The Political Weather Makers.

Republican, politicians are meet
ing in state conventions and are
resolving that the prosperity Of the
country is due solely to them, and
|thatthe way to keep prosperous Is
to >keep,them iu.ofice. Democratic
politicians are likewise meetingand
are resolving that the prosperity is
due to the people, the unequal di-
vision oft to the republicans, and
that its continuance can be- insured
only by tarning the republicans out
and putting democrats in. And the
populists are assembling and are
saying that prosperity is q delusionn 9
which can be changed intQa reality
only by putting populisas at the
fhelm.
