He failed to see that the sentiment of the country through which he had passed had changed, but was inclined to think that the money which the Republicans were pat-’ •ting into the campaign Would have iis effect. He did not mean by this that the voters would be bought, but that the Republicans would get their Uterature more largely 'circulated, would have more speakers ■ and would have more and better in lormcd men at many places who Ui would be able to defeat the Demo ■ ’ crats in argument. He noticed at tbe stations and other-places where there - fiv-‘ were groups of men arguing the silver 5 ■ question, that it was a general thing the Republican was better informed and could array »his argument with ' . more effect, and when he got the bet ter of his Democratic antagonist he was likely to carry the crowd with him.

PJro mumbora of tho executin' eommittoo aro hare, tho others hewing sent letters of exensB It was decided even before tho execu tive eommittoo met that the national headquarters should be bora and it la Jirobable that rooms in Wormlcy s ad oining the Democratic subheadquar tors will be secured. ■ One of the matters which may be brought up Is tho vied presidency, though It Is known that tho executive committee will listen - to no proposi tion looking to the withdrawal of Watson from the ticket Senator But lor said that If Bewail had stood for what Bryan did before the' people, nOither the holding of the Populist party organisation together nor any thing else would have prevented the nominstion of the whole Democratic ticket by the Populists. As it was. Bewail did not represent the Populists and under no elreumstaneen would they consent to vote for him. He thought that Watson stood a better ehance of being the next vlee presi dent than bewail. Another matter to be settled is the notification of Watson Mr. Bailor Is chairman of the notification commit tee. He says that nothing definite has been arranged ns yet Ur saye ba hae been so busy with affairs in his own C State since the national convention adjonrned that he hed little corre spondence With members of the noti fication committee. The situation in North Carolina was the sub}eot of several confrrencos after the arrival of Chairman Butler. One of the Democratic leaders' spoke very positively pbeut the matter. Uo Bald that If Mr. Butler thought ho had the Democrats in a tight place and could drive a bard bargain with them he would find they would not stand on it and wonld make a straight fight. They did not propose .to be bulldozed Into frtvfog up any thing. The conference between Senators Jones and Butler was not very, fruit ful as no conclusions were reached upon the subjeots under discussion. The Democrats are not satisfied with the fusion propositions in several Southern states and, on the other hand, the Populists do not like the' offers which have been Bide to them. , in some of the Western states It is pot likely any definite conclusion will be reached until after the return of Beuator Jones from Cbioaga After this the Populist executive, committee went Into session. The meeting wee devoted almost entirely to reeeirlng reports and to an inter change of riew as to the condition of the campaign. SILVER COINAGE, v __ ■ ; ?

STEWART TO THUR8TON. ChMItifH the Nebraskan to Pnm the Bryan ChargM f, Washington, Auf. 10.—Senator W. M. Stewart has sent the following let* ter In reply to that of Senator Thors ton: ... .. “Yon assume that yon are not as sailing Mr. Bryan when yon are quot ing what Irresponsible newspapers say of him, and giving to such state ments all the credit your high official position can confer.' Yon belittle yonr understanding when yon say that it is the duty of Mr. Bryan to enter into personal controversy with every hire ling newspaper scribbler who is em ployed to slander or defame him. The people understand the animus of par tisan newspapers, and make proper allowances for their assertions, out when you clothe their slanders In your official robes, it Is a lame and coward ly defense on your part to protect yourself by skulking behind misera ble newspaper scribblers < “If yon have no ease against Mr. Bryan, which you already virtually adgiitted by citing irrelevant, incom petent hearsay to prove yonr charge, your slanders will be harmless so far as he is concerned, but ean von afford to be published to the world as a Ped dler of slanders which yon cannot prove? If yen have any friends who supposed that you were both honest aud brave, they will be sorely disap pointed if yon fail to frankly avow yonr error and retraet yonr slanders, or prove the truth of yonr charges which 1 have quoted above.” Mr. Crisp la Peer Health.
