MR. 8EWALL GENEROUS.
n>« Tics Presidential NoaliM’i UlUi
to Hr. Bryan Had* Pablla
Chicago, Kept. I.—Chairman Jones
of the Democratic national committee
haa made publio a letter to William
J. llryan from Arthur Bewail, appar
ently dated July 25, at which lime
the Populist convention was In ses
sion. The letter, which is exciting a
forest deal of comment, reads as fol
owe:
•'Oath, Ms., July 23. 1895. — My dear
Mr. llryan: In view of the action of
the Ht. Ixiuis convention to-day, I
cannot refrain from giving you my
thoughts on the situation.
"My advices are that you have been
nominated as a candidate for Presi
dent aud Mr. Watson for Vice Presi
dent. 1 also learn through the press
dispatches that you are somewhat un
decided whether you ought to accept
or decline. Now, 1 desire to say to
you, with the utmost frankness snd
good feeling that you must not allow
any personal consideration for uie to
influence you in your uctiou.
"1 desire you will do just what you
believe best for the success of the
head of our ticket. The prmciplee wo
are fighting fur me so paramount to
any personal considerations that the
latter should not have auy weight or
influence whatever with your action.
"I cannot for u moment allow my
self to be a factor in auy action on
your part that would ia the slightest
degree hazard au electoral vote for
you
"Willi bind regards to Mrs llryan,
bcliuvc uie, your sincere friend,
"AMIUI II hKWALI.”
The Democratic managers at head*
ijr.arters insist that the letter had no
further significance than that Mr.
Ilrysri would consent to receive a
formal uotilicallon from the Populist
imrly in the near future, arid the pub
lication was to forestall false rumors
ss to the attitude of Mr. Bewail toward
such a ceremony.
Accompany ing the letter is the fol
lowing ulliciul statement: "Several
duya ago Chairman Jones wrote
a letter to Mr. Bewail stating
to him that many Democrat!
m rung iiuuv me country, anu
especially throughout tne West,
wi re objecting to fusion with the
J’opulisls on electoral tickets, for tlie
reason that they did not wish to be
disloyal to Mr. Bewail, In reply to
Chairman Jones. Mr. Bewail forwarded
the foregoing copy of a letter written
to Mr. Ilryan.”
Upon being questioned as to the
time when Bcwail's resignation
would go into effect. Chairman Jones
said: "The talk about tlie retirement
of our candidate for Vice President
is too ebsurd to ho seriously dis
cussed. Mr, Be wall's letter, written
directly after Mr. liryan's nomination
by tlie BL Louis convention, is a
splendid illustration of his loy
ally to Ins associate on the Demo
cratic national ticket. He sees no cm*
barrassmeut whatever in Mr. liryan’s
nomination for president by another
party and upon another ticket,but be
lieves it to be an important step to
ward certain victory for silver’s causa.
It Is a complete answer to
efforts of the gold Democrats to create
the impression that Mr. Bcwull will
retire under any circumstances, to say
that tlie Democratic party and its na
tional organisation are just as loyal
to Mr. Bewail as lie himself is to Mr.
Ilryan and tlie great cause of tli;
common puople.
30,000 HEAR MR, BRYAN.
An Imposing Demonstration at Ohio's
State Capital.
Coi.rumis, Ohio, Sept. 3.—The free
(liver campaign in Ohio touched Its
high mark in Cleveland, but the out
pouring of people to see and hear the
Democratic presidential candidate at
the Btate capital last night was great
er in proportion to the si/.e of the city
than tiiat in the Northern metropolis
had been. Mr. liryau had the State
capi’.ol grounds for his forum, and the
memory of tho local politicians con
tains no such demonstration as the
one in which he played the star part
A roofed and ilug draped platform
faced the eastern front of the capitol
building, and as Mr. liryau looked
down from its height, twenty feet
above the street, he saw the steps and
terraces packed in solid rows, with
the gloomy stone wall for the back
ground, while about the other three
sides of the stage across the lawn of
several acres to the street beyond,
stood regiments of whidh an accurate
estimate wus an Impossibility, and
which a careful guess would place at
30,000.

Issues and Cost Their llallots
Intelligently and for
Their Meat Interest*
CmoAflo, Sept. 7.—Mr. Bryan left al
8:46 o'clock this morning for Mllwau
kee, where he was to make twe
speeches to-day. With him were E,
C. Wall, F. W. Von Cothausen, Jullui
Schuendel and P. J. Somers.
At Waukegan, where about 700 peo
ple demanded a speech from Mr. Bry
an, he was Introduced by Mr. Wall ai
tbo next President of the United
States and said: “Ladies and Gentle
men, I haven't time to make a speech,
but I am very glad to see you.whethei
you are drawn here by what opposing
papers call idlo curiosity or by Inter
est in the cause being presented in
this campaign. I Bin inclined to be
lieve there is a great deal of interest
among the people on both sides of thii
question. Some believe the success ol
the free silver cause would be detri
mental to the country. They say they
are earnestly opposed to us. Otheri
believe that there can be no
general return of prosperity t«
the people of the United States
until wu stop the appreciation ol
money by giving tho people mor«
standard money. It Is natural to be
lieve that these people feel interested.
It is not for one man to say how an
utuur Burnt uiiim, ur iict ui vuic, uui
I believe we have the right to urg<
upon you the Importance of studying
the question for ourselves and not
allowing anybody to think for you.
1 do not believe there is any class ol
people who can safely be intrustod tc
the right to think and act for anothei
class. The ballot is given to the cit
izen in order that each citizen ma;
make bis vote represent not wbal
somebody else may think, but what
he wants himself. I simply ask you,
during the days which Intervene bo
tween now and election day, to stud;
the issues presented in this campaign,
and when you have made up youi
minds, have the courage to vote ai
you please, and no one can qnestioc
vour right to do it. I thank you.”
CHEEKS AND COUNTER CHEERS.
There was a loud cheer when Mr
Bryan had finished. Then some om
proposed "Three cheers for McKln
ley,” and about half the crowd gavi
them with a will. These were fcl
lowed by return cheeiing for the
Democratic nominee, which continued
until the train pulled out.
At Kenosha a thousand people were
waiting. To them Mr. Bryan spoke
as follows: "Ladies and gentlemen
It is natural in a country like thia
where all the power emanates fron
the people and where officers an
chosen by the people, they should fee
an interest in public affairs and cam
palgns through which they pass
When the time comes when (he grea
question forces itself to the front th<
interest is deepened, and we havi
reached such a time. Often It is a mat
ter of comparatively little import
ance whether an Issue before the peo
pie is settled this year or next, or i
few years in the future; but there ar<
times when great results depend on i
campaign, and we have reached sucl
a time. The money question has beei
forced upon the attention of the peo
pie by those who are not satis
filed with the gradual appre
elation of the dollar, but have sough
to hasten its rise. It certainly hai
been too rapid for the welfare o
the people, but those who were th
beneficiaries of the appreciation of th
dollar were not satisfied and attempt
ed to hasten Its rise by action stil
more hostile to the white metal. The;
have not been content to let the pea
pie have an increased value of mouey

Nherman law and put nothing in It

there were no necessary evils in gov

I draw any lines between government
and the abuse of government, and
whenever people apeak out against
1 an abuse of government those whn
' are making money out of the abuse
generally And fault with the people
who complain and try to pnt them in
the attitude of opponents of govern
ment. 1 want to assure you the most
loyal supporters of government are
not found In great trusts which think
thev are greater than the government
end control it. They are found among
the masses who want to secure love
for the government by every citizen
bv making It so good It will deserve
their love. Remember you cannot
reform evil by talking, you have got
to reform It by voting. People may
complain as much us they like
about a bad law, but the way
to get rid of it is to repeal it and the
way to repeal it is to vote for those
who believe In repealing the laws that
are bad and not those who want to
make more bad laws and keep all the
bad laws already In existence. If the
people of this country would all rec
ognize the power of the ballot and
use that power as they should, there
would be less complaint against injus
tice. If our laws are bad, remember
the people who permit the laws to re
main bad are to blaine. If our laws
aro to be good, those who want them
good have got to make them good. I
thank you.”
