The amok of the late battle i
clearing away. Ilia dead are being
buried, the wounded are binding up
their bruise oa best they mny, The
battle Itself I a thing of the peat, and
take it place la history among Ui
host of other tbat hav been lost
and won. It ha iU leavon and it will
be wl to wilder them. It hoe it
evere leeeon for those who by their
luck of principle and their email poll
tic have nearly lost the atate, and
have brought upon it people a calam
ity greater than the lot of It vizi
the defeat of the great-cat United
State acnator the etat ever bad.
It ie not my Intention to cotutlder
thie subject now, but rather to Invite
your attention to the new altuationa
that confront the nation, l'roblem
of th most vital importance are
thrust upon u, and demand utmost
imuiedlal solution. The republic
aland today at the parting of the
. wuya, and It choice of a road will de
termine whether it ahall longer re
. main a republic whether It ahull car
ry forward the banner of freedom to
be the beacon of the op-pressed people of
the world or whether it shu.. Juielf
become an empire, giving up it glori
ou mission, and Ma the monarchic
of Europe in their unholy stjife for
conquest end power.
We have conquered almost an em
J pi re from Bpulii, The vital question
In, whut shall we do with it? I think
1 can detect a growing sentiment
.among. the adherent of the national
admlhistrutlou In favor of adding
then conquered land, especially the
I'blllppiwes, to our own territory-
making them an integral jiortlon of
our country, Till means one of two
thing 'either governing them con
quered countries outlying colonic
eubjugated to our wlif by force of
arm or governing tbcm a terrlto-
. rles, uud ultimately annexing them
to the union aa state. Ia-X um briefly
consider these alternative.
I except Cuba from thia discussion,
been 1 we in the very resolution dot hir
ing war a speelllo declaration wan
made that we would allow the Cuban
to establish a government for them-
aclvca, and the tuition. 1 bound in hon
or by tlii pledge, Hut it In not ao
with i'orto Jiico and the Philippine.
To govern these cou n trie a co.onJe
or coii(uered countries mean a total
abandonment of the Monroe doctrine.
It meiina what 1 termed an Anglo
American nil In nee. Jn anticipation of
ucu action by thl country England
baa already tukeu advantage of the
Iireetig such an alliance would give
icr. It moon our complication In
Kuropean iKilitles, and an active par
tlclpatlon In Kuropeun diplomacy. It
put u cheek-by-Jowl with the effete
monarchic of the old world, make u
ponr for thrir Integrity, and an in
terested party in maintaining the tra
ditional Kuropean balance of ower,
wiiicii any i,uroman alliance with ui
would for the time Wing utterly du

death-knell of the republic, and inka

The populist party baa no wwy to

This eorporailion eamjatlgn fund Is an

to fight It but to Impress upon every
reformer that It I not only but duty to
go and vote, but to contribute aomn
thing toward the cost of getting the
Indifferent Bod careless voter to the

in a way to win. bciu-ii something
inni your enemie.
Three time since the Alliance move
met t betrnn we have been defeated bv
th condniskeT Maying In the corn
fields. Titers I not a particle of doubt
in me inino" or any well Informed man
who I acquainted with th cotidiitlona
In ebraka that on a full vote and
with an honest count there i over 20,
000 majority for the principle we ad
vocate. We do not get them to the
polls, The republican get every man.
They do It with their campaign fund,
They have lh name of every voter In
the fate, Thry know hi politic.
They know whether be Is indifferent
or doubtful. They know whether they
will have to send for blm to get blm
to vote, AH that bo cost an linmenae
a mount of money, Tlie corporation
have furnished it and they will get it
beck ten time over. On the other hand
we have no poll of the state, W did
not know who our voter were, only to
a limited extent, We bad no fund
with which to get thein out. It will
do no good to denounee them, a much
n they deserve it, We muat take
them ns they ere. We must have a
fund to rightfully conduct tt campaign.
just fund must come from small con-
trlbufkm from ench memlier of the
party, Iet the atofe committee go to
worn at once to see that a new orgnnt
ration U made that will secure it.
Another factor of very trreat Jmpor
taw I the reform press, The party
waa first formed and built up by the
reform nntm ami me nooks and
pamphlets prlwtied and circulated by
our peoole. In those day there wa
1)1 tt al ii bout men, rriwiiplc wer
discussed almost exclusively. During
the last year the reform editor nave
heen more inclined to writ about men
nd candidate. In so far that fin
been done th old enthusiasm for
principle bn declined. Our paper
should .return to the old policy aud
begin Mini In the discussion of funda
mental principles, Let the eoitorw
write on the same theme that have en
Jh ned the people and wvm all the
vlctorle of tlie pnat.
On the other hand t'he editor should
not be expected to liear all the heat
and the flcrcenee of the flht alone.
Every effort ahould lie mode to ustaln
them. They lend a hard and unremun
erietlve life at bet, Kvery member of
the party ahould make effort to ex
tend the circulation of reform paper.
I 'very populist should throw all the
huslnes jiosaible to them. A well
edited reform paper sent to a man
for a year will, in nine cae out of
ten, moke a permanent convert. There
la no way so effective and none cheap
er of convincing reasonable men of the
eirrrectnesa of otir princlplea. The
state committee ahould render every

Lei the atate committee beirln the
