THE PoPULIsT MOVEMENT.

Congressman Ollie James will have TO
hike himself to the woody dells this
fall to bold his job. His erstwhile allies,
the Popuists, are after his scalp.
For the past eight years the Populists
in the First District have caused the
Democrats no trouble. The two parties
and their platforms became so similar
that the Populists readily consented TO
support the Democrats, and have done
it until the Democrats this year put
out goldibug ticket on a sound money
declaration. The Pops. draw the line
at that, and will have a candidate of
their own for congress this fall.
They expect not only to poll large
per cent. of former Populists in the dis
triet, but all those free silver Democrats
who refuse TO capitulate to the Cleve-
land Hill Belmont faction, as well. How
many here are OF these Populists and
disgruntled Democrats remains to be
seen. There are enough, however TO
give Congressman James few bad half
hours when he thinks about it.
In 1894. Ben Keys, running on the
Populiai ticket polled over 10000 votes.
Since then there have been no races,
it is claimed, in which the Populists took
much interest. This year the party
leaders seems 10 see ray of light, and
will make vigorous fight TO gather
into the fold their own adherents, as
well as the free silver Democrats.
Congressman James, who has been
east basking in golden sunshine on the
plutocratie shores of fashionable summer
resorts, has heard the news and will
hasten home to begin speaking Septem-
Der 2, in Livingston county. IL will be
interesting to hear how he explains
what's the matter with Democracy.
