MR.. BRYAN INDICATED.

Prof. L. G. Bateman. the late candidate
OF the PopuliSts of Maine for Governor,
has entirely overshot the mark in his ar
raignment of Mr.. Bryan, whom he accuses
of bribery and forgery. Mr.. Allen, of Ne
fraska, made statement in the United
States Senate on Wednesday, in which he
emphatically denied Prof. Bateman's as
sertion that Mr.. Bryan's gift of 81, 500 to
the Populist national committee was with
the understanding that no action against
fusion should be taken by the Populist
national convention
He said that Mr.. Bryan had determined
to divide the royalties on his book, and
in doing so had allotted $1,000 to the
Populst party. The draft was sent to
Senator Allen, but Senator Butler, of
North Carolina, chairman of the Populist
national committee, declined to accept it,
thereupon,at the suggestion..of Mr.. Bryan,
Mr.. Allen invested the amount to be
used III the interest of bmetallism. He
declared that the statement that any
agreement existed as to fusion in connec.
tcn with the gift was an absolute and
unqualified falsehcod
There had never been, he said, an at
tempt to fuse the parties, either nation
ally or locally. Mr.. Allen also specif-
cally denied the statement that Mr.. Bryan
had forged his (Allen's) name to the list
appended to the letter notifying him of
his nomination for the Presidency, and
closed with high tribute to Mr. Bryan
and in severe arraignment of Mr.. Bate.

Japan will be fully respected in any ac-

y In selecting General John B. Gordon,
of Georgia, commander, the Confederate
Veterans at the Nashville reunion not
only voiced the general wish of the camps
there represented, but of every man and
woman of the South acquainted with the
record of that distinguished soldier and
statesman. lis address at the reunion
was masterpiece of eloquence and pa
triotism, and must have convinced the
most skeptical Northerner that if the
Union is ever assailed in the lifetime of
the -Confederates they will be found
battling as bravely in it's defense as any
other class of citizens of thoroughly
united country. General Gordon as COM
lnander of the United Confederate Vet
Grams is certainly the right man in the
right place.
