but We nope to vote and Be united
'Tt IS rumored that Mr. Watson will be
Withdrawn"
This will not be done. The selection Of
Mr.. Watson was O deliberate action by an
overwhelming vote and voiced the senti-
meat Of delegates fresh from the people,
who themselves had deHberated upon the
situation since the Chicago convention.
The peoples party. in its desire TO reform
forces so as 10 make victory possible, met
the Democratic party more than half way
by taking their candidate for President
We could not unite upon Mr. S5wai, and
il ws had attempted 10 Go 50 1t would have
Cis1rgau.zej cur own forces and end2n-
gered the election of Mr.. Bryan. Ii is in
no wise a reflection upon Mr.. Sswan and
We 90 not believe that ne or his friends
Will so consider IT, On the contrary, We
hope that he is patriotic enough TO put
THE SUCCESS OF THE CAUSE
and welfare of ths country above personal
interests or aspirations. In short Mr..
S5wal is the one man in the United States
who row has il in MS power TO completely
unity the silver forces and make victory
over the gold combine absolutely certain.
This is the unanimous opinion Of our ex-
ecudve committee"

by the free siiver.tes:
"Ta5 free silver movement in my State

,a.uk q majority of IT'S ciuzns are
FOR THE WHITE METAL.
I cannot. however. estimate what the vote
f-- Bryan at the coming election will ag-
sr5sate. When G.. +. Williams returned
from the Chicago Convention. where he
was the only NlassaChus5 It's delegate &c
advocate free silver. there was a demon
--r3-i.c IN his honor that the Boston Globe
declared 70 have been the greatest ever
seen in the State. This Is an indication Of
the feeling there. Williams will be th'
candidate for Governor on the free silver
: ticket. and while Massachusetts, has never
, been carried by the Democrats in Pres
I ilertial year, we think he stands good
| show for election.
Candidates fer Congress will also bc

/ fight Will Toe for Bryan"
