ADDRESS TO POPULISTS.
Middle-Of-R Committee Appeals
for support for Barker and
DOnnelly.

Joe A. Parker and Secretary James
e. Mcbride today issued thefollowlng
address to the Populist voters of the
United States:
From its inception these Populists
who have opposed fusion have con-
tended that the fusion movement was
designed to destroy the Peoples party
organization and to deliver the honest
Populists of this country to theurgau-
lied Democracy. The advocates Ct
fusion have stoutly denied this: and,
while claiming to be Populists, have
worked upon the credulity of many
honest men, who earnestly desired
legislative relief, in order to lead
them at the oppoltune time into the
Democratic party.
at Kansas City Charles A. Towne
averred that he desired to declare
himself Democrat in 1896, but that
Mr.. Bryan and Chairman Jones adj
vised him not to do So but to con-
tinue to pose as a Silver Republican
so as to more eitectually lead Repub.
licans into the Democratic party. To-
day there are many so-called fusion
leaders posing as Populists with the
same purpose in view, acting simply
as decoya to draw true Populists into
the Democratic organization with the
knowledge and cooperation of the
Democratic managers.
The contention of Populists as
been fully provenby the acceptance 10y
the fusion committee, or what is left Of
it. OF Adai +. Stevenson, relict OF the
Cleveland administration OF mis-
fortune, Is their own nominee for
Nice-President, thus abandoning all
pretence of independence and be.
coming a part of the Democratic
machine.
The so-called fusion party today
stands without a nominee who ever
pretended TO be a'Populist: Practical
ly without organization and without
a following among the people save in
four or five close states where the
organization maintained as the only
hope of Democratic ascendancy.
We have declared that the indie.
pendent Peoples party shall continue
to live free from disreputable alliance
with the party of Jones and Croker on
the one hand, and the party of Hanna
and Quay on the other. There is in
the field this year a true Populist
organization, oticered by men who
have been true to the principles and
organization of the party az all times,
and who can be relied upon to keep
the grand old flag of Populism flying
in spite of the Vaccinations of schem-
ers and spoilsmen To the support of
this ticket and the genuine organiza-
ton already organized by the law, of
thirty-one states a- the true Peoples
party. we earnestly invite the efforts
of all who i'm the past have favored
fusion as matter of eNpediency, but
who are opposed To- being delivered To
the organized Democl ~. Repudiate.
ON the honor of PopuiistS, this effort
TO sell you, to exchange You for q
cabinet position, few revenue col
lector,hips, few senator,hips and a
few minor Jobs for cheaper men. Pop
ulists, stand up ioryoW organization,
your principles aud your honor. lie,
US roll up such vote for Barker and
Donnelly, as the representatives, of
true Populism, free from the faint OF
political prostitution, as to command
the future OF this nation and place oul
party on the highway to victory.
