An Admirable Article.

lowing excellent article on the subject
OF Socialism. which we hope all our SUBJ

OF Eugene v. Brewster, and 1t clearly
sets forth the difference between Popu-
lism and Socialism.

The ticket nominated at Cincinnati is
the best one ever placed before the Peo-
pies party of this nation. 1t is fully
the equal of any ever put up by any
party. Personally the gentlemen named
are very able and very clean men. With
their names at no time in their history
has the least breath Of scandal ever
been connected. Against them not one
word may be said. But their qualities
are not merely negative. Both of them
have been men of great affairs in our
country. Both are highly educated and
have used their abilities for the bet
terment of their fellow men. They are
broad-minded in their views and are
gentlemen Of the highest class Of
American manhood.
Mr.. Barker has long stood In the very
forefront in Pennsylvania and has been
active in public matters. Few men
have exercised so wide an influence in
that great state and his power has been
exerted for good, He did what he
could to wright the wrongs done the
people. AS Republican he was ever
In favor Of correcting the errors which
so oppressed labor Realizing that his
efforts were futile in that party of
criminal aggression" he came where
he might labor for humanity with some
hope of accomplishing good. He came
without other ambition than this when
our. party was at its lowest ebb, and
we have honored him with our choice
for the highest position on earth-the
presidency of the United States.
OF Ignatius 'Donnelly, nothing need
be said further than we all know. OF
ability which places him in the front
rank of great men, he has always been
OF us and for us. No man possesses
more the love of his party associates
and the esteem of the whole people. An
earnest man and full of good works is
he. Grown old in the service of his
FELLOW men he yet possesses the vigor
OF young manhood, and will continue
his labor to uplift mankind
In all the conventions of this year
no better, truer, manlier men will be
placed before the people for their suf-
frage and we invite all to consider
Wharton Barker, of Philadelphia, and
1gnatius Donnelly, of Minneapolis,
and say by your ballots that these are
worthy of the highest honors.

Economist, Windre. Ga.
The national convention Of the Peoples
Party met At Cincinnati on Wednesday OF
last week and was in session two days.
1t was largely attended by tried and true
Populists from all over the union, by men
who are In earnest and who conscientiously
believe that the principles for which they
stand are just and right and for the good
of humanity-especially the great common
people. We never saw a body of repre-
sentative men, composing all classes and
professions, but a majority of whom were
farmers, who were more determined, earn
est and sincere than those who met together
in national convention at Cincinnati last
week to pledge anew their allegiance to a
cause which to a patriot is as dear az life
itself. 1t was no convention controlled by
money combines professional politicians
and thugs. Georgia received her share Of
the honors Of the convention. Col. w. L.
Peek having been elected permanent chair
man, and Gen. VIM Philips placing in nom
nation Mr.. Barker as our candidate for
president.
We met many men from different Sec
tions of cur great country at Cincinnati of
who we will ever have pleasant recollec-
tions. Men who are brave and true to their
convictions and will ever stand by those
convictions

Wharton Barker is one of the most
experienced men in public affairs the
party has been one who has dealt with
nations In q business way. He comes
from an old family Of ship builders and
financiers and has seer much of Russia,
China and the european business
affairs.
1gnatius Donnelly should really have
headed the ticket, being best known,
both to the Populists and to the people
and his ability is second to no man any
where. However, the fate of politics ID

AS anticipated, the ticket selected by
the anti-fusion Populists at the national
convention, at Cincinnati. Ohio, last
week, proved to be Wharton Barker, of
Pennsylvania, for president, and Igna-
thus Donnelly, Of Minnesota, for vice.
president. In selecting a ticket COM
posed of POpulists the convention did
exactly what it was expected to do. The
platform adopted is clear-cut declara-
ton for recognized Populist principles
and demands. The fusionists at Sioux
Falls nominated w. J. Bryan, of Nebras-
ka, for president. and Charles A. Towne,
OF Minnesota, for yice;president, both
able and eloquent men, of course. but
the first is Democrat and the other a
Silver Republican. :, If there were a

OF all other shades, of political belief,
the generous-hearted fusionists perhaps
would feel like squeezing in some Pop
ulist at the rear end. and so offer the
people for their consideration a political
crazy quilt combination worthy of the
gathering. The convention should not
be centured, however. for 1t did the best
1t could in scattering gifts. considering
the limited number it had to bestow. :.

Party and the Comments ON the Cam
didaiesy
(True Populist,l Omaha, Neb.)
The nomination of Barker and Dom
nelly will meet with the; approval of all
true Populists. Both men represent all
that is best in the Peoples party move
ment. Wharton Barker stands for the
idea of government legal tender paper
money as against the idea OF redemption
money. He is also in favor of direct
legislation and government ownership
of all public utilities. He is man who,
should he be elected to the presidency,
would discharge the duties of the Office
in a manner BETTING true servant
of the people.
Ignatius Donnelly, our nominee for
vice-president, is so we'll known to Pop
ulists as to make extended reference to
him unnecessary. He is an advanced
thinker and scholarly gentleman. His
many contributions to literature have
made his name familiar in every part of
the civilized world. Populists may rest
assured that their national nominees
will be the peers of any men who may
be named by the old political parties.

Wheeling, w. Va, Feb. 23.-Wheel-
