not resign in Sewall' favor, even il offered
a cabinet position.
Having answered your questions please
allow me to state briefly my reasons for
the replies TO questions Nos. 1 and 2:
II allowed the use of my name to save
my party from extinction.
Indispensable to Success.
''In my opinion the continued existence
of the Peoples party is indispensable TO
the success of free silver. For me to with
draw would he for me to sign the death
warrant of my party.
Ours il the party Of free silver, and we
maintained that principle while the Dem
ocratic party in 1892 and In 1898 was max
ing war upon It, We do not think our
ness simply bscausc the Democrats have
partly duplicated our signboard.
'If the Democrats are so unreasonable
as to refuse ns PopuIists of the south any
recognition at all, that fact. would show
that the real purpose of their apparent
adoption of our principles Is to Kill our
party and not to enact those principles
into law.
III the Democrats are sincere tney Will
not try To put upon us such terms that
every man i'm our party at the south will
feel insulted and humiliatcd.
Gone to the Limit.
IF Mr. Bryan did not want our support
Senator Jones had no business at st.
Louis at all If Mr.. Bryan does want our
support he ought tn be willing to adopt
the policy which will most certainly as
sure him that support, and that policy Is
to accept as a running mate southern
Populist named by the unanimous voice
of the Populist national convention
Our party has gone To the extreme
limit of generosity in the effort to procure
IA union of the silver forces. We did not
claim first place on the national ticket;
we are content with the second.
IF now the Democrats should scorn
our ovcrtures, insult our party, and de-
mand that we bury the Peoples party
before they will accept our aid they, and
they alone will be responsible for the tri-
umph Of the gold standard and the Re-
publican party. THOMAS f. WATSON"

REPUBLICAN PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.
IL Has Been Agreed Upon by Chairman N
Hanna and Major Mckinley.

tttflfa anu
CANTON, o., July 2S. The plan Of the
Republican campaign has been agreed
upon by Chairman Hanna and Major Nc
Kinley An effort Is To be made first to
counteract the free silver movement. The
campaign Is To be on educational lines,
and an immense amount Of literature is to
be distributed to add weight to the politi-
cal speeches made on the circuit The
trend of the speeches delivered thus far by
Major Mckinley has been toward the
protection issue. Chairman Hanna will he
in New York Tuesday to meet the nation
al committee To confer in regard Ia inn
portant questions OF the campaign. The
ostensible purpose of the visit and confer.
ence is to select headquarters. II is said
that Cornelius y. Bliss will be appointed
treasurer Of the national committee early
this week.
Chairman Hanna in discussing the work
Of the campaign gave utterance TO these
words:
The infatuation Of considerable num-
ber of the people of the west with the free
silver idea may be attributed very largely
TO the seductive form in which the free
silver advocates have put forward their
side of the financial question.
In order to offset the effect thus pro
duced we have decided to scatter broad
cast quantities of literature meant to pre-.
sent the money issue in its true light, and
we shall then rely on the common sense
of the American public. and am SURF We
need not fear the result. Thoroughncss Is
10 he the distinctive characteristic VI the
campaign.
Another feature OF this canvass which
will he an innovation will he the active
participation of the workingmen. Their
Interests have been affected very severely
and we intend To give them a voice In all
the councils OF the Republican party.
