JULY 28. 1904. THE NEBRASKA INDEPENDENT PAGE t. INDIANA POPULISTS Call For State Convention Special Correspoadenca .. Democratic Lcadara Bolting Vincennes, Ind., July 25, 1904. (Spe cial Correspondence.) My Indiana correspondence indicates " heavy popu list gains. Bryan democrats in In diana are disgusted with results at St. Louis, and reading between the lines they conclude that while Bryan gives nominal support to Parker, yet his heart is not really in it and that Bryan wants Parker defeated. Every township in Indiana will show democratic losses and people's party gains. The following letter is particularly pleasing to me. Mr. Overroad is a bright lawyer, a student of men and events, a strong man on me stump and possesses the courage of his convic tions. He was the delegate to the St. Louis convention from the Fourth In diana district. His letter is given be low. Yours for 'populism, SAMUEL W. WILLIAMS. Columbus, Ind., July 23, 1904. Hon. ; Samuel W. Williams, Vincennes, Ind., Dear b'ir: Replying to your letter of the 20th will say I shall not support Parker and Davis electors at the com ing election. I have decided and so declared that I shalv support Watson and Tibbies. " I remain a democrat and an ardent supporter of democratic principles as I understand them. My judgment is that there are more : democratic principles embodied in the populist platform this year taan there - are in the platform upon which Par- ker and Davis are expected to make the campaign. So I have temporarily f given my support to the populist can didates and shall continue to do so until such time as the democratic or ; ganization concludes to give battle in the interest of the people father ; in the interest of Wall street and the . privileged class. . . Such modest -support1 as I can give the populist ticket is assured you, and there will.be no recission from this determination. , Respectfully, W. H. EVERROAD. :.

Judt-e Allan says: "We are the boys " ho have ft! way stood steadfastly In the middle of the road and fouaht both reutd'ora and democrats. We have been kicked by the fttsionlsts for our n-iusat ft support fusion and you may gucju we have had a very ptea.taot Same NamesSame Objects. Editor Independent: It seems to me that I recognize the same names and the same signs at the head of the democratic party that I knew in tie old days of Brick Pomeroy. He made the name of Belmont synonymous with fraud and boodle in commercial poll tics. The son is of the same name, same blood and the same object in view. . I have acted with the Bryan wing of democracy in good faith, hoping it would be able to hold the machinery of the party in the middle of the road, and In favor of the St. Louis platform on which Bryan and Watson were nominated; but when Belmont was pot on the engine, with Hill as stoker, I quietly stepped off the train, feeling sure that a serious wreck is pending. I honor Bryan for tne noble fight he made at the convention in favor of an honest platform ancr a candidate to fit it; but he was beaten, hands down in the convention which had teen packed against him. The fiery truths that he poured out to those purchased delegates had no effect to cnange their purpose. I had hoped that Bryan would have permitted them to put a gold plank in the platform to fit the gold candidate, they had determined to name. Then he might have Deen of some force in a new movement to aid the people to possess their own. I do not believe in the theory that we must support our party in the wrong when the wrong Is notoriously the product of fraua, secured by the use of money. - , I have studied the money question for many years and have seen many definitions of "What js money?" but I find we need some new ones to fit the conditions of the past twenty years. What Is money? It is a. legal device with which "financiers', may fool the people. It is a powerful mag net, used by wily bosses to deflect state officials from their "plain duty." It Is a decoy, with which to cover up the tricks of political bunco-steerers. It is possibly susceptible of other simi lar definitions. We will try to place the Springfield ticket on the ballot In Illinois by pe tition, and thus provide a home for the orphans which are to be found In both of the twins. I believe the Independent vote of the republican and democratic parties will align themselves with the only party that represents "the plain people." They have succeeded In "eliminating populism" from the democratic plat form and In doing m, have eliminated democracy also. Hurrah for Watson and Tibbies. D. I imAUCIIKR.
