BENSON'S LAST WORK.
Charges Preferred Agaltut the Kansas
District Attorney.
Toi'EKA, Kan., Oct 20. Edwin E.
Wilson, n Kansas City attorney, whi is
speaking for free silver in Kansas, sent
tho following telegram yesterday to
Attorney Gcnornl Harmon:
"Toi-kka, Kan., Oct. 23. Tho pres
ent United States district attorney for
Kansas, W. C. Perry, fully meets tho
definition of an offensive partisan as
laid down by tho present chief execu
tive of .the government. He is giving
his cntiro time to making political
speeches. If Mr. Perry is drawing a
salary as nn employe of tho United
States ho should not bo permitted to
violate civil service rules by being con
tinuously engaged In other than his
regular duties as prescribed by statute,
to the detriment nnd prostitution of
tho public service. As prompt and per
emptory nctlon should be taken in this
caso as has been exercised in the caso
of other governmental employes who
aro supporting Mr. Bryan. Please an
swer. Edwin E. Wilson."
Eugcno Hngan, State chairman of
the nntionnl Democratic party, refer
ring to tho telegram, said: "1 have no
doubt that Mr. Perry fully understands
himself in this campaign. My knowl
edge of him is that he is a utlckter in
tho obsorvanco of the civil scrvlco rules.
He has a right to tako part in the poli
tics of his own State without advising
tho Department of Justice about it.
You will find that his speeches in the
campaign will bo dignified and logical,
and that he will not stoop to trickery
in his conduct. He may have consulted
Attorney General Harmon for all I
know, and Mr. Harmon may or may
not have given his consent. But I will
say this much: Perry is acting upon
personal conviction and ho will go
ahead and make theso speeches, even
if he loses his position. The free sil
ver Democrats nre not consistent.
There they arc jumping Perry for
making half a dozen speeches, forget
ting that dozens of federal office hold
ers of the free silver faith have been so
active in this campaign as to be offens
ive." ALTGELD AND HILL.

The British Frlmnto Wai Kngngcd In An
swering tho Pope When Death Came.
London, Oct. 20. Tho last work
which the late Bishop of Canterbury
was engaged upon was tho preparation
of an answer to tho bull of Popo Leo
XIII on the Anglican orders. In-this
Dr. Benson said: "The posltiveness of
the assertion may still have effect with
some who mistook tho kindliness of a
personage for the thawing of frozen
church policy to which he is commit
ted."
Tho late primate- denied the pope's
contention and usserted that Rome had
not an accurate knowledge of England
concerning tho Anglican orders, and
declared that the bull "moves nil Eng
lish church men not to bo decided by a
pretension to unity nnd by assertions
which have historically croated the
widest ami deepest separations; but to
draw closer together in faith, in firm
ness and in forbearance."
Gossip still selects the bishop of Win
chester (the Right Rev. Dr. Anthony
Wilson Thoroldjus Dr. Benson's suc

to 1868, vicar of St.Pancras from 1860 to
1877 and canon of York in 1871; was con

APPEAL TO POPULISTS.
Tho Attorneys' Argument on Moth Bides
A Suggestion of Delay In llehalf of
the Opposition Not Entertained Clem
ens, Godard nnd Judge Morton Oppos.
Ing Counsel
All Members Urged to Support llryan
Vice Presidential Dilemma.
Washington, Oct. 26. The Populist
national committee, through its chair
man, Senator Butler, has issued an
address to the members of the party
urging them to royally support Bryan
and to follow his banner wherever he
leads.
The addrcs is highly euloglstlo of
Bryan as tho people's champion and
warmly commends Watson. It urges
the People's party not to be discouraged
by the fact that there aro two candi
dates for vico president in the field
marching under Bryan's banner. It
Bays there will be two months between
the election and the casting of the
votes by the electors and that there is
surely wisdom enough in the two
parties which support Bryan to adjust
that complication satisfactorily to all.
The address says Peoples party
brethren need have no fear that the
campaign will destroy tho People's
party; that its principles are right and
therefore immortal, it says that it tne
Democraoy lives up to its pledge, the
alliance will be continued, but if it
does not three-fourths of its peoplo will
march off under the standards of tho
Populist party, which still has a tre
mendous mission to perform. A fervent
appeal not to miss this opportunity to
succor the oppressed concludes.

Watson's Case In I'oart-
ToritKA, Kan., Oct. 22. Tho applica
tion of Populist Stnto Chairman John
W. Breidcnthal for a writ of man
damus to compel Secretary of State
Edwards to placo tho name of Thomas
B. Watson on tho official ballot ns tha
candidate of tho People's party for Vice
President was heard beforo the Su
preme court this forenoon. The argu
ment began at 9 o'olock and lasted
until nenrly noon. Breidenthal was
represented by G. C. Clemens and Sec
retary of State Edwards by Assistant
Attorney General Uoddard and ex
Chief Justice Albert II. Horton.
Secretary Edwards filed an answer
to Breidenthal's petition, setting out
that he had decided not to put Wat
son's name on the official ballot as the
candidate of tho People's party for
reasons as follows: First, he had been
advised Saturday, October 17, by affi
davit filed by Abe Stelnberger, that
Watson wanted his name withdrawn
from the Abileno ticket; second, on
Monday, Ootober 19, he had received
Watson's affidavit of withdrawal; third,
tho two sets of electors are identical
and all are democrats, and they would
not vote for Watson; fourth, the su
preme court has no authority to inter
fere in tho matter.
After the papers in the case had
been read, Mr. Godard asked for more
time for preparation. Ha said Mr.
Edwards hnd not been served with
notice of the case until Monday after
noon, and the ono day that had elapsed
since had not been sufficient time for
proper preparation. There were some
questions of fact In Mr. Edward's an
swer which would require time to
prove, unless the other side should ad
mit them to bo true. He suggested
that tho hearing bo postponed until
the next regular session of the court,
that is to say until the day before the
cleetlon.
After an informal discussion of the
status of the cose, Mr. Clemens pro
ceeded with his argument, going ex
haustively into tho case. Ho claimed
that Mr. Edwards had no right to aot
on Bteinberger's affidavit October 17,
and that on the 19th, when Watson's
affidavit finally arrived, It was, under 1
tne terms oi the law, too late to mako
any mora changes or alterations of any
ticket on the ballot. He also claimed
that tho affidavit sent by Watson had
not been properly verified, It not hav
ing, in addition to the jurat of the ver
ifying officers, the great seal of the
State of Georgia. He also referred to
the fusion compact by the terms of
which Watson or Sewall was to get
the Kansas electors according to the
relative number of. electoral votes the
two candidates might have in the elec
toral college without Kansas, He said
this compaot was a complete refutation
of Edwards' allegation that tho Abi
lene ticket was intended to mislead
voters.
Judge Horton said that if tho facts
alleged in Mr. EdwardB' answer were
not admitted, time should bo given to
him to furnish evidence on the subjeot.
He said It was generally known that
at least one of the fusion electors,
Morris Gliggett, would never vote for
Watson. Even Watson alleged that
the Abilene ticket was a fraud. He
had been in Kansas for tho purpose of
investigating the matter, and he had
since declared in his speeches that tha
Abilene ticket was made for the pur
pose of deceiving voters. More re
cently he had verified his statements
by an affidavit, and that affidavit was
now in this court. Watson was un
willing to permit the use of his name
to impose a fraud upon the people.
Mr. Clemens replied briefly and the
court took up a couple of local cases
which seek to compel County Clerk Mo
Cabe to put the names of Holltday and
Keith on the official ballot as legislature-candidates.
This argument con
cluded, the court adjourned for dinner.
CALDWELL ON COERCION.
8. F. NORTON FOR BRYAN,
The Mlddle-or-the Itoad Leader Urge
Popnllsts to Vote Unitedly.
Washington. Oot. 82. Senator But
ler to-day received a letter from S, F.
Norton of Illinois, tha favorite candi
date of tho middle-of-the-road l'opu
lists for the Presidential nomination al
tho St Louis convention, nnnouncln
his support of Mr. Bryan and ad
vising Populists everywhere to as
sist in Mr. Bryan's election.
He ndvises Populists to forgive
for the timo any unjust treatment
from the Democrats and postpone th
settlement of minor differences Until
after tho election. "If," he says, "suc
cess Is assured, tho Populist party can
not be denied the glory of the victory,
whether Bryan is a Populist or not.
One thing absolutely certain is that
every enemy reformers have encount
ered during the last twenty years we
find to-day among Mr. Bryan's bitter
est and most relehtless opponents. II
they are his enemies he must be ouj
friend. His success is their defeat)
their defeat is our victory.
"Although some of us may regret
certain fusion arrangements that have
been made, it is a notable fact that no
other man in the United States is so
much troubled by them as the manager
of the Republican campaign. I never
roalized before how hlgnly Republicans
have honored and respected tho Popu
list party till it fused with the Demo
orats. If any consolation is neoded,
however, for the loss of Republican
esteem, it may be found in the facj
that Messrs. Cleveland, Carlisle ana
Palmer have become legatees thereof."
