Democrat, was honored ca in Irish Bos-
ton by 1855 votes, while Mr.. Quincy re-
ceived 39,7O7, and has built up power

Is vivid reminder of the efficiency of
trimming in politics. Mr.. Pomeroy must
be- stupid if he expects that such a mayor
will go to Buffalo to take directions
from Geo. Fred Williams, whose name is
also inserted. Fool away your time and

experience will teach you that you had
better remained on the Omaha platform
than go sky-larking.

have the deepest sympathy with men of
| the Peoples party, and any other party who
! find 1t impossible to unite with the corrupt
| machines Of another party in their state or
neighborhood. and who therefore object to a
| national union with such party by the party
| to which they belong. l think free silver
mistake and that the union with the DEM
| Ocratic party on that issue was mistake
/ L am inclined to believe that the fusion with
the Democratic party was on comparative
| ly unimpOrtant issue. 1t should not have
| usurped the attention Of the people to any
| thing like the extent it did. Whatever
action may be taken, let us all keep sweet
| and remember that there is nothing that

Ir regard to your favor l would say that
I do not regard it as the business of the
| Christian minister ordinarily to advocate
any political measures whatever. l regard
| the religious orga nizatio as called to sup
| ply an increase in the spirit Of love. AS
! friend of mine says ANY government
! would be good enough for brothers, as
| would rather put 1t, Brothers would be
| sure OF having the very best government
| 1t is the work of the statesman to develop
| forms Of government. 1t is the business
| of the church to supply such spirit that
! these forms shall be righteous and for the
| benefit of all the people
Sincerely yours,

| PROF. ELY SAYS DROP ALL MONEY
PLANKS
| Editor Organization Coiumn-It seems to
| ne most unfortunate to put money planks
| into platforms. l do not believe anything
| beneficial and lasting will be accomplished
| by party which makes theories concern
| ing money the main portion Of its platform
| In fact, I think that the reform forces of
| the country are not likely to make Roadway
| until they drop altogether the demand for
| free coinage of silver and for practically
unlimited issues of paper money. 1t has
| seemed to me that the course followed by
! the English Fabian sociey is most INSTRUCT
! i've. This society is composed of handful
! of men who have accomplished really re-
| markable results, and these results | attri-
| butte to the fact that it's members are thor
| oughly trained in economics, and that they
. very carefully consider each step forward.
! and take no step which afterWard they are
obliged to retrace RICHARD T. ELY.
