The mail from Hawaii last night

Cruelty ignored Their Chairman
Who Denounces the Bad Faith
All For Love OF Bryan.

Greensboro, n. c.. Oct. 3d. (Special.)
A circular signed by G.. Ed. Kestler
was received by a Populist here to-day
accompanying batch of tickets with
only Populist electors. A Telegram
was received here tonight from Chair
man Manly conveying the news that
Aver had repudiated them as bogus.
The circular among other things
says: Save the State from cor
respondence of the Progressive
Farmer. To the people of North Caro-
lima: On next Tuesday you viii be
called upon to vote in the most i'm
portant election that ever confronted
the people of our State and nation. So
complicated is the situation that our
people are at a loss as to what would
be best for our party and our prin-
cfples. On State matters, all are agreed
chat above everything else the Demo
cratic party must be defeated.
''At our national convention, a ma
iority of the delegates, favored
straight Populist ticket, but Bryan
and Watson were nominated, and as
part we are i'm honor
bound to support them, all
though many do not like to
support a Democratic nominee. The
State Executive committee next effect
ed a further fusion by which Bryan
and Sewall get six electoral votes and
Bryan and Watson five This gives our
party a very slender thread to hang
upon, and thousands of our people viii
refuse to vote the ticket What can we
do? AFTER A WIDE CORRESPOND
ENCE WITH LEADING POPULISTS,
/ offer this plan: Let every Populist
who can consistently do so vote the
entire ticket, but those who refuse to
support the Democratic electors and
who will otherwise not vote at all, let
them vote for five Bryan and Watson
electors and the balance of the State
ticket. This means thousands who
would not vote will give five-elevenths
of a vote for bryan, and also save the
State from the Democrats. / appeal
to the Populists to use this last resort
and have such tickets at hand. 1t is
too late to begin missionary work, so
let every Populist who is opposed to
the combination know that the
viii be at each polling precinct.

Madison, Wis, Oct. 3o.--Mr Bryan's
speeches to-day were made at Green
bay, Depere, Kaul1auna, Appleton,
Neenah and Menasha, Oshkosh, Fond
Du Lac, Chester, Juneau, Watertown,
Jefferson, Fort, Atkinson, Janesyille,
Evansville and Madison. None of
them was of more than 30 minutes
duration except the addresses which
were made at night at Madison.
All except the Madison speech were
made from the rear platform of his
special car. This arrangement proved
of immense benefit to Mr.. Bryan ply
sically, saving him the wear and tear
of making his way back and forth
through immense crowds of people,
eager to press close to him and also
in saving time. From almost the be-
ginning of the days tour the train
ran ahead of time, bringing Mr.. Bry-
an into Madison in time to begin his
speech in advance of the hour sched-
uled for his appearance.
There was no semblance of disturb
ance at any place, till GAINESVILLE was
reached, though it was apparent from
the display of yellow badges in many
places that his audiences were not
entirely in sympathy with him. Still
there was respectful attention even
on the part of those who wore the
colors of the opposition and the silver
men were at all places demonstrative.
APPLETON, Wis, Oct. 30.-Not since he
left the Ohio river valley has Mr.. Bryan
encountered crowds so large. There
were a large number of white ribbons
worn by his hearers, but the majority
of the people addressed by him at the
first few stops this morning did not
hesitate to show their preference for
the yellow metal.
At Greenbay, Mr.. Bryan addressed
a crowd of several thousand persons.
There was not much enthusiasm at
the start but before the nominee had
concluded his speech, his audience was
applauding him literally. He spoke
from platform in Whitney Park, ex-
Gov. Peck introducing him. Mr.. Bryan
said in part;

JONES NAILS A LIE.

London, Oct. 30.-The correspondent
Of the Daily Chronicle, at Chicago,
cables from that city that in the
course of a long and frank conversa-
tion with Chairman Jones, of the Demo-
cratic National committee, the latter
admitted that the indications pointed
to Illinois going for Mckinley, but Mr..
Jones asserted that State is not essen
tial to Democratic success.
Chicago, Oct. 30.-Chairman Jones,
of the Democratic National committee,
was shown telegram to-day in which
he is quoted as having admitted the
defeat of Bryan in Illinois.
''There is no truth IN that state
ment, = said the Senator. 81 never said
that Bryan would not carry Illinois
What / did say is that Bryan could win
without carrying that State. We have
not given up hope of carrying Illinois
On the contrary we fully expect to
carry it.
