NORTON'S EXHORTAAION.
He Earnestly Appeals to Populists to
Rally to BrYen.

Washington. Oct. 22.-Mr. Norton. IN
concluding his letter to Chairman But
Ter. q part of which was given to the
press yesterday, alludeS to the fears
entertained by some members of the
Populist party that its separate exist
ence and the advancement of some of
its principles other than that Of silver
m ight be endangered by fusion, saying
Let us not be unnecessarily alarmed
about the future of the reform move
nent 1t has passed the danger point
1T is capable of taking care of itself
under any and all circumstances. Trait
Ors cannot betray it; servers cannot sell
it out: defeat cannot demoraliZe il; its
opponents, however, powerful and
crafty, cannot crush 1t; even the gates
of hell cannot prevail against it,
For twenty years. through all the
dangerous pitfalls, perils and quick
sands incident to the development of
new party. it has grown to be the
greatest factor in the arena OF Amerl-
can politics today, and if elected, / be-
lieve that Mr.. Bryan will not be slow
to recognize this fact and that he will
soon learn to rely upon the counsels
and support Of the new party winch
has revolutionized the politics of the
country, forced to the front new and
vital issues and made it possible for
the people instead of office seeking pol
iticians, to pace a champion OF pro-
gressive ideas at the head of the gov
eminent.
Il believe that he will appreciate the
fact that we have placed in the hollow
of his hand not only the unSelnSn hopes
and patriotic aspirations of the Pop
ulist party. but the most sacred cause
that was ever entrusted to living man,
and that he will not betray the trust
I'm conclusion. permit me to say that
If nv twenty years of work entities me
to the confidence of my co-workers, let
me ask them to lay aside every other
consideration and help elect Mr.. Bryan,
not for his sake. but for the sake of
the principles which we all hold dear
and sacred. If success is achieved the
Populist party can never be denied the
glory of the victory. If defeat awaits
US and our standard bearer falls, let
there be no Populist arrow in his breast
or back. Let the responsibility rest
UPON other shoulders than our own"

one addressed by Mr.. Bryan himself,
on Labor day, was the great gathering
last night in Central Music hall 1t was
the first demonstration in this city I'M
der the auspices of the National Silver
Party The orator Of the occasion was
J. n Stevens of Denver, who is vice

whose chief role heretofore in the cam
paign has been hic active participa-
ton in the work at national Demo-
cratic headquarters here.
Every seat in the hall was occupied
and the STAGE. aisles and ante rooms
We're crowded with persons standing
A feature of the demonstration was the
plentifulness of the stars and stripes,
practically every person in the house
having one or more flags, which were
waved at each outburst of applause
Besides the main speech by Mr.. Stew
ems, eloquent addresses We're made by
Mrs L. NJ Stansbury of the Rocky

reading Of a letter from Rev. H W.
Thomas of the Peoples church. proba-
bly, the most widely known minister in
Chicago. who has heretofore been a
Republican. but yesterday he an
nounced himself for Bryan. The vital
part of the letter was as follows:
Il am with you in the cause you ad-
vocate; believing it to be right, just
and for the greatest good of all. 1t is
from a moral and humanitarian stand
point rather than a political or party
platform that I have been compelled to
follow my judgment and conscience in
taking a stand on the side of the peo-
pie" H. W. THOMAS.

BRYAN HAS No GUARD.
a Pinkerton Man Accompanies Him
to Capture Thieves.

Detroit, Oct 22.-The reports circula-
ted that Mr.. Bryan is guarded by
Pinkerton detectives have for their
foundation the mere fact that one Pink
erton man was engaged by the Demo
cratic national committee to endeavOr
to break Op the gang of pickpOckets fol-
lowing the Bryan party. At nearly
every place where Mr.. Bryan spoke up
to a few weeks ago many people were
robbed and several of the newspaper
men and others with the candidate We're
among the sufferers
When MIR. Bryan started west from
New York after the Tammany demon
stration. on September %, the thieves
became bolder and worked close to ME-.
Bryan. Going through West Virginia,
they secured sums ranging from $50 to
about $500 from Senator Faulkner, ex-
Senator H. c. Davis, Colonel n. W.
Fitzgerald, the POpulistic candidate for
governor of West Virginia and several
others
All these gentlemen We're with ME-
Bryan when their pockets were rified,
Colonel Fitzgerald having the candi-
date by the arm the second time he was
relieved of his Valuabl in one day.
The national committee consulted the
Pinkertons, and they sent Michael Ma
l0ney, one of their men, to accompany
the nominee.
His instructions We're to look out for
pickpockets. and during the first week
he was with the party he secured %
crooks and the gang has abandoned its
work.

Clarke, assisted by the members of the
faculty and a squad of seniors.

team and the breaking Of the half mile
running college record by 6 seconds by
a lightweight of the freshman class in

Every American Citizen Asked tc
Display 1T on October 81.

Denver. Oct. 22.-Nayor AIcDIurray
has issued his proclama ton asking all
citizens to display the American flag
on October 81, Irrespective of party.
II want it understood. however, said
the mayor to a reporter, that no ad-
vertising must be attached to any Of
these flags. as the American flag is too
sacred to be used for advertising pur-
poses Neither should it be used to
further the interests of any political
party or faction. but its folds should
shelter all true Americans, no matter
what their political connections may
be No man nor set of men can claim
a monopoly on the American flag. The
attempt of Mr.. Hanna to use it in the
special interests Of his candidate should
be condemned by all fair-minded Amer
leans. No part of this country is more
loyal to the American constitution and
the American flag than the state Of
Colorado, and 7 hope the people will
emphasize this by decorating their bus
mess places and homes with the stars
and stripes on the 31st Of this month"
