Chairman Butler notifies Thomas
Watson of his nomination on the
pOpulist ticket, beginning thus:
"The democratic and republican
parties no longer represent the prin-
ciples upon which they were found
ed"
Great scot! where are the princi-
pies upon which the populist party
was founded? And then, as il in
mocking derision, the notification
committee Of the populist party, no.
titled Bryan, also in a letter, saying
this:
Your nomination by the peoples
party was not, therefore, made with
any thought that you were n popu-
list, or that you accepted ali the
doctrines declared by the st. Louis
platform"
Is there any honest and sincere
populist, not seeking an office, who
can approve OF such q bargain and
sale OF his party and principles?
Tan the leaders continue to hood
wink you with such insincerity?

On Saturday while Mr., Bryan, a
democratic presidential candidate,
spoke to 10000 people in st. Louis,
Burk Cochran, a democrat, spoke to
over 10000 people in Chicago in
favor OF Mckinley. COchran's speech
was II of the most remarkable OF
this interesting campaign. He takes
MIR. Bryan's platform and speeches
and demonstrates clearly that they
mean the war was in vain; that the
progress OF this great government
has all been a mistake and a crime
against humanity. This speech,
from Il democrat, is the most scath.
ing indictment that Mr.. BRYAN and
his platform has yet received.

USING The WRONG GAS.
Two Interesting Cases in Police Court
Yesterday Morning.
Natural Gas Used for Illuminating
Purposes--How the Cases Were
Disposed Of-Mr. Buchanan Tells
About This Violation Of a City
Ordinance.

The cases against w. B. Odbert and
George T. H. Tinker, charged with using
batural gas FOR Illuminating purposes in
violation Of city ordinance, were tried
in Police Court, yesterday morning. 1t
appears that one Of The defendants, Mr..
Tinker, represented to members Of the
Gas Board that his offense was COM
mitted through mistake, the plumbing
connection having been made wica the
wrong pipes. The case against Mr..
Tinker was therefore not prosecuted.
A number of gas works employees testi-
fled against Mr.. OdberJ, and S. o. Boyce,
Esq, appeared on behalf of the city. He
was fined five dollars and costs, and the
fine was RENTED upon payment of the
costs.
Considerable interest attaches to :hese
cases, as they are the first prosecutions
of this character Mr.. E. Buchanan,
who is a member OF the Beard of Gas
Trustees, did not know Of the arrests
until he read the Register yesterday
morning. He was seen by reporter,
and made a statement.
For some time past" said Mr.. Buck
man, "our meter takers have reported
a very small consumption of gas from
persons who should be large consumers.
In many cases only meter rent was paid
month after month, when it did rot
appear reasonable that no gas was burn
ed. Our meter takers made an inyesu-
CATION, which revealed the fact that
many persons were using natural gas
for illumination. This is direct vio
latiOn Of the city ordinance. The
BaOrd promptly notified the natural gas
company, and the persons who were
known and believed 10 have been using
the natural gas. The natural gas COM
peny sent out a circular 10 its patrons,
bearing On the matter.
The practice was not discontinued
by several persons, and the prosecu-
lions are the result. OF course, the city
cannot compete at IS cents with gas
selling for Is cents. The Board was
net disposed to act hastily, but first
warned the persons who were violating
the ordinance To-day several large
consumers asked time to make the nee
essary connections for changing back
from natural to artificial gas, and their
request was granted.
Last night, Godfrey Schul, secretary
of the Gas Beard, swoTe out a warrant
against n. c. Brennaman, manager OF
the Wheeling Bakery, for using the nat
ural gas for Illuminating purposes, and
the case will be tried this morning.
Mr.. Odbert last night stated that it
was not his fault that the natural gas
was used for Illumination, as his arti-
fetal gas meter was taken out, and when
his landlord applied for a meter again
it vas refused.

Sir:-This mornings Intelligencer eX-
presses great indignation at the reception

Has not Mr.. Hart, through the columns
Of his paper. denounced Bryan and his
followers as anarchists, lunaucs and re-
indicators? If his charge is true why
should his paper express indignation at
the Vale treatment he received az the
hands of the Nooredeld anarchists. and

ANYBODY as anarchists. 'lunaics
Mr.. Harris Yale friends are anarchists
Did his paper condemn their treatment
Of Mr.. BRYAN? Does Mr.. Mckinley or Mr..
Hart condemn the anarchistlc manner in
which Mark Hanna and his hackers are
conducting this campaign? Has Mr.. Nc
Kinlev or Mr.. Hart entered any protest
