handsomely in the democratic pref

THIBD PARTY MOVEMENTS
Historic Review of Short-Lived Political Secessions.

There is small comfort.lt) the history

demanding a definite cleavage public
opinion, and corresponding partisan align

of Texas with Its sequel In the Mexican
war, the abolition of slavery, the civil
war. the tariff, the regulation of the
trusts. No party without a distinctive
dominant issue of vital consequence has
appealed to the public Imagination or
cense of reason as having any excuse
for Independent existence, and no party

the suffrage of the democrats. J. C.
Breckinridge of Kentucky, received 845.763.
The republican "Radicals" of 1884 sought
to induce John C. Fremont of California,
to run against Lincoln, but he had the
good aense to decline. In 1873 Charles
O'Conor, the seceding democratic candi
date, got 29.408 to th 3,834,079 of Horace
Greeley, the regular democratic candi
date, and 3.597.070 votes cast for Orant.
The prohibitionists came Into being in
1872. and the results of their campaigns
are too well known to require recapitula
tion. The greenback party came lnt the
field In 1S76. and secured 8X.740 votes for
Its candidate, Peter Cooper, while th
candidates of the two chief parties each
received more than 4,000,000. ' The green
back party of 1880 had 307,306 votes for
Weaver, and in 1884 their candidate, Ben
Butler, succeeded in diminishing their
reckoning to 133,825. Th union labor
party in 1888 was represented by A. J.
Streator of Illinois, with 148.106 votes; in
1892 James B. Weaver, as standard bearer
for the populists, obtalnd 1,041.011 votes
to Cleveland's 5.856,918 and Harrison's
S.440,216. The socialist vote. In forty years,
has elected one member of the house of
representatives. Four decades of social
ism n America have evolved a total vet
of about 528,000 (in 1W), although in Ger
many in a quarter of a century of ex
istence the socialistic vote has mounted
to 4,250,000. '
In 1898 John M. Palmer, for the gold
democrats, received 138,148 votes. Mtf
Klnley's vote was 7,104,779. while that of
Bryan, from the democrats and th
peoples party together, waa 6,502.925.
The mere recapitulation of th figure
Is th best proof of the improbability
of the election of a candidate who, rather
than a great issue Or a party established
after year of travail, chiefly represents
himself.

Beat the drums of memory
In a low and lulling key,
Till my feet go marching on
Through the twilight and the dawn.
Backward through the paths of time
Into that enchanted clime
Where the blossoms never fade.
Where the sunshine and the shade .,
Dam e in dapples on tha grass .
Of the orchards that I pass.
Beat the drums of memory
Till they thrill the soul of me.
And I foot the haiy miles
Into long forgotten whiles.
Find the meadow and the brook
And the vine hid forest nook.
Till the world that was of old
World aglow with rose and gold
Lures me with Its hopes, forsooth,
Aa lt did when I bad youth.
Beat the drums of memory :
Let the roll a raUy be! ,.
Call the boys I used to know
In the wondrous long ago
Call them all from field and foam, '
Till again w are at home.
Let us boast, and do, and dare,
Having neither tret nor care; ',
Let us laugh at the far page
Wher Is told th tale Of age.
Beat the drums of memory
Till the old songs come to me,
Till I murmur faded tunes, ;
Hum contended olden croons.
And the boy days all are mine: ;
Till my veins pulse with the wine
Of the days that were, made new
As I find my pathway through ;
All the ever calling ways
Of the living yesterdaya.
