at Chicago.

CHICAGO, ILL, DC 1Ober 14.-An i'm,
portant meeting OF the National Gem
mittee of the Peoples party was held
yesterday at the Sherman House. The
following members present: Sen
ator Marion Butler, chairman; J. r.
Severeis n, Of Arkansas; Fl, W. Reed,
of Georgia; George F. Washburn, OF
Massachusetts; John W. Breidenthal,
of Kansas; M. @. Rankin, of Indiana
J. A Edgerton, of Nebraska; 9. E.
Taylor, Of Pennsylvania. The only
absentee was John s. Dore, of Cali
fornia.
The Committee was in almost con
tiDu0us secret session from morning
until midnight. The preparation Of an
address to the voters of the party en-.
gagged mCsS Of the time. Fusion diff
ferences and the attitude Of certain
members towards Watson formed a
subject of protracted debate. Mr..
Reed came as the personal represent
alive Of Mr.. Watson, having spent two
days with Watson just before leaving
Atlanta. HIS signature to the address,
which explains and justifies joint Wat
son and SewaIl electoral tickets, and
appeals to Populists to support them
al the polls, is accepted as proof that
peace has been restored over this dis
cussiOn in committee.
Mr.. Butler said no ection had been
taken by the committee relative to
WatsOn's withdrawal, and none would
be; that he would remain on the ticket.
Another meeting wall be held today.
Following is the address prepared by
the committee:

PoPULIsTs URGED TO SUPPORT
The TICKET.
,orrespondence of the Progressive Farmer.
TARBORO, N. @, Oct. IL, 1896.

TARBoRo, N. @, Oct. 10, 1895.
Since u State Committee has ar
ranged electoral fusion with the Damo-
Gratis, it is the plain duty of every
Populist to give loyal support to the
whole electoral ticket, and thereby
secure five Populist electors, who will
support Bryan and Watson, and eleven
votes for Bryan, who is III candidate
as well as the Democrats. The silver
question is one Of the fundamental
principles Of cur party, and was forced
to the front il this campaign by the
Populists. Withcu5 cooperating with
the silver eli m2nG Of the Democratic
party we cannot advance this principle,
but would probably cause the defeat Of
Bryan in this State. and gain nothing
for Watson. Let every POpulist prove
himself true TO principle and secure as
many votes as possible for our electoral
ticket, as the election Of Bryan is para
mount to every other consideration. In
so doing we do not compromise our
party. Very respectfully,
w. E. FOUNTAIN.

mittee, and it is clearer to day then
ever that it was the only safe and wise
course if u votes we're to be cast and
made effective for the relief Of an OPP
pressed and outraged people. Follow
ing this line of policy, your committee
has airs nged electoral tickets in three
fourths Of the States. and will do all in
it's I'VE to make the same arrange.
ments in all of the States. By perfect
ing this arrangement, and every sin,
cere opponent of the gold standard
giving loyal support to these joint elec-
torol tickets, the Peoples party will
not only ecure in the electoral college
for Bryan and Watson several times az
many votes as we could have possibly
secured by making a straight ticket,
but we will secure the defeat of Nc
Kinley and the gold standard. which
should now be the greatest desire Of
every citizen who believes IN the prln-
ciples of true Democracy.
by this arrangement we can unite
a large mejority of the voters on cur
joint electoral tickets. Therefore, the
only hope of the money power and
trusts Is so divide and corquer. The
Republican managers and their Demo
cratic allies realize this, end ere put
ting forth every eff2rU to accomplis h
this end. Some Of the Democrats OF
tie revenue stripe, who are not yet
weaned from the fesh-pots CT Egypt,
bat are sticklers for regularity, and
are nominaIiy supporters Of Mr. Bryan,
while secretly AID III every under
ha1ded way try Ing TO accomplish his
d6feaf, ere advising against the joint
electoral tickets, and failing in this
pies party electors, and already a few
so called Populist leadt RS are advising
the rank and f.8 Of our party to strike
back by refusing to support the Demo
cratic elec5Ors on the joint electoral
tickets. This is a trap set by the gold
bugs, who are n rejoicing that a few
honest men have fallen into it. These
reports to day are the only ones that
buoy up the hopes Of the Republican
managers, and the Democrats and
PopullsUs who are thus enleagued are
doing just what the gold men desired.
Therefore, we appeal to every Populist
who may have been misled by such
mistaken Or false pleas of pretended
loyalty to the Peoples party into re-
fuslng to support such joint electoral
tickets, to stop and consider the results
of such conduct, and refuse to be in
huenced by ei5Ler misguided or cur
rupt men.
the revuleon Of the American peo-
pie against these Doodle men during
the last ten days has so united them
that victory is DOW assured.
