NEW YORK, July 27.-The World this

statement from Thompson. Ca, signed
Thomas e. Watson:
To the questions asked reply as fol-
lows:
First-I will run the race to the end.
Second-I will make the fight even If
sewall does not withdraw.
Third-My opinion of the Fifty-second
congress, which was arraigned in my
book, has undergone no change.
FOURTH am not political trader
and will not resign in Sewall's favor
even If offered cabinet position.
Having answered your questions
please allow me to state briefly my
reasons for the replies to questions Nos.
one and two:
allow the use Of my name to save my
party from extinction.
In my opinion, the continued existence
of the Peoples party is indispensable
to the success of free silver.
For me to withdraw would be for me
to sign the death warrant Of my party.
Ours is the party Of free silver, and we
maintained that principle while the
| Democratic party in 1892 and 1893 was
making war upon it, We do not think
our party should now close UP and quit
| business simply because the Democrats
| have partially duplicated our sign
| board. If the Democrats are so unreas-
| enable as to refuse us Populists Of the
south any recognition at all, that fact
| should show that the real purpose of the
| apparent adoption of our principles Is
| sincere, tney VIII NOT try TO put upon us
any such terms that every man In oul
party at the south will feel insulted and
humiliated.
| If Mr.. Bryan did not want our support
Senator Jones had no business at St
Louis at all. If Mr.. Bryan does want
our support he ought to be willing to
adopt the policy which will most certain
ly assure him that support and that
policy is to accept as a running mate a
southern Populist named by the unan-
imous voice of the Populist national
convention. Our party has gone to the
extreme limit Of generosity in the effort
to procure union of the silver forces.
We did not claim first place on the ma
tional ticket. We are content with the

One notified him of his nomination as
governor by the Democratic state con-
vention. In this letter the loyal support
of the Democracy Of Maine was pledged
to Mr.. Winslow.
To this letter of notification Wins
low replied as follows:
Gentlemen: Your letter of June Path,
informing me Of the action of the Dem
ocratic state convention held In Port
land on June 18th, which made me the
unanimous choice of the convention as
candidate for governor to be voted for
at the approaching election. was duly re-
ceived, and in reply would say deeply
feel the honor conferred upon me, and
I am profoundly grateful to the Democ-
racy of Maine for the confidence they
have placed In me in placing me In nom
ination as their standard bearer. The
platform adopted by the state conven-
tion, which has declared for single
gold standard, Is plain, and 1t was upon
this platform that 1 was nominated, and
I could not, even had I so desired, ac-
cept this nomination under any other
circumstances than to stand firmly upon
the platform made by the Democratic
party of Maine.
The Democratic national convention
adopted a platform declaring for the
free and unlimited coinage Of silver, and
there is a strong pressure brought to
bear to have me announce myself in ia
vor of the national convention, which
did not consider was right to do in ac-
cepting the nomination as 1t was ten
dered to me by the state convention
There have been many expressions on
the part of the Democrats of Maine in
regard to my duty, but it has been plain
| to me at all times that there was but one
| thing for me to do, and that was for me
to stand firmly by the Maine platform.
| Since the Democratic national conven-
ton 1t has been thought advisable to
| hold some meetings of conference with
| the members of the state committee and
the leading members of the Democratic
party, that full and free expressions
might be obtained, and 1t was plainly
shown that wide difference of opinion
existed, and many of the Democrats Of
Maine thought 1t my duty to come for
ward and endorse the Democratic ma
tional platform.
l have given no expression up TO tns
present time as to what should do. bu
have given the matter a great deal o.
thought and study, and see but one thing
for me to do, and stand as I wish will
the people of Maine.
That is to decline the nomination 81
kindly rendered me, and I assure yo'
that no one regrets this more than I do
| Tt ic yeryy avi5apt from the FREQ exDreS
sions of opinion that If I wish to secur'
the vote of the Democratic party I shal
be obliged to harmonize with both tn

cannot do under any circumstances.

WICHITA, Kan, July 26.-The week
just closed has witnessed the liveliest
grain trade in Central and Southern
Kansas that these sections have expe-
rienced In five years. Just now the bulk
OF the old corn from this section is going

ers from northern, eastern and southern
points are all buying heavily. The ship
ments, while enormous, do not in any
sense represent the business done. as a
very large amount of corn has been con-
tracted for but Is held awaiting cars.
"A great deal Of the corn is in unroofed
bins, and on account Of the recent rains
1T Is too wet to shell.
A Kansas City dispatch says the grain
rate war which has been waged for the
past week will, according to the state
ments OF several leading traffic men of
that city, practically be concluded when
the next cut in rates is made. This, it
is anticipated will occur in a few DAYS

such rate will be put in force, possibly
tomorrow. The rate is less than ac-

| KANSAS CITY, July 26.-L. G. Kraut-

conference of gold standard Democrats
returned to this city today 1t is said
in connection with his return that, as
soon as possible, probably Monday, a
conference Of gold standard Democrats
will be held to call a mass meeting for
some night this week.

less prominent local Democrat, yester-
day mailed copies of the following letter
to 200 prominent gold standard Demo-
Gratis Of this city:
Il do not believe in the unlimited COIN
age of gold and silver at the ratio of 1e
to l when their market value is about
81 to l. do not believe that the unlim-
tied coinage Of both metals will double
the market value Of silver so as to make
1t ounces of silver worth ounce of gold.
do not believe the government can make
16 ounces Of silver worth as much as
80 ounces Of silver simply by saying so,
any more than it can make six inches
as long as foot by saying so.
II do not believe that the interests of
good government can be promoted by
denouncing the course of President
Cleveland and approving the riotous
course of Altgeld and Debs in relation to
the Chicago riots. 1 believe that the
principles Of the Chicago platform. If
made the law Of the land, would give us
an unsound currency with all its attend
ing evils and would be subversiye of
many Of the essential principles of good
and safe government
