Bryan's gift Of $500 To the Populistic
National committee was ma de with the
distinct understanding that no action
against fusion should be taken by the
Popullst National Convention.
Mr.. Allen made sweeping denial. He
said Mr. Bryan had determined to divide
the royalties on his book. and In doing SO
ne allotted $500 to the Populistic party.
The draft was sent to Mr.. Allen, but the
chairman of the Populistic National Com
mittee, Senator Butter or North Carolina
declined to accept it, Thereupon, at the
suggestion of Mr. Bryan, Mr. Allen re-
quested the money 20 be used in the inter
est OF bimetallism. Mr.. Allen declared
that the statement that any agreement
existed as to fusion in connection with
the gift was false. There had never, he
declared, been an attempt Co fuse tho party
either nationally or locally. Mr.. Allen
