About 1t.
Duluth, Mimi. Aug. s.-Former Con-
gresham Charles a. Towne, who was
nominated for wee president at the
populist national convention at Sioux
Falls, has sent letter to the committee
Of notification in which he says:
After mature consideration of all the
factors involved that concern the well
fare of the cause of political reform in
this country and my own duty thereto,
4 am constrained to inform you i'll all
respect that l must decline the nomina
convention. To my mind the action of
the Sioux Falls convention i'll nominate
ing for president representative of the
democratic party and for vice president
a re- prese ntat;Ye of the silver republican
party s one of the most encouraging
and inspiring spectaclea in recent poll
ties. 1ts unselfishness and maagnanini-
sty. its testimony 10 the precedence of
the cause Of the people over any merely
partisan advantages, raised the proce-
ldure of mere convention into the serene
upper air Of true civic heroism. From
such a spirit az this what service, what
sacrifice can be asked in the name of
the republic?
