clined denomination because he could
not stand the st. Louis platform and
wished to work for Bryan. On the
train coming down here there were SO
delegates, Populists and Silver men.
Someone during the trip suggested that
we take vote to ascertain the senti-
ment of the party towards Bryan.
Eighty five were for his unconditional
Endorsement. l and nearly all the rest
of the Silver Party delegates are ex-
Republicans. One of them, Frank Nye.,
O brother of Bill, is the commonwealth
attorney for Hennepin County, in which
is located Minneapolis. He was elected
as Republican by 16, 600 majority, but
he is going to vote for Bryan.
Mr.. F. M. Howard, one of the Ne
braska delegates, who has been especl.
ally active in the interest of Bryan, said
Yesterday in speaking to a Republic
man. Il am for Bryan because he
is man of principle and child of the
people. His efforts have always been
towards the advancement of the masses,
not classes. The only charge they can
bring against him is his age, and yet
the greatest leader the world has ever
seen, he to whom all bow in AFFECT
humility, Jesus Christ, was three years
Younger when he converted the world.
Governor Holcomb is also with the
delegation. The Governor is most
sanguine. He will not cOncede there is
the slightest doubt of Bryant and Sewall 8
Endorsement by the convention. Ne
braska, he says, will go overwhelmingly
for the Democratic standard bearer.
South Dakota S delegation is practic-
ally unit for the Endorsement of Bryan
by the Populist Convention.
Freeman Knowles Of Deadwood, the
Populist nominee for Congress from the
Black Hills District, says: 1t would
be suicidal for the Populists to nominate
candidate this year. The chief cry of
the Middle of the Road people is that
the Populist party will be swallowed by
the Democrats unless they preserve
their independence and make nomina-
ton. This is foolishness. Neither
party can carry the election without the
aid of the other.
Why should the great cardinal prin
ciple for which both are fighting be
sacrificed to save mere party organiza
tion2 Seventy five per cent. of the
Populists will vote for Bryan regardless
of the action Of the convention
For years we have been calling the
adherents Of the old parties slaves, and
we shall prove ourselves worse slaves if
we willingly persist in course which
can only result in disaster. -
Mr.. r. E. Dowdell, secretary and
treasurer of the South Dakota State
Populist Committee is also in favor OF
indorsing the Democratic candidates.
Mr. Dowdell said: 'Our committee
declared for the Union of the silver
forces and resolved that Bryan was in
their eyes the most available man to
fulfill these conditions. | abide by the
action of the State Committee and will
work for Bryan as hard as though he
were the most orthodox of Populists.

Senator Jones Says Bryan Made No
Promises.

From the St Louis Republic.
Mr.. Bryan has made no promises to
any living man. When the sun goes
down on election day he may not be
elected. but he will not leave behind
him single promise.
1T would be easy enough to make
promises to the Populists to secure in
dorsement by their convention, but
Mr.. BRYAN has made none and will not
make any. He has not agreed TO do
anything in return for any action they
may take.
He has not authorized me to make
any deal with the People s Party, do
not like that word. He has made no
promises as to the bestowal of patron
age in the event of his election, and
none will be made. He is DESTROYS of
uniting the silver forces, and will gladly
accept the support of all silver men, no
matter where they come from.
II hope the Populist Convention will
indorse Bryan and Sewall, and since l
arrived l have received a good deal of
announcement of that hope. 1t occurs
to me that everybody who believes in
the free coinage of silver can, with per
feet good grace and confidence vote for
our nominees and thus assure the
restoration of bimetallism at the earliest
possible date,
1t was Senator James X. Jones of
Arkansas, chairman of the Democratic
National committee who spoke the
quoted statements He made them in
reply to questions asked by a reporter
for The Republic. The questions We're
suggested by the claims of certain Pop
ulists that Senator Jones had promised
that Mr.. Bryan would know no party if
he is elected. This was meant to i'm
ply that the patronage would be divited
between Democrats and People s Party
men. Senator Jones emphatically de-
MED having made any such statement.
There has been greater activity in the
Bryan camp since the arrival of Senator
Jones than at any time previous to that.
There are two reasons for this. Up to
Sunday night there were comparatively
few delegates in the city, and Senator
Jones is known to be clothed with au-
thority to speak for Mr.. Bryan.

IT is very evident that the st. Louis
Populist Convention, after great deal

President and Vice President. The

SENATOR ALLEN

A Bryan and SeWall Man Selected
for Permanent Chairman of
the Convention.
The Van Buren press., 1896-07-25

ST. LOUIS, July 21.-There are as
many different opinions among the
delegates TO the Populist convention as
there are varied ideas among the
different advocates of government
reform scattered throughout the
country.
Nearly every Populist is leader, and
has scheme of his own how the gov
eminent can be saved. The situation
here may be summarized thus:
The opinion is unanimous that the
Populist organization must be pre-
served.
Can that be done by the Endorsement
of Bryan and Sewall2 There s the rub.
Southern Populists, with few
exceptions, claim that it cannot.
Eastern and Western Populists claim
that it can.
Texas, Arkansas and other Southern
States are clamorous for straight
middle of the road Populist ticket.
They are willing to nominate Mr.. Bryan
If he will declare himself Populist.
This is the view of a majority, led by
Hon. Thomas Fletcher, chairman of
the state committee. Senator Butler,
of North Carolina, is in favor of indoors
ing Bryan, nominating a straight Popu-
list for Vice President and dividing
electoral tickets with the Democrats.
He insists that this is the only move
that will cause concentration of the
entire vote against Mckinley.
The Colorado and other Western
delegations are almost a unit for an
Endorsement of Bryan and Sewall un-
conditionally. These are the views of
the regular delegations and also of
ex Gov. Waite, who came here at the
head of contesting delegation.
Senator Jones, chairman of the
National Democratic Committee, will
not consent to division of electors and
the nomination of some other person in
the place of Sewall. He thinks both
Bryan and Sewall will be Endorsed by
the convention.
AS I view the situation, no matter
what action is taken, there will be a
split in the Populist party. Nothing
that can be done here can prevent the
great majority of Populists from sup
porting Bryan and Sewall.
Senator Jones brings very encouraging
news of the outlook for the Democratic
candidates in the Eastern States and
feels confident of success.
