with a few words OF welcome, and added;
SHOW THE WORLD HONESTY.
Tho condition of the country is now such
that every man Is thinking about Il; every
woman Is thinking about it ana wondering
how we are to improve that condition.
read today In the North American Review
an article from the secretary OF the navy.
Mr. Herbert Of Alabama whom / long
knew as a member OF the national house
OF representatives,. lie has just Visited
Europe and he describes the business con-
ditions OF Germany and England and
France as possessing q degree OF activity
and prosperity, the Ike Of which thcy
never enjoyed before. lie closes 10y saying
that the United States was never so un-
prosperous MS she is today. and then he
makes the inquiry is not the United
states and its working people with all
our natural resources enjoying share Of
the prosperity that is enjoyed by England
and Germany and France. We all know
my fellow citizens, why we are tn the midst
OF depression now, and | think We know
why these great nations of the world, our
competitors, are prosperous We are doing
less Of our own work and they are doinE
more Of II for MS. Great gpplnusel Every
body admits the condition that Mr.. Her
bert describes. The question in every
American mind Is how 70 remove the
cause and how to get back the old pros
pcrity which we had enjoyed for more
than n third Of century. We must have
confidence in the first pincc. Npp!auscJ
How can we get that confidence can
we get II by degrading our money? Cries
OF mo. no.'D Can We get 1t by drprc-
ClatinE our currency! lrleS OF no ,
Can we get It by threatening the redcmp-
tion or partial rcpudlation OF private
debts? Can we restore by destroying con-
fidcncc2 Can we get by disquictudc and
turmoil and repudiation? can we restore
confidence by monthly and yearly dcicen-
ces In the public treasury? We can only
get back confidence, my countrymcn. by
letting the whole world know that this IS
an honest nation OF 100000 OF people and
thnt 1t proposes to pay all its debts In ~
good money as the world knows anything
(lfTpuf cheering
we have established that, which we will
do three weeks from today tremendous
Chcerlng), we propose to resume business

MEET TO ADJUST PLANS OF FUSION.

nrNnns' Election ~ Sure.
CHICAGO, Oct. IA meeting Of the
populist national executive committee was
held at the Sherman house today to con
si1cr the question OF fusion in Kansas and
Colorado, over which considerable friction
has arisen. II is probable that action will
be taken locking toward the displacement
OF some Of the democratic electors In the
states named and putting populist electors
In their places. All OF the members OF the
national executive committee were prescn.
with the exception Of John 5. Dorr Of Cali
fornla.
After hearing reports from the members,
and especially from II. w. Reed OF Georgia,
who has recently spent several days with
Tom Watson, the committee decided to
!ssuu a manifesto. II was drawn ND end
rcad at length. The committee frankly an
nounCes that the election OF Bryan and
Watson without the consideration OF demo-
Gratis is impossible. without surrenderins
any of loyalty to the principles of the parry
II has been decided to fuse with the demo-
Gratis. arranging for a division of the cleo
toral vote in every state possible, giving
so many votes to Bryan and Sewall and so
many to Bryan and Watson. All loyal popu-
lists are urged to vote the fusion ticket.
Efforts of the middle-of-the-road populsts
are denounced as revolutionary and in
tended only to defeat the cause of free
s.lver.
Tho members of the committee admitted
after the meeting that this statment is in
the nature of a rebuke to Thomas lG Wat
son, who has been calling on all populists
to keep in the middle of the road without
paying attention to either of the old parties.
Early in the afternoon Senator Marion
Butler said that Mr.. Watson would remain
on the ticket and that his resignation Ia
not been discussed. A different story was
given out after the meeting when it was
said Mr.. Watson had been the cLief sub
ject under discussion during the day.

CHICAGO, Oct. 13.-Chairman Jones Of
the democratic national committee gave out
a statement tonight characterizing as absurd
the figures showing the probable result OF
tho election as given out by Senator Quay.
Chairman Jones states that in all the
states classed by Senator Quay as doubtful, u
complete and harmonious fusion between
tho democrats, populists and silver repub-
llcans exists rendering them certain for
Bryan. For the same reason he classes
as doubtful the states OF Iowa, Ohio and
Wisconsin and claims for Bryan the cleo
toral votes of Illinois, Indiana, Kansas,
kentucky, Michigan Minnesota, North Da-
kota and West Virginia. all of which were
claimed for Mckinley Mr.. Quay.

sumed his official duties after an extended
vacation In the west He announced today
that he would take no part in the election,
but added II he was to vote he would

platform he regarded as satisfactory. His
reason for not voting he said is the dis

said, "but | don't think any one OF the
candidates can rest on their oars with
assurance. The republican party Is making
a great mistake now in Dragging Of strength
and not doing more work. There is no
certainty until the election is an assured
fact and less noise and more work in con-
vincing voters OF the right principles and
the right creed for them to support is
needed. This failure to appreciate the
strength of the opposition was evident when
the election note was first sounded. | be-
