After the Endorsement OF Bryan at
ST. Louis in 1896. the peoples parry
organization in good many states
was more or less closely merged VITA
the democratic organization. At that
time the election laws in most OF the
states were such that new party
was easily started, and the failure CT
the peoples party to retain its place
on the official ballot was matter Ut
no particular moment, because II the
democratic party should lapse into its
former state of political barbarism,
the populists could easily regain their
place as an Independent political or
ganization.
But plutocracy is never idle. 1t had
received a genuine fright because or
the wonderful growth of the peoples
party, and in the eight years since
1896, nearly every state has made
such changes in the election laws as
to render Independent third party
movements almost impossible-at any
rate, very difficult
Thus the Australian ballot, original
ly intended as an aid to independent
voting, has, by few clever amend
ments been used as the means to kill
off such independence.
The democracy of every state, ex-
cept Nebraska, began early to absorb
the populist membership and to sec
that the peoples party made no nom
nations. But in Nebraska. at least
until 1902, there was no indication Of
any desire on the part Of democrats to
break down the populist organization.
AS matter Of fact, all the victories in
Nebraska had been won with the peo-
pies independent party in the lead
vital, powerful organization-and
the democratic party playing second
fiddle"
In 1902 the democrats were insist
.ent for the head Of the state ticket.
I'VE intend to have it," some of them
said, "even IL we have to 60 1t alone.
We are not handicapped this year by
presidential situation. We don't
have to submit to populist aggression
for Bryan's sake" -
Unfortunately they were assisted in
this course by many OF the populist
leaders, whose action at the 1902
Grand Island convention showed de-
sire to build up the democratic party
by disorganizing, humiliating and dis
rupting the peoples independent par
ty. That this was q piece OF foolish
ness. from any standpoint whatever
is evident. Cooperation between
Bryan democrats and populists in Me-
braska can succeed only by placing the
peoples independent party in the lead
The populists greatly outnumber their
democratic allies. and will not submit
TO play a minor part.

Nebraska Populists.

persistent effort has been made to
take into the democratic party every
populist party officer possible. and 10
thus allow the peoples Independent
party to die. For example there has
never been any vital opposition to CO.
operation in the Fourth congressional
district; yet this year the democratic
congressional convention has been
called at York for June Fl, and the
populist chairman, Geo. L.. Burr or
Aurora. has not, SO far as The lnde-
pendent can learn, made any move
even to call his committee together.
II he believes the populists OF the
Fourth district can be railroaded en-
masse into the democratic party by
such tactics-well, he is mistaken.
There will be a DOpuliSt nomination
for congress over in the Fourth dis
trict.
Burr's tactics are In harmony with
the do-nothing proposal made by Mr..
Howard at the last committee meet
ing. Or, perhaps, more accurately, the
tactics are the joint product emanal-
ing from the minds of Former Con-
gresham Stark, Burr, and Howard.
The peoples Independent party organ
ization is to be abandoned as worth
less hulk and all live populists will
be taken aboard the democratic craft.
Charles Gilbert will be given the
democratic nomination for congress;
Col Stark. the democratic nomina-
ton for governor, and all Will go
merry as marriage bell"
But 1.-THE best laid plans O mice and

There Is life in the peoples party.
| 1t is not dead. 1t cannot die until an
other party takes up its cardinal ten
cts, and places in charge OF its party
machinery men who sincerely believe
in populism. 1t cannot die SO long as
Dave Hill. Grover Cleveland; Senator
German, and men of that ilk, occupy
prominent places in the party which
proposes to absorb the peoples par
| ty. Nebraska populists could become
Bryan democrats DR.. Hall democrats,
Billy Thompson democrats, G. j..
Smyth democratsif they were abb
solutely sure that the Bryan-Haii-
| Thompson Smyth democracy would be
the democracy Of the United States.
But they are not sure OF this. On
the contrary, they see indications that
quite another kind of democracy Is to
prevail at ST. Louisa democracy that
differs from republicanism In name
only.
So the peoples party Of the United
States must retain its organization. 1t
will hold a national convention al
Springfield, July 4, and Nebraska will
have 4S delegates there to assist In
making nominations for president and
vice president. These delegates will
be elected at Fremont, June Il. Ham

A WELCOME VISITOR.
Rev. j. j. Hall, of Fayetteville,
Preached Two Strong SERMONS
Here Oh Sunday.

1t was a pleasure to many friends in
Raleigh TO have in the city on Sunday
Rev. j. ]. Hall, pastor of the Baptist
church of Fayetteville, who twelve
years ago was the pastor of the Tab
ernacle Baptist church here.
He preached twice on Sunday at the
Tabernacle and at each service there
was a very large ate ndance, these be-
ing present not alone the members OF
the congregation, hut also many
friends friends of DR.. Hall, members
OF other congregations. who were de-
lighted with the strong sermons
preached.
His subject at the morning service
was Power" his text being from
John 1872. eye shall receive power. y"
lie spoke Of the Chr stians need Of
equipment, of power from God, with
cut which he would be unable TO ac-
comp.isk anything, with which he
could become all powerful.
At night his subject was VISIONS
and Gallo" and his crmon was based
upon Paul's vision of the man in Asia
who called to Him to come oyer into
Maeedonia.u DR.. Ha! declared that
every man must baVe some vision of
work, that in order to do his best he
flust see something to do. AS some of
the calls he presented the call of fell
low men, of the heather, of the poor.
CT the distressed. Both sermons were
Gptly illustrated.
1t was ur der I'r. Hall, some twelNs
years ago, that the Tabernacle Baptist
church was put in its present shape,
the Sunday school room being made
an adjunct for enlarging the church
for overflow congregations. These
improvements cost some $4,000. AZ
ter his sermons yesterday many
friends gave warm greeting 70 DR..
Hall, who during his stay here was
the guest of Mr.. j. NJ. BrouChton.
