JOHN j. INGALLS, ON GOLD.

mo people, in great emergency,
ever found faithful ally in gold. 1t
is the most cowardly and treacherous
of all metals. 1t makes no treaty
that ii does not break, it has no friend
1t does not betray. Armies and ma
Vies are not maintained by gold. In
times of panic and calamity, ship
wreck and disaster, it becomes the
agency and minister of ruin. No ma
ton ever fought great war by the
aid of gold On the contrary, in the
crisis of the great peril 1t becomes an
enemy more potent than the foe in
the field, but when the battle has
been won and peace secured. gold
reappears and claims the fruits of
victory"

I see in the near future a crisis ap-
preaching that unnerVes me and
causes me to tremble for the safety of
my country. AS a result of the war,
corporations have been enthroned
and an era of corruption in high
places will follow, and the money
power of the country will endeavor
to prolong its reign by working upon
the prejudices of the people until all
wealth is aggregated in few hands
and the republic is destroyed. l feel
at this moment more anxiety for the
safety of my country than ever be-
fore, even in the midst of war. God
grant my suspicious may prove

The New York World (hessian) finds
fault with Mr.. Bryan because In 1892. it
alleges, he voted with the majority Of
the democrats of Nebraska for Weaver.
the populist, who had a chance to carry
the state, and actually came within 1904
votes of carrying 1t against Harrison.
Weaver had no possible chance of cleo
ton TO the presidency, and Cleveland
had no possible chance of carrying Ne
braska So to carry that state for Weaver
was the surest way to help Cleveland and
beat Harrison. Harrison carried the
state and received its eight electoral
votes for no other reason than that 1905
more democrats did not vote like the
World says Mr. Bryan did, whose vote
for Weaver, if he so cast 1T, was the most
effective way of voting for Cleveland
and against Harrison. Cleveland re-
ceived 24,943 votes, which were not only
thrown away, but actually helped to-
wards making Harrison's election possi-
BILE, by giving to him the electoral vote
of Nebraska, which, if one-fifth of them
had been cast for Weaver would have
taken that vote from Harrison and by
so much have strengthened Cleveland
and helped to his election.

4 PopuIist Estimate Of the Electoral
College Vote.

St Louis Republic Special Correspondence
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Senator
Butler and the Democratic managers
are pleased with the progress of fusion.
I The conference between Senator'S Jones
and Butler seems 10 have had effect,
and il is believed that the agreements
entered into between them are gradually
being carried out. Populist head
| quarters received a telegram from North
Carolina this morning confirming the
news of a successful fusion of the
Populists and Democrats of that state
on an electoral ticket. The deal was
made last night. The Populists get five
electors and the Democrats five. The
other eleetor is given TO the Silver
| believed here that Mr.. j. J. Mott, who
was the temporary chairman of the
Silver party national committee, will
be the elector who will go on to
represent that party.
Secretary Edgerton also received word
this morning that fusion arrangements
in Wyoming had been completed.
Under this arrangement the Democrats
will have two electors and the Populists
one.
These things gave Senator Butler a
satisfied feeling this morning.
THE fusion in North Carolina, he
said, ENSURES that state to Bryan
beyond all doubt. -
Chairman Butler thinks that fusion
will go along easily from now on. He
thinks the North Carolina fusion will
have good effect in other states. The
managers are now at work in Kentucky
and Indiana. and they predict that
perfect fusion will be established in
those states in few days. The antics
of Paul Vandervoort in the West do not
disturb the leaders here. Vandervoort
is back number, has no influence and
it is well known that he has become
responsive to the suggestions of Mark
Hanna. The only thing that surprises
the leaders here is that an up-to date
man like Hanna should have anything
to do with Vandervoort, who has been
in all factions of all parties, and with
none long.
These expressions of opinion are but
specimens of the information received
by the Democratic managers daily.
Secretary Edgerton of the Populist
national committee gave the Republic
