WHO ARE THE POPULISTSs

az AAsE1
J. R. Lowe, Populist nominee for
congress in the Third district. in his
paper, the Jeffersonian, comments on
the Peoples Party state convention as
follows:
The men who made the party in this
state are the boilers. The leading men
who engineered the convention are place
hunters, looking for pie and are expect
ing reward should the Democrats reach
power in 1900
Mr.. loves statement is true not only
of Minnesota but holds good throughout
the nation.
In 1884 our party in round numbers
could count two million voters, all of
whom were stalwart Populists. These
men had renowned allegiance to both
the old parties and subscribed to our
platform including direct legislation
and greenbacks and cast their fortunes
with us not for offices but for battle,
and these are the men who today con-
stitute the Peoples Party. They are
the charter members, the founders, tho
defenders of the party and its principles
and the boilers from every fusion con-
vention.
From 1894 to 1896 about three million
Democrats repudiated the Cleveland ad-
ministration. They hated Populism and
Popu1ists, they were Democrats still in
all except their Endorsement of Cleve-
land. They were renegades elected
from their political home. They &C
copied our hospitality with a sheer and
sniff. In 1896 we gave them shelter
and pie and in return they seek to de-
stroy us. These men have constantly
opposed direct legislation, greenbacks
and government ownership of public
utilities and the election of Populists to
legislative offices, and no Populist legis-
lator has ever been elected by their.
votes. When the recent war revenue
bill was passed, of the 81 Democratic
senators Is stood 5, opposed to green
backs and silver and favored bonds, and
the Minnesota so-called reformed Demo
cracy in specific language indorse their
action as follows in plank 8, of their
state platform: q
; III.
We commend as wise, patriotic and
brave the action of our Democratic SEN
ators and representatives in congress and
We confidently trust them in all the trying
emergencies Of the hour to preserve the
peoples rights while they uphold the coun-
try's honor. In the momentuous struggle
in which we are now engaged, every re-
source, moral and material should be
employed in vigorous prosecution of the
war to & triumphant conclusion. When
our country is engaged in a foreign con-
fict. political partisanship should be mere,-
ed into united and enthusiastic support of
all measures necessary for the success of
American arms.
Populists should study carefully the
foregoing plank. 1t is an eye peeler.
The Democratic state platform strad-
dies direct legislation as follows:
Ninth-We recommend that within rea-
sonable limitations the principle of direct
legislation be applied.

Mr.. w. I. Herbert went to Colum-

Mr.. Editor, we think some OF your

terprisc and ability in getting out late
news are not cXccllcd by the most
wide-awakc editor in the State. land
we are now thinking of Editor Aull as
among the foremost.) After the edition
of the Medium had been printed last
night the fire occurred at the cotton
mill. She wrote, set up and printed a
nice account Of the fire, and pasted the
strip on each copy Of the paper. The
news was not, of course, of great i'm
portance, but the tact, enterprise and
newspaper spirit were there all the
same. AS an editor she dcservedly
stands in high regard by the readers
of the Medium, and the brethren Of the
press readily acknowledge her high
merits as an editOr.-Press and Ban

plished daughters. The editor OF the
