POPOCRATLC CONFERENCE.
BY Jones, Butler Mnd Washburn-Wat-
sons Letter May Never be Published.


Chicago, Oct. Ex-senator Butler,
mittec, who arrived here last night, has,
with Vice Chairman Washburn, been
in consultation with Chairman Jones of
the democratic national committee today.
They have gone over the details of the
campaign at considerable length together.
They authorize no statement, but it is
understood that they agree in CHASING
Minnesota, Michigan and Indiana as a
certainty for Bryan. Much time was
spent in discussing, the aspect as affected
by the populist vote and Senator Jones
was assured by Messrs. Butler and
Washburn that the vote would be prac-
tically unanimous for Bryan.
1T is" said Senator Butler, lin much
better shape than we could have hoped
for mt the beginning of the campaign.
There are, to be sure, few states in
which Il fusion has not been arranged.
but there has been no failure in any
state where Bryan's chances could be i'm

could be no apprehension that Mr.. Wat
son would do anything to mperil Mr..
Bryan's chances. His much discussed
letter of acceptance will not be given to
the public. Senator Butler will not give
it out, and it is understood that Mr. Wat
son has also agreed to withhold it.

ANOTHER PLAINTIyE VAIL.
A Populist Committeeman Says Hanna
COntemplates Wholesale Bribery.

Washington, Oct. 29.-Frey Edgerton
of the populist national committee today
issued the following statement:
The preposterous claims made by the
republicans in regard to the election of
Mckinley are made with the idea of
fraud in all doubtful states. Mckinley,
on fair vote, is beaten now by an over
whelming majority. The republicans
realize this yet they make claims of an
enormous majority for Mckinley, but
give no figures to back up their claims.
They depend upon outright purchase of
election boards to furnish majorities they
are predicting"
Mr.. Edgerton then cites a number Of
states claimed by the republicans and
presents counter claims to show that
.tniGcyy will be carried by Bryan and con-
tinues.
"Why do they make these claims :?
Simply bccause they are depending. not
upon any evidence they now have of vic
rory for Mckinley, but on what they
think Hanna's immense campaign fund
May do.
1--WE have evidence that in the elec-
ton next Tuesday frauds will be attempt
ed on the most stupendous scale jn Anler-
lean politics. The plan Is to buy up
election boards and wherever possible to
"N'huiiS ltiulhS. lDui illt llltH
on which they depend is as follows:
I'm each precinct of the doubtful states
they will buy up purchasable men in
this way; They will give man SO
or SI5 and pledge him that after elec.
ton they will give him so much more if
he holds the vote of that precinct to a
certain figure. They will buy as many
men in each precinct as they can find
for sale. Already in each doubtful state
they have cappers bought up by the
hundreds to handle republican money on
The last two days before election and on
election day and the plan will not be to
buy men outright, but to give, them so
much money with pledge to double the
amount if they hold the vote of their pre-
cinct to a certain figure,
1--WE have indsputablc evidence that
this is the plan on which Mark Hanna
and his under hirelings place their de.
pendence.
IF he does not contemplate wholesale
bribery in the election. why has he col
lected such an immense campaign fund
fund which probably already reaches
many millions of dollars? He can moi
spend so much money for the legitimat,
expenses of the campaign. Then fol
what purpose does he intend to use it
if not for wholesale bribery?
'rhe anticipation of what this none,
may do furnishes the basis of thei
claims, which, the republican managers
are now making.
1--WE warn the free silver men in al
parts of the country, and especially in thu
doubtful states, to be ON the alert an,
we notify all republican heelers who pro
pose to distribute this doodle that tn
penitentiary awaits every man who i
caught attempting bribery, coercion o
fraud in this election"
Mr.. Edgerton also said.
II never saw Mr.. Watson's letter o
acceptance until Monday last when Sen
ator Butler called me up to his hous
and read it to me. / was very muc
surprised that man of Mr.. Watson
standing should make such an insinua
ton when he had not a scintilla of ey
dence to back it up"

SENSATIONAL STORY DENIED.
Reported in Chicago That the American
Flag was Insulted by \. r. U. Men.

Chicago, Oct. 29.-A sensational story

situation prevailing here, the report
created considerable excitement. Inquiry

of sympathy and contrition to many
eyes. illustrating the matchless power of
