appropriate notices. The speaker on
this occasion was Hon. G. A. Atkinson
of Lincoln, and for over two hours he
spoke on the issues before Our people,
and successfully exposed the fallacy
of the fiat and other unsound money
schemes. By means of charts he en-
abled all to understand clearly what

the Mckinley tariff and how much it
had fallen off since the repeal of that
law. Mr.. Atkinson made a stirring
appeal for the voters to uphold the
honesty and integrity of their coun-
try when election comes. The Re-
publicans are more than delighted
with the clear and fOrcible argu-
ments produced by MI. Atkinson,

For Bland md Butler Ticket and Cabinet
SpoiIs Divided in Advance.

ASHLAND. Wis, Juno 2S.--W. II. {" Coin W
Harvey, In an interview hero to-day. said: My
plan is to combine the silver forces OF the United
States. am trying to combine the Democrats,
silver Republicans. and Popullsts, and have
suggested the following plan to tho leaders OF
the parties: For President on the Democratic
ticket, Bland OF Missouri.
"If elected give him the appointment Of one
Cabinet officer only, Secretary of State. Let
the Democrats endorse the Populist nominee for
Vice. President on tho Populst ticket, Senator
Marion Butler of North Carolina. Let the Pop
ulsts endorse tho Democratic nominee for
President.
Let Mr.. Butler II elected. dictate the np-
pointment OF Secretary OF the Interior. Secre-
tary OF Agriculture, Secretary of War, and Sec

puplcans three Cabinet places Senator Teller

" They cannot win rs Democrats. but as COM
can. am in favor OF Bland for President be-
cause ms name Is platform IN ITSELF just as
McKinley's name is n whole platform.
The intention of our forefathers in establish
ing our electoral system was That the, electors
should be elected as they are now. and that they
should then meet. and. after discussion. vote for
whom they wished. There is no law compelling
an eiector to vote for any man.
1t Is simply custom. Republican electors
vote for the man at the head of the ticket and
the Democrats do the same. Now 1
want to tell you that II the Democrats
Popuists. and free--ilver Republican do
not get together as | have indicated
they will ultimately combine in the electoral
college. For instance, II straight Democratic
electors are elected In the south. silver Reuub-
lican electors in Colorado and Nevada, and Pop
