for party leaders to appeal to passion
when the people are alive to their own

selves and form a class of your own:
your interests are opposed to those who
employ you. The poor man inquiries,

DIR. TALMAGE ON THE CAMPAIGN
Never Saw So Many Literally Starry
ing to Death.

Washington, Sept. 27.-Rev. T. Dewitt
Talmage, in his sermon at the First
Presbyterian church today, made the fol-
lowing alluson to the presidential cam
paign:
During the last six presidential cleo
tions l have been urged to enter the po-
litical arena, but l never have and never
will turn the pulpit in which l preach
into political stump. Every minister
must do as he feels called on to do, and
will not criticise him in doing what he
considers his duty; but all the political
harangues from the pulpits from now
until the Sd of November will not, in all
the United States, change one vote, but
will leave many ears stopped against
anything that such clergymen may utter
the rest of their lives"
This statement was followed by ref
eI ence to the depression now prevailing
throughout the country, and he said that
never within his mem Dry had 80 many
people literally st9ryed to death as in the
past few months" He believed the coun-
try was better off after every crisis, and
that the Almighty would settle the CON
troversy between the metals.

TOM WATSON SOUNDS A WARNING
Says 1t Means Defeat If SewaII Re-
mains ON the Ticket.

New York Sept 27.-Thomas Watson,
the populist candidate for vice president,
telegraphs to the World a review OF the
political situation, III wnIcn, IN conclusion,
he says:
Under present conditions Mr.. Bryan
can not get the Iuu populist vote. lie
can not get it in Kansas or Colorado
He can not get it in North Carolina or
in Nebraska. In the friendliest spirit
give Chairman Jones warning. He VIII
make the blunder of his life If he listens
to the fusion leaders, and believes tull
populist vote can be had for Bryan WIN
Sewau on the ticket. Populist voters
are men who have educated themselves
on political topics. They will not stultify
themselves by voting against their convlc-
tions They will not vote for man VINO,
if Mr.. Bryan dies, will make us another
president after the fashion OF Grover
Cleveland. They may not be able to break
up the fusion DEAL but they can stay at
home.
1.-THE contract made at St. Louis for a
united democra tic-populist ticket shouio
be carried out in good faith. The oehio-
cratic managers should not expect TO
hold us to it when they ignore it them
selves. If Mckinley is elected the respon-
sibility will forever rest upon these man
ayers who have it in their power to con-
troll by fair means two million votes and
have lost them by violating the terms
of the compact.
1.-THE writer of this has stood loyalty
by Mr. Bryan throughout the campaign
and will continue to do so, and in his
sincere desire to see him elected points
out the weak place in our lines in time
70: it to be Strengthened Chairman Jones
can do it, and should, for Mr.. Bryan
sake, lose no time in doing it.
81 respectfully warn Mr.. Chairman
jones of the danger Mr.. Bryan is In. Tine
pcpulist voters are dissatisfied and sus-
picious. They feel instinctively that the
fusion policy which compels them &c
vote for Sewall is the beginning of the
end of the populist party. They feel thai
the principles they love are being used as
political merchandise, and that the pop
| ulist vote is being auctioned off to the
highest bidder. They suspect that the
populist vote was bought and paid for
and is now being delivered to those who
| bought it,"
