Memphis. Tenn, August "A spec

Birmingham, Ala, says:
It is evident tonight that the Popu-
list-Republican leaders do not expect
their State ticket to be elected to-mor-

JONES IS SATISFIED.
He Says the General Democratic Stu
alton is Promising.
He Will Leave st. Louis for New
York City, to Attend the Meeting
of the National Committee on the
11th. Inst-Has Nothing to Say
About the Formation Of the Exc
cutive Committee.

Washington, D. c., August 2.-Sena-
tor Jones, of Arkansas, chairman OF
Che National Democratic Committee, re-
turned to this city to-day from his trip
to the west. which included st. Louis
during the Populist Convention week
Mr. Bryan, at Lincoln, and the Senator's
home in Arkansas. The Senator expects
to remain in the city during the coming
week for cosultation with such Demo-
cratic leaders as may be here from time
TO time, and later will go to New York
City to attend the meeting of the Ma
tional Committee, on the 11th, and the
Bryan and Sewall notification on the day
following. The understanding here is
that the two candidates will De
NOTIFIED AT THE SAME TINE
as has been done by the Democratic
party in the past Pending the meeting
of the National Committee in New York
she final disposition Of the question Of
the establishment of permanent head
quarters during the coming campaign
is hardly looked for. Senator Jones had
nothing definite to say on this subject
tonight, and expressed the opinion
that the meeting would not be settled
until the Committee meets.
While Senator Jones is believed to-
have about decided upon the formation
Of the Executive Committee. which will
have active charge of campaign work,
he is not yet prepared to make public
any names. In this connection also
he expressed the opinion that the Com
mittee will
NOT BE FULLY NAMED
until the meeting in New York. He
may, however, announce an individual
member or two during his stay in this
city.
Questions bearing on the attitude of
Mr.. Bryan towards the Populist nom
ination and affecting the retention of
Mr. Sewall on the national ticket are
those on which the Chairman declined
TO express an opinion. The Senator's
attention was called to the statement in
the Atlanta Journal. made by Hon W.
i. Peek, who led the Georgia delegation
at The Populist Convention. that there
was an unders, anding between the Pop
ulist and Democratic leaders that if
the PcDulists would nominate Bryan
for President and a southern Populist
for Vice President, that Mr. Sewall
would retire from the race. Regarding
this Mr.. Jones declared that, so far as
he knew, no arrangement of this kind
WAS ENTERED INTO.
The Chairman is well satisfied with
the general situation, and says the Dem
ocratic ticket is as good as can be- He
rilicues the idea of a reaction in the sill
YER sentiment and looks for its contin-
ued progress.
This sentiment" he said began with
the repeal Of the Sherman act and has
progressed ever since"

swedes For sound Money.


story printed in ar afternoon paper
yesterday 70 the effect that Swedish
American voters In Illinois were rapidly
deserving sound money 10 ezaphatlea4ly
denied by prominent Swsdes In connec-
ton with the story was an interview with
Gas Inspector Westman. who Is president
OF tae Swsdlsh-American Republican
League. Mr.. Westman spoke OF Swedish
silver clubs being org anlZed and defectlons
IN the ranks Of the league
Alexander Johnson, editor OF Syensks
kurlren. Chicago weekly swedish paper,
said Mr.. Westman might canvas among
MS countrymsn and not ind two men
among a hundred voters who believed IN
free silver.
Relative 20 silver clubs being organized
Mr. Johnson said.
Somebody called meeting OF Swedish
Americans OF the Twenty-third ward for
the purpose OF organizing a silver club.
Ten voters attended, and tx was found
that the man who called the meeting was
the only silver man present The ten vot-
ers who attended organized a gold stand
ard club right then and there. and the
man who called the meeting went home
disguised.
ITO say that Swedish-American voters
are for free silver Is nonsensical There
Is not Swedish-Amsrican newspaper IN
Illinois advocating the free coinage OF
SILVER. furthermore, every swedish SOE-
er knows that since 1873. when Sweden
adopted the gold standard mis- fatherland
has prospered and developed more than
IL did IN fifty years before the adoption
OF the gold standard. I am afraid Mr..
Westmsn IS almost alone IN his opinion
that the Swedes are all for free silver.
Ninety-eight per cent. Of the Swedish
American voters will line up for Mckin-
ley and sound money a. The polls in No
vember."
F. A. Liudstrand. president OF the Swed-
ish National Association and editor of the
Swedish-American, was equally positive
that November would find no defections,
and that IL any class OF voters was for
sound money II was the Swedish-Ameri-
can.
There is one thing tnat the Swedish
American hates" said Mr. Lindstrand.
and that Is free trade. Even should you
find a Sweds here for free silver you will
find him violent enemy Of the free trade
doctrine that must 20 with free silver.
Therefore. Mckinley and sound money
VIII receive the almost solid Swedish
American vote"
Andrew CHASER. editor OF Svenska TrI-
bunen, said II there was a Swe8e ia Chi
caEo with a free silver tendency 4 vas
only for a moment, and q l;tle sensible
talk would put him back into the ranks
OF bis party. Mr.. CHASER was also OF the
opinion that Mr.. Westman voiced only
his own opinion.
