SPR1NeFIELD, Ills, Sept. 5.--Senator
John Palmer, who was nominated for
president by the indianapolis convention,
has returned to his home in this city A
committee OF four met him at Illlopolis,
20 miles cast Of here. On the arrival OF
the train at the Wabash station, in this
city, Senator Palmer found a crowd OF
about 500 people who cheered as he alight-
ed from the train. About 200 people,
headed by military band, escorted him
to his home, which had been handsomely
decorated by his friends. Ex-State Senator
Hiram p. Shumway introduced Senator.
Palmer to the crowd OF 500 that had AS
sembled, who heartily cheered him. SEN
ator Palmer addressed them as follows:
Il feel grateful for the kind words
which have just bUon spoken, but nothing

borly assemblage that greets me here on
my return from Indianapolis l feel pro-
foundly grateful to you, my neighbors FOR

press my feelings. l can only say, may

II went down TO Indianapolis, as you
know, without any expectation of recelv-
ing even O recognition from the conyen-
tion that was to assemble there I went
there earnestly desiring the nomination Of

who had won honor I'm the service Of his
country and who deserves honor from his

also to associate with that name another

izing that complete restoration Of the
Union, that complete oblivion extended

past and the recognition of pure, earnest
patriotism Iexpected TO render that serv-
ice 70 my country. After reaching there,
for reasons that do not know-for rea-
sons that they would not give to memo

resontative Of that code of political opinion

large one, composed of men eminently

Views OF Thomas G. shearman.

LONDON, Sept. 5.-Thomas g. Shearman
of Brooklyn has a long letter in The
Times this morning on political affairs in
tho United States, in which he applauds
the selection Of Palmer and Bucknor by
the indianapolis convention and predicts
the defeat of the Republicans in 1900.
For" says Mr. shearman, "tho Dem
ocrats have invariably won their greatest
victories in the years following their
worst divisions and defeats. The Repub-
lioans are largely responsible for the Is
sues of irredeemable paper and for the
forced issue of silver dollars. I am strong
ly convinced that the independent DEM
ocratio movement is destined to bring
about the ultimate victory Of sound mon
ey. The election of Mr.. Mckinley Will
keep tho currency in reasonable security
for the next four years, after which the
Democrats will come together on plat
form, roughly speaking, for free banking,
free trade and probably an income tax,
and will win great victory"

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Sept. 5--At the Pop
ulist county convention a great sensation
was caused by l. Wade Mcdonald, one Of
the delegates, reading the following from
Jesse r. Grant, son of General U. S..
Grant: II have noticed with much inter
est your withdrawal from the Democratic
party and espousal of the Peoples Party.
This action meots my approval since
have concluded to enroll myself in the
same cause. The financial plank in the
Republican platform must drive from that
party any one who believes as 1 do and
the anarchical plank in the Democratic
platform must lose 70 it any person who
believes in the protection Of American
citizens at home as well MS abroad. The
platform OF the Peoples Party has on the
contrary, no Objectionable principles and
seems to offer a political home that an
American may proudly enter" " Mr. Grant
has been a resident Of San Diego for sew
eral years. He has large property interests
here, but has taken little part in public
affairs His letter provoked prolonged ap-
plause In the convention.

NEW YORK, Sept 5--The Hrralds for
eign correspondent visited Colonel Henry
Wattorson at Geneva and obtained from
him a statement OF his views regarding
the work Of tho Indianapolis convention
Colonel Wnttcrsun says
A better ticket than Palmer and Buck
ner could not have hoen made Among
the surviving heroes of tho war they stand
pro-ominont. One was gallant soldier
of tho Union, the other was an equally
gallant soldier Of the COnfederacy.
"Thoy join hands to fight the new sec
tlonalism that menaces the integrity OF
tic nation. Thus they represent not mere
ly honest money, orderly and responsible
government but complete reconciliation
between the north and south.
Each has shown himself to bo trust
worthy and capable in civil affairs, one as
Fovcrnor of Illinois and senator the othor
as governor of Kentucky. Thoy merit en-
thusinstic support from patriotic voters
everywhere.
Il am particularly delighted by the cir
cumstances that both Palmer and Buck
nor are born Kentuckans. True, they are
Old men, but neither is as old as Gortsoha-
koff whom he held tho destinios of Russia
in his hands or as Gladstone when he was
last prime minister of Great Britain.
The honest movement for home rule
and revenue reform will ring oil along the
line to the apt refrain Of The Blue and
the Gray, and will carry the day. The
boys in tho trenches, whether northern OF
southern, will rally around the flag OF
these two old soldiers, and we shall see
the beginning Of new era Of patriotism,
sound Democracy and good government.
1.-THE third ticket nominated will moi
ther defeat Bryan nor elect Mckinley, but
it will represent the great body Of public
sentiment and opinion which has rights
Of representation and IS not represented
either by Bryan OF Mckinley.
1t is too early to predict the election OF
oither Bryan or Mckinley. Many strange
things have happened in American poll
tics-straRger things than the election OF
Palmer and Buckuer Undoubtedly, II
the sense of tho country could be taken
neither Bryan nor Mckinley would re
ceive a majority of votes. Twice have the
people rejected MoKinleyism, and they
never will accept Organism.
