Gov. Oates is the Democratic candi-
date for the United States senate. A
large number of candidates for the leg
islature are gold men and will vote for
his election, but we hope to defeat them

from Alabama in November. No one

cision for several weeks. IShall have to
canvass the situation carefully and look
into the claims of the various cities mem

in the committee were St.Louis. Chicago.
Omaha, New York and Washington.
The opinion seems to prevail among the

G. f. Williams returned from the Chi

free silver, there was a demonstration
in his honor that the Boston Globe de-
clared to have been the greatest ever

of the feeling there. Williams will be
the candidate for Governor on the free

has never been carried by the Democrats

BRYAN:S MESSAGE

A Plain Statement by Ono Who Saw thu
gentleman who saw and read the SUD.
pressed dispatch from Mr.. BRYAN I,
Senator Jones, chairman of the nationa1
committee. He possesses fair memory
ana gives the following as the substance
OF the document about which there was
so much talk and excitement during the
last day of the Populist convention.
what Is subJoined may be relied upon
as being substantially correct:
| considering all the circumstances
and conditions" wired Mr.. Bryan. "I
concluded that the Populist convention
should not consider my name for presi-
| Dental candidate, but II It determined
TO nominate me, notwithstanding this
declaration. that there may be no mis-
understanding, desire in advance to
say that shall not during the campaign
discuss any other issues than those out
lined In the Chicago platform. desire
ABOVE everything else to be instrumental
IN having enacted into the laws of the
united States the free and unlimited
coinage of gold and silver at the present
ratio OF 16 to 1, without awaiting the
consent of any other country"
Inc Republican platform adopted at
st. Louis asserts that the bimetellic
system should be restored, but that the
american people are helpless to bring
ABOUT bimetallism for themselves until
foreign nations are willing to assist
Inc american people cannot afford to
surrender the right to legislate for
themselves on all questions. and so long
as the right is disputed, it surpasses ali
others in Importance
The Populist platform presents sever.,
new issues to discuss which during this
campaign will in my judgment endanger
the success of our cause. I am not WILL
ing to be party to anything which will
divert attention from the money ques-
tlon. Nor am I willing to be placed in
the attitude of securing help from other
political organizations by sacrificing
my associate upon the ticket. He is as |
squarely upon the Chicago platform as |
am myself, and he has defended the |
cause of bimetallism against much |
greater opposition than have the men |
OF the west and south. desire to be left
free to support Sewall during the cam
paign. 1t Is due to myself and the Peo-
pies convention that there should be
most outspoken frankness between us.
