ratio. The Democratic party has
been moving steadily in all those d.
rections which converge and have
come to be known as popullsm.
The organization OF the Populist
party drew a line which the two
great parties were obliged 10 con-
front and the conventions OF 1896
fixed their respective attitudes. The
Democrats and the Populists became
practically fused. The Republicans
stood squarely against the entire pro-
gramme OF the alliance. We won
but we did not check the populistic
trade, for a trade 1t had become.
