NATIONAL POLITICS.
ANOTHER SENATOR'S BOLT.

Seattle, Wash.-U. 8. Senator Squire,
Republican, who ia now in New York, has
sent the following statement here and it
has been read at all Bryan and Sewall
club meetings in the state:
'I take my stand with the friends of
silver, and heartily indorse the platform
adopted at the conference of bimetallists
at Tacoma, June 80. As necessary se-
quence, shall support Bryan for presi-
dent. The money question is the para
mount issue of the campaign. All others
can be held in allegiance. 1 believe that
the growth of gold monometallism is the
chief cause of the continued falling of
prices that is causing so much distress,
and that, if the monometallist policy be
persisted in, the result will be general
bankruptcy and ruin. 1t will be better
for Us to suffer some risks and losses at
present rather than Infiict 30 much greater
losses upon ourselves and our children at
a later day, when creditors, debtors and
the interests of labor will goSdown in one
common and universal ruirsit we do not
proceed wisely beforehand 10 avoid such
great disaster. ThereforeAI trust the
friends of silver will particularly unite, in
one common cause, regardless OF pfex5eus
party ties, and =. work for the speedy re-
mobilization of silver in this country,
which, ii,accomplished, will do more than
can be done in any other way to effect sill
YER reconciliation throughout the world.
It is my intention to proceed to the state
of Washington as soon as possible to bear
my share of the burdens of the coming
campaign, which think is one of the
most important, if not the most import
ant, in its history. bid Godspeed to the
cause of the people,"
The state of Washington is being rapid
ly organized by late Republicans, such as
the present attorney general of the state,
W. @. Jones, who is chairman Of the state
central committee of the silver party; ex-
Gov. Miles g. Moore, leading banker,
and Judge Turner, of Spokane, all OF
whom are enthusiastic for Bryan and
Sewall.
THEY WANT STATEHOOD.
Guthrie, O. T.-The Democratic terri
torial central committee, after confer
ence with committee of the Populist
territorial convention, agreed to indorse
the Popuhst nominee for delegate to con-
gress, and agreed that all free silver
forces shall unite in every county and
Legislative district, the offices to be fairly
divided between Populists and Demo-
Gratis. The Populist convention adopted
platform declaring the financial ques-
tion to be paramount, and demanding
the immediate free coinage of silver. 1t
asks immediate statehood for Oklahoma,
with the Indian Territory attached later.
Judge J. II. Woods, formerly county
attorney of Oklahoma county, and chair
man of the Republican county central
committee of Oklahoma county, has de-
clared for silver and better times, re-
signed as chairman and is now doing
good work in the cause of silver.
Judge R. G. Hays, formerly city attor-
ney of Oklahoma city, and leading Re-
publican, has come out for the cause of
silver.
DR.. Peck, of Edmond, a leading phvsi-
cian and one of the best posted men in
the county, is supporting Bryan and sill
YER
Major Moose, one of the best citizens
of the county, is out for Bryan and silver.
The changes are numerous and all one
way, there being no accessions to the
Mckinley and English side. Oklahoma
voters are nearly all in favor of an inde-
pendent American policy, realizing that
by this plan only can they hope to be ad-
mitted as state at the next congress.
BRYAN COMPLIMENTS HIS RIVAL.
Lincoln, Neb.-In response to recent
telegram from Canton, Ohio, telling of
the formation of Bryan and Sewall club
in the home city of Gov. Mckinley, Mr..
Bryan sent the following:
ssMr. John @. Harmony, secretary Bryan
Silver club, Canton, Ohio.-My dear sir:
am in receipt of your message convey
ing greetings from the members of your
club and beg to assure them of my hearty
appreciation of their support. The fact
that those of your citizens who be-
lieve that the United States is
strong enough to have fnan.
cial policy of its own are willing to array
themselves against townsman of high
character and great personal worth, indi-
Gates the depth of their convictions.
Whenever a great issue arises the Ameri-
can people always prove their independ-
ence and moral courage, characters with
out which self government is impossible.
1t gratifes me that the silver sentiment
in its growth is disregarding party lines.
"Yours truly, W.J BRYAN"
In regard to the invitation extended to
him to speak in Canton, Mr.. Bryan said
that he did not know that he would do 80,
but that if he did it would be an informal
talk from the car platform.
a PROBABLE doLDBUa oANARD.
Pittsburg, Pa.-The Pittsburg Dispatch

County Chairman Leslie of the Populists

feet fusion with the Democrats on the
national ticket. Chairman Leslie stated
