THE ARGUMENTS OF THE RE-
ORGANIZERS.

The Commoner: For seven years
the corporation newspapers and the
leaders of the reorganization move
ment have been working for the most
part under ground-'they have Landed
every tool of organized wealth and
have attempted to assassinate the
character of everyone who would not
join them. They have made con-
slant assault on democratic principles.
and were expecting to complete their
plans at st. Louis. but they now re-
alize that they must face the i ndigna-
ton wich their repeated per6dy has
aroused.
Their chief argument is that they
can point the way to victory, and they
have impressed few who have for
gotten the disastrous defeat of 1894,
when the reorganizers last led and
the route of the Palmer and Buckner
ticket which they supported. They
have won over few whose hunger for
spoils is stronger than desire for re-
form, and, promising q large oorrup-
ton fund they Of course, attract those
who want to handle the money. but
they have not reached the uncorrup-
tible mass that furnishes the votes. As
the fight progresses it will become more
and more apparent that it is a battle
royal between the money power and
the common people. The line will be
drawn between those who want to
make the party the defender Of mon
opolies and those who desire to keep
it the champion of popular rights. We
lost some of our leaders in 1896
some went over into the republican
party. We shall lose some more this
year, but we shall obtain recruits
from among those who recognize the
decentralization wrought BY CONNER
cialism and desire the restoration Of
higher ideals If to urge the democra-
tic party to be true to its principles
and honest in It's methods is to subject
Mr.. Bryan to the charge Of trying to
dictate, he will bear the accusation
with fortitude.
