country above party and rose 10 higher plane
d patriotism than has ever been shown by any
other party-it recognized in this young patriot
OF the west man who stands in the broadest
and truest sense for American institutions and
American prineiples and man as worthy and
as true as anyone within our own RANKS. and.
besides one who had already several millions
OF votes pledged to his support, and who, there
toe, we could be sure OF e.ecting In the pres-
ent contest. Thus was presented TO Us an op.
portunity to elect this year a man who would
be the first friead Of the people in the White

II the democratic party hal been true to the
people and its own platform In It's selection OF

the worthiest and most beloved sons OF tho
peoples party, In this official capacity, for IN
that event the peoples party would have

even larger majority than II nominated Mr.
Bryan. hut such was not the case. It seems
that the party was not able at one effort to
purge itself OF It's modern heresies east on its
plutocratic leaders, and at the same time il
nominated Mr.. Bryan give him running mate
who hid earned in the areaa of action by
conteuding against the foes OF the republic,
the affection, confidence and trust OF the
masses OF our people, us had Mr.. Bryan him
self - had II nominated "a man
for the vice-presdency who was known
to all America as chieitain and
leader IN defense OF toilcrs and producers of
the land, one VINO by the use OF voice, pen
and means, had endcared himself to the
American people, one with past not obscured
In IA silence suggestive of either ignorance or
Indifference to the struggle Of the people with
the money power, the occasion of this COM
munication TO your worthy self would not have
occurred. The peoples party, true TO It's prln-
cipes and true to its teachings, nominated for
the high office OF yiee-presidcnt a man worthy
to have headed the ticket, a man who
represents what Mr.. Bryan represents,
aud therefore presents TO the people to-day, In
the persons oi Bryan and Watson, the best
silver ticket In the teld-a ticket more rcpre-
sentative Of Aulerean Interests than any other
ttCkct tuhl hlanus LOT JUST lnb Opposite "
that for which he republican ticket stands.
If the people gln this fight for financial re-
form it must bo accomplished by the
cooperation Of the silver forces ,ot
all political parties 10 secure such CO.
operation OF the different parties
IL is necessary to have cooperative ticket
Therefore Bryan and Watson is not only the
best silver ticket but it is also the true CO.
operative ticket

second national convention OF the pco-
pies party, to formally notify you OF
