cd that upon no consideration will
the name of Mr.. Watson toe with
drawn from the ticket. For that
| | waited. | hoped that il woald
not, and am glad that the Pco-
pies party will not permit Itself to
be submerged into Bourbon Dem
ocracv. Had the Democratic par
ty pl.ced upon is ticket with Mr..
Bryan running mate equal TO
himself or Tom Watson, would
have said Support the ticket, NJ
matter whether the nominees be la
baled Democratic, Peoples party,
or by any other name Bat the
Democratic convention saw fit to
place upon the ticket with Mr..
Bryan a man who is national
banker, railroad magnate, and a
millionaire. In himself and in his
career as a citizen Mr.. Sewall is
beyond reproach, but this year,
when we, the plain common people
of the United States, propose to
reassume control of the govern
ment, it is not fit that man, how
ever pure his private life. however
honest his dealings with his fellow
men, should be our candidate so
long as he is tainted with the ma
tional banking system, which we
contend is the most damnable sys-
TEN ever dreamed OF by Satan, and
foisted upon the people of the
United States by miserable hire
lings such as John Sherman.
The question today is not between
BRYAN and Mckinley, but betv cen
Watson and Sewall. Bryan will
be elected. Every Dcmocr 1t, who
is Democrat. every Populist, eve
ry Silyerite, every honest Repnhli-
can will vote for Bryan and shall it
be required of us, the Peoples
party, that VIC commit hari kari,
that we commit selt-immolation on
the shrine of Arthur Sewall No !!
If the Democratic parry be ces-
troyed, obliterated and wiped ont,
the Peoples party will yet remain
TO save this nation from the usu-
rcrs and monopolists who threat
en- it, but let the Peoples party
be destroyed and the Democratic
party will fall back into its old
rut and this nation will march on
to Rothschild, Hanna, Mckinley
era OF slavery and subserviency.
The members of the Peoples par
ty must demand that in each state
they have share of the electoral
vote, or else put up separate elec-
toraI tickets. The reason for the
preceding remarks is that the cam
paign of the Democratic party, in
stead of being conducted by Mr..
Bryan AMI the men who are in
sympathy with the new reform
movement, has fallen into the hands
of a lot of old Bourbon Democrats
who don't know the difference be-
tween silver dollar and a gold
dollar unless they pass il over the
bar. They have tried to get Sena-
tors Hill, German and Brice to
fall into line in. this campaign,
when your readers know that we
despise those people and do not
wish them in any movement of the
people. That will show your read
ers what kind of a campaign the
Democrats are running. Senator
Jones has gone to Chicago leaving
broken pledges behind him. Let
him go. The Peoples party can
do without him and the rest of the
Bourbon Democrats.
Much comment was reused by
Thurston's attack upon Bryan.
Thurston charged Bryan with re-
ceiving money from the silver mine
owners for making speeches in the
past few years. Senator Stewart
gave Thurston the lie. Thurston
