Strange SoEc:tude.
m the Los Angeles Herald.

It is amusing, these days, to read
tho fatherly advice which IS being
rendered to the Peoples party by
the Republican newspapers. 1t
may seem strange that This advice
IS confined solely to the question,
fusion, but such is the fact. To
,soch an extent have these papers
carried the mattertha they have
become wearisome, dwelling upon
the dolefnl calamit;es which vii
surely oyertake the Peoples party
if it joins ia a union ticket with
the Democrats. They have even
troubled themselves to rQnsack
history, and relate sorrowful tales
Of the gradual but constant de-
! cline of the Peoples party Ia num-
bers through the baleipl influences
Of lusion. Aud finally they have
iutimated that if the Peoples party
fuses once more it will be ''goodby
Peoples party" and oh, how sad
the Republican party will be!
The latest chapter Of advice
comes from the TTp'a of this cit,
add according to established pl e.
ccdents, it prophes'os destruction
and death to the Peoples parry II
it shall be so foolish as to join in
another coalition, and proceeds to
play the party Of undert~ ker by
making the necessary funeral al.

PopuIist friend.
