he has a high reputation I'm the financial

A DENIAL FROM JONES.
Never Said Candidate Bryan Would
Not Accent

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-Workmen are
busy cleaning up Wormley's Hotel, which
adds to the impression that the old hosiery
will become the national Democratic head
quarters. Chairman Jones. of the Demo-
cratic national committee to-day corrected
certain misapprehensions which have arisen
from published interviews with him within
the last day or two.
II did not say that Mr.. Bryan would not
accept the Populist nomination. said Mr.
Jones. ''for have no authority to say that
did not say that general rule the
Southern Populists were not a creditable
class. On the contrary / said that most of
them were patriotic men who were working
for a cause: that they were Populists be-
cause they had believed they could promote
their cause best through a new party. and
that now they would support Bryan be-
cause 1t was shown that their patriotic OBJ
jects could be obtained only through his
election. This is what said of the South
ern Populists as rule.
LAS an exception spoke of the class who
were not creditable. 1 said there were
some who were Populists merely for their
personal advancement; some who had be-
come Populists through selfish. and not
patriotic motives. / spoke of these as the
exceptional class who would not support
Mr.. Bryan. 1 said that as a rule the Popu-
lists in the South would follow the patriotic
course and support Bryan, that there were
some who for selfish motives would not do
so, but would prefer to have Mckinley
elected"
Chairman Faulkner received a request
which he regarded as significant. 1t came
from leading retail dealer at Huntington.
w. Va, asking where he could buy FIVE
hundred Bryan cabinet photographs. which,
he said, were the strongest kind of cam
paign document. The photographs were to
be distributed with purchases.
Representative Pearson. of the AsheviIle.
N. G. district, was at Republican head
quarters during the day, and said intense
feeling had been aroused among Southern
Populsts by Chairman Jones's interview
concerning them.

Mr.. Bynum's Mail Growing-sentiment
fn This state.

The sound-money Democratic executive
committee finds that there is going TO be
much larger attendance at<the meeting or
the national committee next Friday than
was anticipated. Rooms are being engaged
at the hotels for parties ranging from i've
TO fifty from various States of the Union,
and IL looks as If the committee meeting
would develop into a general conference OF
sound-money Democrats

ceiying" said Mr.. Bynum. of the executive
committee. yesterday instead of the sim
gle representatives of thirty odd States that
will be represented we shafl have here a
gathering of two or three hundred repre-
sentative Democrats whose opinions will
command attention. I think there is no
doubt that convention will be called in
September. We find i'm other States as in
Indiana that the politicians have largely
slumped, but among the business men and
the people there is a determination to hold
the party true TO its traditions and defeat
the undemocratic ticket named at Chicago
upon a platform that is anything but DEM

SAYS the result of the election in Alabama

the adjournment Of the st. Louis conven-
ton the executive committee was in session
for several days, and it was decided TO
take no further step until after the Ala

doubt. but t is out of the question that the
committee will put up a candidate. Chair
man Jones's idea is that the Populists
will leave the Bryan and Watson ticket
and vote the straight Democratic ticket.
Mr. Rankin thinks the result in Alabama
will cause many of the Southern Populists
10 do So but the leaders in the party will
insist on an independent electoral ticket.
In the West. perhaps more than two
thirds will vote for Bryan and Sewall. In
Indiana Illinois and other middle Western
States perhaps one-half will do'so If there
are two electoral tickets 1t Is not improb
able that the Democratic managers will yet
consent TO a division of electors In these

need all the votes he can get in those
States.
