For People's Party Organization
... Responding to the Independent's Teferendum as to the
future course of the People's Party- many communications
advocating the maintaining of the -party organization intact.
The following are samples: ; ,

I fully endorse, the views of Brother
Wright In regard to holding the peo

spread her sails and be able to sweep
the political sea and carry crew to
victory. GARRETT GIBSON.

have kept company with
that old fcrlot long enough. Mr. Bryan,
though ?ery able, brilliant and hon
est; mantis altogether too much of a
partisar; and hence not a safe leader.
He hasfdone more, be it intentionally
or -iinistionally, to disorganize the
peopled party, than any living 'man,
and eN during this last campaign
kept r ire men from rallying to the
Etand'r 1 of Tom Watson than all other
demerits combined. ; :
Asifh the rest of the great demo
crat ieaders, they are about as: rotten
.. and faithless set of fellows as ' ones
,imit imagine. The democratic party,
as . whole," has repudiated principle

voi;.s time and again until it has

"Idlosyncmtic"
Enclosed please find my vote on the
question submitted to subscribers of
The Independent in the people's party
referendum ballot. You will notice that
my vote is cast in favor of maintaining
the peopVs party national organiza
tion. Mr. Bryan and Mr. Hearst have
went upon tne record. No man, in my
estimatirn can be a true. reformer who
proclaims, as did Mr. Hear3t, that he
would vote for and support the can
didates nominated at the St. Louis con-
vention regardless of wuom they mighU
be. Secondly, Mr. Bryan in the Com
moner published to the world that he'j
would vote for Parser and Davis.
Mr. Bryan had taught, his .followers'
for eight long years, that the single
gold standard .was the consolidation,
the crowning sum of all villainies, the
concentrated quintessence of all poli
tical evils; and then to come out, after
that telegram "irrevocably . fixed the
gold standard" and proclaim in his
first issue of the Commoner after the
convention that he was, going to vote
for Parker and Davis. That move, in
my estimation, should "irrevocably fix"
Mr. Bryan as a reformer. Again, if
Mr. Hearst supported the nominees of
that St. Louis monstrosity, acocrding
to his proclamation, then he also voted
for Parker and Davis and that kills
the coon for. me, with him. ' These two
"democratic' reformers," to my mind,
are, rather idiosyncratic 'than demo
cratic and not to . be depended upon.'
It might be objected that these two
men do . ot constitute the whole body
of democratic reformers. True enough,
but please call to mind any one or all
democratic leaders, in the last forty
- years and name one who has remained
steadfast to true Jeffersonian democ-
racy. I voted and delivered speeches
for Mr. Bryan's cause in 1896 and 1900
the. .Lord forgives me for this

misplaced confidence, I promise that
any kind of "fusion" with any political
party outsido of the people's party has
had Its last, vote and advocacy from
me. I am a people's party man, first
last and all the time. I am like that
Alabama man No more fusion for me
and consequently no more confusion,
refusion or diffusion.

"To Arms" for Populism
With the experience of the last cam
paign I am surprised to see you asking
your readers to vote whether they
should f uae with Bryan for another
party ur-wj,,
We the 'popufiStS'-atfe eood enough

.... i"". .
office, but when the democratic party
turns Completely around the same fel
lows with only a few exceptions will
vote their "yellow dog" or turn and
help republicans rather than vote for
the d d pops. One of the most pro
nounced Bryan democrats in this vi
cinity told me in the spring that he
would not vote for no d d goldbug
for president. Before the election he
said to me he would not vote for Wat
son. After I reminded him of what
he said before he replied that Parker is
not for gold and when I sweated him
more he refused to answer. Yes, he
voted for I atker or Roosevelt but he
would not vote for a Jeffersonian dem
ocrat In Silver Lake township, where
I vote, only Bohemians voted for Wat
sort. They, were not afraid of throwing
their votes away. Other Bryan demo
crats voted for Parker or Roosevelt
and with such you would have us co
operate? No, IiWill never co-operate
with' such partisan lunatics, never! If
this , campaign had driven all the Par
kerites into the republican ranks 'it
would be d.Ierent. But they are ell
there, yet. Parker and Bryan will have
the same fight to go'over and who
guarantees us that Parker or some one
of bis brand will not win again. . The
democrats have been on all : sides of
all questions and still they don't know
are at They have tried
greenbacks7?44nmey, freer silver,
eold "standard and tnT,...
gold " standard "and tneAa4Miiff be
fore they swell like a toad and buBrdttor Independent; The election is
is to try "prohibition." T will novpr
follow such cowardly leaders that ccn
eat all kinds of crow like Bryan did.
If the ref orm democrats ..want a . party
that stands up by its guns with the
same flag unfurled in victory or de
feat let them join the people's party
permanently and help to build it up.
That's the only way to get rid of hypo
crites and dead weight in their party
by leaving it behind.
By all means let us stand alone.
By all jneans hold up the banner of
populism in victory cr defeat.
If our gallant Watson is willing to
make the sacrifice let us keep him in,
leadership and renominate him as our
standard bearer in im Brother
unsts to arms, to arms! Don't get
discouraged, the battle has only begun.
Don't forget to continue to contribute
to Ferris and De France, they are 1,
000 behind. Don't be stingy. Look at
the socialists and see wbat sacrifices
they make. To arms, to arms, ye brave!
Three cheers for John S. De Hart; his
last letter has the right ring.

Populists Voted for R.oosevelt
I am reauested by some of our most
active populist workers, who fairly rep
resent the sentiment of our people in
this county, to say that we have had
all the fusion with the democrats that
we want, an 1 then some
Fusion with them this yearwas re
pudiated by us and we so notified the
state committee and warned them of
the disastrous effect it would hav
he election returns more than verify
our predictions. McKinley beat Bryan
200 here in 1900. ; Roosevelt beat Par
ker 1.123 and' has 900 more than both
Parker and Watson. Mickey's plural
ity increased from 111, two years ago,
to 555 and Congressman Kinkaid's
from 195 to 648 and the legislative
candidates made similar gains. Think
of Watson getting only 223 In this
county, where had there been no fu
sion he would have received from 900
to j,00O. -
Mr. Bryan's course in placing parti
sanship as paramount to patriotism
and, as Mr. Watson says, "submitting
to what was wrong, because, although
it was wrong, it was regular," and we
will 'add, by supporting what he knew
to be wrong and had declared he never
v-paM support, had much to do with
cauring the landslide out In this sec
tion and settles beyond dispute that he
can never again become the bell-wether
of the populist flock. We endorse what
you siy of him as having the worst
cape oi partisan insanity of which we
have any record. . .
We endoist the manly stand taken
by out invincible leader, Thomas E.
Watson, in Ms published statement of
his plans lor rebuilding the people's
party and thhik Nebraska populists
owe it to niri! and to humanity to give
him all the assistance in their power.

Would Split Plutocratic Vote -
Inclosed , find my vote for the peo
ple's party. So far as I have talked
with other populists all would vote as
I have, ' '
It is impossible to take all populists
into the democratic party.
There is room in the populist camp
for all true reformers. : ; - , v
To keep up he populist organization
and a reform democratic party splits
tl;e reform vote. With the reform vote
split it is easy fof the plutocrats to
ruIe.A To surender the democratic
party to .Wail street splits , the pluto
cratic vote. The split vote stands a
poor show to win.

' QUEST.
We Will Never Know
over. we "JlrjieY.r,.lgpw. hew mr.ny
votes were put in for.ibgaiMLTlb
bles, but we do know one thihglfestiw
there has been one of the most power
ful fights waged against the two old
parties that ever was made in thesa
United States, and we can sav one
thing, the people's party has killed Jhe
democrats. They will never be known
to elect a president again. The peo
ple's party must stand solid on the
foundation as it is now laid by your
self and Watson. It is not for love
and respect that the people have voted
for Roosevelt, but because they hate
the democrats. They have acted so
bad at home and abroad is the reason
the people don't expect anything of
t republicans.- They know them. Vhe
democratic party has changed so much,
stolen populist principles and then
lied. . Now k'; us all stand in line, force
the democrats to come and be one of
us, and b honest, Change their elec
tion laws and people will have respect
for the law makers of the south. I
den't know but I think Bryan is a dead
duck, though not as dead as his party.
He may name the next president and
the issue, buf if it is as a democrat he
will be defeated. What I say, is, if
Bryan would come and unite all re
form forces, that would drive the gold
bug democrats into the republican
party. May God grant the day may
soon come when all can unite. I want
all of Watson and Tibbies speeches
anu the platforms when they arc put In
pamphlet form, I want to put out all
I can among the people for the future.
