that he will have more details than
ana at present aware Of But this much
know. He feels that he owes much
to the patriotic Democrats who prefer
principle to strict party ties. Indiana,
for instance, was unquestionably car
ried against fusion by Democratic
votes. He recognizes the very great
service performed by Democratic and
Independent newspapers during the
campaign. Maj. Mckinley will en-
deavor to see collected great nation
al party that will give prosperity to
the country. He expects and hopes
that men Of all shades Of former POI.
itical belief will be united to this end.
/ have talked with some of the most
influential Of the old Democratic lead
ers and am glad to say they are in
accord with Maj. McKinley's hopes.
The first movement he will make will
be TO obtain sufficient revenue to con-
Duct the government. Further issues
Of bonds would be altogether too
dangerous Business prosperity and
stability demand that as soon as pos
sible the government should be on
paying basis. To this end an extra
session of congress will be necessary
and President Mckinley will undOubt
ton. Legislation will be required to
secure the desired revenue and Mr..
Mckinley will do everything In his
power to secure it, as we'll as the legal
establishment Of q policy which will
tend to put everybody at work In all
this he hopes and expects that he will
be backed by patriotic men, regardless
f0f party lines. AS for myself am not

To the Populist
Washington, Nov. 10-Chairman But
. Ter, of the Poprlist national committee,
In an address to the Populists, says, in
part:
Had it not been for the prejudice
against the Democratic name, as well
Hs q want of confidence in Democratic
promises, for which it must be frankly
admitted past experience furnished
ample ground, majority of the votes
of the country, in spite Of the tremend-
Gus and unparalleled forces put for
ward by the Republican managers,
would have cast their vote for financial
reform and American independence.
The Peoples party, with a high patri-
!! ctism and an unselfish devotion to
principle, greater than ever before ex-
Ihibited by any other party, stepped out
side Of its organization to throw its
Z, OOO, 900 votes solidly for Bryan Had
not more than this number Of those
who called themselves Democrats in
1894, given their support to Mr.. Nc
Kinley. the cause Of the people and
American principles would have tri-

mOnOpolies and trusts in the future
Their places in the ranks Of the re-
form hosts must be taken by patriotic
Republicans. In fact, Bryan would
have been elected in this contest had
even $4,000 more silver Republicans
come to the rescue. The sition of
the Peoples party in this great contest
has convinced every patriotic Ameri-
can that the party can be trusted to
stand for the principles of good govern
ment and the interests of the people
Under any and all circumstances.
Therefore, the Peoples party will be
the nucleus around which the patriotic
hosts must and will gather to redeem
a betrayed republic and to restore
prosperity to an oppressed and out
ragged people
Statement by Towne

Charles A. Towne has made the fol-
lowing statement:
i wish it distinctly understood that

been rumored. The ISLANDERS connect
ed with the way I have met the re-
suit OF the election ave been Of a
piece with those which characterized
its progress. When I took the stand
many months ago in behalf Of the well
fare of the people, as understood it.
and against the trusts and gold stand
ard powers, I then underwent all the
bitterness of self-renuEciation. Il was
prepared for personal failure. I was
not consulting my own selfish interest.

ers Of the Republican party. took my
political life in my hand with full
knowledge of the CONTINGENCIES and
prepared for either fortune. Thence
forward It was the peoples fight more
than mine. As to the cause itself, for
which we have fought so yalorously,
we shall not despair of it. We believe
that events will justify our contention.
mat no permanent prosperity is posi-
bic under the gold standard. When
that demonstration Is made we shall
come forward again, and. reinforced
by the unanswerable arguments of ex-
pefience, we shall restore the money of
the constitution and the reign of the
people. Our noble leader, Mr.. BRYAN.
Is young. vigorous and undismayed. In

IN the greatest popular uprising the
