POPULISTS COME TO STAY.

Senator Stewart Think* They Are Likely to Elect a President in 1896. Senator William M. Stewart, of Nevada, is in New York. “The monetary conference,'’ he said, “is a fraud. It won’t amount to anything. If the B«publicans do not hurry up and pass a free coinage bill this winter they will not carry a State west of the Bocky Mountains in 1896. If the Democrats do not pass a free coinage bill when they come into power, if they have control of both branches of Congress, the Populists will elect a President in 1896.” According to a dispatch Senator Stewart said he thought the Popolists had come to stay. Free coinage would be one of their principal issues. He said he did not know which party would have a majority in the Senate after March 4.
