SENATOR BUTLER'S REPLY
An Ante.Election Address To Tom
Watson.
TELLS THOMAS WHY HIS LETTER
WAS WITHHELD.

A Document Which Betrays Much Anxiety
Regarding the Outraged People,
"Hellish Gold Conspiracy" Corporate
Greed" and Such Matters.
Washington, November 15.-Senator
Marion Butler. chairman of the Populist
National campaign committee today
made public the following letter, he ad-
dressed to Mr.. Watson two days after
the receips of the latter's letter of ac-
ceptance:
Dear Sir-Your letter of acceptance
received Saturday night. 1t had been
detained in the post Office for want of
sufficient postage. You, in effect, advise
The Populists not to support the joint
electoral tickets arranged in large num-
ber of states. Is it possible that you fully
appreciate the effect of such adYiceS AT
least upon reflection, you must know if
enough Populists should follow such ad-
vice, 1T would mean the defeat of Bryan
and the election of Mckinley. Besides, il
your advice should be followed by enough
Populists the Peoples party would not
have single elector in the electoral
college.
In the states where we have Joint
electoral tickets, we will get every
elector we do get. Besides III is in those
states that we will get. the bulk If not
all, of the Peoples party Congressman.
In your own states and other states
which have followed your advice against
electoral tickets, we will not get single
eleotor, and fear not many congress-
men, If any.
You certainly cannot mean, however
much you may have favored a middle of
road policy In the beginning, to advise
your friends to do that which at this
time would be the most effective agency
in placing in power Mckinley, and his
hackers in the trusts and monorolies
Can any personal or party injustice,
however great, Justify us in being re-
sponsihle, either directly or indirectly,
for placing in power stock jobbers,
monopollsts, trusts. the British gold ring
and all combined robbers of the peopls
and enemies Of gold government.
I'm the name of the outraged and suf-
ering humanity, whose prayers today
go up from millions of homes for W.
j. Bryan in his heroic and marvellous
struggle against the minions of corpo-
ratio greed, aud hellish gold conspiracy,
let us sink every other consideration.

of Americans and patriots

call for our help and demand our ser
vices. Bryan will be elected and the
government redeemed if every patriot
does his duty. Let us do ours.
Therefore, beseech you to change al
least that part of your letter which gives
advice, which, If followed would surely
help the common enemy. If you do not,
then you, yourself, must assume the re-
sponsibility of giving such document
to the Dublic AT this time -

READY TOR EMERGENCY.
I'm Time Of Peace Prepare For
War" the Word.
NO SERIOUS TROUBLE ANTICIPAT-
ED BY PRESIDENT CLEVELAND.

Me assures of Precautionary Nature
Have, However, Been Taken-Army
officers Pushing Work in Several
Observation-Disclosures of Strengthening
Fortifications Continued.
Washington, November 15.-Many
statements respecting the attitude of the
administration on the Cuban question
were circulated during the past week
and various articles of conflicting
character distributed throughout the
country. The President has said that
he does not anticipate any trouble with
Spain over the Cuban situation and that
there is no intention to change the poll
cy respecting the matter which was laid
down by the administration a year ago.
In addition to this the members of the
| cabinet have stated that the Cuban mat
ter would be left for the new admins
tration to settle.
While following suoh a course may be
the intention of President Cleveland g
administration, the facts warrant the
statement that should any emergency
arise requiring prompt and decisive
action, the several depal tments will be
found keenly alive. to the requirements
OF the occasion and amply provided for
it. Measures of a precautionary oharac-
ter have been taken to meet any critical
conditions which may arise. In other
words the Un tied States is judiciously
continuing the work of strengthening the
Notifications and works of defence
which have hesn in progress for several
years and win thereby be prepared to
change It's policy should it be deemed
advisable to do SO.
Investigation proves that army officers
along the Atlantic coast are pushing the
work In their several departments with
all posi- ble despatch, under orders to
have. certain classes of heavy ordnance
ready for use at as early day as possi-
BILE. Every preoautlon for secrecy is
taken and the officers located at the,
navy yards decline to discuss the un-
usual activity.
: Secretary Lamont has said that he il
trying to make some return in the i'm.

penditures made in that direction. There
is no doubt that the maxim: "In the
time of peace prepare for war;" has been
passed along the line. but no we'll in

friend of the Emperor, in defence OF the
Kaiser's course in sending a telegram
some months ago to President Kruger OF

suppression of the Jameson raid. has
greatly added to the anti-English feeling
prevailing in Germany. and heightened
the suspicion that English family in
fiuenoe is still very much too strong in
the German court.
The popular German antipatby to Eng
land, does not imply a general acoeptancs
of Prince Bismarck's s pro-Russian policy.
The Reiohsrothe shrewdly points ont
the danger of acceding to Russia'r alleged
endeayors TO reconcile Germany and
France and adds that Germany must
first know the price at which France
will abandon her ideas Of revenge. ''If
France now wants to GUST England from
Egypt and make France master gthere, !"
the paper says, cit will make England,
Germany's enemy, while the French
pride will be increased and lead to great
