Oa the other hand the pop ulist national convention cenferred upon its committee plenary power, with the intention of combining all the silver forces on the democratic ticket. This bas been done in Kan- sas, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois and Ohio, and the Bryan and Sewall ticket will get the full democratic and populist vote of those states. Surely, even Mr. Atkeson does not expect that in democratic etates Mr. Sewall’s party will consent to have his name withdrawn and tiat of an- other party’s candidate substituted In the republican free silver atates of the west only the Bryan and Sewall ticket is being supported in opposition to McKinley and the gold standard. Surely Mr. Atkeson, after a calm dispassionate review of the conditions above suggested, wil! use more discretion that to propel his cranium against a granite struc- ture.

Little Rock, Ark, Sept. 8—The Democracy of Arkansas yesterday achieved the greatest victory in the history of the State. Never before " verwhelming majority given aby ¢ srpatorial candidate that which was yesterday given General Dan W. Jones, and never} was sucha large vote polled in the} State. k | “it keeps growing,” said Chair-| man Armstrong of the Democratie} State committee to night, referring to the size of the Democratic major- | ity. Based on the gains reported) thus far the estimation to night is | that Jones, Democrat, ie ¢dected | governor by nearly 89,000 majority over his three opponents. The fig- ures are: Jones, 125,000; Remmel, | Republican, 36,000; Files, Populhst, | 8,000; Miller, Prohibitionist, 1,000. The greatest surprise is the light | Populist vote, especially in vew of the fact that the vote of the State shows an increase of 3 per ceut over two years ago. The Democratic managers account for the unprecedented gains ty the absorption of Populists and free sil- ver Republioans by the Democratic ticket. The greatest gains come from the white counties, in which no charges of fraud are made by the Republicans The next legislature, which elects a successor to James K. Jones as United States Senator, will consist of 118 Democrats, 8 Populists and 5 Republicans.

Chicago, Ill, Sept. 7.—Villiam Jennings Bryan, Democratic nom | nee for president, delivered a Labor | day address to 30,000 pele at | Sharpehooter’s park this aftenoon. “The Dignity of Labor,” wes Mr. Bryan's subject and he stuck tlosely to bis text, uo direct reference being | made to political questions. | Long betore 2:30 p.m, the hour | set for the arrival of Mr. Bryin, the park was filled with laboring men.

A committee of three, with Chairman Sam Cook at its head was authorized to make all necessary arrangements.
