10 be formally and offieially notified OF the
populist nomination made at St Louis. Tom
Watson will be notified at the same time. This
may sound strange, In view OF the statement of
Chairman Butler that Weaver and Field were
not notified four years ago. with the inference
that went with IL that, despite the protests OF
Populist Bateman and others, Bryan would
not be notified. At no time, however, did
Chairman Butler say in positive words that
there would be no notification. II seems that
the pressure for the notification Of the populist
nominees had been too heavy for those op-
posed to such a course TO resist, and that the
managers OF the populist campaign have finally
come TO the conclusion that the notification
must be made. just exactly the time for the
notification has not been decided upon. but It
is probable that the manner has been decided
on. There will be no big meeting like that In
New York, but Senator Allen. OF Nebraska
will write a letter to each OF the candidates
officially informing them Of the nomination.
