Bishop Challenged to Name an Anarch-
ist IN the Peoples Party.

Boston, Aug. George T. Wash
burn, of this city, Eastern member of
the National executive committee of
the Peoples party, to-day issued the
following challenge to Bishop John Z.
Newman:
Bishop John p. Newman, San Francis
co, CAL.
Dear Sir-The press reports of the
last week credit you with the state
ment that the Populists are no better
than Anarchists and are not good Am
erican citizens, and that you would
urge the 1000 ministers in your home
conference to use their influence in
the pulpit and out against the triumph
of Bryan and Sewall and the election
of a silver Congress.

the church you represent. If am not
"a good American citizen may ask,
are my influence and money still want
ed in your church? If you are no more
correct in your spiritual utterances
than you are in your political, can we
have any confidence in either?
Let me inform you that 80 per cent
of the Populist party are native-born
American citizens, comprising mostly
the sturdy farming element, which
for years the statesmen of both the
old parties proudly alluded to as the
''bone, sinew and stability of the coun-
try" These men are intelligent. pa
triotic and true, and are called Anar-
chists because they have begun TO
think. and the result of their thinking

Again. there were more delegates in
our convention who owned their own
homes and paid taxes than that of any
other political party. May I add, Bish-
op, that you will find your own peo-
pie are not with you politically? Every
State in your section will be carried
for Bryan, Notwithstanding your res
idence there
Lastly the leading Anarchist, Herr
Most, is for the single gold standard
and the Republican party, and I defy
you to name one in our ranks as an
offset to this. Yours for justice,
