names. In this case also he expressed the
opinion that the committees VIII not he
fully NAMED until the meeting in New
York. lie may, however,. announce an
individual member or two during his stay
in this city.
Questions hearing on the attitude OF Mr..
Rrynn towards the populist nomination
and affecting the retention OF Sewall on
the National ticket are those on which the
chairman declines to express an opinion.
The senator's attention was called 30 the
statement in the Atlanta journal, made
by Hon. w. l.. Peck who led the Georgia
delegation at the ponulisl convention. that
there was an understanding between pop
ulist and democratic leaders that II the
populists would nominate Bryan for presi-
dent and a Southern populist for vice
president that Mr.. Sewal would retire
from the race. Regarding this Mr.. Jones
declared that so far rs he knew no ar
,angemcn.s of the kind were entered into.
The chairman is well satisfied with tine
general situation and says that the den-
ocratic ticket Is as GOO as can he He
r.diculcs the idea of 4 reaction on the sill
vei sentiment and looks for its continued
progress.
This sentiment" he said. began with
the repeal of the Sherman act and has

Mckinley and Hanna are both afraid Of

State. They have reliable correspondents
In every township in Ohio. and the reports
Of these correspondents are. to the effct
that the silver wave bids far to sweep
over the commonwealth.
Mckinney understands the West better
than his Eastern party friends. He has
been much through the West and has an
extensive acquaintance with Western
men. AS a result the republican candi-
is about ready to admit that II the money
question is made the chief issue of the
