KEEP FAITH WITH THE SOUTH.

The work Of the late Populist con-
Vention at st. Louis was in q large
measure q compromise on q line be-
tween two positive ideas advocated by
intensely earnest men. Most Of the
Southern delegates favored a straight
Populist ticket, while most of the dele.
gates from Northern and Northwestern
States favored indOrsing the Democrat
ticket named at Chicago.
After two days Of close debate, the
Southern delegates agreed to a ticket
with Bryan for first place and some
Southern man for second place.
AS evidence of good faith, the con-
Vention changed the order of business
80 as to nominate the candidate for
Vice President first, and Mr., Watson
of Georgia was named by very large
majority. The next day Mr.. Bryan
was chosen to head the ticket.
In view Of these facts good faith re-
quires that 'Populists throughout the
country, wherever they put out State
ticket, should head 1t with Bryan and
Watson. These men are our csndi-
dates, chosen after long deliberatiOn,
at q convention OF Populsts called for
the express purpose Of placing In nomi-
nation candidates for President and
Vice President.
The argument that two candidates
for Vice President endangers success
Is not tenable, The Electors chosen
for the two will all vote for the csndi-
date that has received the highest
number, provided the whole number is
q majority Of the total Electoral vote
Of the country. The object of all
Popullsts, Democrats and silver Re-
publicsns-is to combine their vote In
the end on one candidate In order to
elect.
Wherever q satisfactory arrange
ment can be made, the three parties
can unite on one ticket; but this can
not be done In all cases. Let US keep
faith with our Southern brethren and
they will not betrsy US.

D'ALBANI AGAIN ARRESTED.
Prosecution That rallied Here Trans
ferred to Minneapolis,


P. j. G. D'Albani, against whom the
grand jury failed to return an indict-
ment last Saturday on the charge of
btgamy, and who was discharged at
that time, was arrested in MINNEAPOLIS
yesterday on the same charge, pre-
ferfed by the same woman who caused
his arrest in ST. Paul two months ago.
She claims to be Mrs. Cecilia D'Albani,
residing at $50 Wabasha street, and al
leges that the prisoner married a young
woman in St. Paul while. she was his
lawful wife. When arrested in this
city, D'Albani did not deny that he had
been married to the woman who
charged him with bigamy, and also ad-
mitted that he had again married, but
claimed that he believed his first wife
had secured divorce. According 10
his story she was nearly ten years his
senior and after their marriage did not
get along well together One night a.
short time after his marriage to the
woman who claims to be his legal wife,
DAlbani claims to have gone home
and found her missing. He alleged
that he had never again seen the
woman but once, when she told him she
would never live with him again be-
cause she did not have to do So This,
with the statements of some friends to
the same effect, D'Albani claims to
have construed into the meaning that
the woman had secured a divorce, and
believing this to be the case he had
married again.
When arrested in this city D'AIbani
was bound over to the grand jury and
gave bonds for his appearance. In a
report last Saturday that body failed
to return a bill against him and he
was released. D'Albani was, at the
time of his arrest, employed as book
keeper for the American Hoist and
Derrick company. He was arrested in
Minneapolis yesterday by Sheriff
Holmberg, of Hennepin county, and
arraigned in the municipal court ON
the formal charge of bigamy, when he
demanded an examination, which was
set for this morning at 10 o'clock, bail
being fixed at $500.
