THE POPULISTS FIRM.

Our Workers in Minnesota Are Cheerful and Confident. The Minneapolis Press says: F. C. Gibbs of Waterville, one of the ablest of the people’s party leaders of the state, has been in the city for a day or two, and was a Press caller yesterday. Mr. Gibbs was as cheerful and confident as ever in his political faith. Speaking of his section, his party ranks, he says, are as firm as they ever were, and there are constant accessions in sight, mostly from the Republicans, who admit that they have been buncoed in the unredeemed promises of prosperity from McKinley’s election. Of the general situation, Mr. Gibbs says there is everything to encourage. Nationally he thinks that all the forces have done well in preserving their separate organizations. He has no hesitation in expressing his belief that in time these forces will come together and that in the near future the people will succeed.
