Mr.. sewn1l Placed Himself Mt Bryan,r
Disposal.
Chairman Jones of the democratic ma
tionai committee has made public a letter
10 william ]. Bryan from Arthur Sewall
dated July Is. at which time the populist
convention was in session. The letter
which is exciting a great deal of comment
reads as follows:
My Dear Mr.. Bryan:
I'm view Of the action of the St Louis
cor vention today, 1 cannot refrain from
giving you my thoughts on the situation.
my advices are that you have been NOM
mated as candidate for President and Mr.
Watson for Vice President 1 also learn
through press dispatches that you are
somewhat undecided whether you ought to
accept or decline. Now, ! desire to say
10 you with the utmost frankness and good
feeling that you must not allow any per-
sonal consideration for me to influence YOU
In your action.
Il desire you will do just what you be-
l1eve Is best for the success of the head
OF our ticket. The principles we are fight
ing for are 50 paramount to any personal
considerations that the latter should not
have any weight or influence whatever
with your action.
Il cannot for a moment allow myself to
be factor in any action on your part that
would in the slightest degree hazard an
electoral vote for you.
Win KIM regards TO Mrs. Bryan, be-
lieve me your since friend,
ARTHUR SEWALL.
Bath, Me-, July o.
The democratic managers at Chicago
headquarters insisted the letter had no
further Significance than that Mr.. Bryan
would consent to receive a formal notifica-
ton from the popuist party in the near
future. and the publication was to fore
stan all rumors as to the attitude of Mr..
SeWall to ward off a ceremony.
Chairman Jones dictated the following
explanation as to how the letter comes to
be published at this time:
Several days ago Chairman Jones wrote
letter to Mr.. Sewall. stating to him that
many democrats throughout the country,
ard especially throughout the west, were
objecting to fusion with the populists on
electoral tickets. for the reason that they
did not want tc be disloyal to Mr. Sewall
In reply to Chairman Jones, Mr.. Sewall
forwarded a copy OF the letter written to
Mr.. Bryan. dated July d. 1896.
THE talk about the retirement of our
candidate for Vice President is too absurd
to be slrior SLY discussed Mr. Scwall's let
by the st. Louis convention. is a splendid
illustration of his loyalty to his associate
on the democratic rational ticket. He sees
no embarrassment whatever in Mr. Bryan S
nomination fer President by another party
and upon another ticket, but he believes it
to be an important step toward certain vic
tory for the silver cause. 1t Is a complete
answer to efforts of the gold democrats to
create the impression that Mr.. Sewall will
retire under any circumstances to say that
the democratic party and its national or
CARNATIONS are just as loyal to Mr.. SewalI
as he himself is to Mr.. Bryan and the
great cause of the common people"

points Of vantage. The exterior pressure
caused the solid human mass to sway and
surge like pillows on the ocean. Many Leo
pie were carried off their feet, and consid-
cradle excitement was the result. Mr.
Bryan cased speaking and waited for the
disorder to pass. But the swaying con-
tinued, and Mr. Snively arose and made an
appeal for order. He spoke SO coolly and
calmly that the crowd ceased swaying to
listen, and the disorder passed away.
George Felowan, chairman of the demo-
cratic county committee, introduced Mr..
Sn1vely, who wasted no words in present.
ing Mr.. Bryan to the audience. Mr. BRYAN
was greeted with cheers, and spoke at
length On the money question
