MR.. BRYAN ARRIVES HOME.
The Presidential Nominee Taken to the
Capitol to Receive the Notification of
the Silver Party-Watson's Kansas
Dates-Fusion in Missouri.

WASHINGTON, Sept. "a long ad
dress and appeal for funds was issu ed
from the populist headquarters to-day.
In opening it declares that it was the
first party to demand laws against the
Entertainments of monopolies and
claims credit for the revolt of the
masses of the democratic party, which
resulted in the turning down of the
Cleveland administration and its Brit
ish financial policy and the nomination
OF William j. Bryan on platform de
handing financial independence fo'
the United States 1t continues:
The mission of the party is to restore the
government to the people. The peoples party
has nominated Mr.. Bryan for president ant
Mr.. Watson for vice president, which is no.
only the true cooperative ticket for the silver
voters of all parties to unite upon but which
is also the best silver ticket in the field. Our
friends must not abate one jot or little of theii
interest and efforts to advance the principles
OF the peoples party simply because an
| other party has been forced to adop
nearly all OF our principles Had it not beer
for the peoples party each one of the OLD
paroles would this year have been running o
gold bug for president they have in each
campaign for the last 20 years. The peoples
party has made this political revolution possi-
ble and its continued existence and growth
are necessary to secure reforms for which the
populists and silver democrats alike con-
tending in this campaign.
The appeal Indirectly attacks the re
publican party because it is said to be
| receiving large contributions from
trusts and monopolists and closes:
In behalf Of the people of the United States
who produce wealth and pay taxes, the peo-
Piles party appeals to all who are able and
willing to do SO to contribute the sum of 81 to
our national campaign fund. A prompt re-
| Spouse is urgedly requested to enable us to
prosecute vigorous campaign in defense Of
our homes and liberties that are menaced
by combined plutocracy-the Rothschild-
Morgan Hannah Mckinley combination fight
ing in front and the RothS-
child Morgan Cleveland-Palmer combination
fighting US in the rear. Four years
more gold standard and monopoly rule, with
falling prices and shrinking values, and thou
| sands Of mortgaged homes will result and
thousands OF our laborers will be without en-
ployment. Plutocracy is desperate and is de-
termined to have president and congress OF
its own that will increase and use the army to
suppress bread riots while gold grows dear
and human life grows cheap Our national
committee is doing the best it can against rich
and powerful combinations. For us to stand
any hope Of winning you must uphold u.s. If
we could have but one cent for every SO used
by the enemy we could carry on a vigorous
campaign that would mean their defeat. This
is your fight. 1t is our fight. Hold up our hands
and we will do our duty in the terrible strug-
gle. Don't wait for somebody else to move
What is every bodys business is nobody's bus
mess. Make this your business. Make this
your business at once: see several Of your
neighbors: try to get each one to contribute at
least 81. II some cannot do this, then get each
one to give as much as he can. In short, take
up subscription in your community at once
and forward the amount with the names OF the
contributors to Hon. NJ. c. Rankin, Terre
Haute, Ind. our national treasurer. Also ut
the same time notify your national chairman
at Washington of the amount thus forwarded.
