POPULIST CAMPAIGN BOOK.
1t Will Chiefly Criticise the Repub1i-
can Party and Lnud Mr.. Watson,

The national committee Of the populist
party has not yet gotten out its campaign
hand book, but will do so in the near flu
ture 1t may be that the publication of
this work will be delayed until about Oc-
tober l. 1t will not be. statistical work
to the extent that the hand book of the
republican committee is, but will be COM
paratively small, and devoted chiefly to a
review of the republican situation, and its
publica ton at late date will allow Sen
ator Marion Butler under whose directions
it will be compiled to take advantage of
any developments In the political situation
that are favorable to criticisms of the re-
publican party.
The hand book will refer its readers to
Gordon Clarks book on money and Tom
Watson's campaign book on the political
history Of political parties, and will not
attempt to cover the subjects discussed by
these publications. which will be placed on
sale by the committee, together with its
hand book. The hand book will tell some
thing of the political record of it's candi-
dates. and will especially emphasize the
fact that Vice Presidential Candidate Tom
Watson has been Endorsed by a large num-
Der of labor organizations for his work in
behalf of labor. 1t will cite mis- work in
Congress in favor of the eight-hour law
and show that nearly every labor organiza-
ton throughout the country passed resolu-
lions thanking him for his labors in their
against the employment of Pinkerton de-
tectives during the Homestead riots and
against the bill introduced in Congress for
the mobilization of state militia as a part
of the United States army. His speeches
In opposition to government by injunc-
ton" will be referred to, and 1t will be
shown that he took this position while both
the democratic and republican parties were
approving the legal procedures against
which he protested. His advocacy of the
automatic car-coupler bill in Congress will
also be referred to and the great number
of trades unions which thanked him for
humanitarian act toward railroad employees
will be cited.
The really unique feature of the hand
book will be it's character as a criticism
of the work Of the opposition up to a date
within about a month of the election.
whereas campaign speakers will have to
look to other sources for information on
the leading issues of the campaign

Mckinley.
ENTHUSIASTIC TURNOUT

MT. VERNON, ILL.,, Septe mber 14-Be-
tween 5000 and 1900 persons packed them
selves into the court house square at Mt.
Vernon today waiting for the coming of the
three-time nominee. The ever present
country bend did its level best, and the
Bryan CLUB. dressed In white duck suits,
preserved a line from the car to the plat
form from which Mr.. Bryan spoke. Mr..
Eryan was introduced by Judge Semple Of
the appellate court, who announced thai
he had always been a republican himself
until this year. Mr.. Bryan said:
Ladies and Gentlemen: 1 appreciate the
fact that this meeting is presided over by
one who until this campaign has been a
republican. l also appreciate the fact that,
while our opponents may say of me that l
am young and lacking in public experience,
they cannot bring that charge against a
member of the appellate court. whose juds-
ment and heart Rave led him to espouse the
cause of the people" (Applause.)
Il am glad that from day to day We are
finding recruits to our cause, from those
whose position in public life raise them
above the SANDER of those who apply the
name OF anarchists or disturbers OF the
public peace to those who raise their hands
against the encroachments of syndicateS
and corporations. (Applause.)
My friends. those of you who were here
know that l not only did not declare my
self a democrat, but that l have always
declared myself better democrat than any
man who sought to undo what Jeffer son
and Jackson did for the American people.
(ApplaUse) Since that meeting great events
have taken place
"A few months ago / was in your midst.
then as a private citizen, simply represent
ing a cause which was near to my heart.
and when l told you here that the brand of
my democracy was different from the
which being ed bv ha
administration, your city was advertised
by those who tried to make Il appear that
l denied that l was democrat.
Since We net here last March the re-
publican party met in national convention
at St Louis, and did what no party in this
nation ever did bef0rs-soiemnIy declared
that the financial policy of this country
should depend. not upon what the Ameri-
can people desired. but upon what foreign
nations. IN their compassion. would allow
the American people to have. (Applause.)

CONFERENCE WITH GORMAN.
Senator Jones Sees the Maryland
Senator at Laurel.

Senator Jones reached Laurel at 7:3O
o'clock Saturday night. Senator Gorman's
carriage was in waiting, and he was driven
to the Senator's home. He remained there
until yesterday afternoon at O'Clock, when
he came to Washington. His long trip
gave him plenty of time to discuss the
democratic chances with the sstute Mary
lander. and he took advantage of 1t.
A conference between two such leaders
of the party, 9and of such duration. would
not, 1t Is thought, be confined to any spe-
cial matter or matters. 1t would take a
general turnt, except that the weak spots
would receive more, attention than any of
the others. Senator German is recognized
as the most prominent democratic leader In
the east. THIS and a long experience IN
the national game of politics make him de-
sir1ble company for a man managing a
campaign so full Of stumps in the road
A probable visit by Senator German to
New York within a day or two explains
what may have been one of the specia!
things talked over by the two leaders. 1t
gives color to the impression that Senator
German has been called on to take charge
of the eastern campaign. Senator German
may not permit his part in the eastern
fight to become known. but there is not
much doubt that The will take a strong
hand -

THE INFLOW OF GOLD.
The Bank of EnElnnd's Action VIII
Not Check 1t.

The impression prevails at the Treasury
Department and in financial circles outside
that the action of the Bank of England in
increasing it's rate of discount will not ma
terially affect the shipment Of gold to the
United States on the general ground that
such flow is entirely in the natural order
Of trade. Whenever there Is a heavy ex-
portation of gold from Great Britain, the
Bank Of England invariably seeks to pro-
tect its 80 per cent reserve by advancing
the rate of discount. The rate Of 21s per
cent, which was made last Friday, is not
regarded here as an unusual one, consid
ering the circumstances. further in
crease In the rate of discount to per cent
Is said to be probable, unless the outflow
of gold ceased. Such an advance, 1t Is
conceded. will have an important effect in
more ways than ore.
The purchase Saturday of $4,000 from
the Bank Of England for export to this
country shows that the gold movement
this way has not ceased. That there will be
further Withdrawals from the Bank of
England next week there Is little doubt.
One CT the members of New York bank
ing firm that is conspicuously identified
with the present sold-importing movement
says that his firm expects to receive sew
eral more consignments of gold from Eu-
rope within the next ten days, and he does
rot believe that any increase in the Bank
Gf England's rate Of discount will inter-
leIe Win the no" oI the yellow metal in
this direction.
The t. tai amount of gold that has ar
rived here from abroad since the present
movement began Is nearly S23. $4,000. The
tmpcrtations last week alone amounted to
81, 10000. The steamship Paris. which ar
rived in port Friday night. brought $780,
600 in gold for Ladenburg. Thalmann &
Co., and that firm deposited 800 600 in the
subtreasury in exchange for greenbacks,
which were sent to New Orleans. I.azard
Freres have more than $2,OOOUO of gold
now on it's way from Europe. and this will
bring the firms total importations up to
$1O,2JO.OOO. The New York Produce Ex-
change Bank has received notice from
London that a consignment of 100000 In
gold is en- Its way to it.
The demand for currency in the south
and west has been heavier during the last
week than for any week previous 1t is
estimated that the subtreasury and the
banks together shipped about 100000.
1t Is thought that the unusual demand
for currency In New Orleans is practically
over,
