New York state is to be partly can

GATHERING OF QUAKERs

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, August 49,
Chairman Bynum, of the executive com
mittee of the national democratic party,
stated to-day that 1t can be positively
asserted that every state in the union,
except Nevada, Idaho, Utah, and pos.
sibly one southern state, will send a
full delegation to the indianapolis con.
vention. The sound money headquar.
ters has secured what they consider a
mighty valuable campaign document
in the shape of letter alleged to have
been written by Nominee Bryan to
George M. Garden, Of Dallas, Texas,
February 18th, 1898. The letter, they
say, justifies the sound money bolt and
destroys the criticisms of Bryan upon
the action of the gold men at Chicago.
Here are some extracts that will be
spread broadcast by the committee:
"As early as 1898, when the demo-
cratic state convention of Nebraska,
controlled by candidates for federal Of
fees, endorsed the presidents financial
policy, stated that would not follow
the democratic party to a gold stand
ard.
"Directed by my conscience and by
my best judgment, shall use that vote
to defend my rights, protect my family
and advance the welfare of society.
No convention can rob me of my con-
victions, nor can any party organiza-
tion drive me to corspire against the
prosperity or liberty Of my country.
"Men who honestly differ upon para
mount public questions cannot afford
to be harmonizsd by the national con-
vention. Cleveland would not sup
port free silver candidate for the
presidency, and he should not do SO If
he really believes free coinage would
ruin the country, because mans
duty to his country is higher than his
duty to his party.
(Signed) w. j. BRYAN"

CHAIRMAN BUTLER TALKS.
The Populsts and Democratic COMMITTEES VIII
Work In the Utmost Harmony.

WASHINGTON, D. c., August 49,
Unless the wishes of Chairman Butler
and the members of the executive com
mittee are set aside, Mr.. Watson, the
populist candidate for the vice-presi-
dency, will not be officially notified OF
his nomination for that place. Chair
man Butler, last night, while declining
TO mike any specific statements on the
subject, said the failure to notify would
not be unusual. for the reason that the
populists had never yet notified candi-
dates. Chairman Butler denied that
any pooling arrangement, for the cir
cnlation Of literature, had been ar
ranged betw ween the democrats and
populists, but admitted that they would
work together in the utmost harmony.
1t was decided by the committee, last
night, that there should be but one
head for the populist executive com.
mittee. and the congressional commit
tee, and Senator Butler will therefore
preside over all the work.
