THE COMMONER'S VIEW.


The last issue of The Commoner
contains a caustic criticism of the
Henver conference by the editor, Mr..
Bryan, and, with fatherly sympathy
offers gratuitously lot of second
hand advice to the "few misguided re-
formers" who composed that confer
ence. After quoting the address sen.
out by the conference, he proceeds to
clssect it as follows: (Quotin.s from
The Commoner.)
This criticism will no doubt sound
strange to such members of the con-
terence as ex-senator Allen, Attorney
General Calderhead, Editor Tibties of
Inc independent and others who in
the last campaign were firm friends of
bryan and the fusion movement.
hese men were honest when they ad-
Sccated fusion. They are honest now
when they say they see no hope for
reform in either of the old parties.
They are reformers first. before being
partisans. To say the least of it. it
is unliind in Mr.. Bryan to charge them
with being secret allies of the repub-
lIcanS.
An alliance in one campaign does
not signify an alliance permanent. To
oppose the reorganized demo cracy
Goes not imply an alliance with the
republicans.
The Denver conference did not as
ST me the authority to promulsate a
Platform, nor did it in any way en-
croach upon the regular organization

advisory and simply Indicates to the

tnat there will be ticket in the field
III 1904, standing on a platform built
without the aid of either of the old
parties, which any believer in the
Kansas City platform or the Omaha
demands, can heartily support with
out compromising his principles or
stultifying his intelligence.-Col Mil

NOT OFFENDED.

Fusion between populists and dem
ocrats seems to be the order in the
various Nebraska counties. This is the
wise conclusion of the rank and file;
it is also distinct snub to the Allen
Foynter aggregation, who imagine
that party name is all, principle moth
ing.-Wahlquist Bros, in Democrat,
Hastings, Neb.
The "Allen-Poynter aggregation" are
by no means offended by the "snub."
Populists and democrats in the various
counties can take care of their own
affairs. If they want to fuse or not,
that is their business. What the "Al-
len-Poynter aggregation" do remem-
Ter, however, and thousands Of pop
ulists with them-is the distinct
Stub which was administered by the
democratic national convention at
Kansas City whe1 Charlie Towne was
turned down, and they are simply paw

uphill business and there were un-

feeling in favor of socialism, Wrong
again. There was no strong feeling
