Mr. y. wall 10 MIR Bry,n.

Chicago. Sept. 3.-Chairman Jones Of
the democratic national committee has
made public a letter to William j.
Bryan from Arthur Sewall. apparently
dated July 25. at which time the popu-
list convention was I'm session. The let
ter. which 10 exciting a great deal OF
comment, reads as follows;
my Dear Mr.. Bryan: In view OF the
action OF the st. Louis convention to-
day ] cannot refrain from giving you
my thoughts on the situation. My ad-
vices are that you have been nomi-
mated as candidate for president and
Mr.. Watson for vice president ! also
learn through the press dispatches
that you are somewhat undecided
whether you ought TO accept or de-
cline. Now | desire To say to you with
the utmost frankness and good feel
ing, that you must not allow any per-
sonal consideration for me to influence
you In your action. l desire you to do
Just what you believe 10 be best for
the success OF the head OF our ticket.
The principles we are flshsing for are
so paramount TO any personal consid-
erations that the latter should not
have any weight or influence whatever
with your action. I cannot for mo-
ment allow myself 20 oe a factor In
any action on your part that would In
the slightest degree hazard an cleo
toral vote for you. With kind regards
to Mrs. Bryan, believe me. your sin
eere friend, Arthur sewall.
Bath. Me-. July rs
The democratic managers at the
headquarters insisted the letter had no
further Significance than Mr.. Bryan
would consent to receive a formal notl-
fcation from the popullst party In the
near future and the publication was to
forestall false rumors as to the attl-
tude OF Mr. Sewall towards such GER
emony.
Accompanying the letter is an ON
ciai statement to the effect that sew
eral days ago Chairman Jones wrote
a letter 10 Sewall stating to him tr1ut
many democrats throughout the
country. and especially throughout
the West. were objectine to fusion
with the populists ON electoral tick
cts. for the reason that they did not
wish 10 be disloyal 10 Sewall. In re-
ply tn Chairman Jones. Mr.. Sewall
forwarded the foregoing copy OF a
letter written to Mr.. Bryan.
Upon being questioned as 10 the
time when Sewall's resignation would
60 into effect. Chairman Jones said
1.-The talk about the retirement Of
our candidate for vice president "
too absurd to be seriously discussed.
Mr.. Sewail's letter. written directly
after Mr.. Bryan's nomination by the
St Louis convention Is a splendid H.
lustration OF his loyalty to his ss>o-
ciate on tho democratic national
ticket. He sees no embarrassment
whatever in Mr.. Bryan's nomination
Cor president by another party and
upon another ticket. but believes II to-
be an important step towards certain
victory for the silver cause. II II a
complete answer to the Efforts of the
gold democrats 10 crate the impress
sion that Mr.. Scwall win retire I'M
der any circumstances. to ray that

jority will insist upon the adoption Of

The free silver sentiment among the
democrats has the same ground-swell
roll to it that the Mckinley movement
has among the republicans. The ef-

condemnatory resolutions by the ma
tional convention. If that can be done.
the friends of the president feel they
