Chairman Jones of the National

reporter OF the New York World, and
in answer to the question as to
whether Mr.. Bryan would accept the
Populist nomination said:
He appreciates very highly the
fact that the Populists honored him
with so many oftheir votes, bat when
he sent that telegram to the St. Louis
Convention requesting the withdraw

not accept the nomination. He is OF
the same mind now.
al seethst some Of the Populists are
declaring that unless Mr. Bryan &C
cepts their nomination by Aug S the
Central Committee will withdraw his
name and nominate some one else in
his place. Well, letthem dose Mr.
Bryan having been the nominee Of
the Democrats and OF the Silver party.

gest the propriety Of his accepting
those nominations first.
We all know that we are going to
have either Bryan and Sewall or Me-
Kiuley and Hobart The best men

party will vote for Bryan and Sewall.

the Southern delegates were not a
creditable class. They practically
admitted while In st. I.ohis that they
were out for nothing but spoil. They
said that there was nothing in it
for them to indorse the Democratic
nominees, and this same spirit will
probably dominate their actions in
the future. They will do all that
they can to harrass the Democracy
