directing executive committee
of the Peoples party takes this method
of expressing to you its qualification on
account OF the absolute harmony which

is no d1sc0rd anywhere. On the contrary
a commendable spirit OF rivalry exists
between the Democrats, Popunsts and

the best record in support of our I'M
rivalled leader, William j. Bryan.
1--WE have not felt authorized to ill the
vacancy on our ticket occasioned by the
declination Of the Hon. Charles A. Towne

to meet in this city August 27, 1900.

ance of the committee. Meanwhile, rest
assured that no discord will grow out OF
the vice presidential situation.
