"The Washington Post quotes Sena-
tor Marion Butler, our National Chair
man, al saying that Bryan and Wat
son will not be notified of their nomi-
nations; that it has never been the
custom of our party to notify its nomi-
nees and that Gems. Weaver and Field
were not notified in 1892.
ssThis is the second time Chairman
Butler has been quoted to the same
effect, and we therefore presume he
has spoken as reported.
"If Senator Butler will hunt up any
Populist paper containing an account
of the National Convention of 1882
the first our party ever held-he will
find the speeches of acceptance made
by Gen. James B. Weaver, nominee
for President, and Gen. James q.
Field, nominee for Vice-President.
They were both notified Of their
nominations and made speeches of
acceptance to the committee itself.
In the National Waterman of July Is,
1892, Senator Butler will find these
speeches. If nominees are not noti-
fed in person or by letter, and do not
respond by speech or letter, how is
the party to know whether the nomi-
nees accept the nomination and in
dorse the platform?
TWO QUESTIONS ASKED.
eff the National Convention at st.
Louis did not mean that Bryan and
Watson should be notified, why was a
committee appointed to notify them?
"Why does Senator Allen, Chair
man of that committee, refuse to do
what the convention instructed him
to do? Is he afraid Mr.. Bryan will
r~epudiate our supports"

A coRKING HOT RACE.
Princess Ali Wins the 2::26 Trot After
q Hard Fought Battle With
Robert Borrower
Fast Mile.

be one of the most hotly contested
races of the week. At the finish of
the fourth heat it was nobody's race,
with darkness coming on. Billy Car
ter's Princess Ali had two heats and
Charley Webster's Robert B. the
same number. Many thought Car
ter's little mare could not come back
and win again after falling to third
place twice, but she just fooled 'em
and in the deciding heat made the
fastest time of the race. Billy had
his nerve with him this heat and
madea great drive, realizing it was
his only salvation.
Charley Webster, who drove Robert
B., a good Illinois horse, sent him to
the front and it begun to look along
about the fourth heat that he stood
for first money, but in the next he
fell to third place and had to be salts
fed with second.
George Lee refined Angie and she
was up with the gang in all the FIVE
heats and the longer she trotted the
better she became, the summary
showing she finished second in the
last three heats. Angie is a large,
stylish, tine-gaited mare with a won
derfully good way of going.
Emma Carroll was lame from dry
thresh in her right hind foot, but it
was thought she might work out of it
and che was started. She proved to
be going so unsteady and finally be-
came 80 lame that the judges allowed
her to be drawn. If she had been
right it would doubtless have been
even a better race. As it was, it was
a corker.

In this race nine starters showed
up, but at the finish only five went
under the wire. The other four, as
the race progressed, dropped behind
the banner. Lewista won in straight
heats, her second mile being the fast
est of the wrek. Nellie R. made a
fine showing, Dunn doing good work
behind her. Luckie John paced a
