Lincoln. Neb., May 1.-THE Omaha
world-Herald. edited by r. L. Metcalf,
the closest political friend w. J. Bryan
has in the West to-day. published a
three-column editorial serving notice
that II the reorganizers In the Demo-
cratic party obtain control. the Bryan
wing will support Roosevelt for Presi-
dent in the next compaign.
II confesses that ex-President Harri-
son was a great and pure man, that the
first. that he was defeated by corpora
tions and that the same influences are
now undermining Roosevelt and trying
to elevate Grover Cleveland.
The same paper will publish to-mor-
row morning a letter sent by Metcalf
to Norman Il. Mack. editor of the Buff
falo Times. and New York's member of
the Democratic national committee.
which is regarded as Bryan's ulti-
matum for peace or war with Cleveland
or the eastern forces of the Democratic
party. The letter is believed to be des-
tined to become the gauge of battle
between the Bryan supporter and those
of Grover Cleveland. or to bring peace
between these forces.
1t is anticipated that Mack will not
reply to the letter without consultation
with the Cleveland leaders and that his
reply will be taken by Bryan as the ul-
timatum of the followers of the former
President, just as this letter is unques-
tionably the ultimatum of Bryan de-

Denver. May 1.-THE executive COM
mittee of the unions yesterday issued
the following answer to the statement
issued by the Citizens Alliance in ex-
PLANTATION of its position respecting pre-
yious efforts at arbitration:
To the Public-Replying TO the state
ment in this mornings papers. signed
by Mr.. ]. c. Craig. president OF the
Citizens Alliance. In which he says
"In refusing to treat with the employ
ers when associated together as an or
ganized alliance. or union, organized
labor turns Its back upon Its cardinal
principle. Organized labor will not rec
ognize or treat with organized repre-
sentat.ves of employers" we wish to
say:
The general executive committee OF
organized labor desires TO say that the
above statement is absolutely false. and
no one knows this better than Mr.
Craig. Organized labor has at all
times been ready and willing to deal
and treat with organized employers.
and prefers so doing. We only ask that
the right to organize be conceded. and
where other differences exist that the
employers organization concerned in
that line of business and the employees
union shall be the ones to select the
arbitrators. For Illustration. we believe
that the Grocers' Association and the
Grocery Clerks Union are the ones
who know best what their differences
are. what the conditions are which en-
ter into this trade. and they are the on
ly competent ones to choose arbitrators
of such differences. The same applies
to all other organizations OF employers
or employees in any trade or calling
Time and experience have demonstrat-
ed that this plan of arbitration will
produce the most beneficial and har-
monious results to all concerned

that this work will always be peace

If we do these things. we can count
