Kansas City, July 26.-L. c. Krothoff,

turned to this city. IL is said in con-

will be held TO call a mass meeting for
some night this week. Attorney ]. Med.
Trimble. a more or less prominent local
democrat. yesterday mailed copies OF
the following letter to 200 prominent
gold standard democrats OF this city:
II do not believe In the unlimited COIN
age Of gold and silver at the ratio OF
l6 to when their market value is about
32 to 1. / do not believe that the un-
limited coinage Of both metals will
double the market value of silver so as
TO make l6 ounces of silver worth one
ounce OF gold. / do not believe the
government can make 16 ounces of sill
yer worth as much as 80 ounces of sill
yer. by simply saying so. any more
than II can make six inches as long as
one foot. by saying so.
II do not believe that the interests
OF good government can be promoted
by denouncing the course OF President
Cleveland and approving the course Of
Altgeld and Debs in relation to the Chi
cago riots. l believe that the princi-
Piles Of the Chicago platform. II made
the law Of the land. would give us an
unsound currency with all Its attend
ing evils and would be subversive
Of many Of the essential principles Of a
good and safe government. For the
first time in my life find that l can
not vote for the doctrines announced
in (so-called) democratic platform
without doing violence to my patriot
ism. / am led to believe that many
other lifelong democrats hold Views
similar to my own as above expressed,
and II occurs to me that all such per-
sons should get together and confer
upon the situation and take some steps
TO promote their own views and resist
the errors Of the Chicago platform by
some open, positive and manly action.
II write this to ask you to inform me
In confidence whether you are In favor
of conference of the sound money
democrats of Missouri to consult and
agree upon the best course for us to
pursue. Please answer soon and oblige
(Signed) -. McD. Trimble."
AT the mass meeting to be held next
week there will be speeches by promi-
nent democrats. Fred w. Lehman,
the st. Louis attorney, will probably
be one of the speakers. Mr.. Lehman
stumped the state for the democratic
party in the campaign four years ago.

Mr.. Hanna said he had been asked by
a reporter II he was willing to meet Mr..
Witt OF the Central Labor union, and
he had replied that he was willing to
do so. The question was asked be-
cause the Central Labor union had

at least that number are interested in tho

Ohio manufacturers of Youngstown Sat
urday night. The success OF the ANAL
gamated association In making the wage
settlement means. too. that the men en-
ployed In non-union mills viii get an ad-

ployers will sign agreements to pay them

tion Of the union as the men are contend
ing for at present. The conference was

New York. July 2s.-The World this

dispatch from Thomsonton. Ca. signed
Thomas l.. Watson: ITO the questions
asked me | reply as follows: l will
run the race 10 the end. l Will make
the fight even IL Sewall does not with
draw. My opinion of the Fffty-second
congress. which was arralgned in my
book, has undergone no change. l am
not "a political trader and will not re-
sign in Sewalls favor even II offered a
cabinet position.
Having answered your questions
please allow me to state briefly my rea-
son for the replies to the first and Sec
ond questions: Il allowed the use of my
name to save my party from extinc-
tion. In my opinion the continued ex-
istence OF the peoples party Is indis-
pensable TO the success of free silver.
For me to withdraw would be for me
to sign the death warrant of my party.
Ours Is the panty of free silver and we
maintained that principle while the
democratic party. in 1892 and 1893. was
making war upon It. We do not think
our party should now close up and quit
business simply because the democrats
have partially duplicated our sign
board. IL the democrats are so unrea-
sonable as to refuse us popullsts of
the South any recognition at all that
fact would show that the real purpose
of the apparent adoption of our prin-
ciples Is to kill our party and not to
enact those principles into law. IL
the democrats are sincere they Will not
try to put upon US such terms that
every man IN our party at the South
will feel insulted and humillated.
IF Mr.. Bryan did not want our sup
port, Senator Jones had no business at
ST. Louis at all. IL Mr. Bryan does
want our support. he ought to be WILL
Ing to adopt that policy which will
most certainly assure him that support,
and that policy Is TO accept as a run
ming mate a southern populist named
by the unanimous voice OF the popu-
list national convention. Our party
has gone to the extreme limit'of gcn-
erosity In the effont to procure a union
of the silver forces. We did not claim
first place on the national ticket. We
are content with the second"
