sEwALL's LITTER To BRYAN
How the Tail of the Ticket Is Loyal to the
Head of the Ticket.

Chicago, Sept 3.-Chairman Jones of
the Democratic national committee has
made public a letter to William J. Bry-
an from Arthur Sewall apparently
dated July %, at which time the Popu-
list convention was in session. The
letter. which is exciting a great deal OF
comment, read as follows:
My Dear Mr.. Bryan:-In view of the
action Of the st. Louis convention today
] cannot refrain from giving You my
thoughts on the situation.
my advices are that you have been
nominated as candidate for PRESIDENT
and Mr.. Watson for vice-president /
also learn through the press dispatches
that you are somewhat undecided as
TO whether you ought to accept or de-
cline. Now, / desire to say to you with
the utmost frankness and good feeling.
that you must not allow any personal
consideration for me TO influence you in
your action.
81 desire that you VIII do Just what
you believe to be best for the success of
the head of our ticket. The principles
We are fighting for are so paramount.
20 any personal considerations that the
latter should not l1ave any weight or
influence whatever with your action
Il cannot for a moment allow myself
10 be factor in any action ony our part
Mat would in the slightest degree haz-
ard an electoral vote for you. With
kind regards to Mrs. Bryan, believe me.
your sincere friend,
ARTHUR SEWAIL.
Bath, Me, July IS
The Democratic managers at head
quarters insited that the letter had no
further significance than that BRYAN
would consent to receive a formal mott
fication from the Populist party in the
near future and the publication was TO
forestall false rumors as to the attitude
of Mr.. Sev7all toward such A ceremony.
Chairman Jones dictated the follow
ing explanation as TO how the letter
comes to be published at this time:
Several days ago. Chairman Jones
wrote a letter 10 Mr.. Sewall. stating TO
him that many Democrats throughout
the west, were Directing to fusion with
the Populists for the reason that they
did not want 10 be disloyal to Mr.. Sew
all. In reply TO Chairman Jones. Mr..
Sewall forwarded a COPY Of the letter
written to Mr. Bryan, dated July %. 1886
