BRYAN TO TflE POPULISTS, The Democratic Nominee Accepts the Populist Nomination. HIS LETTER GIVEN IN FULL. Saying This is a Time When all Advocates of Bimetallism Should Unite. Lincoln, Neb., October 3rd. Hon. William Allen, and Others, Members of the Notifica tion Committee of the People’s Party. Gentlemen—The nomination of the Peoples party for the presidency of the United States has been ten dered me in such a generous spirit, and upon such honorable terms, that I am able to accept the same without departing from the platform adopted by the national convention at Chica go. I fully appreciate the breadth of the patriotism which has actuated the members of the Peoples party who, in order to consolidate the sen timent in favor of bimetallism, have been willing to go outside of party lines and support as their candidate one already named by the Democratic party, and also by the silver party. I also appreciate the fact that while during all the years since 1873 a large majority of the Democratic party and a considerable minority of the Re publican party have been consistent advocates of the free coinage of sil ver, at the present ratio, yet since the organization of the Peoples party its members have unanimously sup ported such coinsge as the only means of restoring bimetallism. people’s party’s work for free SILVER. By persistently pointing out the ■ disastrous effects of a gold standard , and protesting against each succes- I sive step toward financial bondage, the Peoples party has exerted an im portant influence in awakening the public to a realization of the nation’s political peril. In a time like this, when a great political party is at tempting to surrender the right to legislate for ourselves upon the finan cial question, and is seeking to bind the American people to a foreign monetary system, it behooves us as lovers of our country and friends of AtnoviMD in»titnSi'T' s ‘< to lay acidofcr the present such differences as may exist among ns on minor questions, in order that our strength may be united in a supreme effort to wrest the government from the hands of those who imagine that the nation’s finances are only secured when con trolled by a few financiers, and that national honor can only be maintain ed by showing acquiescence in any political policy, however destructive to the interests of the people of the United States, which foreign credi tors, political or prospective, may desire to force upon us. CO-OPERATION FOR THE SAKE OF BI METALLISM. It is a causa of congratulation that we have in this campaign not only the support of the Democrats, Popu lists and Republicans who have all along believed in independent bi metallism, but also the active co operation of those Democrats and Republicans who have heretofore waited for international bimetallism now join with us rather than trust the destinies of the nation in the hands of those who are holding out the delusive hope of foreign aid while they labor secretly for the permanent establishment of the single gold standard. While difficulties have always arisen in the settlement of details of any plan of 00-operition between distinct political organization, I am sure that the advdeates of bimetallism are so intensely in earnest that they , will be able to deviie some means by I which the free silver vote may be > concentrated upon oue electoral ticket | in each State. To secure this result charity to wards the opinions of ethers and liberality on the part of all is necessary, but honest and sincere friends who are working towards a common result always find it possible to agree upon ju-it and equitable terms. The American people have proved equal to every emergency which has arisen in the past, and I arn confident that in the present emergency there will be no antagon itm between the various regiments ol the one great army which is march ing to repel an in .-asion more danger ous to our welfare than an army with banners. Acknowledging with gratitude your expression of confidence and good will, 1 am very truly yours. W. J. Bryan. PEOPLE’S PARTY PAPER, ATLANTA, GA., OCTOBER. 9, 1896. Some Side Lights on Arthur Sew ali of Maine. In the first place, I find that Mr. Sewall is exceedingly unpopular, not only with his employees, but with his neighbors as well. It is mainly due to his aversion to social contact with them. He has few personal friends, and although he has lived all his life in Bath, Maine, he is com paratively unknown. The Demo crats have no expectation of carry ing Mr. Sewall’s own ward, his own city, his own county or his own state. His first ap pearance in politics in Bath was in 1875, when his friends tried to secure his nomination as mayor, through the Republican managers. The deal resulted in their consent ing to his candidacy for the board of Aidermen for ward six. There was no Democratic opposition, and Mr. Sewall was elected. The next year he failed to command the Re publican vote, as he did the year previous, and 35 votes were cast against him; some of those being for for Mr. J. S. Eliot, his opponent,and it was only by a total vote of 89 that Mr. Sewall was elected. The fol lowing year, Mr. Sewall ran again on the Republican ticket, the election oourring on the day Hayes was de clared President. Mr. J. S. Eliot ran as independent Republican, op posed to him, and this time Eliot polled 105 votes to Mr. Sewall’s 48. Again, as recent as 1894, Mr. Sewall contended for election to the board, and was defeated by Frank Haggett, a ship joiner, and I think a Sewall employee, who polled 121 to Mr. Sewall’s 78. Mr. Sewall had a citizen’s nomination, but failed to hold the Democrtio vote. You will observe that Mr. Sewall has. there ! tore, been twice defeated in his own ward, and has lost ground every time he has contested for election. Although nominated by Republicans and running in a Republican ward, jhe demonstrated his decreasing I strength by polling 118 voles the | first year, 54 the second year I aad 48 the third year, (each year as a Republican) and 78 as against the ship-joiner’s 121 the : fourth year, when Mr. Sewall bid j for the support of all parties, as a citizen’s candidate. I question if this unpopularity can | be equalled by any man so wealthy, employing so much help, and so prominent in his party in the United States, and only beyond question, how much of a burden his party is carrying through his candidacy. I have not touched on his equally re pelling labor record, as I have not finished my investigations in that direction. He has only been elected when the Republican managers suc ceeded, by hard work, in holding their voters in line for him. Mr. Sewall’s father was a great ship builder, and the only success that I can learn that Sewall has achieved was in receiving his property from his father at his decease. His loss of votes was in spite of the fact that he brought all the pressure possible to bear upon his employees as well as upon his social relations, together with the active work of the Republi can managers in his behalf, and the liberal use of money. Mr. Sewall was not a leader, even in so small a circle as the Aldermanic chamber, and the only measure he champ oned was a measure in the form of municipal financiering, which I understand proved an immensely expensive experiment for the city of Bath. In his social attitude, in his city, he is by instinct almost a re cluse, and an autocrat rather than a man of the people. He is exceedingly vain and pompous, and is using his candidacy for all it is worth to help establish his social relations. Hie own friends concede, that unfortun ately, his attitude towards labor, has been in the past, of a hostile nature. Naturally overbearing, he ignores their rights and scorns arbitration. His unpopularity is again shown by the fact that in his own city, among his friends, where his pictures were placed on sale, their sale fell I flat; there being no demand for them whatever. It now seems apparent that, notwithstanding the tremend ous strength of the greenback senti ment in Maine, which once carried the state, and is now indicated in the silver sentiment, with all this to sustain Mr. Sewall, it looks as though the Republicana would have a com plete “walk over.” The Democratic gold people in Bath claim that there are 200 Demo crats which Sewall cannot hold in line. Mr. Harold Sewall, son of the Presidential candidate, is one of the leading Republican speakers against the ticket which bears his father’s name, and he makes no apologies or explanations for not supporting his father. The Se walls intend to be in it. If the Republicans win, Harold will be on top; if the Democrat! win, his father will. It is said that Harold became a Republican and his father a silverite, when Cleveland declined to appoint Harold to a profitable consulship. Although Sewall is sur rounded by aristocratic neighbors, who stand by him because of their social relations, his unpopularity is so universal, and reaches all classes so thoroughly, that men in Bath are willing to bet that the Republicans will carry his ward two to on?, al though they had supported Sewall ia former years, as a Republican. 51 r. Sewall is a high protectionist, a na tional banker, a railroad king, a monopolist, and in every respects a I Republican, and is today a misfit on the Democratic ticket, and would be a better and more consistent running mate for McKinley than for the great commoner Wm. J. Bryan. Even now Sewall’s most intimate political friends are Republicans. The Republican boss of Bath, Maine, is Mr, J. W. Wakefield, they hold public meetings and work to gether in favor of subsidies and other forms of protection in shipping leg islation. Mr. Sewall is president of the American Marine Merchant As sociation, and is giving the Demo crat! much anxiety by asking the Republican campaign speakers to direct popular attention to the Re publican National platform in favor of ‘ Restoration by the American Shipping, by The Early American policy of Discriminating Duties & etc.,” in thus supporting the Repub licans, he antagonizes Bryan who is opposed to it. In nearly all his po litical and business schemes he is intimately associated with the leading Republicans of the country, and al ways counted upon to back Con gressman Dingley in pushing his protective measures in Congress. Aside from the single question of silver, Sewall to all intents and pur poses, would be just as much a Re publican as vice-President as would Hobart and the more his record is known the more apparent it will be before the campaign ia over, that Tom Watson i» the only vioa-Presi tied •andidalb &D imbued with Democratic ideas. G. Surely no modern political com munity ever paralleled the amount of legislation in social and political re form which has been enacted by New Zealand within the past five years, lu that colony the fusion of the Liberal and Labor parties shortly previous to 1891 enabled them to pass a series of radical and, thus far, apparently successful measures. The Agent General of New Zealand, in an article in a recent English review, has summarized these reforms under ' five headings: Finance, Lind, Con stiiional Reform, Labor, and Law j Reform. It is quite impracticable to indicate in a brief space the incidents of the struggle which attended the passage of these measures, or even to enumerate the measures themselves but the leading changes may be in dicated. In the first place, the prop erty tax, an annual impost of a penny in the pound sterling of every citizen’s possessions, less his debts and an ex emption of TSOO, was abolished, and has been replaced by a progressive land tax and a progressive income tax. Then came an act authorizing government leases of croton lands in perpetuity, with periodical revisions of rent. This measure has been very successful. Among the constitutional changes are the abolition of the life tenure of the members of the nomi native Uppeir Chamber, and the sub stitution of a seven years’ term. Then, again, the electoral principle of one-man-one-vote has been carried out to its ultimate issue by a regis tration clause providing that no voter can register on more than one roll. The greatest change of all has been the admission of women to the fran chise, with results by no means alarm-, ing thus far, the women voting very much according to the political affilia tions of their husbands, brothers, fathers, and sons. The labor laws have also been changed, mostly in the interest of the workingman. An Industrial Conciliation and Arbitra tion Bill has also been passed. It is I significant that few complaints are heard of ill effects from all this radi cal legislation, and that the prosperity and contentment of the people have apparently increase!. The successful operation of the tramways in Glasgow is full of en- couragement to the advocates cf municipal ownership and operation of street railways in thia country. Thu Committee of councils having char; e of the matter report that tor the second year of the experiment the receipts were $1,618,387, and t e operating expenses $1,215,373; lea • ing a balance of 8403,014, which was disposed" of as foltows: To interest < n capital, $61,258; depreciation writt n eff against capital, $86,198; renew; 1 fund, <582,280; sinking fund, ssl,- | 023; general reserve fund, $78,695: | and payments to former lessees, $42,- “60. This result has been achieved at the same time that the fares were raduced. For the 86,462,594 pas. sengers who were carried, the aver age fare was 1J- cents a passenger. The committee report that its prin cipal difficulty is to provide for the continuously increasing volume of business. Negotiations are now in progress looking toward the intro ductions of some means of mechanical traction. The tramways cover 35 miles of double track, and require 4,082 horses. The employees are clothed at the expense of the de partment, and a friendly society lias been e’tablished among them, with 1,474 members. In concluding their report the Council Committee says: “The financial result for the year’s operation have been most en couraging, and prove beyond all question that the Corporation Tram ways have the approval and support of the citizens. From the accounts published herewith it will be seen that this new business undertaken by the I’osporation is being conducted on sound commercial lines. All the plant has bean fully maintained out of the revenue, and, after writing off capital an ample amount for depreci ation, considerable sums have been placed to the general reserve fund and the reserve fund for permanent way renewals. The item of prelimi nary expenses remains at the original figure, as it is not considered neces sary to write off this sum, the sinking fund itself being sufficient to wipe it out. Over and above the ordinary obligations to the city in the payment of taxes, water, gas, etc., the tram ways undertaking is pioving a great benefit to the general finances of the Corporation, and no pains will be spared to maintain the efficiency of the department now so successfully eatablish»>d N.
