of the Grand Army of the Republic. has
written letter to Editor L. @. Batsman

Populist. He says that Senator Butler,
the chairman of the national Populist
committee, has sold out Watson and they
are in a row.
"If you knew as muoh," writes Gen.
Vandervoort "as do about Bryan and
his gang you would never have put up
his name. Two years it was tariff, now
silver-anything is to be elected is his
motto.'i
Gen. Vandervoorr says that after cleo
tion there will be meeting to re.organ-
lie on the ruins. Bateman's Populistic
exchanges in some parts Of the country

thousand people tried to squeeze into
the two Llocks of space on Grand avenue

became terrific. Two solid walls of
humanity found themselves wedgeo in

pushed on against each other by crowds
in the rear. The efforts of the police to
clear the street only increased the terror.
Women tainted by the score and were
trampled on. Children were held In the

fought each other in desperation. The
Widest confusion prevailed for half an
hour and only subsidized when an extra de-
tachment of police fairly beat back the
crowds at the different openings of the
street and made breathing space.

Fusion Between POpulists and Democrats
In Indiana Out Of the Question.
Chicago. October ia dispatch from
Indianapolis says the free silver Demo-
Gratis and Populists have not yet come to
an understanding. Chairman Martin Of
the Democratic committee seemed de-
termined not to accept any terms that
do no involve the withdrawal Of the
Populist state ticket and the Populisrs
seem equally determined to stand out
against such sacifloe. Martin said :
Nothing has been done for about a
week as far as know and nothing fur
ther will be done to bring about union
of our parties. The Populists know my
terms, the withdrawal of the state ticket,
and now they have filed certificate OF
nomination of their state candidates.
I presume that settles the matter. l am
willing to abide by my proposition but
will grant nothing further The terms
proposed are the only ones that will
be considered.

that Senator VIM. M. Stewart of Nevada a
took farewell Of the east last night, after
concedlng this part of the country to the
"enemy." Tho senator held forth to a
GROW d in the corridor of the Hoffman
house early all day yesterday.
"We would have carried New York"
said he, 'had it not been for the
treachery of Hill. In fact you cannot
tell who to trust in New York. Hill sees
he is gone politically and is now trying
to play in with the millionaires SO he
may secure large retainers after he leaves
the senate and becomes an ordinary cor
poration lawyer. Think Of Danforth
visiting him nt Albany. Such things
have very bad effect in other parts of
the country. We can get on without New

make good use Of the ballot; If they do
not it will be the last time they will

power of patronage il so great that with
Mckinley in tHe White House some ssna-
tors now for silver would be won over
