FURTHER EVIDENCE OF D1T-
PLICITY

PLICITY.
AS a further evidence of the atteun
10 bamboozle the Populists on thi
iowne matter, the following is take,
from the Sioux Falls Press, Pettigrew'
personal organ, of recent date:
Lincoln, Neb., July 24.-The
prospects for harmonious fusion
between the Democrats and Ponu-
lists Of Nebraska, Kansas. South
Dakota and other western states,
along lines agreeable to both, are
according to the leaders. showing
unquestioned improvement.
The tangled condition of affairs
succeeding the Kansas City con-
Vention, when the Democrats failed
20 nominate Towne and named
Stevenson, is gradually giving way
TO sentiment that too much atten-
tion has been paid to place and to
the detriment Of principle, and
western leaders in the ranks of
Democrats and Populists have con-
cluded that matters will adjust
themselves satisfactorily If only
~ ~ SPpOt luIlllI.
Recent advices from national
Democratic headquarters at Chica-
go are to the effect that Chairman
Jones and his advisers, who held
heretofore that it was necessary
for Towne to withdraw, have u
seled further and decided that
mayhap such an action would not
be advisable, after all.
There Is no gainsaying that the
Populists want some sort of repre-
s%entation on the ticket. They were
disappointed when Towne was not
named, and the means of placating
them are so simple that party lead
ers in the west argue that 1t would
be the veriest folly to refuse them
recognition. Vice Chairman Ed
misten of the Populist national
committee said at Lincoln today:
Mr.. Towne is still on the Popu-
list ticket, and l believe that it
will be good politics and good faith
toward the Populists of the west to
keep him there.
THE Populists are as enthusiast
tic for Bryan as the Democrats,
and they are entitled to some man
g of representation on the tick
et."
TRYING TO STEM THE TIDE.
The executive committee, of which
this man Edmisten is chairman, met il

Instead of doing so, however, the fol
notice was issued its eviden
purpose being to stave of action unit
the indignation of the Populists owe
their betrayal shall have died down
The notice is as follows:
Chicago, Aug. 10.-To the Mem
bers of the Peoples Party: The
executive committee of the Peo-
pies party takes this method of ex-
pressing to you its qualification on
account Of the absolute harmony
which exists between the allied
parties.
There is no discord anywhere. On
the contrary, a commendable spirit
of rivalry exists between the Dem
ocrats, Populists and Silver Repub-
licans as to who shall make the
best record in support of u unriv-
aled leader, William j. Bryan.
We have not felt authorized to
fill the vacancy or our ticket
caused by the declination OF Hon.
Charles A. Towne, and have called
the national committee to meet
in this city August 27, 1900.
We trust there may be a full at
tendance of the committee. Mean
while. rest assured that no discord
will grow out of the vice presiden-
tial situation. (Signed.)

Chairman.

These estimates may be too high or
too low. 1t is certain that the greater
mart of that vote was cast for McKin-
ley in 1896. 1t is equally certain that
If as large a percentage OF that vote
were to be polled for Bryan this year
as was polled for Mckinley four years
ago the former would carry most II not
all of the nine states.
The Democrats will not admit there
is any "if" about the matter. They
contend that the COMMUNICATIONS
are leaving Mckinley by thousands be-
cause they are alarmed by something
which is called imperialism, which
thew or their fathers left Germany to
get away from, and are going to sup
mort the man they defeated four years
ago, although his views on all ques-
tions are the same as they were tour
years ago.
II Is we'll known to the Greman-
Americans that the election Of Bryan
and a Democratic House Of Represen-
tatives would not meal the immediate
enactment of a law for the free COM
AGE of silver at the ratio Of l6 to j. The
senate would defeat such a law Those
voters are pretty generally OF the
oninion, however, that, to use the lam
image of Abram S. Hewitt, "the cleo
tion of Mr.. Bryan ever with a Republi-
can Senate in existence, would result
in widespread calamity and business
c~onyulsion. It's effect on business gen
orally would be hard to estimate, but
that its effect would be disastrous can
not be doubted"
The German-Americans are not
praying for calamities and business
commissions.
Nor are they so w-ought up over
ST., noriaIism, as the Tn nocrats pre-
tend they are. There was an election
last fall in Iowa. = tate In which
there are many G ln-Americans.
The Democrats had little to say about
free silver and much about imperial

DR. Arthur T. Hadley, the new presi-
dent of Yale university, is just back from
trip through the West where he went
to bring the alumni into closer touch
with Yale and to bring the university be
fore the schools of America. He was
bSnqueted and received with great en-
thusiasm by the alumni of Yale at every
city he stopped. At Denver In an ad-
dress he spoke briefly on TRUSTS" and
his remarks have been widely quoted.
Some of the papers have ridiculed the
position he took, while others praised
him. On this point New Haven Regis
ter reporter interviewed him on his re-
turn, as followe:
"Do you recommend ostraciam for the
leaders of trusts?" He answered:
"Only in exceptional cases when they
have been guilty OF gross violation of
the public interest"
"Do you regard ostr,ciom as cure
for the evils Of trusts ?"
"Only to the same extent to which is a
cure for about any other social or COM
mercIal evilP"
'Weuld you say, for instance, that o.
tracism to the dealers in liquor evilP"
III think that much more evil of every
Kind is controlled by ostracism than by
that have no aocial penalty be-
hind them"

The sentiment in this country in favor

the Beers has given this great lift. The
