as a stalwart Populist. have good news
for all who seek for genuine reformation
of National affairs on broad lines. All our
positive information gained as we proceed
on our way goes to show that the Bryan
craze is already on the decline. We have
read Teller's letter to Bryan and it did not
elicit single expression of regret, but
more than one said:
"Good; we are well rid OF demoralix-
ing influence which has distracted some
Populists who have given Bryan as can.
didate of union forces"
Our delegation is in full agreement on
the plan of union set forth in our State
platform. We favor union of the reform
forces, without the surrender of our party
principles. We are unalterably opposed
to fusion. Our party integrity must be
preserved. On this matter we are inhex-
ible. This is the attitude of our party in
the South. Taubeneck and others see the
mistake they made in reference to Bryan.
They have abandoned Bryan and favor
straight Populist action. Nothing is more
certainly indicative of the great change
among such Popuhsts as have been favor
able to Bryan.
The bold attempt of the silver Democra-
cy to supplant the Peoples party by
adopting the silver issue and the attempt
of Teller TO turn silver Republicans to
Bryan will render an honorable union
with Populists impossible as it now APP
pears, and upon the Bryan and Teller
elements must rest the responsibility of
dividing the silver forces with all the con-
sequences which are certain to follow.
Probably nothing could be done in the
present situation of our country which
would result in such decided advantage to
the Peoples party as a permanent Ma
tional organization, though it comes as a
result following the rejection by the Bryan
and Teller elements OF the overtures III
favor of union made by the Populists.
Our ride through Kansas to-day has
been thoroughly enjoyable, the weather
being comfortably cool and the sky COW
cred with thick clouds. 1t has not been a
strictly observed Sunday as church people
observe it, but it has been a decidedly de-
votional day among our delegates-devo-
tional to their country. This feeling has
found expression in a rallying cry perpe-
trated by ]. r. Welch of San Jose, which
IS SnouCeu aI the people gathered at the

We are thirty nine, hewing to the Incl
Gold, silver, paper, that's the true caDerl"
At Pueblo last evening Judge Daggett of
Visalia joined the delegation, he having
come ahead to Denver to attend to some
legal business. He is an uncompromising
Populist, and goes so far as to oppose any
alliance with any silver forces whatever.
If Teller carries the silver Republicans
over to Bryan. as 70 doubt he will, the
genuine Populists will simply ignore these
silver conglomerates who. as old party
men, have much in common and little in
common with Populists, and there Judge
Daggett will have a party with which he
is in full sympathy.

PLEDGE TO POPULISTS.
Bryan's Managers Said to Have
Made satisfactory Over
lures.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 19.-On the best
authority it can be stated that the late
meeting of certain of the the Populist
leaders with Senator Jones has definitely
fixed a basis for Endorsement of Bryan.
Senator Jones was introduced to the meet
ing by Senator Stewart. There were sixty
leaders present, representing every section
of the country. Senator Peffer was chair
man. Hon. Tom Patterson of Colorado,
Lewelling, Yonge, Daniels and Breiden-
thai of Kansas, Fred Bailey Of Oklahoma
and Cantwell were among the prominent
conferrees. Senator Jones stated that his
mission was to secure the support of the
Populists for Bryan. He spoke for ten
minutes. and at his conclusion all we're of
one mind. The telling points of his
appeal were these:
Bryan will know no party distinctions
among those who support him, but will
recognize all as patriots working for a
common cause. The Populists will not be
consid red dependent stepchildren of the
Democratic party"
The applause and handshaking that fol-
lowed was sure indication that bargain
was ratified, but the actual terms are not
made public.

Ashore off Pigeon Point (yia Pescadero,
CALI, July 19.-This was visiting day on
the luckless Colon bia. From different
directions all kinds OF vehicles, from stage
coaches to bicycles, began to arrive at the
cove early, and by 10 o'clock the beach
was crowded with visitors. Ex-Mayor
Ellert and party of gentlemen from San
Francisco came on wheels, and Santa
Cruz sent a'large delegation to the scene.
1t was also visiting day in the lighthouse
and many embraced the opportunity to
mount the winding stairs of the tower to
the lamp at the top, 300 feet above the sea.
A large number OF people boarded the
stranded steamer and were permitted to
wander through the empty saloons and
staterooms and gather mementoes at will.
They looked down in the flooded holds,
where broken cases and ruined merchan-
disc were washing about, and, into the
engine-room, where the great engines lie
drowned. Captain Clark at first objected
to having crowd of visitors aboard of the
wreck, but not wishing to disappoint those
who came alongside kindly permitted
them to come aboard.
''If they can see anything of interest
around the poor Colombia let them come"
he said YEARLY.
At o'clock In the afternoon the Pacific
Coast steamship Corona arrived from San
Francisco, crowded with passe ngers and
gayly decora ted with bunting. startling
contrast to the other steamer helpless on
the rocks. 1t has been beautiful calm,
with the sea smooth as glass, consequently
the entire round trip was like a bay outing
to the excursionists. Colombia Cove,
cove red with small boats loaded with
people going to and from the wreck, did
not have the appearance of being the
graveyard of five good ships that have
gone to destruction on its reefs.
Aboard of the stranded vessel the crew
was engaged in sending down booms and
removing such parts of the machinery as
we're above the water, and otherwise
finishin the stripping of the steamer. A
portion of the 600 or 700 tons of the cargo
is probably uniniured in the afterhold.
This will be taken out if the wea ther con-
tinues favorable. After the Pacific Mail
Company has removed all articles pos
sible to get at, the hulk will be sold to the
highest bidder.
The steamer is tightly wedged in the
rocks and hardly moves to the heave of
the sea, and so even is she on her keel
that she appears to be riding safely at
anchor. The forward portion of the bot
tom must be totally gone, for the swell
rises and tails in the hold as outside.
At 4 O'Clock the Corona raised her
anchor. saluted the Colo nh bia by dipping
her colors and departed for San Francisco.
