The principles of the Peoples Par
~ will continue TO grow in public
favor, for they are the very essence
OF J a rsonisn Democracy.
Mr. Bryao, in great measure,
stood Tor our prime pies. bat his de
feat WAS compass. d by the treachery
Of prominent iadiy iduals within bis
own party, who declared puolicly
that they would support him, yet SO
cr.tly stabbed him.
Toe Cleveland element in the Dem
ocratic party have been strong
enough to defeat Brysn 10 two cleo
tons. Thy, no doubt, "played him
false" again. In some states the
Clevt laudITes held high q I'll ,lsl posi-
uons IN the Democratic party, hav
lug, IN any Instances, the conduct
Of the Bryan campaign. These men
did not have the love OF Bryan 10
their hearts, and they real z I'd thal
il he we're defeated again they could
sidetrAek him tor all future time
This was their opportunity and they
seized it.
Bryan was defeated, but the Popu-
list principles which bo advC G ,ttd
will be stronger In the mex! ca npa & u
than ever before.
Defeat for them can only be tenn
porary. TIE Cleveland element will
be compelled to seek other quarters,
or they will obtain entire control OF
the machinery and policy of the
Democratic party.
But the principles Of the Peoples
Party will continue to gain strength
whatever happens.
L. has been proven, by two Presi
Dental elections, that there is nc
chance for the Democratic party t.
win, for that party permit its trail:
ors 10 take too prominent a part il
it's political management.
Toe masses will have no faith in
DEMOCRATIC professions. Their acts
do not tally with their protestations
There are too many false and discor'
