nowadays PC people ople can be reached so BO readily that it Is not a difficult task to offer and have sensibly received an explanation of oc the and effect of any disturbance so I 1 dont believe that

but it if we tall fall to meet the expectations ot of the people it will insult in our demoralization such was the frank opinion of the situation that senator faulkner expressed to me as he be sat at his desk at headquarters all we want continued he earnestly la is such action as will arouse the enthusiasm enthus laam of 0 a party with all the means and appliances for conducting an aggressive campaign I 1 and ho d the lack ack of it makes Us the subject ot df t the one of grave doubt as to the ciha resu result I 1 t the committee bas ha gone bonn into the most moat dt detailed work I 1 am sati sled from what we have learned that thal with a redemption ot of our pledges to the poo pie the repeal of 0 the force bill and the sherman act and with the passage ot of a 4 tariff mil bill and on a line with wit b the e pledges made we shall retain control ot of the next house what figure are the populists lists going to cut in the result resell have they gained 1 prineth lh since 1892 my ot of the matter a ater has haa tr been that thai the populists lists axe are n not t gaining in numbers in the states that the they y w were chere strong in in 1892 and that their strength has not increased any in tae athe other SM K tho the elections just pa pasted abed are an agreeable surprise in this re spat it Is a question even whether they hey t have increased at all in nebraska where they were mere supposed to be gaining rapidly what will the third party movement amount to that Is the labor movement WI will 11 it seriously Ilou bly affect the old parties third parties are li qually uniform in their effee effect upon the two great patties but they always draw from the majority party the reason of which I 1 suppose Is the element of dissatisfaction tio nelch aich R always enters in origin oan of new movements for generally newly applied appleb principles such as the old parties havo have often made the issue ot of a successful campaign campal nn are ara the means of causing a certain number of the people wha do not seek at once to change thear allegiance front from the one to the other of the old parties par lies but gravitate naturally into some now new but transient movement Disaffect ants go as it were from one party to another anothy by means of a third party the third party holds towards the two wd told parties par cles the relation of a step and they walk up and down asit as li happ happens erist that one party dominates the other but generally it ise Is a movement As for the populist populists lists I 1 believe that if any one will take th tho trouble to examine carefully the results ot of the views of these people as embodied in the bills which their representatives in congress have presented he be will b be c convinced 0 vinced that the government of etli the e united states in the hand bands of such leaders would soon become wrecked they |
