SENATOR Villas TO THE WORLD. |
MADISON, Wis, Jvly ri.
BIZ Telegraph 10 The Editor 81 The
World,
The conference at Chicago
found that in all the states repre-
sented q strong sentiment exists
in favor Of pr viding standing |
groud for democrats who cannot
accept populism or enter the
gate to anarchy. Steps were
therefore taken to afford oppor-
tunity for appropriate action if a
similar sentiment shall be found
to be general, as all information
indicates.
The result will depend on re-
spenses returned to the provis-
ional executive committee and
thus is left to democrats them
selves to determine.
Possible candidates were not
considered, the ruling question
being whether democrats will
stand together. w. r. Villas.

The prospect for silver is all
that could be asked BY its friends.
Mr.. Bryan's nomination by the
populist seems that our candidate
goes into the fight with 2o2 cleo
toraI votes certain, and the states
Of Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Michi-
gan, Minnesota and Wisconsin
doubtful.
The free silver republicans Of
the west are stanpeding to Bryan
BY the thousand, and unless
something very extraordinary
should happen between now and
Nouefnber his election Is assured.
This will be one Of the most
enthusiastic campaigns ever
waged ID this country. The
Young men Of the entire country
will rally TO Mr.. Bryan, and all
the ''barl' and Doodle which Mr..
