dressed large audiences during the
week. Gov. Il. N. Morrill, fairly cap
tlvated his audience, was warmly well
coined, and given marked and undl-

alive a frsternal spirit, and perpetu-
ate the memories Of army experience,
and the benefits arising from the
struggle for freedom and national
sovereignty. Neither money or care
was spared TO render the reunion all
that 1t should be and the executive

ION the same day Senator Allison
said; But when the secret history of
this bill comes to DO told it will dis
close the fact that the house of repre-
sentatives intended to coin both gold
and silver, and intended to place both
metals upon the French relation in-
stead Of our own, which was the true
scientific position Of this subject in
1872
ION the 10th Of January, 1878, Sem

by either house Of congress. I say
that with full knowledge Of the facts.
No newspaper reporter, and they are
the most vgilent men ever saw IN
obtaining information, discovered that
ithsd been done.'
Ia "McPherson's Handbook Of Pol
itlCs," for 1874 (page 194) appears a
letter from President Grant to Mr..
Cowdery, dated, eight months after
the passage of the decentralization
act, in which he discussed silver as
still being standard Of value, clearly
proving that he was unaware that he
had approved a bill in which silver
had been demonetized. This letter
has been in print on the authority Of
Mr.. McPherson for twenty-five years,
and il is rather late to call 1t iE ques-
ton, as has been attempted this year
for the first time
From the record, which have
faithfully Reproduced, it is impossible
to reach any other conclusion than
that the confidence OF the house was
abused by Mr. Hooper; that the conf
dence Of the senate was abused by
Mr.. Sherman, and that by their joint
efforts the most important piece Of
legislation Of the century was carried
through congress by stealth, and the
double standard, which had existed
by the will Of the people for more
than eighty years, was taken away
from them without their consent or
knowledge, in the interest Of aliens,
by the manipulations herein describ.
ed. The men who did this work, did
il furtively and fraudulently, because
they knew that il submitted either
to the people or to congress, it's
overwhelming defeat would have been
insured.
The story is a long one, but I have
not found myself able to confne it
within any less space. In what 1
have said Of the crime Of 1878, and Of
those who committed IT, have done
exact justice, for I have measured
their conduct by the merciless test Of
their own public record, and have
pointed to the page where it can be
found. l am, very truly yours,

BUTLER TO TOM WATSON.
The Senator Gives Out the Reply He
Made TO WatsOn's Letter
of Acceptance

Washington Nov. 15.-In view of the fact
that the letter of Tom Watson accepting
the vice presidential nomination of the
Populist party has been published, Senator
Marion Butler to-day made public his re-
ply. written when Mr. Watson's letter was
received. in which he took exception to its
tone. The reply is as follows:
Washington. Oct IS.
Hon. Thomas Watson, Thompson, Ga.
Dear Sir:-Your letter of acceptance
was received Saturday night. 1t had been
detained in the postoffice for want of
sufficient postage.
You, in effect, advise Populists not to
support the joint electoral tickets that
have been arranged in a large number of
states. Is it possible you fully appreciate
the effect of such advice? At least, upon
reflection, it would mean the defeat of
Bryan and the election of Mckinley Be
sides, if your advice should be followed by
enough POpulists the Peoples party would
not have single elector in the electoral
college.
In the states where we have Joint cleo
toral tickets We Will get every eIector that
We do get; and, besides, it is in those
states where he will get the bulk, if not
all, OF the Peoples party congressman. In
your own state, and other states which
have followed your advice against elector-
al tickets, We will not get a single elector
and fear not many congressman, if any
You certainly cannot mean, however
much you may have favored a midde-of-
the-road policy in the beginning to ad-
wise your friends to do that which at this
time would be the most effective agency
In placing in power Mckinley and his back
ers-the trusts and monopoiies.
can any personal or party Injustice
however great, justify US in being respon-
sible, either directly or indirectly for plac-
ing in power the stock jobbers, monopo-
lists, trusts. the British gold ring and all
of the combined robbers of the people and
enemies of good government?
In the name of outraged and suffering
humanity. whose prayers to-day go I'D
from millions of homes for William j Bry-
an in his heroic and marvellous fight
against the minions of corporate greed and
the hellish gold conspiracy, let US sink
every other consideration and hold up his
hands and do the full duty Of Americans
and patriots. Let US remember that it is
a suffering people and betrayed republic
and not Democratic politicians that to-
day cal! for our help and demand our
services. Bryan will be elected and the
government redeemed If every patriot does
his duty. Let us do ours.
Therefore. I beseech you to change at
least that part of your letter which gives
advice which il followed, would surely
help the common enemy. If you do not
then you, yourself. must assume the re-
sponsiblity of giving such a document to
the public at this time. Yours truly,

It transpires that Charles Haus. the To-
peka, Kas., carpenter, who deserted his
wife and child and ran away with Alice
Mackey. and after going to Chicago, Mil
waukee and other places came West, had
been living in Kansas City. at I'll East
Sixth street, until he saw the story in the
Journal yesterday morning. Then he left.
He was employed by the board of educa-
ton, but inquiry at the house last night
was of no avail in ascertaining where Haus
had gone. The police received a letter
from the Mackey woman from Wichita
yesterday giving Haus' address and saying
he married, then deserted her and a small
child at Wichita. He was married to her
about a year ago. She claims she is Haus'
ninth wife and asks that something be
done to punish him. Mrs. Catherine Haus,
who came to Kansas City Saturday, and
who is at 9li Hickory street with small
child, is Haus' first wife. She followed him
over many miles of territory and is as
anxious to locate him as wife No. g. The
