Dr. Crowe of Birmingham, Ala*
had to leave for Washington be-
fore the committee concluded its
work. He is contesting a seat in
congress, asserting that he was
elected as a Populist and counted
out by the Democrats.
•
W. L. Peek of Geoagia, was
present and participated in the
proceedings. Mr. Peek made the
lace as a Populist for governor of
Georgia in '94, we believe, receiv-
ing about 90,000 votes; he is
talked of as being the man to
head the ticket at the October
election in his State,
T. S. Hogan, until some six-
teen months ago, a worker in the
smelters at Anaconda, was in at-
tendance. He is a young man.
At'present he resides at Helena,
the capital of Montana, and is
Montana's Secretary of State.
Wharton Barker of Philadel-
phia, Pa., was present and par-
ticipated in the proceedings. He
had very decided views as to what
ought to be done, but did not try to
force his policy on the committee.
We presume he was fairly well
satisfied with the final action ta-
ken. Mr. Barker is really a new
element m the People's party.
He has been high up in the finan-
cial circles of the world, has
made business visits to Russia for
twenty-five years, has counseled
with high officials in China, and
has advised with the Russian
government on great state pro-
ject-. What commends Mr. Bar-
S*&?i£Gs
Both the method and results when
Syrup of Figs is taken; it is pleasant
and refreshing to the taste, and acts
gently yet promptly on the Kidneys,
Liver and Bowels, cleanses the sys-
tem effectually, dispels colds, head-
aches and levers tod cures habiuzal
constipation. Syrup of Figs is the
only remedy of its kind ever pro-
duced, pleasing to the taste and ac-
ceptable to the stomach, prompt in
its action and truly beneficial in its
effects, prepared only from the most
healthy and agreeable substances, its
many excellent qualities commend it
to all and have made it the most
popular remedy known.
Syrup of Figs is for sale in 50
cent bottles by all leading drug-
gists. Any reliable druggist who
may not have it on hand will pro-
cure it promptly for any one who
wishes to try it. Do not accept any
substitute.

The following interviews ap- be glad to do
that the Bland-North ileal is to
be aired in the courts, and I hope
the guilt v parties will be brought
to justice.
I an, opposed to the Populists
having fusion wiih anv other
party unless Populist principles
are to l« advanced, said J. H.
Ferris.-, editor of t he Joilet (III.)
Daily News, and chairman of the
reform press committee of or-
ganization, who is stopping at the
Ladede. "Two Democrats and
two Populist- do not make four—
they do not even make two—in a
fusion. When there is fusion in
a Democratic state the Populists
become disgusted or indifferent,
ami they either *ta\ at home on
election day or slide over to the
Republicans, it i- vice ver*a in
a Renubiican state. The middle
i
of the roaders do not oppose fu-
sion as a matter of principle so
much a- they do In^-atu^ fusion
sn't work any benefit to Popu-
lism. If np could elect Demo-
crat- or Republicans who would
carry out our measure* we would
it. It i- not so
Democrat. The Democratic
managers, together with the Pop-
ulist State chairman, then tried
to get me to withdraw. I refused.
I told the Democrats that if they
were sincere in their declarations
that thev were working for princi-
ple alone, and not the offices, j
i then they could support me. The
i Populists had helped them out in
j St. Louis, and now it was the
i Democrats' turn to make some
sacrifice for principle's sake. But
the Democrats couldn't see it that
way then. So, they put up a
Democratic candidate for Con-
gress in my district. Of course,
while I went down in defeat I had =.
the satisfaction of knowing that,
the Democratic candidate went
down with me. Gen. Spauld«ng,
the Republican candidate, was
elected by 1300plurality, although
it had been a Democratic district.
I simply relate these facts to
show that fusion with Democrats
simply to put Democrats in office
is not giving any aid to the Popu-
list party."

Wharton Barker, editor of the
American, is among the im re dis-
tinguished of those who are in the
city to attend the Populist meeting.
He has been a prominent figure
in the Pennsylvania state cam-
paigns in which Pattison was
elected Governor, the Republi-
cans who went fiver to Pattison in
those campaigns being known as
"Barkerites," he being their
leader. When asked his opinion
on fusion, he said; "No true
Populist will consent to fusion
with another party, and no man
who will be a partv to a fusion or
support it has any right to label
himself a Populist. That ex-
presses my opinion fully. 1 be-

"A fusion is merely a compact
for the purpose of getting office,
and not a tight of principle,"
.-aid Milton Park, president of
the organization committee.
"There i.- no logic in fusion. If
a man believe- that in supporting
the Democratic party he can get
what he wants, why should he
ever leave that partv in the first
place? If the Populist party can
get what it wants in the
Democratic party, why should it
ever have been formed? It can
not, and fusion* made by it are
mere bickerings fi>r otfice among
politician-. The only way to
make a principle is to make it
outright. Every time the Popu-
list party enter- into fusion with a
party which does not indorse all j
of it- platform, it makes itself j
ridiculous. Every time a smaller)
party fuses with a larger, the
former recedes. The Populist
party, however, has i :i«I a cyclone
of experiences in this regard, and
I believe that fusions are a thing
of the past with it,"
