HAS NOT

Bryan has not as yet acknowledged
having received the pOpuliSt nominal
ton for president. Why have you not
made this acknowledgements. Mr.. Bry-
an? Are you ashamed to do it? What
is there about the Populist nomination
you are ashamed of? If you are not
ashamed of it why have you failed to
accept?
Is it because you are afraid that if
tou acknowledge the populist nOmina-
lion you will ALLEVIATE Tammany Hall
and other eastern Democrats?
Out here in Nebraska you profess to
believe in POpulism. But your refusal
to utter a letter accepting the Populist
nomination would indicate duplicity.
The POpulists nominated you three
months ago. at the same time the Dem
ocrats nominated you. You acknOwl-
edged the Democratic nomination by
letter long since, but your letter accent

vest is nearing completion in the Cen
tral valleys, where the crop has suf-
fered to some extent from rains. Hay
ing has been interrupted and the crop

A Journal representative, today. call
ed on Edgar Thompson. brother of AL

Prince, Monday. Mr.. Thompson was
found at his fine farm of about 80
acres in West Auburn. where he has
a nice set Of buildings and carries on
quite j business as 4 horse man. haV-
ing valuable brood mare and several
handsome colts.
He was perfectly willing to talk ana

a letter from the American con

the latest word from him. and which
said that there was no doubt that

bert Th"mps n also tells of Prince hay
ing malaiial fever. becoming despond-
ent ana shooting himself.
Edgar Thompson also stated that on
receipt of the first letter announcing
Princes death. he not only read it in
public. but at once took it Il Prince :
father and communicated all the news
therein, holding back nothing.
Mir Prince. Senior. was again seen by
the Journal man. and. while admitting
that The story as published was just

He has the letter from tine American

stated that his son Alvah was murder
ed. Another letter, dated June "A. says
that these is doubt about the cause

reply with fun particulars is daily ex-
pgcted.
Mr.. Prince now has the first letter
received by Edgar Thompson from Al
bort ana examination shows that there
was really nothing Ia hold back. it be-
ing very snort ana on only one page.
There is any quantity If gossip and
rumnrs atloat in the ncighborhood
where. naturally much interest is
taken in the matter but il Will proba-
bly, All be Strengthened out by the next
letter from the consul.
Varying opinions Us to the amount
Of money Alvdh Prince had with him
are expressed. The Journal man was
assured with equal postivencss that
Alvah had $40: that he drew $500 from
the bank; and that he didn't have over
Sl5.
Lawyer Carver Of Auburn, also says
that h. was not interviewed about the
letter, but that it was his partner.
Thus the matter rests. with the lat
