Omaha. Neb.. Aug. 1s.-Eugene v.
Debs has written under date OF Aug. 8
a letter to George p. Garrison OF Chad
ron. Neb.. setting forth his views on
silver and fusion between the demo-
Gratis and populists. Debs says:
Without the support of the popu-
lists the democratic party could not
win. Mr.. Sewall can well afford to step
aside to effect a union OF the two great
forces and insure the election OF the
peoples candidates. Such action on
the part of Sewall would make him a
far greater man than the vice presi-
dency. Failing to accord the peoples
party such recognition by giving them
a place on the national ticket there
will be dissatisfaction which may cul-
minute In open revolt especially In the
southern states where the populists
have suffered all sorts Of indlgnities at
the hands Of the bourbon democracy
and this may cost Bryan his election
and put Mckinley and goldbugism In
power. There Is a vast difference be-
tween Bryan and the democratic party.
II the latter's only ambition Is to swal-
low the peoples party so as to place
them In power and get possession Of
the Offices. their design will and should
be thwarted. I would rather see Nc
Kinley elected than have another dem
ocratic administration"

fact. II seems the mission OF Mr.. Sewall
in the campaign Is to act as q contradic-
ton to Mr.. Bryan and the Chicago plat
form. For instance, Mr.. Bryan said in
one Of his speeches the other day tina. IL
he should be elected. the people who
elected him would not be found asking ia
vors Of the government. We had not

Upper Red Hook. n. Y. Aug. H.
William ]. Bryan, for the first time
since Senator John NJ. Thurston. as ale
legged, declared that he CBryan) was In
the employ of mine owners. has made
an official denial. coupled with a chal-
lenge TO the national republican COM
mittee to come out in the open and ac-
cuse him or forever be silent. Mr.. Bry-
ans attention had been called to the
controversy between Thurston and
Stewart and he determined tonight to
settle the matter II possible. He there
fore demands an open charge. which
he says he will refute with the details
OF his private life and his financial
affairs or silence. He said tonight;
Il have already denied this charge
on several occasions. but the reitera-
ton OF Ii by Senator Thurston. dis
tlnguished resident of my own state.
justifies me in answering II again. I
have never at any time or under any
circumstances been In the employ OF
any mine owners. individually or col
lectively. directly or Indirectly. nor
have l ever been In the employ of or
paid by any bimetallic league associa-
ton. Aside from my editorial salary
OF about $3.50 per month, paid by the
.
amount derived from the legal profess
sion. my income since my retirement
from congress has been derived entire
ly from lectures before Chautauqua
lyceums and lecture bureaus which
have usually paid me fixed sum. and
from contributions made by the people
OF the localities where l have spoken.
In some instances I have received
nothing at all. In most cases / have
received more than enough to pay trav-
cling expenses. In only two instances.
! think. has my compensation exceeded
800 and in these instances II was about
5000 at one place and about $500 at the
other.
THE first platform on which ran
for congress- In 1890, before I was
known politically outside of my state.
contained a free coinage plank. and my
republican opponent that year was an
advocate OF free coinage. In the cam
paign Of 1892 I again ran on free
coinage platform. In 1894 I again ran
on free coinage platform. and my
opponent for the senate. Mr.. Thurston.
while oposing unlimited coinage at l6
to 1. insisted that he favored bimetal-
lism. wrote the free coinage plank on
which ran In 1880 and the free coin
forms In 1891. 1894 and 1895 and tried to
secure the adoption Of free coinage
planks In the state platform IN 1893 and
1898. only mention this to show that
my advocacy Of free silver is not Of re-
cent date.
Having made this answer 10 Mr..

lican national committee will say on

10 possible rooms In Wormley's. adjoin-

The executive committee Will listen to
no propositions looking to the withdrawal
OF Watson from the ticket Butler said
II Sewa.l had stood for what Bryan does
before the people, neither the holding Of
the populist organisation together nor
anything else would have prevented the
nomination of the whole democratic tick
ct by the popullsts. Sewall does not rep
resent the populists. he says. and under
no circumstances will they consent to
vote for him. He thinks that Watson
stands a better chance Of being the next
vice president than sewall.
Butler says he has been 10 busy with
affairs In his own state since the nation

respondence with members Of the notifi-
