It is a grave mistake to suppose
there are no populists down in the
"provinces." It is a mistake to sup
pose that all New York newspapers
J suppress everything not in harmony
with their respective business offices.
"The letter below was clipped from
me uuca (n. x.) uauy rress, a some
what independent republican paper,
enjoying a large circulation in central
New York. The writer, Frank Stuhl
man, was .'the people's party candi
date for' assemblyman in lbl)5. He
voted the populist ticke tas long a3
the party oreanization was keDt ud.
And since then he has. nuite natur
ally, affiliated with the Debs wing of
socialism. His letter follows;
To the Editor of the Utica Daily
Press: 1 write this for those who hold
principle higher than party, right
more than spoils of office. " Parker
spells plutocracy. Bryan has an
nounced that he will vote for Parker.
That i3 his personal privilege. We
have followed Bryan loyally for eight
years. We have advocated him in
season and out cf season. . We had
Bryanitis and had It bad. There was
no campaign so hopeless, no hoDe
so forlorn. but we would have been
proud to go down to defeat under his
banner. But we will not follow Wil
liam J. Bryan into the plutocrat's
camp.
Democracy minus Bryanism equals
. political hypocrisy - and inefficiency.
For a decade Bryan and 1'om Johnson
have been trying to infuse some life
ana virtue into the moribund old
derelict. It was time wasted. "The
leopard can not change Its spots."
The party has again fallen to its
level, it is the other tail to the nlu
tocratic kite. If Bryan wishes to
swaiiow a straddle-bug platform that
is satisfactory to the worst elements
of his party; If he wants to suDoort
a candidate the choice of the money
power and nominated by a contemptl
ble trick-of , the unDrinciDled wire
puller, D. B. Hill, let him. But we
renounce Bryan as a leader.
"We shall march prospering not
mrougn nis presence;
. - ...
Deeds will be done, while he boasts
his quiescence.
Still bidding crouch whom the rest
bade aspire."

Standard Oil interests.
. There Is no reason why any be
liever in true democracy should-vote
for either of the wings of plutocracy,
headed by Parker . and Roosevelt, re
spectively. Two candidates are in the
field who represent the principles Jef
ferson lived for and Lincoln died for.
They stand for eternal right, for eaual
opportunity and equal privilege. The
popunst nominee is gallant, tried and
true, Tom Watson, the greatest his
torian of his time. His "Story of
France" is the most brilliant histori
cal work since Carlyle. Those who
have not read it. have missed one of
the most fascinating and porfound
histories ever penned. He has kept
the light of eaual rights burninsr in
the land of darkest Bourbon democ
racy. The other is Eugene Debs, the
peerless labor leader, who bears the
standard of the social democracy. He
represents the highest and noblest
lueai ever put in the political held.
In every state there will be tickets
for one or both of these true demo
crats. Neither will "be 'elected, but
a mighty protest can be given in their
names that will lav the foundations
of victory for the people, and at least
we have not "bowed our knee lo
Baal." If the American people must
lose their liberties we need bring it
about by our votes. If the workers
must bear chains and wear collars
like the thralls of Cedric the S'axon.

: Out in Chase county, PC C. Claypurg

he is editor of the Chase County Trib
uneand the Tribune Is supporting
Parker and Davis. He has joined In
a call fo a joint convention with the
democrats and they ; have set Friday,
August5, as-the date r for such conven-tion.
The IndeDendeht said last 'week this
date was fixed so as to shut out the
country delegates, just as the party
machinery in Lancaster county se
lected the same date for a like pur
nose. But the rank and ' file out in
Chase are not looking for a chance to
fuse with Parker democrats. Listen
to this letter from J. Davidson of La
mar: ""I am busy and don t see how
I coum go as a delegate, i wouia line
to do all I can for the people's party.
No fusion for me after this. "A. E.
