The San Francisco Call. Newspaper, October 14, 1896, Page 2

2 THE SA FRANCISCO CALL, WED SDAY, necks were broken, were kicking furiously. Young Wiiley succeeded in pulling one animal off a lad’s chest, and then, not being able to find young Oyer, who was calling for help, he rushed up the em- bankment and ran for a mile and a half to a farmhouse and procured a lantern and ax. When he reachec the scene of the accident he was almost exhausted, but he had enough strength to summon the boys to help litt the heavy wagonette off from those under i1 $ H “It was an awfully dark night,” said he to-day. ““We could notsee our own horses at times, and the dust made it all the worse. We were about fifty yards behind the first wagonette with the girlsin it. I was on the second seat—the seat Frank Oyer rode on—but on the left side. We fell over to the right, the front wheels go- ing first. Everybody yelled as soon as we commenced to go. Justes soon as we hit that culvert | jumped. I would have done it before, but did uot have a chance, for not one of us had any idea of capsizing until we went over. As i was about clear of the rig I heard something snap and down we plunged again. I was thrown away out on the branches of tne trees, but still beld on to the canopy, because I did not know where I was. “When we struck bottom I was pinned under the canopy, but it did not take me long to get out. I could hear the boys veliing for help, especially Frank Oyer. seemed right near him, yet could not quite locate him. He called me by nume and implored me to help him, saying that he could not move. The horses were making such an awful noise kicking and strug- ng that I backed out of the wreck. I young Rich with a horse on top of 1 tried to get the animal off and v succeeded. This horse was dead, for it did not move after I rolled it off. 1 called to Oyer that I could uot find him, bnt that I knew where we were and I would run and get a lantern and an ax. “In the meantime one boy bad suc- ceeded in extricating himself, and know- g the other rig to be not far ahead he ran down the road and told its occupants what had happened. “When I was starting for the farmer’s bouse I met the ladies all coming back, but I did not stop running until I reached the rancher’s house. When I returned the boys had gotten young Oyer out from under the wagon and had him up on the road. There was so much confusion that no one seemed 0 know whether there were any more of the boys under the rig or not, so I got some of the boys and went down into the gulch and lifted the wagon over. Every horse but one was dead. I can’t say how the accident occurred, only that the road was too narrow along there and that 1t was awfully dark and dusty.” Mrs. Galfaner, who chaperoned the girls and was in the’ first vehicle, gave a very clear account of the awful state of affairs when she arrived at the scene of the acci- dent. “The girls were allZsinging,” said she, “and I noticed that the boys were very quiet, but attributed it to their being tired aiter their game. It was very dark in the canyon, but on the level the moon shone brilliantly. The road was dusty, but exceptionally so along the grade down the canyon. I wason the first seat with the driver, and I could not see the leaders for the dust. We drove very slowly all the way, and especially around this place. I noticed the gulch as we passed, and also noticed how extremely slow our driver passed the place. I heard the crash, but supposed tiat it was the boys catching branches as they passed and breaking them. I also heard them ell, but we did not stop until Young Hart came running up and said, ‘For God’s sake stop; we are all nearly aead.’ “We then stopped the team and all went back to the guich. On our way we met John Willey running down the road, but he wouid not stop. When we reached the guleh, which was about fiity yards from where we stopped our team, I could hear the boys calling for help, but it was so dark I could not see how the wagonette lay in the guleh. The boys told me Frank Oyer was under the wagon and horses, but that they could not find him in the darkness. They had very few malches, so Itook off one of my white skirtsand burned it. This served the purpose of a torch admirably, and with its light we could se: poor Frank Oyer pinned down under one wheel. A horse was very near him and kicking wildly, while one was on top of the lad. All this time he was call- ing for us to help him, and the younz boys were working manfully to reniove the obstructions, but to no avail. Oyer called to one of the boys say- ing, ‘I’ll die if you don’t help me.” That was enough, and with superhuman effort they succceded in extricating him, but when we got him to the top of the em- bankment he was dead. I believe he breathed just once after they brough? him up. Some of the girls had made a fire by this time, and everything was done 0 re- suscitate him, but all to no avail. “Several of the girls got down into that gulch to help, too, and acted nobly under the awiul excitement. The road was in- deed very narrow and very dusty, but I do not believe that it was carelessness at all on the driver's part, but that he could not see. Our team helped to raise the dust which settled over the Boyd vehicle.” Eddie Rich, the 15-year-old son of the Marshal of Pacific Grove, was one of the most seriously injured. He said: “When we went over 1 was on the front seat, next to Charles Little, the driver. I tried to jump, but could not. When westruck the bottom of that gulch I thought we had fallen nearly 100 feet. I thought that everybody was on me, except Mori, the Japanese, and I found he was under me. He toid me to get off, but there was a horse on top of me and I could not budge bim. 1 klcked and yelled and scratched, pinched and even hit the animal, put be would not stir. He was right on m chest, too, and the pain was intense. calted to Johnnie Willey, whom I could hear talking, to pull the thing off, and he finally succeeded in doing it. I then got up and we two released poor littie Mikie, the Jupanese. He had one leg wedged in between the brakerod and the wagon and the other on top of it. We had a hard time getting him out. “We three crawled out from under the wreck and I tried to help the other boys. We laid the Japanese on the ground and he moaned for quite awhile, but we wanted to get Over out. He was calling all the time. ‘Boys, I am in a box; help me, won't you?” Young Oyer stayed under that wagon for nearly an_hour be- fore we could get nim out, and when we did finally succeed ‘he lived only about three minutes. His neck was broken and a horse must have kicked him. I think he was smothered, too, by the dust kicked up by the horses. ““We wanted Mrs. Gallaner to let some of the girls get into our busbefore leaving Balinas, but she would not. We are glad of it now.” Mr. Goward, an elderly gentleman who was in the rig with the boys, says he was asleep when the wagon slipped down, but he soon woke up. “*How it was I was not killed I don’t know,” said he. “All the young boys worked like Trojans last night to help the injured, and the girls worked, too. When we got to Frank Oyer under the rig I think he was dead. I do not believe it was carelessness on the driver's part. noticed that he was careful before we got into the canyon.” Miss Hessel, one of the party, last night ‘was s0 excited over the affair that to-day her hair was perfectly white. She worked as hard as any of the boys during the ex- citement and on the way home this morn- ing at about 3 o’clock she was still very much excited. She is now confined to her bed with nervous prostration. Dr. J. P. E. Heintz was summoned to the scene of the accident at 10 o’clock last night. He made an examination of the boys as best he could and then the injured ones were brought to Monterey as quickly as possible, The funeral of Frank Oyer will be held to-morrow at 1 o’clock from the Episcopal church in Pacific Grove, The Coroner’s jury was in session since 8 o'clock this morning and did not arrive at a verdict until late to-night. They went over the road and viewed the scenes of the accident, and, after hearing the tes- timony of the witnesses, reached the fol- lowing verdict: “‘We will not censure the county and hereby exonerate Charles Little, the driver, from carelessness.” THIRTEEN TALKS DURING THE DAY Bryan Makes an Unlucky Numb:r of Speeches in Minnesota. During the Journey He Is Very Frequently Greeted With Cheers for McKinley., SINGS IN PRAISE OF TOWNE. In Return the St. Louis Bolter Shouts for the Chiczgo P.atform and the Nebreskan, DULUTH, MixN, Oct. 13.—Thirteen speeches and 200 miles of roundabout travel tnronghout Minnesota, with a little slice of Wisconsin included, was William J. Bryan’s campaigning record to-day. Eleven of the speeches were made in the journey between Minneapolis and Duluth, Anoka, Eik River, Big Lake, St. Cloud, Rices, Little Falls, Staples, Brainerd, Aitken, Cariton and West Superior were the places where the nominee’s special train stopped long enough to enable him to make addresses. -West Superior, Wis., with 10,000 and St. Cloud Minn,, with 5000 people, gave the largest audiences of the day excepting, of course, the figures of the Daluth reception. At a number of places along the line of the Northern Pacific Mr. Bryan found that many of his hearers wore the familiar yel- low slips of paper or ribbon containing the name of his Republican opponent. At Brainerd they were numerous enough to call forth a few comments by the nominee. Cheers for McKinley were heard at the stops; in fact the day began with them at Anoka, where Mr. Bryan de- livered his first speech. To-day’s trip was taken by the Demo- cratic candidate for the express purpose of aiding Representative Charles A. Towne in his fight for re-election to the Federal Legislature. Mr. Towne bolted the St. Louis platform and was renominated by the silver Republicans, the Populists and the Democrats. “The route lay through Mr. Towne’s Congressional District—the Sixth—and Mr. Bryan put in a good word for the Congressman at every opportunity, Mr. Towne, who accompanied him, re- sponding occasionally with eulogistic re- marks about the Chicago ticket and plat- form. Duluth is Mr. Towne’s home, and his local supporters, with several more from other parts of his district who came in on excursion trains, turned out to-night to do honor to the Nebraska man. A big crowd was at the Union Depot when the candi- date’s train arrived at7 o’clock, and hearty cheers followed Bryan and ‘Towne on their way through the streets to the St. Louis Hotel. Immediately after sapper Mr. Bryan started out to fulfill his Duluth contracts. Like the women of Minneapolis, the female supporters of Mr. Bryan in Duluth had arranged a meeting for their exclu- sive benefit. They said they wanted to hear the nominees at some place where men should not be admitted, and the local reception committee secured the Lyceum Theater for the purpose, so the 2500 or more ladies who squeezed themselves into the Lycedm to-night had Mr. Bryan all to themselves. A few newspaper workers of the male persuasion were admitted and assigned to places in the rear of the stage, while ladies stood on their writing-tables to more ef- fectually screen them from the audience in front. Incidentally Congressman Towne was admitted, because he had to introduce Mr. Bryan. A great waving of handkerchiefs and clapping of hanas and feminine attempts at a cheer took place when Mr. Towne had made the presenta- tion. Mr, Bryan talked about the Demo- cratic side of the money question, and re- ceived more applause when he concluded. Mrs. Bryan, wio was there with Mrs, Towne, divided interest with her husband, The second meeting was in the carshed of the local street railway company, a great structure capable of holding between 12,000 and 15,000 people. It was packed and jammed with male humanity when Mr, Bryan arrived there at 9:25. His re- ception was of the heartiest aud the cheer- ing on his appearance lasted several min- utes, L. C. Harris introduced Mr. Bryan, who spoke in part as follows: It gives me great pleasure to defend our cause anywhere, but it gives meespecial pleas- ure to defend that cause among people who, like the people of Minneapolis, heve laid aside differences in _minor questions and joined in a supreme effort to wrest this Goy- ernment from the handsof those who would make the people hewers of wood and haulers of water. [Applause.] Mr. Bryan spoke in complimentary terms to Charies A. Towne and John Lind and said that Mr. Towne could bet- ter afford to be defeated than the peopie could afford to allow his cause to suffer defeat. Continuing he said: I beg you to remember the responsibilities which rest upon you in an hour like this and leave no effort undone to give a majority in the House and a majority in the Senate, as well as & President, all in favor of free coinage at 16 to 1, without waiting for the aid or con- sent of any other nation on earth. [A voice, “AnG you won’t veto it, will you?’] Iwill not, but I went you to have two-thirds, if pos- sible, in both Houses, o that if any change should come to me and I should veto it, I want you to have enough to vpass it over my veto. [Cheers.] But, my friends, you need have no concern about my vetoing any meas- ure which is in harmony with the platform on which Istand. 1have been taught o believe that platforms are guides to those eiected, not merely the means by which one may be elected. You may rest assured thiat I believe in what is in that platform, and that no power on earth can prevent my carrying ou platform, so far as my ebility may go. [Cheers.] I desire to thank the laboring men of this city for having completea the equipment,so that I am now prepared to sign that bill when- ever it reaches me, without depending on anybody else for pen or inkstand or ink. The golden rn with the silver holder, the silver inkstand and the ink presented to-night shall be preserved, and if, by the suffrages of my counurymen, { am plsced in the highest offico within the gift of the people of all this world these things shall be used for the pu: for which they are intended, and Ishall be glsd when the aeed is done thatI am indebted, not to tre financiers, not to the trusts, not to corporations nor to syndicates, but to the laboring men for the equipment. [Cheers.} The remainder of Mr. Bryan’s speech was on lines taken by him in previous discourses on the money question. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan left here at 11 o'clock tonishl in a special train, accom- panied by D. J. Campau of Michigan, chairman of the Democratic National cam- fi:izn committee; ex-Congressman Justin ‘Whiting, candidate for Lieutenant- Governor of Michi n, and Mrs, Whiting ; ex-Congressman_Timothy B. Tarsney o Detroit; George William Moore of Detroit, and Jaufllg Hall, district nger agent of the Michigan Central road, who will bave charge of Mr. Bryan’s train throngh Michigan. To-morrow will be devoted to umpllsn- ing in Wisconsin and the northern penin- sula of Michiga ——— i Registration in Coolk County. CHIOAGO, 1L, Oct. 13.—This was the that | first day of registration in Cook County and returns received to-mighit indicate that tbe number of names put on the books is enormous. Chief Clerk Powell of tne election board said to-night that he believed to-day’s registration would reach 260,000. The number will not be known, however, until to-morrow. - et R TRESE ARE JONEY FIGURES. Tries to Make It appear That Bryan’s Chances Are Good. CHICAGO, ILL., Oct. 13.—Senator Jones, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, characterized the table of the probable electoral vote as’ given out last night by Senator Quay as a ‘“‘gigantic bluff.” The chairman pointed out that of all the States classed by Senator Quay as doubtful only Tennessee and Virginia have not complete fusion of Democrats, Populists and silver Republicans. He called attention to the Siate election in August in Tennessee, where a Judge of the Chancery Court of Appeals was elected, in which the Democratic majority was anuounced over 25,000, and added that an examination of the vote cast by the fusion parties in all the States classed as doubtful would show the impossibility of the Republicans carrying one of them. The Senator also stated tnat of the States classed for McKinley there was complete fusion of all the silver forces in the fol- lowing: Iilinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, North Da- kota, Ohio, West Virginia and Wisconsin. In thirty-two States altogcther complete fusion had been made of all the forces op- posed to the gold standard. Chairman Jones gave to the United As- sociated Presses the tollowing table, show- ing the votes of the respective candidates in the Electoral College: Doubt~ Bryao. | Tl Me- Kinley. sy1vanis. Rhode Island.. South Carolina. South Dakota 81 87 L S | 270 Senator Jones added that thousands of Democrats in Connecticut and New Jersey had ir*rmed him those States would cast their s for Bryan, while the Democrats of Tow. .ooked upen that State as safe for Bryan vy a large majority. It was” announeed at Democratic head- quarters to-day that tne postmaster of Chicago and other officials of the depart- ment had been notified that all mail ¢com- ing to Chicago and directed to National Democratic headquarters must be delivered at the Auditorium annex. The admission is also made that mail intended for the Palmer and Buckner headquartersin the Palmer House has been received at the Anditorium annex, opened and answered by the managers of the Bryan campaign. One of these letters, dated Millersburg, ind., and signed by William E. Donald: son, stated that he lived in a township which gave a Democratic majority of 175 and so far as he could learn he was the only goid Democrat in the township. He asked for sound money literature, and Secretary Walsh of the Natlonal Commit- tee sent him 2 lot of ‘free silver literature. E e Sens ¥ATHER NUGENT FOR BSILVER. Does Not Agree With Archbishop Ireland on the Chicago Platform. DES MOINES, Iowa, Oct. 13.—Rev. J. F. Nugent, pastor of the Cathdlic Church of the Visitation of this city, whose recent public address in favor of free silver and the Chicago platform has attracted wide attention in this city and elsewhere, to- night gave out an authorized interview in reply to the recent letter of Archbishop Ireland. Father Nugent is well known in this State, not only in church circles, but as a lecturer and platform orator. His address in support of Bryan and Sewall had con- siderable publicity given to itand he has since received more than 200 requests to make speeches, one of which came from New York and another trom Denver. Bourke Cockran devoted much of his time in his Des Moines address 1o answering Father Nugent. In the course of hisin- terview to-night Father Nugent said: Archbishop Ireland said nothing new on the financial question. He has played the same music that the advocates of gold have been pluying since the campaign opened, but on account of his exalted position it may be re- rded by some as an octave higher, yet it is recisely the same thing. Archbishop Ireland s without doubt an able and patriotic man, but there are on the other side men of undis- puted loyalty and petriotism, and men whom Arcnhl-ho)r Ireland will admit are far su- perior to him in economie learning. The Archbishop seems to forget that while we have a Federal constitution we Lave at the same time a dear and cherished doetrine known as State sovereignty. Local affairs in the platform mean those affairs which belong exclusively to the State, and if the State has not control over these affairs there can be no such thing as State sovercignty. The resolu- tion does not deny to the Federal Government any rights granted by the constitution, but simply declares that there are rights which be- long to the province of State legislation. We hold this resolution, therefore, to be absolutely soun« To the rich and powerful few it has u"l' been treason for the T 10 say that anything ails them. The best way, in my esti- mation, to prevent anarchy is to secure for the producer an equitable share of that which he produces. —_— 5 DO NOT EXPECT TO BE ELECTED. Generals Palmer and Buckner Striving for Party Principle. CINCINNATI, Omro, Oct. 13.—Generals Palmer and Buckner, candidates of the National Democratic party, arrived in Cincinnati early this morning and were driven to the Queen City Club, where they breakfasted. Mrs. Palmer is with them. Hon. J. W. Richards of the National Com- mittee; C.J. Donovan, General Palmer’s secrétary; Judge Wilson, Judge Buckner’s secretary, and F. A. Stowe are members of the party. To a reporter of the United Associated Presses both the disvinguished Democrats stated that they did not expect to be elected, but are simply striving to keep alive the principles of true Democracy. “We cannot give figures till after the elec- tion,” said General Buckner. ‘‘We are l'or&&ng against both Bryan and McKin- oy. B fi‘ho party left for the Bouth at 11:40 o’clock this morning. —_—— ACKNOWLEDGEY THE ERROR. Dugald Crawford Willing to Re-Employ Discharged Silverites, ST. LOUIS, Mo., Oct. 13.—An indigna- tion meeting called to express the senti- ment of people of all parties on the act of Dugald Crawiord, the merchant who dis- charged twelve of his employes for sup- porting free silver, filled the Oriental Thea- ter to-night to overflowing, Men of all parties participated and the desire to go on record was so great thatan overtlow meeting was held that filled Seventeenth street from curb to curb. Strong resolutions condemning Mr. Crawford were adopted. A proposition to boycott him met with hearty resposes, To- day a warrant was applied for charging Crawford with breach of a law which pro- vides a punisbment of tén years in the P;"“Bnflflry. The excitement grows with time. In the evening papers Mr. Crawford acknowledges his error, asks hisdischarged men to return to work and promises a half holiday on Novemoer 3. Tisaigee FUSION IN NORTH CAROLINA, Democrats Very Anwmiows to Combine With the Populists. RALEIGH, N. C., Oct. 13.—The Demo- cratic Central Committee was in session here until after 2 o'clock this morning. It reviewed the situation and decided that the Republicans would certainiy elect their State ticket unless a fusion of Demo- crats and Populists was effected. The committee therefore proposed to the Pop- ulists fusion on both the State and Con- gressional tickets. The proposition was sent to the Populist State chairman this morning. It is that Watson (D.) shall be the joint candidate for Governor; Guthrie (Pop.) for Lieutenant-Governor, with a pledge that the Democrats shall support nim for the United States Senate; Cyrus Thompson (Pop.) for Secretary of State; W. H. Worth (Pop.) for Treasurer, and W. A. Montgomery (Pop.) for Supreme Court Justice. The proposition as to Con- gressmen is that the Populists shall take the First, Third, Fourth and Seventh dis- tricts, The Populists’ State chairman has summoned his entire dtate Committee by telegraph to meet here Wednesday. e 2. 7, 9 “ Gold Standard Ticket.” INDIANAPOLIS, Ixp., Oct. 13.—The State Board of Election Commissioners acted further this afternoon on the peti- tion of the National Democracy for a place on the ballots under that name. It was unanimously decided to give the party a colurrn on the ballots under the head *'Gold Standard ticket.'” No protest was entered to this decision. ——— Eckeis Will Talk. WASHINGTON, D.

ONE ROBBER CONFESSES| Identity of thes Tw> Youths Who Looted a Bank and Left a Trai! of Blood. Now That the Truth Is Known the Surviving Bandit Is Not in Danger of Lynching. FAIRMOUNT, Mixw., Oct. 13.—The climax of the most sensational week in Southern Minnesota’'s history came this evening with the complete revelation of the identity of the two desperadoes who robbed the Sherburne Bank and killed three per- sons. Theone killed near Elmore was Jans Kellihan, a boyv of but 18 years, The man in jail here is Lu Kelliban, brother of the dead bandit buried yesterday in the pot- ter’s field at Sherburne. Lu Kelliban 1s 23 years old, and refused all day to tell who he is, but this evening weakened and told the whole story of the plan i0 rob banks at Heron Lake, St. James and Suerburne, the route of the flight, the division of the spoils and other incidents. & . The man in jail insists that his brother was the leader and’ did all the shooting. A tetegram from Rock Rapids saia the identification of the robbers is correct. Their parents is thera and admit that the boys are their sons. There is no danger of a lynching, although a large crowd is in the streets. —_——— WILL NOT WITHDRAW TROOPS. But Governor Mcintyre Musters Out New Companies Recently Formed at the Leadville Mines. LEADVILLE, Covo., Oct. 13.—Governor MclIntyre, commander-in-chief of the Na- tional Guards, is here looking over the camp. 7To-day he visited a number of the leading mines where soldiers are stationed. The Governor issued an order as com- mander-in-chief, which musters out the new companies which were recently formed, and which were composed of miners at Ibex and Emmett mines. “These companies were sworn :in by Adjutant-General Moses,” aaid the Gov- ernor, ‘‘without any authority and the action was irregular.’® As to his intention of withdrawing the troops, the Governor stated that no such action was intended and that the troops are to remain as long as is necessary, “When the State cannot. stand the ex- pense of sustaining law and order,” said he, “it has failed in its primary duty. The troops are here to protect life and property, no matter whose it may be, but they must not take any part in the con- troversy.” —— CONVENTION OF COMPOSITORS. Many Important Subjects Considered at the Second Session of the Typo- graphical Union. COLORADO SPRINGS, Corvo., Oct. 13,— The second day’s session of the Interna- tional Typogiaphical Union was inter- rupted by local entertainments and con- siderable business was transacted. A special committee was appointed to con- sider the question of shorter hours, the chairman of which is Delegate Caughlan of Boston. A special committee to consider the question of Government ownership of tele- graph lines was also appointed, with Smith of Washington as chairman, The convention adjourned during the morning out of respect to the memory of the father of Delegate Murphy of New York, The report of the committee on laws was read and nineteen of the propositions were adopted, only Nos. 12 and 15 being amended.

WATSON 15 NOT HAULED DOWN Populists Determine to Make the Race fer the Vice- Presidency. National Committeemen Meet and Issue an Explanatory - Manifesto. WILLING TO DIVIDE THE VOTES Warning to the Rank and File of the Party Not to Be Misled by So-Called Leaders. CHICAGQC, IrL., Oct.13.—An important meeting of the National Executive Com- mittee of the People’s party was held to- day at the Sherman House. The follow- ing members were present: Benator Marion Butler, chairman; J. R. Sove- reign, Arkansas; H. W. Reed, Georgia; George F. Washburne, Massachusetts; John W. Briedenthal, Kansas; A, C. Rankin, Indiana; J. A. Edgerton, Ne- praska; C. F. Taylor, Pennsylvania. The only absentee was John 8. Dore of Cali- fornia. The committee was in almost continu- ous secret session from morning until midnight. The preparation of an address to the voters of the party engaged most of the time. Fusion differences and the at- titude of certain members toward Watson formed a subject for protracted and lively debate. Mr. Reed came as the personal repre- sentative of Mr. Watson, having spent two days with him just before leaving the South, and his signature to tha address which explains and justities joint Watson and Bewall electoral tickets and appeals to Populists to support them at the polls is accepted as proof that peace has been restored over this dissension in the com- mittee. Senator Butler said that no action had beer taken by the committee relative to Mr. Watson, and none would be; that he would remain on the ticket. Another meeting will be beld to-morrow. Following is the address prepared by the committee: To the People’s Party Voters of the United States: Your Natioual Committee ‘indulges in the hope that the patriotic action of the People's party in National convention in subordinating the interests of party to the success of the vital issues involved in this campaign would be met by equelly unselfish devotion to & com- mon interest on the part of the Democratic party, and that all the {riends of silver could present a solid front against the minions of greed by supporting one ticket, the truly co- operative ticket, Bryan and Watson. But this hope being disappointing there were but two courses left, one of which must be adopted, First, to run a straight Bryan and Watson electoral ticket in every State, which, on ac- count of the failure of the Democratic party to support this ticket would have effected the same result in this campaign that would have followed the nomination of a straight Populist ticket at St. Louis, namely, the election of %Acrlt(’lnley and the triumph of the gold stan- ard. Itie true that the Democratic party would be responsible even to & greater extent than our- selyes for such & resuit, but to permit eyil to trivmph ou such grounds would convict us, as welg as them, of a lack of patriotism and a narrow partisanship that would deservedly forfeit to us the confidence of the American people. Remember that two wrongs never make & right. When our devotion to the welfare of the people falters because of any failure on the rt of the Democratic or any party, then in- g:ed will we have lowered our standard and proven ourselves false to our own teachings and repudiated our own motto of country first and men and parties second. The brave, enlightened voters who consti- tute the rank and file of the People’s party are incapable of such base betrayal of their country as would result from a division in the ranks of those opposing the machinations of the coufederated money power of the two con- tinents against the homes and liberties of the American a;eople and would repudiate any action on the part ot their leaders opposed to united effort at this time as they repudiated”| the old parties for treachery to their inter- ests. The other course left open to your commit- tee that was consistent with the action of the convention in nominating Mr. Bryan was to do everything in its power to unite the voters of the country against McKinley and to over- come the obstacles and embarrassments which, if the Democratic party had put the cause first and the party second, we would not have encountered. This could be accomplished only by arrang- 1ing for a division of the eiectoral vote in every State possible, securing so many electors for Bryan and Watson and conceding so many to Brfnn andSewall. Atthe opening of the cam paign this, under the circumstances, seemea the wisest course for your committee and it is clearer to-day than ever that it was the only safe and wise course 1f our votes were to be cast and made effective for the relief of an o ])nned and outraged people. Following this ine of policy your committee has arranged electoral tickets in three-fourths of the States and will do all in its power to make the same arrangement in all of the States. By periect- ing this arrangement and every sincere 6ppo- mnent of tne gold standard giving loyal support to these joint electoral tickets, the People's ruty ‘will not only secure in the Eiectoral Col- lege for Bryan and Watson several times as many votes as we could have possibly secured by making a straight fight, but we wili secure the defeat of McKinley and the gold standard, which should now be the greatest desire of € very citizen who believes in the principles of ¢rue Democracy. By this arrangement we can unite a large majority of the voters on our joint electoral tickets; therefore the only hope of the money wer and_trusts is to divide apa conguer. 'he Republican managers and their Demo- cratic allies realize this and are putting forth every effort to accomplish this end. They have their emissaries on hand everywhere, trying to preyent joint electoral tickets from being arrang ‘ailing In this they try to find Populists and silver Democrats who can be 1n- duced, on one pretext or another, to rebel against the joint electoral ticket. The danger lies in the possibility of a certain portion of the rank and file of the People’s party being misled by so-called leaders, who, for reasons best known to themselves, or for want of rea- son, are advising voters io rebel against the joint electoral tickets and put up separate electoral tickets or to withhold their support from the joint electoral tickets. Some of the Democrats of the revenue stripe who are not yet weaned from the flesh pots of Egyot, but are sticklers for regularity and are nominaily supporting Mr. Bryan whiie secretly and in every underhanded way are trying to accomplish his defeat, are advising against the joint electoral tickets, and failing in this then advise Democrats to scratc People’s party electors, and already a few so- called Populist leaders are advising the rank and file of our party tostrike back by refusing to support the Democratic leaders on the joint electoral tickets. This is a trap set by the gold- ‘bugs, who are rejolcing that a few honest men have fallen intoit. These reports to-day are the only ones that buoy up the hopes of the Republican managers, and the Democrats and Populists who are thus engaged are doing just what the gold men most desire. Therefore we appeal to every Populist who may have been misled by such mistaken or false pleas of pretended loyalty to the People’s party into refusing to support such joint elecs toral tickets to stop and consider the results of such conduct and refuse to be influenced by either misguided or corrupt men. The one and only hope of the Repunlican party to win in this’ campaign and fasten the go'd standard upon the country is the corrupt -use .of an unlimited suppiy of money for bribery, corruption and intimidation. The patriotic action of the People's party in form. ngand supporting these jointelectoral tickets has shattered that bope. Already they are alarmed at the impotency of a boodle cam- paign when all of the great moral forces of the people are solidly unitea in defense of Ameri. can institutious.” The revulson of the Ameri- can people against this boodls campaign dur- ing the last ten days has so united them that victory is now assured. The People’s party will be the party of the fature. The American people will recognize it as the agency that saved the day when their interests were at stake; the American people will rally around its banner as the party to contend against the enemy of good govern- ment in the future. Every man to his post and the victory is won, MARION BUTLER, Chairman. J. R. SOVEREIGN. B. W. REED. GEORGE F. WASHBURNE. JoHN W. BRIEDENTHAL. A. C. RANKIN. C. F. TAYLOR. J. A. EDGERTON, Secretary. ARRAIGNS THE RAINES LAW. Ex-Governor Flower of New York Addresses the National Association of Retail Liguor-Dealers. CLEVELAND, O=mro, Oct, 13.—The fourth annual convention of the Natiofal Association of Retail Liquor-dealers was opened in this city this afterncon. The report of the president, John Morrissey of Syracuse, N. Y., contained a review of the work of previous conventions and defined the objects of the association to be the mutual protection of the retail liquor- dealers in the pursuance of their legitis mate business. Ex-Governor Roswell P. Flower of New York addressed the convention at the afternoon s-ssion. He signed the liquor law of 1892, which he compared with the resent unsatisfactory Raines law as fol- ows: “The Raines law is an element of the archaic class of legislation which has created a host of anomalous laws with which the statutory records are burdened. 1t has failed to bring about the reforms which it was claimed would be effected, and instead of weeding out the less de- sirable class of saloons it has only sufficed to increase them. “It encouraged a class of persons who could not procure & license under the old law on account of their lack of character to .pfiiy for a liquor tax certificate under the Raines law. Many of these people conduct fake hotels or places of doubtfnl respectability, and have forced hundreds of the poorer but more respectable class of saloon-keepers ont of existence. I be- lheve in the widest personal liverty con- sistent with good government, and in ex- tending the constitutional rights of liberty of person aud goods to every per- son in so far as it does not prejudice the rights of others,” ——— SATOLLI GOES SIGHI-SEEING.
