WASHINGTON, ID. c., Nov. 15.-sena-
tor Marion Butler, chairman of the Popu-
list National Campaign Committee. TODAY
made public the following letter which he
addressed to Mr.. Watson two days after
the receipt of his letter of acceptance:
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. rs, 1896.
- Hon Thomas z. Watson, Thomson, Gd.--DEAR
Sik: Your letter OF acceptance was received
saturday night. 1t had been detained in the
postoffice for want of sufficient postage.
You, in effect, advise Populists not to sup
port the joint electoral tickets that have been
arranged in large number of States. Is 1t
posi- BILE that you fully appreciate the effect OF
such advice? At least, upon reflection, you
must know that if enough Populists should
follow such advice it would mean the defeat Of
Bryan and the election of Mckinley.
Besides, If your advice should be followed
by enough Populi>ts, the Peoples party would
not have single eleetor in the electoral col
lege. In the States where we have JOINT elec-
toral tickets we will get every elector that we
do get; and besides, it is in those States where
we will get the bulk, If not all of the Peoples
party Congressman. In your own Stale and
The San Francisco call., 1896-11-16

! other States which have followed your advice
against electoral tickets we Will not get
single elector, and fear not many congress
men, ffany.
You certainly cannot mean, however much
you may have favored q middle-0f-tne-road
policy in the beginning, TO advise your lends
to do that which at this time would be the
most effective agency in placing i'll power Nc
Kinley and his backers-the trusts and mo-
nopolies. Can any personal or party lnJus-
tice, however great, justify US in being respon-
sible, either directly or indirectly, for placing
in power the stock jobbers, monopollsts,
trusts. the British gold ring, and all OF tne
combined robbers of the people and enemies
OF good government?
In the name of outraged and suffering hui
manity, whose prayers to-day go up from mill
ions of homes for William J. Br yam in his heroic
and marvellous struggle against the minions OF
corporate greed and the hellish gold conspr-
acy, let US sink every other consideration and
mold up his hands and do the full duty of
Americans and patriots. Let remember
mat IL Is suffering people and betrayed
repuolic, ana not Democratic politicians, that
to-day call for our help and demand our serv-
ices. Bryan will be elected and the Govern
ment redeemed If every patriot does his duty.
Let US do ours.
Therefore beseech You to change at least that
part OF your letter which gives advice which,
II followed, would surely help the common
enemy. III you do not then YOU Yourself
must assume the responsibility of giving such
document to the public at this time. Yours

Representative Charles A. Russell of
Connecticut, a mem Der of the Committee
on Ways and Means, says:
The patriotic and businessllke duty of the
coming session of Congress-the last session
of the Fitty-fourth Congress-is TO provide
revenue for the needs of the Government.
That should be done by proper and reason
able increase of custom duties. 1t could be
effected by the adoption of the revenue meas
ure tDingley billy which the House passed at
the last session, or some measure on the same
lines. We have gone through successfully an
election where partisanship was put aside,
and now Congress should put aside its par
tisanship in providing for the necessities of
the Government and doing 1t Immediately. If
this be done business will be further bene-
flied, and possibly an extra session of the new
Congress will be unnecessary.
CHARLES A. RUSSELL.
Representative Steele of Indiana ex-
presses Ms opinion as follows:
Ihope that the Senate viii agree to the bill
to provide temporary relief for the Govern
ment and meet the deficiency in the revenue
and one providing for advertising the sale of
bonds and providing for temporary loan,
that were reported from the Committee on
Ways ana Means and passed the House last
December. Both were, In my estimation,
reasonable, judicious meas ures, and if the
Senate would agree TO them it would put us In
such shape as TO obviate an extra session of
Congress. / am, very respectfully,

Colonel Mapleson late tonight said /:
"The new Imperial Opera Company does
not owe either Nine. Darcle or Sig. De-
march, one cent. On the contrary, she
has over $1,000 of our money. This money
was paid them by the directors as an ad-
vance. The understanding was that they
were TO sing until that money had been
earned, when we were to advance them 9TH

and despite the advance money she held

rather than have discussion. When she
sang the second time a similar demand
for the $220 was made and we paid again.
"Now the whole truth is here. Accord
ing to the terms of our contract Nine.

season and she was to be paid $1,000 for

cities where she might be a favorite. To
this she demurred, saying she should

so. She no doubt felt dissatisfied because
she had not made better showing here
and naturally was trifle piqued.
THE same state of affairs existed in re.
gard to the signor. Then they made no a
proposition to return to Europe and tor

turn told them what the directors would
