Wharton Isarker's BOlters.

Great Falls Newsi
The Philadelphia American comes
this week freighted with fiagrantly
perverted report of the recent meeting
of the ,Populist National Committee
meeting-and pretending that the
Populists-the real POpulists-finally
organized q national committee and
will call national meeting at an
early date. The facts are-that there
were less than cOrpOraPs gaurd
who attended the meeting that was
falsely stated to be meeting
OF the "middle-of-the-rO e-rOaders"-and
these few a@tuated by the desire
to get control of committee
that could be called pOpulist, and to
call a national convention that will
nominate Wharton Barker for presi-
dent. The outfit do not care the snap
of finger for POpulist prlnciples-Or
any principles, for that matter-and
the party is we'll rid of the dishonest
incubus. These men attended the
national committee meeting demand
ed that in the future the national COM
mittee refrain from using It's influence
for fusion--that was granted. They
demanded that the POpulist national
convention be held before the conven-
tiOn of other parties-and that was
willingly granted. Then the real pur-
pose of this little cOterie OF wreckers
was revealed in demand for the un-
seating of Chairman Butler, and this
was refused by an Overwhelming 8
majority vOte--and then the outfit
bOlted-and showed their dishonest in.
tentiOns. The members of this little
clique should never again be allowed
to sit in pOpulist conference or con.
yention. They are for self first anl
principles and party after.

We like your paper very much, as
it continues to spread the light. Go
ahead, and shout your horn long and
loud, until every one from the great
lakes to the "Sunny South" and
from the roaring of Cape Hatteras
to the peaceful Pacific shall know
and realize how the masses of the
people have been treated and ig-
nored by the Cleveland-Ranso Co.
The people have at last begun to
read and think for themselves, and
are net 50 easily fooled as in the
days of yore. THE CAUCASIAN is to
be congratulated for the manner in
which it meets the argument of the
Democratic or Qawyer) convention.
Look here! cant they find moth
ing to fuss about only the negro
rule and white supremacy in North
Carolina Strange the old negro has
just begun to receive any attention
IN their papers.
If the people will just stand by
their party, the Peoples Party will
no doubt make a glorious victory in
the "Old North State" this year. We
would advise them to stick to their
motto. "In union there is strength y
Much success to You and your noble

From the ringing words from such
editors as Tracy, Bentley, Pyle, Allen
and host of others we can but in
fer that the result of the Omaha meet
ing on June 18th was accepted in good
faith by the Texas editors in attend
ance. Every paper coming to this
office from this State so far has been
unanimous in it's expression that the
results of the meeting, while not fully
what they wanted, is satisfactory.
As for ourselves we can see no good
to result to the party by a cOntinua-
tion of this internecine warfare on
each other by POpulists.

The Charlotte Observer, commenting
upon the meeting Of the National Com

and the action of the few Republican
assistants who bolted the action of the
committee and called convention
this fall, says, with great satisfaction,
that the Populist party is split wide
open. This is just such split as oc-
curredi in the Democratic party when
Bryan was nominated. The element
that slumped Off is just the kind of ell
ement that followed Cleveland and put
up Palmer and Buckner. OF course
the Charlotte Observer thinks that
bOltlng element in both cases is the
most respectable.
