else. 1t is better for people to ray
now what they want, than TO wait
until 1t Is too late. It's easy for a
man In the Senator's position to
make mistakes as people like to tell
him what they think he wants to
hear.
1t will be impossible to organize
the next time on the lines laid down.
Soldiers will not follow a General
In battle the second time, who will
deliberately desert them on the first
round. think the democrats can
afford to build a monument to the
handful Of Gold Democrats, flirting
with the Republican party in order
to break it up. If they were honest
and really wanted the Republicans
to win they would not require the
party to kick out all Of their old !
time followers before they come in.
Democrats are well known to have
"cheek, !" but do not believe there /
il anybody on earth but democaat |
that would have the "cheek" to tell |
the party that they have been fight
ing, all their lives. l am wrong;
/ have been voting with the demo-
Gratis, feel that my course will
ruin the country and | want to vote
the Republican ticket hereafter. 1t
is right, and although I have acted
the fool heretofore voting against
my interests. Yet you must kick
two thirds of your followers out of
your party-whO we say have not
sense enough to vote although we
admit they have exercised better
judgment than we have-before we
can como in, and then we will only
agree to vote your national ticket
where we are not needed by you,
following Will o. the Wisp after
the road is travelled to the end and
your party destroyed" 1t will be
enough to make devils laugh, and
what for? why should political
suicide be committed with Repub-
lIcan President, Congress, State and
United States Supreme Court: If /
was Republican Senator from this
state | would go to the President
and Congress and ask them for the
proper relief. They have ample
power and everybody knows it, and
if they refused it 1 would come
back to my people and let them
know that my party had forsaken
them, and l would organize to send
missionaries to every state in the
Union calling on the rank and file
to vote for any party that would
protect them. AS things are going
on it will ultimately come to this
any how unless some ring is done.
The POpulist joined in with the Re-
publicans because they thought they
stood for manhood suffrage and free
silver in this state. 1t seems the
leaders are trying to desert both
now. II this Is so, / do not see
what Populist is to gain, trying to
strengthen the Republican party.
1t seems TO me there never was a
better time to build up Populist
; principles. l believe we will get
every plank in our platform made
into laws, if we will keep on agitat-
iDg because they are eternally right
aud God reigns. Both the old part
les are fighting over planks in our
platform now. 1t is marvellous
how good they feel when they pass
one of our laws. Even the Repub-
licans have helped us to get Free
!, Rural Delivery and although the
4 good Lord and Chemistry nave
!, !, given us more gold, thereby putting
! more money in circulation, with a
! ! measure of prosperity and object
:, lesson from first hands, showing
how our platform would work if
made into laws. The Republicans
l are rolling this as sweet morse
and claiming the benefit of it. Lei
r us nave the views of the opposition
and agree upon some plan that will
. reasonably lead to success and if MOI
= certainly to build up our party.
