HOW TO JUDGE A GOOD POPULlST.

HOW TO JUDGE A GOOD POPULlsT.
We notice that few Populst papers
are spending their whole time in quar-
relling with each other. We will guar
antee that the circulation of these pa
pers is not increasing. They are dis
gushing their readers, and they GER
tainly cannot gain new readers or win
new converts from the two old parties
while they are fussing, instead of dis
cus>ing principles and showing why
our party is right. Let each one of US
prove how good POpulist he ia by the
nun Der of recruits that his work and
influence brings into the party. Let
every Popullst paper use all of its time
and space in advocating our principles
and showing how they will remove the
causes of hard times aud restore pros
perity and good government. Let US
use every opportunity to show how de-
preston and falling prices have been
brought about by the blundering policy
of the two old parties. A POpulis,
paper that does this will b. doing thu
best service for his party and country
and will not find time to quarrel will

FUSION TO HELp mOxupoLtEs.

The majority Of the representatives
Of the Dem ocratic and Republicans in
the last G eneral Assembly fused on the
most important questions before the

nopo!y and to rob the people. Will
these two parties fuse in this State in
the next campaign upon the orders of

THE PATH or IUIY POINTS THIS
WAY.

The CAUCASIAN regrets to see that
some OF the Populist papers that were
at the Kansas City reform press meet
ing, and some of those that were at the
Memphis meeting are devoting their
time and space to criticising and
auarreling with each other. This Is
worse than foolish, and every paper
should at once prove that it is good
Populist paper bx stopping such folly.
We regret that there are two organiza-
tions instead Of one. But we wish to
remind each one Of these papers that
there are five times as many POpulist
papers in the United States that do
not belong to either one of these or
CARNATIONS as there are papers in
both of them combined. Let the pa
pers of each of these organizations vie
with each other in building up the
party in their respective States and
sections This is the way to prove
which are the best and truest Popu-
list papers. Do this for the next year,
and then let these Reform Press or
CARNATIONS agree to both meet next
spring at the same time and place, and
invite the fifteen hundred Populist
papers that do not belong to either
to meet with them to form one grand
united and aggressive national Press
Association. Let US do this next spring
on the eve Of the next campaign, and
we will go into the fight united, with
renewed life and with more vigor and
enthusiasm than has been seen since
the organization Of the party. In
this way, and in this way alone, can
our reform papers increase their cir
culation and extend their influence.
In this way, and this way alone, can
our party push its principles and win
recruits from the rank and file Of the
old parties. The path of duty points
this way. This is the road TO victory.
Let every true Populist r"pr fall in
line.
