tain Victory.

CHICAGO, Oct. 14-A meeting of the
executive committee Of the Peoples
party was hel d 1T the Sherman hotel
during the day All members were
present with the exception of John S.
Dore of California. After hearing re-
ports from members present and espe-
cially from H. W.. Reed of Georgia,
who spent several days with Thomas E..
Watson, the committee issued a mani
festo calling upon every sincere oppo-
nent Of the gold standard to support
the joint electoral tickets named in the
several states and thus prevent the
election of Mckinley. The manifesto
continues:
1.-The danger lies in the possibility of
a certain portion of the rank and file of
the Peoples party being misled by So
called leaders, who for reasons best
known to themselves or for want of
reason are advising voters to rebel
against the joint electoral tickets and
put up separate electoral tickets, or to
withhold their support from the joint
electoral tickets.'
Is Rebuke to Watson.
The members of the committee ad-
mitted after the meeting that this
statement is in the nature of rebuke
to Watson, who has been calling on all
PopuIists to keep in the middle of the
road without paying attention to either
of the other parties.
Early in the afternoon Senator Ma
rion Butler said that Mr.. Watson would
remain on the ticket and that his re-
moval had not been discussed. A diff
ferent story was given out after the
meeting, when 1t was said Mr.. Watson
had been the chief subject under dis
cussion during the day.

add that he would not accept a nomination
which should come to him in any other
than an honorable manner-would command
the instant and general confidence of the

to an extent greater than any other Repub-

that he has been tested in the pres

tectionist he is the peer of any, but
he is more than that; he is a patriot, level
stands four-square TO all the public currents
of his time.
Perhaps even more than Major Mckinley,
he would, as the prospective President. inn
part to the troubled world of business a
sense of security and feeling that danger

inauguration. We say perhaps more than

we have been somewhat surprised thar
the popular demand for a second Harrison
administration was not more marked
throughout the country than 1t seemed to
have been prior TO the publication of the
ex-President's letter withdrawing his name
from use in this direction. Accustomed as
we have been to regard Benjamin Harrison
as plainly the ablest man developed by the
politics of the past decade, and feeling
sure that his return to the White House
would be welcomed by every clement in our
complex citizenship, save possibly the poll

Speaker Reed Is Being Urged to With
draw from Public Life.

Washington Post.
Notwithstanding the denial of the Speaker s
friends. there is excellent authority for the
statement that Mr.. Reed Is being strongly
urged to retire from pubic life at the close
or this term. He will then have served
twenty consecutive years. during four of
dignity to which he would again be elevated
were he member Of the next House. In
retiring from a public career which has
been conspicuously brilliant the Speaker
would consult largely his own inclinations,
and particularly those of his family, who
have since the Fifty-first Congress- urged
him TO withdraw from politics and devote
the remainder of his days TO the practice OF
law. He has not positively decided that
he will do SO. but there Is a strong expecta-
ton that this will be his final determine
ton.
1t is believed that Mr.. Reed will formally
announce his intention not to be again a
candidate for Congress after the meeting OF
the Republican national convention next
month. The congressional elections occur in
Maine the middle Of September. and the
days previously. 1t Is understood that Mr..
Reed will make pubic his intentions in
ample time for the aspiring politicians in
cession. 1t is doubted If he retire from Con-
gress that he VIII locate again in Portland.

business would have been thrown in his
way to enable him TO earn during the in

1t is also said IN this connection that the
reports which couple Mr. Reeds name with
the secretaryship of state under the next
administration are not well founded. Mr..
Reeds purpose In resuming the practice OF
law would be to accumulate sufficient means
to render him independent. But for this
inducement he would remain in the House,
where he has been for many years brilliant

relinquish even for the glittering rewards of
a premiership.
