ton was not large, yet there were
present representative members of
the party.
Mr.. Giles F. Glascock Was called
to the chair by the ex-chairman TO
act as temporary chairman and Mr..
Will Montgomery was named as
temporary chairman. The ex-chair-
man. just before calling Mr.. Glascock
to preside, made very brief speech
somewhat blazing the way and was
followed by Prof. Woody in some
pleasant words and explanation.
Then an advisory board of eight of
the most conservative men in the
party was elected whose function is
to act in conjunction with the execu-
tive committee of the county, the
two with full powers to do whatever
convention might do, and after
this committee had retired and care

WARRINGTON. Ang. 2o.--The ex-
ecutive committee Of the Popnlist
party has adjourned, subject to the
call Of the chairman. II has accom-
plished all that could be done 1t the
present time in arranging for head
quarters in Chicago. 1t was decid-
cd that j. Il. Sovereign should be
assigned TO the Chicago headQuxr-
ters which will be under the man
agement Of Mr.. Warshburn, Of Mas
saehusetts.
Chairman Butler, Of course, will
be in charge here and will give his
whole attention to the campaign.
Mr.. Butler will be assisted by Sec
retary Edgerton, who will be here
during most Of the campaign c. H.
Pirtle, chief Of the Senate doc ument
room, will be in charge of the send
ing out of documents. Mr.. Butler
said to day that the class of litera-
ture which was to be sent out had
not boea decided upon. AS far as
ps ssiblp aocuments which can be
frankeo Will be sent out. These will
include speeches by Populists in
Congress and some of Tom Watson's s
will be among the number selected.
Some Of the literature being sent
out by the Democratic committee
and also by the Silver committee
will be distributed. Chairman But
ler said this morning that the COM
mittee was of course embarrassed
for want Of funds and Secretary Ed
gerton said that the committee must
rely upon voluntary subscriptions as
much as possible.
1--WE have Clipped in," said Chair
man Butler, ''to pay our expenses
thus far. We have no rich men to
make large contributions for cam
paign expenses. l expect we will
have to make campaign like 9TH
ers We have made in the South,
where we have managed with very
little money"
Chairman Butler will enter into
correspondence with Populist lead
ers and with free silver leaders in
various parts of the country at once,
and endeavof to effect an adjust
ment of all existing difficulties which
will bring the supporters Of silver
and Bryan in harmonious action.
The Silver party and the Popu-
list party to day moved into head
quarters with the Democratic party
in the Wimley building. Vice
Chairman Stevens, of the Silver
party, said to-day that the silver
branch headquarters in Chicago
would be every bit as important as
the headquarters here and would
have charge of the campaign in the
Western States.

Bryan's having been at any time In
receipt of sums OF money for services
rer rdered TO the BimetAlie League.
A canvas of those persons here
who have been most energetic IN
circulating the report against Mr..
Bryan has resulted in an aeknowl-
edgement of their inability to repro
duce any proof of the statement.
They say that their reasons for be-
iieving it true were that it had. not
been denied.
No checks nor drafts that could
be supposed to come from any one
connected with the silver interests
have ever come to Mr.. Bryan
through the Lincoln banks nor have
been cashed or deposited by him.
An officer of the Columbia Ma
tionaI bank, where Mr.. Bryan has
kept his active account, says that
Mr.. Brvan's bank account never
amounted to more than q few hun
dreds of dollars. This man has al
ways been opposed to Mr.. Bryan
politically.

Mr.. Daniels Mission.
Washington Post.l


Josephus Daniels, member of the
Democratic national committee from
North Carolina, came here to try to
patch up party difficulties in that
State. He was in conference with
Senators Jones and Butler yester-
day, but without much result, as
Senator Butler seems entirely salts
fed with the political situation in
his own State. He says the eleven
electoral votes of North Carolina
will be cast for Watson. Mr.. Dan
iels left for home last night. Moth
ing, he said, has been accomplished
thus far. He said that the Demo
Gratis had offered the Populists five
electors out of the eleven. He
thinks Mr.. Buffers statement will
prevent the possibility of a Populist-
Republican fusion such as was fear
ed, but that it may result in placing
three electoral tickets in the field.
When Senator Butler was inform
ed that Mr.. Daniels had stated that
the Democratic vote in that State is
125. 900, the Populist vote $4,000,
and the Republican 10, 900, he said:
"Did you ask him why it is that a
party with 125.O0O votes wants to
fuse with a party having 5O,O0O7 II
is generally admitted that the party
polling 100000 votes in a three.
cornered fight in North Carolina
will carry the State. The only in.
ference is that Mr.. Daniels knows as
we'll as anybody that the last vote in
North Carolina is something that
his party cannot afford to rely on,
as there has been a new election Law
enacted since then"
Mr.. Butler added that his party
would undoubtedly put up Bryan
and Watson electors, which of itself
insured there being three tickets in
the field.

The impetinence of those employ
ers of labor who are striving to dis
credit the movement in favor of the
free coinage of silver by paying of
their men in Mexican dollars is
only equaled by the shallowness OF
their argument. With silver de-
monetized in the United States, with
the silver dollar as now coined,
standing not as q dollar at all, but
as q promise to pay q dollar-a mere
certificate of Indebtedness, in which
there is no more need to put . dol
lars worth of silver than it is neces-
sary to put . dollars worth of pa
per in a greenback-in such q situa-
ton it is inevitable that the silver
coins of foreign countries should
have here no more than their bullion
value.
The Mexican dollar is coined 70,
use in Mexico, and has shown itself
q thoroughly serviceable instrument
for the purposes for which it is de-
signed. In Mexico it buys just a,

as it did thirty years ago. And wha-

"In Massachusetts, daily meetings

est is at fever heat. In organized
labor circles the discussion Of this
question has been going on for
years, and nearly all Knights of La

cere believers in free ard unlimited
coinage.
"My belief is that the working
men of this country, the mechanics
and laborers in the cities, and the
men whose labor feeds the nation
are going to stand up for what they
believe is right. An immense amount
of money will be used, but there can
be no such thing as wholesale cor.

AS TO ELECT THE OTHER, AND WILL
LEAVE NOTHING IN ITS POWER UN-

The foregoing announcement was
made by Senator Marion Butler to-
night to some newspaper correspond
ents. During the day Mr.. Butler,
who is Chairman of the Popullst Ma
tionaI Committee, had had confer
ences with Senator Jones, Chair
man Of the Democratic National
Committee, and with Senator Faulk-
ner, Chairman of the Democratic
Congressional Committee, and a
correspondent has asked him wheth-
er the Populist Executive Commit
tee now meeting in this city would
take action towards withdrawing the
name of either Bryan or Watson
from the Populist National ticket.
This declaration was made in the
presence of George F. Washburn, of
| Massachusetts, a member of the
Populist Executive Committee, and
Chairman Butler turned to him, say
ing:
II believe that represents the
unanimous opinion of the commit
tee does it not7"
"That IS perfectly correct" re
piled Mr.. Washburn, "and so far
as we are advised it represents the
unanimous sentiment of our Ma
tional Committee as well.' Mr..
| Washburn was so much pleased
| with the directness of the statement
that he insisted upon having a copy
of the words taken down for his own
use.
NOT TO NOTIFY CANDIDATES..
In answer to the question as to
whether Messrs. Bryan and Wat
son would be notified of their nomi-
nation by the Populist convention,
Senator Butler said:
"It has never been the custom OF
the Populist Party to notify their
Presidential candidates. Weaver
and Field were not formally notified
of their nomination, and all the pre-
cedents of the party are against this
practice. In fact, it seems to be tn G
unwritten law of the Peoples Party
to refrain from these formal Motif.

"Was the determination not tc

BRYAN'S EASTERN INVASION CALLED
OFF.
The fact that Mr.. Bryan's Eastern
invasion is called off shows that
his managers are disappointed
with the New York trip. 1t was q
mistake. The same expenditure OF
money and work in the West and
South would have harvested results
four times as great. The North and
East will almost sarely be controlled
by the gold standard men. The
crack of the job-lash will compel the
reluctant votes Of the very laborcr:
who have been cheering Bryan Oh
his way to New York. Free silver
votes would be given over to the
North and East If there were free
voters to give them, but q MAJ

National Headquarters Selected

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-Chair-
man Butler this afternoon Announced
the appointment of the following
Popuhsts finance committee for the
campaigns: H. W. Reed, of Georgia,
chairman; DR.. C. F. Taylor, of Penn
sylvania, and M. C.. Rankin. of In

Geo. F. Washburn, of Massachu-
setts, has been appointed to take
charge Of the headquarters at Chi

getting business affairs in shape Mr..
Washburn will 60 to Chicago. Chair
man Butler says that headquarters
will be opened up tomorrow or next
day, probably in the Wormley build
ing, under the same roof with the
Democratic committee. The latter
committee holds an option upon the
proposed rooms and Chairman
Faulkner has offered them to Chair
man Butler.
Butler is favorably impressed with
the location, and in view of the fact
that there will be more or less OF
unity of action between the Demo.
Gratis and Populists, it is believed
that he will accept the offer. But
| ler denied that any pooling arrange
ment for the circulation of literature
had been or would be arranged be-
tween the Democrats and PoeuIists
but admitted that they would worl
together in the utmost harmony
"You cannot send out too much lit
: erature in a campaign like this
said he, 'for the people are cryin,
for light and knowledge upon tn
, one question of finance. The two com
mittees will not interfere, for Will,
we may send out largely the sam
