vANDERyOORT's LETTER,
BY United Stand Sewan Can Be
Forced from the Ticket.


sas, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada and
all the west except Oregon and
Washington. We divide electors in
California and Montana, while South
Dakota gives them all to the Demo-
Gratis.
In the south the Bryan Democra-
cy refuses to give us one single cleo
tor, relying on their power to stuff
the ballot box and by false counts
steal electors in the solid south.
The conspiracy of the bourbon De-
mooracy in the south, the silver men
in the mining states and traitors in
Nebraska, Kansas and Iowa is be-
ing carried out to destroy the Peo-
pies party. In Nebraska the Hol-
comb and Allen wing Of the Peoples
party take the state ticket and give
the Democrats four straight electors
and then they have four others who
will vote fer Sew&ll without doubt'
Howling about freeing tbs nation
from foreign rule, they have placed
on the electoral ticket a Swede, q
Gsrnan, an Irishman, q Polander,
and Bohemian or five ont of eight.
The Democrats feel outraged at
being compelled to swallow Holcomb
and his satellites, but they had to Go
it to get the electors for Sswall, as
all the Holoomb crowd wants is pie
and plenty Of it, aud if Bryan should
be elected they would demand still
farther reward for their treason.
They have nominated for congress a
Republican in the third district who
has never left the party, Democrat
in the first and second aud the I'M
maoulate and only Greene in the
sixth. In the fourth and fifth we
have true Peoples party men, Judge
Stark and Switzerland. Such is the
condition here. The trade will be
carried out down to county officers,
snd Peoples party with eighty-fve
papers carrying Bryan and Watson
at their masthead submit 30 the in
famous ssll-o arranged before the
delegation went to St. Louis. The
Bryan Democrats polled less than
10000 votes last fall, and honestly
believe that the silver Republicans
outnuInber them in the state. The
Republican Bryan men have not
been conceded one thing unless we
call Judge Maxwell concession. Il
is all Democracy IN the saddle. I
was in Texas when the Democratic
state convention spurned and spit
upon the Populist state committee
when they asked for division of
electors. So it is all over the south.
The purpose is to destroy the Peo-
pies party and put the southern
bourbons in full control for another
quarter of a century. They have
dlsfranchised two-thirds of the peo-
pie by the infamous Mississippi and
South Carolina constitution, and
they propose to enact similar provi-
sions in all the south. They are not
honest in their advocacy of silver.
They will betray the cause again as
they have in the past. The great
question in the south is a fair ballot
and an honest count and it will be
sacrificed by the triumph OF Bryan
and Sswall. For my part will not
support Sewall electors in the state
and will fight them in every state
where we have the power.
I will support Bryan and Watson
electors but the cheat and swindle
has been carried SO far that all mid
die of the road Populists, If they
wasn't to preserve one iota of their
party, must at once demand Sewall's
withdrawal and that Bryan shall at
once accept our nomination and full
ly dignity our party which has kept
alive the cause of silver for five
years. I hope and trust that all
Peoples party traitors like Holcomb,
Weaver, Taubeneck and every other
one who are before the people for
office this fall will be ignominiousIy
defeated.
Not one single honest Populist
will be recognized in this campaign.
None but the Aliens, Leases, Weav-
era, and that class have any stand
ing with the Bryan Democracy.
We have tamely submitted to out
