.. Statue. ..,
' RtLKion, Feb. 21. The Populists here
read with Interest the nes .of tho bolt
against Butler at Lincoln, Neb. They i
called to mind how be had bossed the
convention here when there was at the
outset a majority against bim, by delay
ing, dilly-dallying, taking recesses and
having his workers out. Uutler wanted
to trade with the Democrats In 1898 and
It staggered bim when hj propositions
were so quickly and decidedly rejected.
Cy. Thompson was as much surprised as
Butler was,-' Populists know lots of
things about the Senator. Tbey know
that back in 1894 the agreement wasmade
between Butler and Pritcbard as to the
senatorial matter and bat there were
witnesses, etc. Tbevalso know that But
ler let t'rltcharii understand that la tak
ing the short term In 1808 there was a
pledge for his re-electiou to 1897 and
that this would give bim eight years to
Butler's six. - , -
- The talk of the fusloniafTabout put
tlug up Marlon Butler for Governor-and

Senator and Adams Governo:." The
Rt'pitbllcaus sny Uutler can control more
.Populists; than, any other man. ' They
really appe tr to believe tbnt Butler Is the
entire t'opnllst party. - Of course be
wants them to have precisely that belief,
