"1 am very well satisfied with
the populist platform fruu top to
bottom, but there are iu it two
principle- which would of them-
selves induce me to vote the tick-
et if all the rest were left out or
ten times as much put in. I will
never again support a political
party that believes in the delega-
tion of absolute power. When
the government ties up on an im-!
port ant issue let the people save
the country from prolonged ago- :
nv and destruction of prosperity,
values, business and labor by j
having a speedy vote direct on j
the is.-ue.
I
"I'lider our present system the j
people never settle anything at j
the time and in the manner they
desire. There is too much rigidi-
ty and inflexibility about the pres- !
cut system and it is like running j
an engine without a safety valve
or steam escape as just as sure to
result in an explosion.
"Instead of one state like Ken-
tucky some day the whole country
will be up iu arms to remedy
some evil of government because
it cannot be reached by a quick,
decisive vote. Some of these
learned democratic statemen say
this would be a wild experiment.
They don't seem to know that it
is a long and successfully operat-
ed principle in government in
England, Germanv, France and
Switzerland. Have we not got
as much sense as those people?
If you believe so, then you should
be a populist, for the democratic
and republican parties don't per-
mit one of their loyal voters to
have this much confidence in the
common people. They believe
in an all powerful discretionary
officialism with a fixed term of
official life, even though they dur-
ing that time misrepresent their
constituents and destroy the
prosperity of the people. The
present system will degrade and
demoralize any people, for Hi
tie to vote on any issue
to their
- s . . . ,
or sell
some campaign fund. It is the
best they can do. What does
a vote amount to under the pres-
ent system; why not sell it s.i
far as the good it will do iu the
speedy settlement of a policy of
government ?
• t • « •
"My fellow citizen:*. 1 hope to
see populist principle- prevail
in Texas and the I"nit«•;I States,
even if we have to -« are the dem-
ocrats into adopting them. ami it
will only require .>0.000 more
votes to do this in Texas and the
victory in thi- great state will
make the rest of the country in-
vestigate. It will show that
there is in the middle of the
good government road and that
can't be turned out of it by cam-
paign fund and political humbug,
and that is not ashamed of the
mudsill banner of freedom."
"These candidates for demo-
cratic nominations who won't
defend either a democratic con-
gress or. a democratic president
have no right to pose as demo-
crats or ask democratic votes.
If they are not followers of the
democratic platform, congress or
president, who and what in the
devil are they politically? No
matter what they call t hemselves,
they are political bush-whackers
without a party and without a
leader. They sail under demo-
cratic colors on the same princi-
ple that the farmer i& afraid if he
changes his pig call the hogs
won't come. These candidates
cuss everything the party has
done, but cry out,4 save me, be-
cause of my democracv!' I would
not have the vote of any citizen
who was fool enough to swallow
this kind of political clap-trap.
The three candidates for the
democratic nomination for con-
gress in this district in their an-
nouncements repudate the party
platform, the congressional tariff
bill and Mr. Cleveland's policy.

Hon. James S. Woods of Kauf-
man county, candidate for the
democratic congressional nomina-
tion two years ago, but now a
stalwart populist, furnishes the
following for publication:
Terrell, Texas, April 6, 18%.—
Hon. J. S. Woods, Kaufman,
Tex.—Dear sir: Being informed
that Hon. Barney Gibbs will
speak in the interest of the popu-
list party at Kaufman some time
during the day on April 25, and
will speak at Terrell on the even-
ing of the same day, I respectfully
request in behalf of the democrat-
ic hi-metallic organization of
Kaufman county, a fair and equal
division of time for the Hon. M.
M. Crane in joint debate at both
places, or either of them, to dis-
cuss the political issues of the
day with the Hon. Barney Gibbs.
If some unforseen contingency
should prevent the coming of
Hon. M. M. Crane we will have
some other distinguished demo-
crat to meet Hon. Barney Gibbs.
Hoping you will accede to this
request and asking that you give
as early as possible a written re-
ply. I remain, yours very truly,
A. II. Dashiel, Chairman.
Kaufman. Tex., April 8.1*%.
—Hon. A. II. Dashiel, chairman
bimetallic party, Kaufman county,
Tex.—Dear sir: Speaking for
one and for one only, of the peo-
pit^s party of Kaufman county, I
reply ihttt your letter with its re-
quest. indicaflSKthat another and
new party has bcen^^born, with
you as its chairman, in this'
t v. You request a joint deb
between Hon. Harney Gibbs on
tii« part of the people's party
wiif are contending for the an~
e'ent form- and ceremonies of
de u >cra y. to-wit. the reign j
of the common people and M. M. j
Crane whom your letter indicate- •
is to speak for your new organfza-j
lion. If you intend to put your
man against our man a- the rep-
resentative of tiii- new party tlu-u
we i.iu-t decline your offer until i
your ephemeral organizat ion li\ e>
l«uuc euou;/h lo have a uai.it>oal,
platform and nominee.- to defend
it. If you me:.is to contend on
the hustings again-l llie free and
unlimited coinage of -ilver and in '
favor of national hanks and .
against the issue of money direct-:
ly by the government, instead of
by national bank-to the people; j
and a full restoration of this gov-
ernment to the people as against
the insatiate amhitwi! of those
identified with corporate wv.ahh; '
then there will be an issue be-j
tween your new party and the!
people's party. But until we are j
informed by some credible and |
trustworthy methods whether)
your new organization will defend
the national democracy and its {
platform, state and national, our
partv cannot afford to waste timet
in an unprofitable discussion i
about nothing except a scramble j
for office and the privilege to
stack up at the pie counter. My
dear friend, the people's party i-
national. it believes and teaches
the same thing in every part of
the union. Modern democracy,
of which your party is but a scrap,
is bursted. Its columns are in
complete route. No quicker than
it places one of its nominees on a
platform made by it. the next
moment he jumps clear off of it.
Modern democracy in the east is
for gold and protection. In the
In the west it is for more pen-
sions. and in the south it is for
free trade and national banks and
more office. Until we know w ho
and what you and your party
are our party must refuse your
request. Yours very truly,
J. S. Woods.

Dallas on San Jacinto day, the
