"B. o. s." of Audrain Wants the Ref
erendum, Whatever That is.

The following letter from Audrain
county appears in the Missouri World,
a Populist paper published at Chilli
cothe, Mo. The signature, b. o. s.,
we presume stands for B. o. Sims,
who has lately been nominated for
Congress in this district by the Popu-
lists. The letter is unique in some
particulars, to say the least:
Ed. World.--What is the difference
between the silver men and the gold
men? What Ia the difference between
Mr.. Teller and Mr.. Sherman? What is
the difference between Mr.. Bland and
Mr.. Cleveland? When the people find
that out, they will find the milk in the
cocoanut. The leading silver men all
want silver coinage as a redemption
money. 1t is claimed that there is sill
yer and gold enough to transact only
five per cent of the business of this
country, and that is about equally di-
vided; then that would make a differ
ence of 2R per cent between Dick and
Grover, or Harry and John, and leave
a difference of 30 per cent between the
above mentioned frauds and the men
who demand a scientific, up-to-date
money. And yet our national chair
man is leading the fight for Teller. II
he is SO devilish anxious to indorse
someone that has a show for election,
why don't he pull for Mckinley? His
action is an insult to all men that are
intelligent enough on the money ques-
ton to be Populists. We are asked to
drop everything and help install the
silver redemption frauds in office. Now
suppose we should do that-what have
we gained? Just 2R per cent. The
action of the silver Democrats looks u
little fishy to me; l believe there is
something dead up the branch. They
are working with might and main to
carry the Chicago convention for sill
yer. Could they possibly do anything
to assist the gold men more than to do
that? If there is not q trick in their
movement, they have less n than
Thompson's colt. Surely they can see
that the gold standard would be easier
defeated with two candidates than one.
If they we're honest in their efforts to
defeat Mckinley and the gold standard
they would put Cleveland and Carlisle
on a gold platform at Chicago, and di-
vide the gold standard vote. Does
anybody think that Bland, Bryan or
such like, don't Q that pointP Yes,
they dc. Then why don't they do it,
If they did, the people would vote the
Peoples party ticket, we would get the
referendum, and they as politicians
would be out of a job.
In this school district two years ago
we had two votes, now we have a Pop
| club with twenty-four members, with
about sixty more on the mourners'
bench. We meet twice a month
Grover did it with his little Ratchet. II
Mckinley does half as much for us as
| Grover has, it will be unanimous in
1900. We want Coxey's nom interest
bond bill in place of the ~subtreasury
| plank, then we will make the fur fly,

DEMOCRATS of Missouri should be
very active in organizing to carry the

very clearly in the following that an

TO have Missouri 60 Republican. The

II ISSUES A CALL.
A Mass Meeting of Kansas City Dem,
ocrats Who Oppose the Bryan
Platform to Be Held.
From the Kansas CitY Star.

l.. u. hrautnCu, VINO Went 10 SHicd-
go to attend the executive conference
of gold standard Democrats, will re-
turn tomorrow. AS Dor as possible
after his return, probably Monday, a
conference of sound money Democrats
will be held to call a mass meeting for
some night next week.
Attorney j. Med. Trimble mailed
copies of the following letter yester-
day morning to 200 prominent gold
standard Democrats of this city:
az do not believe in the unlimited
coinage of gold and silver at the ratio
| of 16 to 1 when their market value is
about 80 to i. | do not believe that
the unlimited coinage of both metals
will double the market value of silver
so as to make sixteen ounces of silver
worth one ounce of gold. lido not be-
lieve the government can make six
teen ounces of silver worth as much
as thirty.tw ounce of silver by sim
ply saying SO, any more than it can
make six inches as long as a foot by
saying so.
"I do not believe that the interests
of good government a be promoted
by denouncing the course of President
Cleveland and approving the course
of Altgeld and Debs in relation to the
Chicago riots.
~ believe that the principles of the
Chicago platform, if made the law OF
the land, would give us an unsound
currency with all its attending evils,
and would be subversive of many OF
the essential principles of a good and
safe government.
"For the first time in my life find
that / cannot vote for the doctrines
announced in a (so-called) Democrat
ic platform without doing violence to
my patriotism.
'I am led to believe that many
other lifelong Democrats hold views
similar to mine, as above expressed,
and it occurs to me that all such per-
sons should get together and confer
upon the situation and take some
steps to promote their W views and
resist the errors of the Chicago plat
form by some open, positive and man
ly action.
81 write this to ask you to inform
me in confidence whether you are in
favor of a conference of the sound
money Democrats of Missouri to con-
suit and agree upon the best course
for us to pursue.
"Please answer oon and oblige.
~. Med. TRIMBLE."
Several of the Democrats who had
received the letter called at Mr.. Trim
ble's office late yesterday afternoon te
assure him that they were in accord
with his views. Letters from eighteen
other Democrats with the same views
were received by Mr.. Trimble this
morning.
At the mass meeting to be hello
next week there will be speeches by
prominent Democrats. Fred w. Leh'
man, the st. Louis attorney, will prob
ably be one of the speakers. MIR
Lehman stumped the State for the
Democratic party in the campaign o
four years ago. He was considered
then the most persuasive stump speak
err in the State. Mr.. Lehman was one
of the delegates from Missouri to the
executive conference of gold Demo

THos. E. WATSON, nominated by the
Populists for Vice. President, says he
Ia going to stick. His last utterance
in reference to the matter is as fol-

withdraw. Petty selfshness must not

IT begins to look as though the Pop
ulists wanted to be popular this year
and have a bolt in their convention.
Referring to this matter, the st. Louis

his office in the Court House. A

Mexico weekly ledger., 1896-07-30

THE National Committee of the
Populist party will probably secure
the withdrawal of Watson as the nom-
inee for ce-President and substitute
the name of Sewall. Just before the
National Convention adjourned the
following action was taken, which
gives the committee full power:
George H. Abbott, OF Nebraska,
moved that the National Committee
be given plenary powers in all things
connected with the party after the
adjournment of the convention. There
was some dissent, but Chairman Allen
quickly declared the motion carried.

Gov. Holcomb Says he Will be the

LINCOLN, NEB., July 27.-"There il
no doubt in my mind" said Governor
Holcomb to-day, "but that Mr.. Bryan
will accept the Populist nomination foI
President, and his election will be a
Populist victory as we'll as a Demo
cratic one. A fusion on electors, with
both Sewall. and Watson for Vice
President, is practicable. This will
elect Bryan and the electors a select
which of the two shall be Vice-Presi-

The Governor was a visitor at MIR,
Bryan's house during a portion of the
time Chairman Jones was there, an6
it is believed he speaks by the card,
Governor Holcomb stated positively
that there would be complete fusion
between the Populists and free silver
Democrats, and says Bryan will re-
ceive 10000 of the 200, 900 votes Ne
braska will cast. He figures the Re-
