Chairman Allen Forwards the Official
Letter to MIR. Bryan.
MADISON, Neb., Sept. 15.-The Hon.
NJ. V. Allen, chairman Of the Populist
national committee, has mailed to Will
lam j. Bryan, a letter officially notify
ing him of his nomination by that
body. 1t says in part:
Alta convention of the Peoples party
held at St. Louis from July o. to 25 of the
mated for president of the United States,
to be voted for at the approaching general
election. Itwas known ut tho time that
you had been nominated by tho Demo-
cratic party at its convention held at Chi
cago few days before that time, and that
you would in all possibilities accept the
samc in formal manner. Your nomina-
ton by tho Peoples party was not made,
therefore, with any thought that you were
Populist, or that you
Accepted All the Doctrines
declared by the St. Louis platform. 1t
was due largely to the fact that the money
question is the overshadowing political
issue of the age and because you have at
oil times been an unswcrving, able and
fearless advocate of tho free and unlimited
coinage of silver and gold on terms of
equality ut the mints of the United States
at tho ratio of 16 to /. 1t was thought
also that the observance of patriotic
duty required a union of all reform forces
and tho convention took tho liberty, with
out soliciting or consulting you, of plac-
Ing your name before the people as its
standard bearer. Tho convention was, in
doing SO, guided by deep solicitudc for
the common welfare and by q desire to
bring about the best attunnblc results
Has the Confidence and Esteem of All.
In sending you this letter of notification
Of the great honor that has been so justly
conferred on you by our party it is needless
for us to assure you that you have tho
confidence and esteem of all Your splen-
did abilities, known integrity, competency
and eminent fitness for the position justly
cntitlc you to IL high rank among the great
statesmen Of the nation. We feel that in
tho event Of your election, which now
seems certain, you will carry into the cx-
ecutivc the principles of monetary reform
to the end that people shall enjoy better
better industrial conditions Tho People 5
party will exact Of you no promises far
ther than those made III your public ut
terances and cxampli1icd in Il life devoted
to the welfare of the race.
The letter of notification to Thomas
E. Watson has also been made public.

MONTANA REPUBLICANS.
They Keep Together on State Ticket, Blu
Split on tho National.

They Keep Together on State Ticket, But
Split on tho National.
HELENA, Mon, Sept. 11.-Tho after
noon session Of tho Republican state
convention was most stormy ono, and
at one time it looked rs though the gold
men would walk out Of the hall. Dur.
ing speech by Colonel Sanders, the
leader of the gold men, ho started to
leave the hall, but was persuaded to re.
main. During his speech, which was
very caustic and sarcastic and was fire.
qucntly interrupted with cheers and
Kisses, the widest confusion prevailed.
Tho trouble arose over the report of the
committee OIL permanent organization.
There was q majority report, signed by
16 members Of the committee, and two
minority reports, one signed by 3 and
the other by members. The majority
report was adopted after several hours
Of heated debate. 1t was OH the adop-
ton of this report that the
Two Factions Came Near Splitting.
After tho adoption of the majorit, re-
port the next order of business was the
nomination of governor j. b. Rick
ards, the present incumbent, Lieutcn-
ant Governor A. c. Botkin and Colonel
Kessler were put forward. 1t required
five ballots to elect Richards led in
tho third ballot. Botkin led OH tho
first, second and fourth and was nomi-
mated on the last by Il vote of 202 to ITO
for Richards and for kcsslcr. The
ticket was completed as follows ::
Lieutenant governor, p. r.. Dolman {;
secretary Of state, Louis Rotwitt ; treas
urer, w. G. Webster; auditor, y. l..
Love; attorney general, S. G. Murray.
The silver men then withdrew to
allow the gold men to adopt Il platform
and nominate congressman and Nc
Kinley electors.

the Second district, i COO for Mr..
Milliken in the Thi, BA ct and prac.
fcal1y the same for ]1ltellc in the
Fourth district
In the state legislature the Democrats
will have less than half q dozen Of the
representatives in the house and not
one in the senate.
AS anticipated, the Republicans polled
tremendous vote and secured many
Democratic ballots. On the other hand
many disaffected Democrats remained
at home and only few voted for tho
nominee Of the gold standard wing.
The Populists and Prolribitionists votes
have been received only from q few
towns, but it is evident that neither
party polled as large a vote as two
years ago.
An Interesting Campaign.
The present campaign was the most
interesting Maine has seen in 20 years,
If evor in her history. It has presented
the unique feature OF son arrayed
against father in the case Of the Hon.
r1""o1a co.uall nf Path. who took the.
stump to argue against the principles Of
Hon. Arthur Sewall, the Democratic
nominee for wee president. But i'll all
the strife and contention the contest
was remarkably free from personalities.
The most effective work was done from
the stump and never did more for.
midable array Of campaign orators cx-
pound Republican doctrines in New
England state. But the struggle was
not entirely one-sidcd. With internal
dissensions and lack of funds to con.
tend with the Democrats
Made Very Strong Fight,
especially in the cities. Candidate
Frank did good work on the stump,
and while tho speakers, generally from
outside the state, were not orators of
great fame, their work was productive
of some results. In the last two weeks
the gold Democrats took hand in the
struggle and several of their leaders ad-
dressed large audiences i'll the cities but
the returns indicate that tho principal
effect of their participation in the cam
paign was to strengthen the Republi-
can ranks. Candidate Bateman was
the main strength of the Populists in
their canvass, his efforts being mainly
devoted to keeping the members of his
party who favored free silver out of tho
Democratic ranks. III none of the con-
gressional districts was there close
contest. All of the Democratic candi.
dates for congress evidently believed
that it was impossible to defeat the Re-
publican nominees, and their canvass
was not very active.

Mr.. Bryan VIII Not Speak From tho
Steps of the Capitol.
EVANSVILLE, Ind, Sept. l5.-William
J. Bryan has denied the story that he
was to speak from the steps Of the ma
tional Capitol at Washington. He said
that he heard of such a rumor, and that
he had telegraphed the committee in
charge of the meeting that to do so
would not be in accord with his wishes.
1T would be bad precedent" said
Mr.. Bryan, sand one which I would
not wish to establish. So far as know
no candidate for the presidency has
ever spoken at the Capitol, do not
care to be the first"

The South bound passenger
train on its way to Gauley yester-
day ran over and killed Rev, Moses
Hall, of st. Adams, at Sattes.
The unfortunate man was walking
down the track looking straight at
the on-coming train. The en-
gineer supposed he would step
aside before the train reached him,
and did not reverse his engine un-
til it was too late and the COW
catcher struck him and threw him
from the track breaking his neck.
His body was not mutilated. The
trainmen are in no way to blame
for this horrible accident.
