A Bit of History.

The term, middle of the road" Popu-
lists, had its origin in Williamson
County, Texas. The year 1892 was the
first the Populists, or third parity, as it
was then called, became a factor in
Texas politics. In that year William
Shaw, Of Georgetown, conceived the
notion of becoming a candidate for JUS
tice of the peace. Uncle Bill" as he
was called, avoided a direct expression
of opinion concerning the new party,
but in the heat of the canvass a mass
meeting was called, at which the can
didates were expected to declare them
selves. Uncle Billy indiscreetly attend
ed the meeting, and as 1t was drawing
to q close Was called to the platform.
He made a few brief non-committal re-
marks, but some secret enemy called:
whats your politicsY' This was the
fated question that he had wished to
avoid, but there wa NJ escape now, SO,
facing the people, he said: Gentlemen,
you win always find Uncle Bill in the
middle of the road" His happy evasion
caught the people, and he was trium-
pudLp1y 0SSCOu dS mC hluule VI INC
reader. When the st. Louis Populist
convention nominated Bryan, Marion
Williams, editor of a Populist paper in
Georgetown, bolted the action of his
party, and through his party advocated
the calling of a convention and the
naming of another candidate who
would be, as he expressed it, 'like
Uncle Billy Shaw, strictly in the middle
of the road" The sobriquet as applied
by Williams was taken up by the press
and very quickly became a welldefned
term in current politics.

Mr.. William Moray, knocking at the
door of his brothers lodgings, at about
eight o'clock the same evening, is receiv.
ed by Mrs. Timson with q face of such
portentous gravity that he is fain to OBJ.
serve it.
Anything the matter?' he inquiries,
curiously.
Matter enough" is the answer. I've
kept a lodging 'ouse now, ON and off, for
the last two-and-thirty year, but never
in all my horned days did l ave such a
disgraceful scene On my premises as took
place ere last night"
Then she tells him the whole story,
winding up with the statement that De-
las left her husband. Almost before
she finishes Mr.. Moray has reached the
third landing. He turns the handle of his
brothers door and walks in. James is
seated at the table, only partially sober,
