NEWARK. y. J.. Aug. ct II. Tib-
bies, editor of the Independent" the
leading PopuIist organ. and his party's
candidate for the Vice Presidency OF the
United States. today declared at Lin
coin. Neb. in an interview with J. Mar
Tin Miller. that the Populist party is
more alive that it ever has been. and
that it proposes to invade every State
OF the Union in the most active cam
paign the third party has ever made.
X was with great emphasis and con-
siderable detail that Mr. Tibbles talked
OF the proposed campaign in New York
State and city 10 be inaugurated after
the notification meeting at Madison
Square Garden. when Mr.. Watson, for
President. and Mr. Tibbles. for Vice
President. will be formally notified of

W cast for Mr. Bryan When the
I4mocraey nominated Judge Parker on
the gold standard platform they lost
every Populist vote that was ever cast
for Bryan. There was a faction Of the
Peoples Party. amounting TO $1,000
voters. that voted for Wharton Barker
for President in 1900 The perverse
misrepresenting, and unfair New York
papers persist in quoting the $1,000 votes
cast for Mr.. Barker as the entire Pop
ulist vote of the United States. That
is the most dishonest representation that
could be made.
The bulk OF the Pouulist vote went
for Mr. Bryan. for the Populist vote OF
The country was counted in with the
Democratic vote.

THE last time we ran a separate
