SENATOR JONES ON PoPuLIsTs.
What He Did and Did Not Say About |
Them.

Them.
Considerable irritation has been caused by
remarks concerning the populists attributed
to Senator Jones, chairman of the demo
cratic national committee, in an interview
published In the New York World. The in
terview represents Senator Jones as speak
ing rather contemptuously of the southern
populists .
A Star reporter called Senator Jones at
tention to the matter today. The Senator
very promptly corrected the impression
given by the interview. I'm the first place,
he said. IT did not authorize an interview.
In the second place, what said In private
conversation was given a turn In the pub
lication which misrepresented what said
and gave false impression OF my mean
ing. Some of the expressions l did not
make use Of at all. and things l did say
were given turn which was not war
ranted.
II did not say that Mr.. Bryan would not
accept the populist nomination. I have no
authority to say that.
Il did not say that as general rule the
southern populists were not y creditable
class.
'On the contrary I said that most of
them were pa atriotic men, who were work
Ing for q cause: that they were populists
because they had believed they could pro-
mote their cause best through new party,
and that now they would support Bryan
because it was now shown that their pa
triotic objects could be attained only
through his election. This is what said of
the southern populists as Hule.
LAS an exception, I spoke of the class
who were not creditable.
Il said there were some who were pop
ulists merely FOR their personal advance
ment: some who had become populsts
through selfish and not patriotic motives
l spoke of these as the exceptional class
who would not support Mr.. Bryan.
Il said that in my opinion, as rule the
populists in the south would follow the
patriotic course and support Bryan. but
that there were some who. for selfish mo-
tives, would not do so, but would prefer e
have Mckinley elected.
THE publication reverses this.
Il did not make use at all of the ex-
preston. They will go with the negroes
where they belong"
Anger Among the POpulists.
ATLANTA, Ca, August 4.-Statements
made to the Journal today by the leaders
of the peoples party, who are assembled
here for the state convention Thursday
show that Senator Jones' interview, which
the southern populists consider a repudia
ton of themselves, has completely change
the situation.
The peoples party leaders now here say
that the state convention will indorse the
ST. Louis platform and WatSons nomina-
ton, but will call for the denomination
of state populist in place of Bryan.

Why He Changed to silver

Rock Island. Oct. 2I.-Editor
ARGUS: As lifelong republican i,
would afford me pleasure to explain
my change Of views in regard to the
great question which is now the
most important we have. Until
lately my views harmonized with
those Of the gold standard party,
but little incident set me to think
ing. Dropping into the meeting
at Harper's theatre, when Gov. ALI
geld was speaking, ! was impressed
with the enthusiasm of the crowd
that packed the building: being busy.
but few minutes was spent there.
In the evening. after seeing the pa
rade, l repaired again to the opera
house. to hear Powderly. To my sur
prise there was plenty Of room and
no enthusiasm at all. 1t was as
frigid as an icebox. This Get me to
thinking. My impression all along
had been that Rock Island was
overwhelmingly republican, but here
was evidence to the contrary. 1t
takes money to buy campaign suits,
torchlights, hire bands of music.
etc. Somebody beside the men who
march is paying for all that display,
and whoever is paying for it. ex-
poets return on the investment.
Therefore, the cause must be in favor
OF the wealthy. AS > working
man my interests are not in line
with the rich monopolist or trust. 1t
is time we were getting a change,
and the first move we want made
is to put silver back in its proper
place. and the dead tariff issue will
be buried so deeply that it will not
leave even q shadow to remind us
Of its going. REPUBLICAN.

INFAMOUS INTIMIDATION
Il Attempted BY Dugald Crawford q -.

Louis. but Fails.
On Saturday. the 10th, Dugald Craw.
sord. proprietor of the great depart
ment store of d. Crawford & Co.. of
St Louis, discharged twelve of his en-
ployes, some of whom had been in his
employ for many years. because they
confessed. when he questioned them
upon the subject, that they favored the
free coinage of silver and intended to
vote for Bryan. Crawford is a Scotch
man, and. although he has done BUSH
ness in St. Louis for thirty years. he
was but recently naturalized. He is a
Republican and an advocate OF the
gold standard. In discharging these
men he declared that No anarchist
shall breathe the air Of my establish
ment." and told them. further. to go
out and tell their friends they had been
dismissed because they favored free sill

bluntly says:
Finally l ordered my men in the
Office to make out a list of the silver
pleted there We're twelve names on the
list that we were sure of. and develop
ments have shown that we made no
mistake"
This outrage raised n perfect Juror OF
Indignation in St. Louis. Within an
hour after it became generally known
private citizens contributed nearly 81
900 to a fund to prosecute Crawford
for intimidation under both the federal
and state law. and Governor Johnson.
the ablest criminal lawyer in the city.
was employed by the Democratic state
committee to conduct the prosecution.
The labor organizations took p mpt
action in denouncing the outrage, the
papers were full of threats from the
people to stop their patronage of Craw-
ford's store and such a storm was rasied
about Crawford's ears as he never
heard before. Tuesday afternoon, realiz-
ing that discretion is the better part of
valor, Crawford published letter of re-
pentance in The Post-D Dispatch, in
which he says:
Il have invited all of the men to re-
turn to my store and to occupy their
former several positions without preju-
| dice as regards the future. and withou;
loss of salary since they left my en-
| ploy.
"A man in anger often makes mis-
takes. but I do not believe he loses
| any of his manhood by admitting his
error | desire every man in my en-
ploy to vote as he pleases. but he
lieve that every man who carefully
studies existing conditions should vote
for Mckinley. To allow all of my en-
| ployes to vote as they please and have
ample time tn do So I have decided e
| close the store of ID. Crawford 4 Co. a,
| p. IN. on Nov. s."
The issuing of warrant for his ar.
rest has caused many a criminal he.
sides Crawford to repent of his er.
ror." but repentance of this kind
does not stop prosecution. Before
Crawford is through with this mattel

their wages and without whose ser

FOR the last ten or twelve years
the shippers of this state have been
petitioning the railroad and ware
house commission for q new freight
schedule and Reconsideration. Re-
publican commissioners always pig
eonholed these petitions. When Gov.
Altgeld took hold Of affairs things
ceased to be run for the benefit of
the corporations. The petitions
that the republicans pigeonholed
were at once taken up, and although
q Redistribution of 10. 900 articles of
commerce was q great work to uu-
dertale, the commission did it and
granted the relief. The independent
freight bureau maintained BY shippers
estimates the saving to the people by

Rev. Isaac W. Higgs has resigned
the nomination of the National party

companied his resignation with an ad-
dress to his party from which the fol-
lowing is taken:

nation will largely depend upon the
result of this coming election"
Rev. Mr. Higgs makes a strong ar
raignment of the great corporations

exploited by Henry Clews. and closes
