Over on the other side OF this old globe

such. for 100 years. During all the time
that the American voting king has been
carrying torches and following bands and
bowling himself horse for designing poll
ticians and selling his vote for glass of

their lives by the tens of thousands in a
slow and weary struggle toward their
higher ideal. At last when they were in

A STRONG LETTER, :
:. G. Bateman Exposes the
Buffalo Conference.

Editor Representatives notice that
our gifted leader, Ignatius Donnelly, is
somewhat exercised for fear that the Buff
falo conference will organize new party.
! am inclined to suspect that the bril-
liant author of THE Lost Atlantis is
greater as a statesman than he is as a
politician. The Buffalo conference will
organize no new party. 1t is not called
for any such purpose. 1t is Bryan
movement pure and simple. 1t is en-
gineered by Democrats and is entirely in
the interest of the Democratic party.
Bryan, Jones, Allen and the rest of the
gang are the men who originated the
scheme, and it was done to head off the
Barker and Donnely movement. The
design is to distract actual reformers and
give the impression that the Cincinnati
convention has no force or standing.
This is the only purpose of the Buffalo
meeting. Mr.. Donnely speaks of the
utility OF the Buffalo gathering 1t will
not be futile 1t is engineered by the
Keenest Democratic Politicians in this
country. 1t will start no new party but
devote its energies to belittling the. Bar
ker and Donnelly movement. That is its
only purpose
This Buffalo meeting is ostensibly lead
by Mr.. Eltweed Pomeroy. Mr.. Mot
Springer, of the Referendum. speaks of Mr..
Pomeroy as a Populist in disguise This
is an injustice Mr. Pomeroy is a genial
gentleman with a most charming per-
sonality. He is no hypocrite. and would
scorn to don disguise of any kind He
sails under no false colors. He is q
Democrat pure and undehled and makes
no pretense of being any thing else. His
part in the proceeding is in the interest
Of the Democratic party in general and
VIM. J. Bryan in particular. Let there
be no misunderstanding on that point
MIR. Donnelly is correct when he says
that liberty dies if the Peoples party dies
The only hope to save this great reform
movement is to let all such scheme.
alone and cling to our party and ou1
candidates. We are dealing with the abb
est. the shrewdest, and the most unprin
cipled politicians in America. No stone
will be LETT unturned to disrupt our forces

A QUESTION ANSWERED.
What Is the Name of Our Party.


DR.. H. B. Fay, City.
My dear Doctor:-In answer to your
inquiry, as to the pledge which you are
getting up for Our clubs and whether Our
organization should be denomnated
therein The Peoples Party or THE
Mid-Road Populist Party" or The Re-
organized Peoples Party l think we
should boldly take the position that ours
is the original Simon-pure Peoples Par
ty, organized at Omaha in 1902.
In this state this is very clear. The
Supreme Court of Minnesota decided, in
1893, that the fusion candidates could
only go upon the state ticket as the cam
dldates OF new party, called the ''Peo-
ple's-Democratic Party" They thereby
dissolved the Peoples Party proper, so
tar as the fusionists were concerned; and
we, as members Of the Peoples Party,
who had adhered to it's organization and
its principles, became the sole representa-
tlves, in this state, Of the National Peo-
pies Party OF the United States.
l do not think that either the Demo
cratic Party, or the fusion Peoples Par
ty, can get upon the state ticket, in 1900
without petition, except under the name
OF that new organization, the Peoples
Democratic Party" 1t would be impos-
slble for the Democrats to show that at
the last election, i'll 1898, they polled one
~ ~, -
for there was no purely Democratic ticket
in the field The same is true OF the
Fusion Populists who deserted the Peo-
pers Party, and entered into wedlock
with the Democrats.
The tact that we were compelled by the
laws OF the state to call ourselves Mid
road Populists, as the price of getting
-on the state ticket proves nothing; it was
an act OF legislative coercion, and not a
voluntary action upon our part. The
term "Mid-road Popuist'' was used for
that occasion alone, and for specific rea-
sons
The Peoples Party OF the United
States found itself in this dlernma:-it
believed that its national committee, or
majority OF them were in favor Of build
ing up the Democratic Party and tearing
down their own.
The right of self-preservation is the
first right OF everything that has an ex-
istence; and this right entitled the Popu-
lists OF the country to come together, at
Cincinnati, and re-organize on the basis
Of the Omaha platform. Now that
Texas, with its 200, 90 Populist votes.
has declared in favor OF the Cincinnati
action, and the whole South is follow
ing in the same line. the Fusionists will
have nothing to stand upon. There can
not be Peoples Party without the
South.
But while we stand by our rights in
this respect, we should hold out the hand
OF reconciliation and good will to every
man who was deluded into fusion. Many
honorable gentlemen honestly believed
that it was short cut to victory Events
have dissolved this deusion: and it is
time for all men. who are at heart. really
Populists, to get together and stand to-
gether to the end.
Very truly your friend,
Ignatius Donnelly.

FamiliaritY.

Living in Hawaii is not without it's
disadvantages. The natives have little
idea of respectful Difference, and insist
on calling their employers by their Chris
tan names.
''One lady who, upon her arrival, was
at once addressed as Jennie by the men
servants, expostulated with her sister for
allowing them to become thus familiar
She was assured that every effort had
been made = induce them to say Mr..
and Mrs, but this they steadily refused
to do.
No! Not' they said, too many
Smiths. too much Jones-you John and
Lizzie"
One Englishwoman was determined
that her servants should never address
her in the familiar fashion that other
white people had allowed to become COM
mon She, therefore, instructed her lus-
band never to mention her name in their
hearing.
One day this lady had some visitors,
ard to their great delectation the cook
put his head inside the door and asked
sweetly:
My love, what vegetables do you
want today?"
After that the Englisllwoman was con-
tent to be called simply Mary"
