Are We to BE Tricked.


Senator VIM. Y. Allen of Nebras-
ka is Chairman of the Populist Com
mittee which was appointed by the
st. Louis Convention to notify Mr.
Bryan Of his nomination by the Peo.
pies Party.
1t is stated in the Northern pa
pers that Senator Allen will not call
this Committee together and that
Mr.. Bryan will not be officially mott
fed of his nomination.
Would this conduct on the part of
the Committee be honorable? Would
it not be a grievous insult to the
Peoples Party?
Would the rank and file of our
party tolerate such action on the
part of their leaders2
We believe that if serious disaster
to the cause of silver is to be averted
the people must be dealt with fairly
and honestly. A resort to any
trickery at this time would be in the
highest degree hurtful to the success
of Mr., Bryan.
The Western Populsts--I mean
the peOple-beliove in keeping faith
with the South. The Western lead
ers in the St. Louis Convention most
positively pledged their allegiance to
the ticket nominated.
ANY attempt 10 get the Populists
OF the West to vote for Bryan and
sewall will in our judgment fail.
The Western delegations at St. Louis
pledged their faith to the Bryan
Watson and we believe they will be
true.

This obscure editor will find it i'm
possible to answer all the letters and
kilograms of congratulation, pouring
in upon him from his good friends
all over the Unior. He takes this
method, therefore, of returning his
acknowledgements and his thanks.
God knows he did not seek this
nomination, nor desire it; his motive
in Withdrawing his statement that he
would not accept, and thus leaving
the Convention at liberty to use his
name, was to save the party from
the crisis which the Democratic fu-
sion programme had brought upon it.

CURED il.
The vice. Presidential nominee
having been chosen, Mr.. Bryan was
then named for President by an
overwhelming majority-and this
itself shows what extreme peril our
party was in.
Had Bryan's nomination come on
first his victory would probably have
carried Sewall through also. 1t was
exceedingly shrewd in the Populist
managers to force the vice. Presi-
dental vote first. To that act the
Peoples Party owes its life today.
The platform adopted is a model
a MASTERPIECES. It is moderate,
clear, and strong. There is not an
extravagant line in it, nor one capa.
bic of demonstration.
The delegation from this state ao-
Quilted itself most handsomely. 1t
took leading part in the proceed
ings from start to finiah, and for
their loyalty to instructions, and
fidelity to principle, they deserve and
will receive the warmest praise from
the people whom they so ably and
faithfully represented.
In going outside their own party
to name Presidential candidate, the
Populists have given the highest
proof of sincere and patriotic desire
to unite the Silver forces Their
conduct has been generous to extent
without precedent.
If now the Democratic managers
should refuse to make any oonces-
sion at all it would show that our
efforts toward unity have all been
thrown away. II they continue to
demand that the Populists shall go
out of existence as party, they will
prove to all the world their object in
adopting our platform was not so
much TO get free silver as it was to
bury The Peoples Party.

As to Senator Marion Butler.

A correspondent of the Atlanta
Journal attempts to make it appear
that there has been a collision be-
tween Senator Butler, chairman of
the Pooulist national executive COM
mittee, and myself.
This is all wrong. That cores
pondenTT;,' RI company witk several
other gentlemen, called on me at my
residence, and we had what I sup.
posed to be private conversation,
Something was said about the plan
of campaign, and l was asked if |

reply | stated that 1 had a telegram
from him suggesting that | go at
once to Alabama, and stating that

/ remarked that it seemed to me
we had better wait awhile and see
what the situation was going to be.
Mr.. Bryan would have to respond to
our nomination in few days, or the
exc utive committee would meet on
Aug. 9TH and take some action con-
corning his silence. Besides this
reason there are others-one OF them
being that Our Georgia State Con.
vention c>nvenes August 9th, and it
might be we'll to wait and see wheth-
err the party will endorse what was
done at S.. Louis. 1t is by no means
certain that the party will do so.
There are mutteriugs of discomfort
all along the line, and if Mr.. Sewall
declines to retire for harmony's sake,
the rank and file OF our party may
break away from the leaders, and re-
fuse to vote for Mr.. Bryan at all.
Therefore, my own opinion is, that
we had better go slow, until the at
mosphere clears itself little.
No unkind word escaped me in
reference to Senator Butler.
Another reason for not going to
Alabama is that the election takes
place next Monday and it is there.

Some Questions About Money.
A correspondent asks US some
questions which we print here, with
reply to each;
1. Was silver legal tender for
any amount Of debts, public or pri-
va frtl :, ,Aae hszs,s. q the Gov
eminent until 1873?
Yes.
2. Is silver only legal tender to
the amount of S. now?
No. The silver dollars are full legal
tender for any amount. q The sub.
sidiary coins, being purposely made
light weight in order to keep change
in the country, have been legal ten
der only to the amount of IS since
1858.
8 Is a silver certificate only legal
tender to the amount OF IS?
A silver certificate is not legal ten
der at all. 1t is merely a warehouse
receipt. It certifes that SO many
silver dollars have been deposited
in the Treasury, payable to bearer
on demand. The certificate is not
money and not legal tender. But
its holder can exchange il for full
legal-tender silver dollars whenever
he pleases.
4. To what amount is a. national
bank note legal tender9
1t is not legal tender at all. It is
merely banks promise, guaranteed
by the Government, to pay so many
dollars in greenbaoks. 1t passes cur
rent in the payment of debts, pre-
cisely as the silver certificates do, be-
cause it is exohangesble on demand
for legal-tender money.
5. To what extent is a greeback
legal tenderp
1t is a legal tender for any amount.

Dear Slr-There are a good many
Democrats aad Republicans in this
section who says that it would not do
to have frae coinage of silver. They
say there would be SO much silver il
would not be werth ten cents on the
dollar. Will you explain free coin
age in your paper, the amount the
mints can com annually and the
amount per capita free coinage would
give US, if not too much trouble.

Free-coinage was fully explained
in this paper last week.
The monthly capacity of the mlnts
is about four million dollars per
month, or about fifty millions per
year.
Therefore free-coinage would give
US about eighty cents per capita
annually.

hands of the West.
With such large number of ex-
perienced workers, organized and
well-equipped, striving for the On
dorsement OF both Bryan and Sewall,
the fate of the party was in the
highest degree critical. The "mid-
de of-the-road" men were the more
numerous, but less united. They
could not agree upon leaders. In
the Vice Presidential nomination,
they were divided between several
different candidates, while the SewalI
men were a compact body which
threatened to become majority by
the mere failure of the opposition to
concentrate.
1t was this chaotic condition of
things which witnessed with keen
anxiety, and which caused members
of the Georgi1 delegation to tele-
graph mo to allow my name used to
restore harmony and save the parry.
Upon that express condition,
consented, and the object was OBJ
tanned. Sewall was defeated, the
Populist factions harmonized and the
Democratic programme checzmated,
