MITCHELL OF WISCONSIN IN LINE
Appears at Bryan NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and
Populist Butler Confer.


Populist Butler Confer.
WASHINGTON, Aug 19.-The appearance
of Senator Mitchell, of Wisconsin, at ma
tional congressional headquarters yester-
day was an occasion for congratulation.
1t was announced several days ago that
Senator Mitchell would support Bryan,
but this is the first appearance of the SEN
ator at the committee headquarters, of
which he is member Senator Mitchell
always has been a pronounced gold man..
Senator Butler, of North Carolina, Is
here to meet the Populist national COM
mittee, and during the day Jones' of the
Democratic national committee, conferred
with him, but so far as can be ascertained
no conclusion was reached on the subjects
under discussion. Butler, it is said, did
not seem ready to make any concessions
to the Democrats and the latter did not
propose to make an unconditional sur
render.
The Populist committee was in session
all the afternoon. Although there was no
question as to the power of the executive
committee of the Populist party to take
any steps in regard to strengthening out
the complications resulting from the NOM
ination of Watson and the rejection Of
Sewall Ga power which was conferred by
resolution on the national committee)
this question formed the subject of much
of the discussion.
"What action did the committee take
with regard to the withdrawal of Bryan
or Watson from the Populist ticketP" was
asked of Senator Butler.
"The Peoples party ticket as named at
st. Louis" replied Senator Butler, sis
Bryan and Watson, and that will be the
Peoples party ticket until the polls close
in November" At Democratic headquar-
tiers this statement was modified by the
fact that the Populists in the west have
fused with the Democrats.
So Buffers statement was not taken as
founded on the facts as they exist The
Democrats will continue to urge an ar
rangement in the south similar to that
had in the west, and are particularly
anxious as to Kentucky and North Caro-
lima.
Chairman Jones left today for Chicago.
He announced that the literary bureau of
the national committee will be in charge
of Clark Howell, the member of the COM
mittee for Georgia. He will be assisted by
Representative Richardson, of Tennessee.
The Republican campaign committee is
getting out new supply of literature.
There will be ten-page edition of Bryan's
free trade speeches, Senator Sherman's
history of the act of 1878, four pages on
silver and the farmer, and leaflet on sill
yer and the debtor.

Chorus of the Whole $4,000.

There was a second outburst of cheering
and of flags when Cochran was introduced,
which lasted several minutes, and while it
was in progress sixty singers, chosen from
among the city's banks and titled the New
York Banks Glee club sang "The Star
Spangled Banner" the vast audience
swelling the chorus with thunderous eff
feet. Cochran was smooth-shaven when
he confronted the audience and his first
words rolled to the farther ends of the
hall. Frequent outbreaks of cheers fol-
lowed his periods

IN ls0c, before 1 was known politically
outside of my state contained free coin
age plank, and my Republican opponent
that year was an advocate of free coinage.
In the campaign Of 1892 again ran on q
frce coinage platform. In 1894 1 again ran
on a free coinage platform. and my OPP
ponent for the senate, Mr. Thurston, while
opposing unlimited coinage at 10 to in
sisted that he favored bimetallism. 1
wrote the free coinage plank on which 1
ran in 1890, and the free coinage planks in
the Nebraska state platforms in 1891, 1894,
and 1896, and tried to secure the adoption
of free coinage planks in the state plat
form In 1892 and 1Sa3
Il only mention this to show that my
advocacy Of free silver is not of recent
date Having made this answer to Mr..
Thurston's letter, shall hereafter take
no notice of individual or newspaper COM
ment on the subject. If the Republican
national committee will say officially that
l have ever been employed to deliver
speeches by any mine owner, group of
mine owners, or by any association sup
ported by mine owners, am ready to
make statement showing in detail all
money received by me for speechmaking."

NEW YORK, Aug 19.-The second notable
In New York was held last night under
the auspices of the Democratic Honest
Money League of America in Madison
Square garden, where Hon. w. Bourke
Cochran addressed an immense audience
with a speech entitled 'In Opposition to
Reputation. Cochran had been selected
to answer Candidate Bryan's speech be-
cause of his opposition to the Chicago
platform and because of the reputation as
an orator which he had earned by his
participation in the tariff debates of two
congresses, and by his famous protest
against the nomination of Cleveland de-
livered at day-break in the convention of
four years ago.
Hall Was Elaborately Decorated.
the people filed in. They found the hall
deliberately decorated with banners and
bunting of the national tri-color fes-
TONED from the ceiling and draped about
the four-tiered oval of galleries. In place
of the small platform from which Bryan
had spoken was erected a big stage where
on were seated many of the vice presidents
of the meeting whose names made list
800 strong. and in whose ranks were in
cluded many of the most prominent bust
ness men, financiers, bankers, and railroad
presidents of New York and other cities.
Eighteen Thousand Hear Cochran.
Eighteen thousand seats had been placed
IN the garden and all of them were filed
when Cochran advanced to the front of
the platform and was greeted by tremen-
aous cheer, men climbing upon their chairs
and waving little American flags which
had been strewn through the hall. Three
hearty cheers were given for Mckinley
and there were Kisses when a gallery god
yelled whats the matter with Bryant"
Major John Bryne, the president of the
league, called the meeting to order, adj
dressing his hearers as Democrats who
love their country above party" and ex-
horting them to save that party from re-
pudiation, anarchy and socialism, and
then presented Hon. Perry Belmont, who
made a short speech by way of overture to
Cockran's effort.
