THIS TO THE LEGION.

VOICE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE REFORM PRESS. Willing to Meet Mem Half Way fee an Honest Union Bnt Thera Must Ke No , Surrender of Principle. You have conferred on me by un*’~ . mous vote the postion of commanc'c ■ the legion, your club organization, ar., president of the Reform Press assoc;:. - tlon. The burden is great, the labor is hard, but the responsibility is still greater. It is a sacred trust, and . I would consider myself dishonored if I did not do my whole duty without fear. I have carefully investigated the situation; have followed the mysterious missionaries who have gone from state to state; have had careful reports of their work; have investigated the full purpose of the silver leaders and the democratic silver men, and have had correspondence from nearly every state, and every letter but one indicates that the honorable union we all pray for will simply be an invitation to endorse the democratic nominees of the Chicago convention, who will undoubtedly stand squarely on a 16 to 1 platform. The utterances of Senator Tillman in regard to the populist party, of Senator Wolcott and General Warner and many other democratic and republican silver advocates, thoroughly indicate that they have no idea of seeking an honorable union with our party. They propose to disband and destroy It, and .these pretended friends are using men in our party to do it. Mrs. Emery, in one of her last let terr to me, said: “The real foes of oud party are inside our own ranks; there is no danger from the enemy. From hundreds of papers from all parts of the nation, read carefully each week, I am convinced that the people’s party Is a unit in favor of the union of all the reform forces. On an honorable basis, none of us would place a straw in the way of such a unuion. We long for it and pray for it. But if it is a feast of a democratic buzzard we are invited to, the whole membership of the party will repudiate the proposition with scorn..

The southern bourbon leaders realize that they can only hope to save their state and local governments by endorsing free silver and stealing a portion of the platform of our party. It is simply a purely partisan trick, and no one earnestly desiring free coinage, or other vital reforms, should be fooled for one moment. The record o# the democratic party since 1873 shows a long list of broken promises cn this question, and it is these betrayals of confidence that caused the great majority of the southern democrats to leave their party and join our ranks. They have made a heroic fight. Their struggles for a fair ballot and honest count; their determined adherence to principle and their abhorrence of fusion have gained the confidence of every true reformer in the United States. If thfe national convention endorsed the democratic nominees it would be a base betrayal of these gallant members of our party, and every one of them woiild repudiate our action. How hopeless would be the attempt to deliver the Union soldiers in our ranks, and the thousands of men who have left the democratic party forever, to such a combination as the ballotbox stuffers who have stolen the rights of the people in half of the south, and have, by the constitutions of South Carolina and Mississippi, disfranchised two-thirds of the voters of those states. By an honest ballot and fair count the people’s party would be in a majority in nearly all the southern states, and to give up the contest and surrender our people in the south to the will of these men, who will control that convention, would be party perfidy and dishonor, unequaled by the Hayes surrender in 1876. and the treachery of the democrat'c part}’ in destroying silver in 1893 when they had pledged the people they would restore it.

We will place the responsibility where it belongs. We have given every opportunity to secure an honorable union. We have gone to the very verge of ruin to show our willingness to meet all honest men half way, to secure a union of all desiring financial reforms, and now we have ample evidence that the democratic convention will endorse silver and nominate candidates, and then a raid of people outside and inside our party will be made to secure the endorsement of our party at St. Louis. The responsibility of dividing the silver forces will rest upon the democratic party and free silver leaders who have sought to delude and deceive us. Any hope of a reform on the money question, of a restoration gt silver, of direct legislation, of curbing the power of corporations, of a fair ballot and honest count, of guaranteeing a republican form of government to every state, of emancipating this nation from British dictation and foreign rule, can only come through the success of the people’s party. It is in every sense the only true American party in the United States. We warn all true members of our party to see that none but delegates of approved loyalty are elected to the St. Louis convention, and to see to It that those already elected stand by the faith, honor and Integrity of the party. Find out whether there is one in all the nation that will vote to disband our organization we have built up at so much sacrifice and preserved amid such treachery. Let us guard the sacred trust in our hands, and we will steer clear of all peril and yet win the victory. The old parties have endorsed silver before and we have never lost a man nor a newspaper, and the rank and file and all the reform press will stand like a

class exclusively, and that Is the speculative class —the money changers, the bankers, and, it is an ugly term to use, the gold. gamblers. I can not think of a better word to use, because it is gambling, the same as gambling on a stock exchange or a race course. • • • "The object of the pending bill is to stop that kind of work, to tie the hands of the president, if he cannot use them in accordance with the law which he has held up his hand and sworn before God faithfully to execute. We —perhaps I had better speak for myself— I denounced it upon this floor as a usurpation of authority for which. If it had been perpetrated in the better and earlier days of the republic, the guilty one would have been impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors. I heard a democrat senator say on this floor, ‘why do you not impeach him?’ This is not the place to impeach him. At the time the bonds were issued the president was democratic, the senate was democratic, the house of representatives was democratic by a large majority, and there is the place to begin impeachment proceedings. “But it is said, and that comes chiefly from this side of the chamber, from old veteran Republicans, that this bill Is opening up the avenue to repudiation; that it means repudiation. I appeal to senators, especially to Republicans, a class of men with whom many of the best years of my life were spent, and not until the last six or eight years did I feel It to be my duty to separate from them on account of the tendency of that great organization toward the policy we are now pursuing. They charge me, and they charge the rest of us in this chamber who are Populists, with attempted repudiation. No, Mr. President, the legislature that sent me to this body was composed almost wholly of men who had been Republicans within two years. There were ninety-five Populists in the house of representatives. Every one of them voted for me. Out of the ninety-five populists eighty-three had been active, earnest Republicans up to and after the year 1888. They and I all . voted for Benjamin Harrison. Out cf i those eighty-three old Republicans for- ' ty-one had spent from two and one- ■ half to three of the best years of their lives in the Union army, in our great ■ struggle to suppress the most tremen- ' dous rebellion known in human his- ! tory. All of my ambition Is to serve ; this great country. There is nothing that I venerate more highly, more intensely than I do the flag of our country. The great body of the Populist party in the Northern and Western states were Republicans only a few years ago, and there are more old Union soldiers in our party to-day in proportion to the aggregate membership than there is in the great organization of Republicans. “I resent that imputation indignanti.ly. It is unworthy of the senator from ; Connecticut (Mr. Hawley) and the other senators who have uttered the sejiti- ; ment upon this floor. I have said, and I do now say, that you .men who are inj sisting upon this policy will drive the people to repudiation in the end. I would stop repudiation; I would stop ■ all dishonor; I woiild stop all revolution, by taking from the hands of the usupers the power they are improperly 1 exercising. That is the object of the I bill. I have said upon the public platform,. in the presence of the people, as I say here in the senate, that this proi ceeding Is not only without authority of law, but It is one of the most dangerous proceedings, the most dangerous exercise of power that has ever befallen the American people. ****«• “Populists want no reserve fund to redeem their money—no redemption fund for the benefit of stock brokers and banking syndicates. We believe government paper is a safer money than metal of any kind. We want government paper, not bank notes; we want money that is as good as the nation’s credit —money that needs no re- ‘ deemer; money as good in the hands of the poor as in the tills of the rich; mon--1 ey worth its face in Ute produce of laI bor; money that will not slink away when trouble comes; money that speculators cannot corner; money that will I pay debts and taxqs; money based on the people’s property and the public j credit , money that the government will receive at par; money that will be good , as long as the republic endures.”

The Hartford Courant says: “Connecticut capitalists have one hundred million dollars loaned in the west, and don’t propose to have it paid back in 53c dollars,” and then it threatens, for said capitalists, that it won’t lend any more. Is the Courant aware that according to the republican platform of 1880 “the dollars” these same capitalists loaned were only “35c dollars?” Is it n<?t also aware that the purchasing power of the dopar these capitalists have been getting in interest on this hundred million Is more than double the dollar they loaned? They demand a dollar with 200 cents in it in pay for the 35c dollar they loaned, and then console themselves with the idea that they are “honest,” and tha: these wicked farmers out west are trying to cheat them—Daily Citizen.

The game of baseball was fifty years old last week, the first match game having been played at Hoboken. N. J., bn June 19, 1846, between the Knickerbocker and New York clubs Previous to that time townball had been the grpai game, but some of the devotees got their heads together and evolved a series of rules which changed the sport so materially that they decided to call it baseball. The first team was organized on Sept. 23, 1845, but it was not until the following June that a match game was played.
