DOran's Return

Bryan is being kept in the East for
bluff, and not because he is helping
the free silver cause or making votes
| for his party" ID. w. Lawler says:
IF the election should be held today
Bryan would not carry a single East
ern or middle state, CONTINUED Mr..
/ Lawler, land 1 believe he would lose
! West Verginia, Kentucky and Alabama
as well. Bryan has failed to make any
impression in the East. If it were not
| for the appearance of the movement,
the suggestion that their candidate had
been frozen out, Chairman Jones and
| others of the National committee,
would have brought their candidate
West long ago. 1t only remains for the
honest Democrats of the South and
| West to repudiate the false doctrines
represented by Bryan and the platform
on which he stands to compass the de-
feat of his Populistic following.
1.-The genuine Democrats ofrthe ma
ton are up and active. Every state,
with the possible exception of three,
will be represented at the Indianapolis
| convention. The popular demand is
| for third ticket. Senator Jones was
wrongfully quoted when it was report
ed he was opposed to naming a third
| ticket. Honest Democrats who are
| opposed to McKinleyism, who cannot
| subscribe to Bryan's views, yet who
believe the party organization should
! be preserved, are back of this third
party movement, and will vote for the
| Indianapolis nominees. The Bryanites
will be amazed at the number of Demo
! Gratis who are now reckoned as free
silver men, but who, by reason of their
| environment, are unwilling to de-
clare themselves, are in favor of the
| National Democratic party and will
support it's candidate. In Minnesota,
although I have been absent so long
that 1 am not in close touch with the
situation, L find the free silver move
ment weaker than month ago. My
private mail adViceS assure me of that.
| On the contrary the a., sound money
Democrats are organizing all over the
| state and there's growing interest in
| the movement. 1 doubt not that a third
state ticket would be hailed with joy
by thousands of Democrats in Mime
sofa.
1.-The nominees at Indianapolis will
likely be Senator Palmer or Gen. Bragg
with Gen. Buckner; of Kentucky, for a
running mate. Sentiment seems to be
largely in favor of Senator Palmer.
Both candidates will undoubtedly come
| from the West to add strength to the
National Democratic movement for
sound money. The East is already
solid, and does not want a Candidate
on the national ticket. The mention OF
my own name in connection with the
4 vice presidency, originated with Gen.
| Bragg, of Wisconsin, and was accepted
| by me as a compliment to the Demo

such action would carry. Kentucky for
sound money. The Minnesota delegat-
ion will probably leave for Indianapolis
| Sunday night. Besides the delegates,
I am informed many interested Demo
Gratis will attend from Minnesota. There
| can be no question as to AtheAsincerity
of the sound money movement, and the
attendance at the Indianapolis gather
| ing, and the platform that will be
adopted, win prove that the Demo
cratic party has lost nothing of its
principles or Vigor of ennlity to Popu-
] liStic schemes.
ST did not call on Chairman Jones, of

on Saturday I understand he has read
me out of the party and that I have
been cast out of the councils of the
committee-by Chairman Jones. Very

right to declare my seat vacant, and

meeting, but because of Senator Till

proceedings illegal and beyond the

make some definite arrangement for

Doran returns to America earlier than

be the subject of any communication
