Facts and ConelUKlons Concerning the The .Sclcctlou of tho Next President. It requires 203 electoral votes for cither of tho old party nominees to win in November. Failing these, Mr. Har rison stops into well merited oblivion, for in tho houso he has not the shadow of a chance. It is practically conceded that ho cannot deliver for himself these 223 votes. Neither can Mr. Cleveland. In which case the contest goes to con gress under conditions unrivaled for in terest and result in tho history of this country, becauso the money power nnd the people wonld bo face to face with tha former at bay. The constitution provides: 11 00 pucn person uave sut u majority, men A REVOLT AT HAND. Old Party Leaders Hare Dceama Mad and Will De Dostroyed. Tho old Greek truism that "whom the gods would destroy they first make mad" ib being strangely exemplified in the present national campaign. Tbo two old parties have entered t'uo canvasa under the domination of tho money power as represented by .Wall street Relying on that feeling of nartisanshin that thev liavo fr !of and cn ftiv.lt? generated nnd trusting again to party loyalty, both of the great national or ganizations have entered the campaign ignoring the really live issues btforo tho peoplo of tho country, while to the power-that controlled both national con ventions it is a mutter of iudifferer.ee Davis &' Pottenger, -o Dealers In o- from the persons having the highest number, j which wins.

The Omaha convention, which Inau gurated a third party movement, has been laughed at by the old politicians. Xot always tlje wcatherwise. however, are correct in thtir predictions. The cloud net bigger than a man's hand when first seoji sometimes envelops the whole heavens. Events now in progress indicate that Weaver and Field ar cer tain to prove more formidable candi dates than tho old time political prophets are willing to admit. Partisan-riiip is not retaining its usual hold on the peo ple, and tho People's party is liable to gather to it tho votes of all the dissatis fied elcineuts of the people. A land slide, as is utid iu politics, may be the result. In the mining states the repudiation of silver by both the old parties will influ ence tho people to vote for Weaver and against Harrison or Cleveland. In the south and the agricultural states of the middle west the fanners aro up in arms against both the old parties. The labor unions everywhere are against the men and the parties whoso laws permit Pink erton !etectics to shoot down working- men whooe only crime is a demand for sufficient wages with which to feed and clothe their families. The defeat of the silver bill, the rattlo barons' raid into Wyoming, the Homestead affair, the Idaho trouble ore all certain to bear fruit at the pells next November. Iu any issuo in this country iu which it is a contest between money and ballots it is a certain thing that the ballots will ul timately win.

Now. in all fairness, if a party .don't represent the principles that we believe are founded on justice, of what use is that party to us? Cnt we are told that if we leave or.r party the other party that horrible wolfish party will capture the country, and we will be at their merry. So keep on in our noble party and keep out tho wolf that will devour our industries, and ; jnst give us a chance and all will be well. So plow on, boys, and rest assured we are your friends. Yes. vote out tho wolf and vote in the lion. Which is the worst? Truo, the lion can make the most noise, but both dike are boasts of prey. Which shall we vote for the wolf, the lion or for equal rights to all? Choose you this day whom yon will serve justice and equity or Mammon. Will yon stand up for rights of the down trodden and oppressed people? If yon proclaim to tho world whero tou stand, if yon are 0:1 the side of the money power and conscientiously be-1 lieve you are right, you havo a perfect right to be there. But you have no right to vote for principles not con sistent with yonr belief. Neither has any man a right to claim to be a re former and cast his vote for a party who opposes reform. If your love for party is above your love of liberty and justice, then, by tho eternal, vote for your party, and vote yonrself Into a life of servitude, com pared to which the days of tbo chattel slave would be a paradise. This is tho decisive conflict. We roust proclaim to the world as did our Revolutionary fore fathers of old, that we are a free and independent people, or else we must bow in meek submission and accept tho state we are so rapidly approaching a class of serfs and money kings.

Tho amount lent iu other ways cannot be less than ten times as much as tho banks lend probably it is many times ten .but at the lowest estimate it would take more money than is in esistivnce to pay A per cent, interest on the loans. The result is tho owners of tho little money in existence are quietly absorbing all the proiicrtv in tho country as compen sation for tho use of their credit.
