General Weaver, Talks of the People's Movement, Its Progress, Its Power and Its Future WE WILL CONTROL THE SENATE- What Caused the Reaction The Demo cratic Triumph Will be Short Lived. The folio wsng interview with Gene ral Weaver appeared in the Sunday issue of the Rocky Mountain News: WISE WORDS OF OUR LEADER. I am glad oa looking over the politi cal wreckage of Tuesday last to see that Populists have done so remarkably well in the great struggle just closed and the echoes of whica still resound in our ears. We have carried almost as many states as Harrison, though not so large an electoral, vote, and hold the balance of power in more than three-fourtks of the states of the union. WE CONTROL THE SENATE. ' Better still, we are in position to sway the action and shape the future ilicy of the federal senate, having as we will after March 4, senators in that body from Idaho, California, Montana, Kan sas, Wyoming, Nebraska, Nevada and . possibly Norm and South Dakota. We have aloO elected governors in 6ix or seven states. This wilL enable us to act as a breakwater against the enact ment of various legislation and permits us to force the economic measures such as the free; coinage of silver and the adoption of an American system of cur- ' rency to the front and bring the vital issues of the mneteentn century to me . m . ft . 1 attention oi tne American peopie. DISSATISFACTION THE CAUSE. The Democratic party came into -power as the result of a violent reaction public sentiment and not at the bid ding of the quiet and sober judgment of the people. The reaction which threw the Democrats from power at fhaAlnsn of Cleveland's term in 1889 gave the Republicans complete control of the government;, ine peopie were disappointed witn Mr. garrison a au- uinistration ana tne pouucai penuu um swung violently back and hurled ae Republicans from power.

PLUTOCRACY'S NKW TOOL. I tvia imofiracv has cantured every monev center east and west, not by inning the nnanciai ciiaaeia out eu- invitation of the moneyed VJ L 3 plutocracy, which desired to cnange its allegiance from the decaying repub lican party to another which appar ently neither long years of disaster and a quarter of a century of dethrone ment seems incapable of destroying or eyen phasing.

In one short campaign of four mtfnths our party has done more' to educate the people in the true functions of govern ment than the republican party has done in its forty years of existence. It has wrested from the republican party five states, in spite of all its power, prestige and boodle.

The battle is over its joys and sor rows its grief and gladness, and all things pertaining to it, have passed in to oblivion. Except the result: that is a matter of history. It now becomes us, as citizens of this great country, to continue the conflict. Wo have suc ceeded, but we will yet miserably fil, ' if we lay down our arms and let money accomplish, what the ballot has failed to do. Judge Gresham has said, "that we need men possessing the essential qualities of political manhood ." Men to whom bribery is a sin and the urioer is the accursed of God." The election just passed shows conclusively that the power of money in the hands of un scrupulous plutocrats in almost un controllable. At the Deftest oi its King the laboring man, it will not down. Let us close up our ranks, remembering that eternal vigialnce is the price of security. Our legislature will soon commence its labors and it becomes us, the creators, to so guard, all avenues that the creatures shall accomplish our will. "The Truth Shall Triumph." is our moUo, but it will triumph, only, as we stand shoulder to shoulder with its precepts. Nelson Herald. Celebrating; the People's Party Vic tory in the Sunflower State.
