The populist convention at St. Louis

and nominated Thos. Watson Of
Georgia for vice-president. We ex-

peoples party was the only party
that supported solidly and unitedly the
great and vital issue represented in
the candidacy of Mr.. Bryan. That was
natural, for the peoples party came into ex-
1stence to bring to the front and to press to
victory the principles of Lincoln. and JeTer-
son, already long discarded by the two old
sure of its control and domination of the
leaders and the controlling influences in the
republican party, in 1892 gave its support
to the candidacy of Grover Cleveland, for the
especial purpose Of having him, through the
use OF patronage and otherwise, crush out the
silver sentiment in the South, and make the
leaders in that party as completely subservi-
ent as those in the republican party. To ac-
complish this purpose, four cabinet ministers
were selected from the South, and an unusu-
ally large amount of patronage used on po-
lit1cal leaders to the same end.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Cleveland
demanded that the democratic senator's and
congressman give a decisive vote in the in
terests of the gold standard before he would
even give out the postofices. This deep-laid
plan might have succeeded had not the peo-
istence, exposed the plot, stood in the breach,
and appealed to the patriotic hosts of both
parties to check the scheme of the peoples
despoilers, and rally to the common defense.
Thus the peoples party forced the democratic
organization to Iepudiate Clevelandism and
return to correct fundamental principles.
Not only this, the peoples party then forced
straddling for the purpose of deceiving the
people, and drove them to take a stand on
one side or the ether of the vital issues at
stake.
This issue now being squarely joined, 1t was
evident that those influences in the democratic

was supposed to be the queens choice.
The election of Mr.. Poynter, however,

their vote for financial reform and American
independence. The peoples party, with a
high patriotism and an unselfsh devotion to
principle, greater than ever before exhibited
by any other party, stepped outside Of its
organization to throw it's 1000, 900 votes solidly
for Bryan. Had not more than this number
of those who called themselves democrats in
1894 given their support to Mr.. Mckinley,
the cause of the people and American prin-
ciples would have triumphed this year. This
class of democrats will surely support the
party of monopolies and trusts in the future.
Their places in the ranks Of the reform
hosts must be taken by patriotic republi-
cans. In fact, Bryan would have been elect
ed in this contest had even q, 900 more silver
republicans come to the rescue.
The election Of Mckinley and the triumph
Of the gold standard does not express the
desires and sentiments of the people. The ma
iority oppose the policy for which he stands,

presented for a proper alignment
The remarkable and brilliant campaign OF
William J. Bryan would have aligned these
forces and marched them to q triumphant
victory If any candidate or leader IN America
could have done SO under the democratic
banner.
The administration of Mckinley cannot
bring prosperity to the American people. The
mills cannot be kept open, idle labor given
employment and general prosperity restored
and maintained until the wealth producers
receive fair returns for their labor and thus
are enabled to purchase. The gold standard
and monopoly rule, to a continuation of which
Mr.. Mckinley stands pledged means 4 more
years Of falling prices; four more years of
lockouts and strikes; four more years of re-
duced wages and idle labor. This will cause
the patriotic rank and file of the republican
party to condemn and ~repudiate McKinleyism
as the patriotic rank and file of the
democratic party has condemned and re-
pudiated Clevelandism.

less confidence in the patriotism of this class
Of republicans than the rank and file Of the

THOMAS UNDER BONDS.
One of the Alleged FOrgers Captured
I'm New York.

NEW YORK, Nov. flames Thompson,
alias D.. W. Snyder, alias Otto V. Thomas
(which last is said to be his real name), was
arraigned in court on a warrant issued in
Lansing, Mich, charging him with forgery.
Thompson has been in the custody of the
police for several days. At the time of his
arrest it was said that he was one Of a gang
of forgers who have been operating through
out the United States. The warrant from
Lansing, Mich, on which Thompson was
arraigned, set forth that he had committed
forgery on Oct. Z, 1896. and had uttered a
draft upon the Third National Bank Of
Buffalo, N. Y, to which, as alleged, he had
signed the name w. D. Snyder. Thomas, in
the guise of a commercial traveller, presented
the draft to P. Downey, of the firm of H. f.
Downey & Sons, Lansing, Mich, and saked
him to cash it. He showed a letter purport-
ing to be from his employers, rebuking him
for his lavish expenditures, but compliment
ing him on the volume Of business he sent in.
Downey cashed the draft. Implicated with
Thomas, or whatever his real name may be,
are Walter r. Peters, a photographer in Chi
cago, and Willis Herbert Conner. Peters
was arrested in Chicago yesterday, and Con-
ner was arrested in Flint, Mich. The Judge
on the presentation Of the case against Thorn
as. held him in $500 for extradftion by the
Michigan authorities.

FRANKFORT, KY, Nov. Tt is stated on
the authority of Republican leaders in this
state that Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner, the
sound money Democratic nominee for vice
president, will be strongly recommended to
President-elect Mckinley for one of the for

The leading Republicans in this state say
the sound money Democrats should be paid
some sort of compliment, and that no better
recognition could be paid their services than
in the appointment of Gen. Buckner. His
claims will also be pushed by many infuen-
tial sound money men.
Gen. Buckner is here tonight, but in re-

CLEVER CHECK WORKER.
Man Wanted for Fifteen Forgeries
Arrested in Boston.

BOSTON, Nov. z.-Eugene H. Parker, alias
Carter, alias Proctor, ais Allen. Of Troy, N.
Y, was arrested here today. He Is a clever
check forger and is wanted in Pittsburg,
Chicago and Albany for forgery and passing
forged checks. For several years Parker has
visited clothing houses in this city, and, af-
ter purchasing a supply of clothing, paid for
them with a forged check, In most instances
drawn on the Blackstone National bank, of
this city, and signed by Eaton & Eustis,
large produce merchants of this city. In 1888
Parker was a conductor on the old Highland
street railroad, and his first known trausac-
ton here occurred on Jan. 8, 1890, when he
passed a forged check for 500 in payment for
a diamond ring. He then slipped to Albany,
N. Y, where he was arrested for a similar
offense and was sentenced to five years in
Dannemora prison.
The police have fully fifteen cases against
him in this city alone, the last one being
last night, when he purchased some clothing
on Hanover street, and presented a worthless
check in payment. His arrest followed. Par
ker admitted all the forgeries committed in
this city.

the Eastern bimetallists: I'm the hour of

praise can sufficiently commend you. When
l remember that the Eastern states sent

roes,, and events will vindicate the position
you have taken. Continue the fight"
Mr.. Bryan Is receiving numerous kilograms
and letters Of response to his address, calling
upon the advocates of silver to continue their
efforts in that behalf, assuring his of con-
currence in this view and of cooperation in
the work. Many Of the messages are from
club organizations. He has set the oath inst.
