THERE 10 now considerable discus
sion of the future Of the peoples party,
It's course and action. There are some
unreasonable democrats who are In
sIsting that the populists shall disband
their party and cast their lot with the
democrats of the nation, There are
several good reasons why this should
not be done or attempted, First Of
them is because II cannot be done,
Should 1t be attempted fully fifty per.
cent Of the party would resent the op.
peration and withdraw from both par
ties, probably alllgning themselves for
the most part with the socialists, An
other reason is that the democratic
party, nationally is still on probation
with practically all the populists, So
far 1t has lived o good, consistent life
aud followed the straight and narrow
path as with a pure heart, But strug-
gle with the evil forces is ranking
within It's breast and 1t is by no means
impossible that the next national
convention might be 80 packed with
trust funds as to turn the party back
to its flesh pots and It's vOmit. Popu-
lists shouldandwill preserve their organ
i2ation TIL after this conflict is over,
However there Is no danger Of the de.
fection Of the democrats of Kansas.
They are at one with US on nearly all
our measures and are getting closer to
us on theories, There Is no excuse for a
division OF the forces In our local cam
paigns, simply because the republicans
have planed and arranged for such a
program. Radical expressions Of mid
road populists and straighout demo
Gratis should be discouraged, When
the time comes for nominations we be.
leve the conviction will gently settle
down over both parties that the way to
keep our principles alive and the agita-
tlon working will be to nominate in
precisely the same way we have Deen
doing, get together in convention and
ratify and certify the nominees as the
the Peoples Ticket" AS there will
be no national campaign till after the
thing will be fought out in the next
democratic national convention, and
the campaigns will be only local in
character, the democrats ought to be
willing to concede enough TO give up
their party name on the ballot, If the
populists do the same,
