GOOD DOLLAR CONVERT.

GOOD DOLLAR CONVERT.
Sullivan, Ili.-Isaac Hudson, county
Judge of Moultrie county and long one ot
the pillars of Repnblicanism, has de-
clared for Bryan. In letter to the Her
aid, he says:
"The vital question of the present cam
paign is the money question and it is the
most serious question that has arisen
since the war. The friends of silver
must realize that the contending forces
are being arrayed for the final struggle
If gold wins in this contest the men who
produce the wealth of this country, tht
toilers, will find themselves in fetters
none the less oppressive because forged
from gold.
"The common people of this country
can not be daunted by being called repu
dlators or advocates of 50-cent dollars
Every man wants good dollar, an hon
est dollar. We differ about what that
dollar should be.
"The common people from the farms
and workshops made this country, and
they saved this country in the '60s and
made the payment of our national obll-
cations possible. To call them repudia'
tors now is unwarranted and an insult to
their patriotism.
"Let us settle the money question now
and settle II right, once for all. In the
future we can again take up such other
questions as divide the people.
"Regardless of party ties shall vote
my sentiment on this issue and in so
doing shall vote for the Hon. William
Jennings Biyap for president OF the
United States"
MANY CONFERENCES.
St. Louis.-There is to be conference
in st. Louis this week of officers of the
Dem ocratic and Populist national com
mittees. The purpose will be to agree on
a joint plan of campaign.
The national silver party has accepted
the invitation from Baltimore merchants
to notify Bryan and Sewall in the city OF
Baltimore. The notification will be made
about fourteen days after the Democratic
notification in New York, which is ex-
pected to take place about August 10. II
has been definitely decided that the ma
tional silver party will have a congress
sional candidate in every district where
the Democratic nominee favors the gold
standard.
SENATOR JONES' MOVEMENTS.
Lincoln, Neb.-Ohairman j. K. Jones
of the Democratic national committee
left via Jefferson City for his Arkansas
home after five hours conference with
Mr.. Bryan.
When asked what action they had de.
cided to take upon the nomination OF
Watson by the Populists, the senator
said they would allow the good sense ol
the people to straighten out the matter
In other words, that no definite actor
would be taken at present. He thought
the complication would solve itself II
given time.
PopULIsT VIEW.
St, Louis,-"What' the use of talking
about Mr. Bryan not accepting the nomi'
nation" said Treasurer Rankin, OF the
Populists, in response to qnestlon
asked by reporter last night. "He was
made the nominee of the party and ne
will get our votes. We would rather take
Mr.. Bryan without any promises than 70
accept a man like Cleveland with all the
promises he could tack onto the nomlna'
tion. He has shown that he accepts ou'
platform in all his public acts. we have
ominated him and we are not gong tt
do anything more about it.
"Will Tom Watson be taken from the
ticket BY the national committee!
think not. There is no reason why nj
should be. He is the nominee OF tht
party. We are not Republicans or Dem
ocrats; We are Populists, and have prin
ciples of our own. We are not going.tt
undo the work of the convention. Th'
motion adopted by the convention CIV
ing the national committee plenary pow
| er was passed in order to avoid trouble
in the event of Mr.. Bryan finally ant
positively refusing to make the race OF
our ti.ket, and not with view of max
ing any change in the ticket. 1t simpll,
gives to the committee power to act II
case of an emergency"
