A North Carolina Man Appointed IN the

Mckinley has appointed Daniel A.
Tompkins, of Charlotte, N. c., as a
member of the Industrial Commits
sion, to succeed E. A. Smythe, e
signed. The appointment is to take
effect September 1st. Mr.. Tomp-
kins, like Mr.. Smythe, is a we'll
known cotton mill man of the South.
He has long been identified with
cotton mill interests in and near
Charlotte. Politically he has been a
good Democrat and is thought to be-
long to that wing of the party that
did not support Bryan four years
ago. He is interested in a leading
daily paper, the Charlotte Observer,
which recently refused to support
Bryan, but which supported him in
1896. The salary of the place is
SIS, 900 per year.

DULUTH, MINI, Aug. 7.ACharles
A. Towne, who was nominated by the
Populists at the Sioux Falls conven-
ton for ice-President, has officially
declined the honor, and announces
his support of Bryan and Stevenson.
In doing SO, he recites events lead
ing up to it, and says:
Everybody knows either Stew
enson or Roosevelt is to be the next
Vice residentNof the United States.
I am expected to take a laboriOus
part in the campaign. l shall, of
course, advocate the election of
Bryan and Stevenson.
Consistency and candor in politics
therefore, my own ~self-respect, a
proper defence to the Peoples party
and a sincere regard for the welfare
of the cause of political reform in the
United States all counsel that I now
respectfully replacein your hands the
honorable trust which your great
party committed to me in contem-
plation of a different state of affairs
than that which resulted.
"In conclusion, Imay be permitted
to express the profound satisfaction
which I feel in contemplating the
present attitude of the Democratic
party. In 1895 1 was one of those
who keenly feeling the recreahcy of
the Republican party, we're much in
doubt whether the Democratic con
vention at Chicago, in adopting it's
splendid platform and nominating
William j. Bryan for the Presidency,
was actuated by an impulse or by a
purpose. The magnificent achieve
ments at Kansas City have settled all
possible doubt on that subject. The
platform adopted not only ~re-enacts
the principles of 1895, but in Ian
guage whose force, dignity and beau
ty have never been equaledin a SINH
lar document, responds to the issues
presented in the growth of the trust
monopoly and the imperialistic pol
icy Of the administration by an ap-
propriate enumeration of those sub
lime doctrines of human rights and
liberties whose possession and OBJ
servance have been the peculiar
blessing of country and r the
sure basis of the ultimate happiness
of mankind. And again, the duty Of
carrying the banner of the cause has
been committed to that tried and
trusted hand whose grasp has never
weakened, which no fear can make
to falter and no burden car dismay.
The leadership of Bryan, which
could have redeemeda bad platform,
sanct1fed a good one. It made mem
orable an unsuccessful contest. It
will crown a victory with imperish-
able splendor.
"With every sentiment of respect
and gratitude, / remain,
''Most sincerely yours,
CHARLES A. TOWNE."

BRYAN ON TONNES WITHDRAWAL

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Aug. RE
garding the withdrawal of Charles.
A. Towne from the PopuIist national
ticket, w. j. Bryan said today:
"Mr. Towne's letter is manly and
patriotic, but it is nothing less than
was expected by those who knew
him best"
Other Democratic leaders expressed
themselves in similar strains. None
of them had anticipated any other
course course, but there was a gen
eral impression of relief from com
p1ication like that of four years ago,
when Seawe1l and Watson were both
candidates for Vice-President.
It was the general opinion that the
withdrawal will not ALLEVIATE many
Poplists and that it will increase the
chances of Democratic success at
the polls.
