can party still represents centralized
power, corporate control; III a word,
organized wealth.
The reform forces represent that class
Of people who are preyed upon by
organized wealth. In 1000 there must be
fusion of The elements opposed to the
Republican party. I don't think party
lines were broken by Tuesdays defeat.
There may be little panic now, but the
lines will be reformed under the same
banners. The Democratic party will not
absorb the Populist. It is necessary to

their breasts, and while they will vote
against the Republican party, many will
not vote Democratic ticket.
BRYAN AND FINANCE" IN 1000.

plank containing what free silver in

to win, but it will be no bed of roses for
them. Stanley will be handled by the
politicians, that goes without evidence.
The canvass the man made is evidence
enough. He is weak. He wobbles.
Look how he played between prohibition

politicians and they will run him. But
if by some chance he sets his face against
them, then a monument ought to be
built to him.
