A reflection on the 1892 populist convention in St Louis and its lasting impact. The piece notes how populist planks like eight hour day and direct vote influenced 1912 party platforms while money issuance and public utilities policies remained unrealized. It concludes that two great parties endure as others fade, with old ideologies absorbed.
The piece explains that electors chosen by parties in states have duties but no legal rights to a specific vote. It notes electors are elected by plurality, can vote freely, and need not follow the ticket’s preferred candidate. It argues the plurality winner’s electors typically represent the party’s wishes.
The piece argues that electors can vote for candidates outside their party though warns such actions harm reputations and trust. It stresses the duty to honor the ticket chosen and warns against betrayal, noting legal rights exist but moral right to remain on a ticket is disputed. It references Progressive party shifts and beliefs about electoral responsibility. It also contemplates China’s republic and governance issues.
The Republic of China will fail due to deep rooted traditions and vast population. A republic requires big cash and deep social change, but China’s one man rule and centuries of customs hinder rapid transition. Provinces resist centralized power and demand autonomy as the empire confronts a costly push toward modernization.
The piece argues against crediting Lowry Watkins with being the original advocate of woman suffrage in Michigan. It notes the suffrage movement's long history, mentions editor involvement in 1874 debates and referendum, and emphasizes not inflating one individual's role.
