Sewau on the Ticket.

Birmingham, Ala, July 15.-Capt.
Reuben Kolb, who was the Populist
candidate for governor Of Alabama at
the last two elections, and one of the

and the Democratic platform adopted
from beginning to finish.
AS to the vice presidency, he init

in person will be in St. Louis next week
to receive the nomination, and POpu-

BLAMES M 'KINLEY
Ambassador Bayard Talks of
the Political Situation.
Says McKinIeyism is the Cause
of Our Discomfort.
THE PARENT OF COXEY
There's Just Reason for Lamen-
tatiOn and Complaint.
Unequal and Unjust Taxation
Have Called the People.

New York July ia World dispatch
from London says: Ambassador Bay
ard was asked today for an expression
Of his opinion upon the present politi-
cal situation in the United States and
the duty of the Democracy, of which he
has been so conspicuous a representa-
tive.
"Candidly," said Mr.. Bayard, 'T am
so distressed over the situation, and it
is so chaotic, that anchored as I am,
off here the smoke must rise from the
field before the line of national defense
can be defined by myself or, perhaps,
by any Democrat.
Il expressed my views on the cur
rency question so lately as at the din
ner to the Honorable Artillery company
last week, and at the Fourth of July
dinner here the week before
4 then spoke unreservedly as to the
absolute necessity of the standard of
value and of the confusion and ruin
that would necessarily follow its loss.
"On the other hand a system of plum
der by taxation has created a national
distress, for which reputation and ruin
are supposed to be remedies.
1.-The abandonment and overthrow of
our present measure and standard of
value and a substitution of free coin
age of silver at an arbitrary legislative
ra ito, to be set up by our government
without the cooperation of other mer-
camille nations and wholly in disre-
gard of the intrinsic value of the metal,
can only be followed by disasters, fin
ancial, social and political; by serious
and paralyzing influence upon business
in all it's departments and upon indus
tries in all its avenues.
But the evils which have led to this
unwise demand of a large part of our
population are no less to be discussed.
Measures proposed for relief un-
doubtedly are in many cases radical,
impracticable, ilIuSOry and dangerous,
but the fact remains that they origi-
nate in widespread and deep seated
discomfort and that the lamentations
are not idle, nor without a, cause
From your declarations, then, Mr..
Bayard, from which yUu say you would
not withdraw a word. I INFER you could
not counsel, any Democrat who has
opposed a high tariff to vote for Nc
KinIey?''
- should be wanting in the candor
demanded in the present grave crisis,
replied Mr.. Bayard, should I withhold
my sincere belief that unequal and un-
just taxation, steadily increasing for
35 years, epitOmized now as Mckinley
ism, has been the natural parent of
Coxey, Debs and Altgeld and the de-
plOrabIe outcome of the late Chicago
convention, and that it will continue

bly, the effects will be continued and

Cleveland, July 15-An the members
of the national Republican executive
committee were present this morning
when Chairman Hanna called the
meeting to order for the purpose of or
ganizing and to fo1mauy open t1e

first important question to be taken up
and discussed by the committee was
the location of the national hcadquar-
ters.
Ten days ago it was generally con-
ceded that all indications pointed to
New York, but within the last or
days there has been 4 decided change
in sentiment developed, not only
among the members of the committee,
but throughout the country as well,
against New York.
At least one-half of Mr.. Hanna's mail
for the past week has been made up
from prominent politicians protesting
against the headquarters being located
in New York in the midst Of the strife
of the Empire state factions. 1t Is
stated the executive committee will
remain in session for two or three
days.
