The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1900-10-27

seems to have demoralized the Pop
ulist convention and who have had
time for cool and mature delibera-
tom These Populists express
themselves in this way: Nov in
the name of all sincere Populists
and in the name of the principles
for which our party was organized,
we, the undersigned, earnestly and
solemnly protest against the contin-
uation of this system of political
combination which is destroying
the vitality Of our party and per-
verting the objects for which it was
established" There is an express
sion of "cool and deliberate" judg-
ment of the Populist voters and we
regret to say that it emphatically
contradicts Circular No. and
places the Hon, D. H. Andrews
and his unworthy Secretary in a
very unenviable position.
| It seems that Circular No. I did
not carry sufficient weight to mater.
| tally influence the reca1citrant Pop
ulists so Circular No. 2 was brought
out. This document is issued by
the Peoples Party National Com
mittee of Lincoln, Nebraska, the
home Of the Hon. William Jennings
Bryan, and sent out by J. H. Ed
misten, Vice Chairman, and duly
attested by the Secretary, and we
are glad to say that it is regularly
!. approved by D. H. Andrews afore.
mentioned, Circular No. 2 starts
out in this fashion: "Tothe Peoples
Party voters Of Idaho, "-Greeting
1t has been made known to this
Committee that certain nominees Of
: our party have been obstructing flu
) sion in the State of Idaho" evident
ly the Peoples Party National Com
nittee at Lincoln, Neb., never heart
! of the "heat of passion that demon
: allied the Peoples Party convention
t at Pocatello, or if that cheat" haG
t been heard Of the poor nominee
| would never have been centured
f The Circular goes on to placat'
, these supposed obstructionists b!
$ saying they may mean we'll Blu
: they are doingjust what the Repub
f leans desire" A propos of thi
! last statement we undertake to So,
that if they are doing what the Re
I publicans desire there is not tn
s slightestquestio Of their good inten
2 tons. In closing Circular No. 2
and we regret to say that we can
! not at this time give more than th
r opening and closing sentences, tn
e following cheering language is used
| We,send you tidings that all owe
f the nation our principles are march
ing onward and our cause is win
!. ming new recruits. Before tn
1 dawn of new century we will hav
= won the greatest victory for human
Il ity since that which Lincoln wo
4 in 1860. Is this not glory enoug
y to stir in the heart Of every Popv
e list determination to do his flu
e duty" Now it seems to us q 1ittl
s odd that in a circular complainin
O of dangerous OBJECTIONS in Idah
$ should appear the statement tina
n the Populist cause is winning me-
4 recruits all over the country. Thel
l. is one significant sentence in th
: closing paragraph which we thin
d it profitable to repeat. II is thi
. Before the dawn of new century
/. we will have won the greatest viz
d tory for humanity since that whic
10 Lincoln won in 1860" As q ma
3" ter of fact that is just what the mix
o ele-of-the-road Populists except I
$ accomplish is the absolute annihi
If alton of that dishonest and disr
If putable system of politics which hi
: corrupted every citizen who has e,
- er been connected with it. II
If real Populists of this State win hay
,e gained victory for true and earl
Ie est citizenship when they have wiz
