen
of Nebraska.
THE failure of the speaker to recog-
nize this great party as a distinctive
party of the minority" they say, mas
worked great hardship on the mem
bers of the house and also upon their
constituency, which is one-fifth of the
population of the United States. The
Populist members were therefore com
PEELED to object to ali the legislation by
unanimous consent or permit the two
larger parties to get bills through with
their consent without any recognition
whatever for themselves
THAT in consequence the Democratic
and Republican parties had passed most
of the bills without the objections of
any Populist.
I'VE respectfully request that this
party be considered a distinct integral
part of the minority and be awarded
representation on the ways and means
committee, the judiciary committee, the
appropriation committee, and the bank
ing coinage and weight and measures,
elections committee and ether important
committees as a distinct party minori-
ty.''
