THE DOOM OF THE POPULIST
PARTY.

N. A. Dunning, one of the most
prominent lights of the old farmers
alliance and Populist parties, will sup
port Mckinley. He has prepared an
address to the thinking element of the
Populist party, in which he points out
the Inconsistencies of Bryan's political
course, and reyives interest in matters
which were in danger of being forget
ten by those with whom he was for
merly affiliated. Dunning was the edi-
tor of the National Economist, the Or
gan of the national farmers alliance.
He refused to be sold to the Demo-
Gratis with that paper, and started the
National Waterman, with Hon. Thorn
as Watson, of Georgia. nominated for
vice president by the Populists in 1896.
He continued as the editor and pr0pri-
etor of the Waterman until went into
socialism and was sold to Senator
Stewart, Of Nevada. In his reference
to the Populist party Mr.. Dunning
says:
You ask about the Populist par
ty. Well, there has been no real
Populist party since 1892. 1t died
at it's birth; since that time 1t has
been used as trading stock by such
political harlots as Senator Allen,
Marion Butler and others OF that
stripe. There is scarcely a state,
county or precinct where it has not
been placed on the auction block
and sold to the highest bidder.
This trade and decker, fusion
fraud, originated in Nebraska, and
the destruction of the Populist par
ty dates from that event. Mr.. Bry-
al and his fellow conspirators i'm
agine the old alliance men ana
Populists will support him as III
1896. In this they are mistaken,
as the numerous letters am dally
receiving from these people clearly
indicate. In 1895 they were deceiv-
ed, caught in a trap and deceived.
They followed free coinage anu
voted accordingly. Since then con-
ditions have radically changed, anu
the sole remaining relic OF the
campaign of 1896 and all its issues
is centered in the personality OF
Mr.. Bryan himself. He has thrown
every demand of pouplism to the
dogs and Is asking the support OF
Populists on the assumption tnal
he might, il elected, betray nis
democratic supporters and give
them a show. Mr.. Bryan may
catch the trafficking Populists
with this political shell game, put
he will be repudiated by all hones1
men who joined the party from
principle. In the north n Yves.
