President Spencer's Letter.
Atlanta, Sept. 16.—Vice President
St. John of the Seaboard Air Line has
written a reply to President Samuel
Spencer’s letter to Colonel L. N. Tram
mell. Mr. St. John devotes the greater
part of his letter to the consolidation of
various lines by the Southern and de
clares that the consolidations were un
constitutional. He quotes from a speech
which Mr. Spencer is said to have made
in Savannah on the night the Central
was reorganized, when Mr. Spencer
spoke of the Southern’s interest in the
property.
Mr. St. John also reiterates the
charges that the Southern controls the
Georgia and the Atlanta and West
Point. Toward the close he takes np
the origin of the rate troubles on the
Chesapeake bay. He denies that any
one able to control a majority of the
Seaboard’s stock ever offered to sell it
to Mr. Spencer.
Mr. St. John has not written in a
personal vein, as was exneeied, but con

FUSION IN W YORK
Democrats and Populists Have
Reached an Agreement.
HELD A CONFERENCE AT BUFFALO
The Democrats Give the Populists Five
Representatives on the Electoral Ticket
and Two Congressmen For the Active
Support of the Ticket to Be Nominated
by the Democratic State Convention.
Buffalo, Sept. 16. —Fusion of the
Populistic and Democratic parties in
New York state is the important result
of a conference between representatives
of the two parties. For active support
of the ticket to be named by the Demo
cratic state convention, the Populists
will be given five representatives upon
the electoral ticket and two congress
men. The conference was not a lengthy
one, as the matter had been fully dis
cussed previously. The Populists claim
that they can swing the electoral vote
of this state either way and are sure
that their union with the Democratic
party will result in Bryan and Sewall
carrying New York state by a large ma
jority.
THE CONVENTION’S WORK.
Hinckley Hups Fur Order and Temporary
< hairman Grady .Speaks.
Buffalo, Sept. 16. —lt was 12:30
o’clock when Chairman Hinckley rapped
the Democratic state conyetion to order
and announced that the state commit
tee had selected State Senator Thomas
F. Grady for temporary chairman.
Grady addressed the convention for a
period of about. 20 minutes. In begin
ning, he said:
"As loyal representatives of Demo
crat.c constituents, you are assembled
to again declare your faith in Demo
cratic principles, your respect for Dem
ocratic authority and your confidence
in Democratic success. In this respect
you differ from some who were, for
many years, using their profession of
Democracy as a mask under which to
conceal the purely selfish character of
their political action, and who are now
leagued with your political opponents
denouncing Democratic principles, de
fying Democratic authority and aiding,
in so tar as they may, to defeat the
Democratic candidates.
"It is,” the speaker continued, “a
sham Democracy which submits to the
will of the majority only when no selfish
interest is affected or sacrificed by so
doing. It is a sham Democracy which
sets up the opinions as entitled to con
trol because of the wealth or culture or
pedigree of those by whom such opin
ions are held. It is a sham Democracy
which has for its support upon what his
money earns for him by the unjust im
poverishment of the citizen who de
pends upon what his labor may be able
to earn. It is a sham Democracy which
yesterday asked for a bimetallic stand
ard, upon the single condition of inter
national agreement, and today con
fesses that such declarations was but a
subterfuge, with which to deceive those
honestly favoring such standard, and
that all the time its purpose was to es
tablish and maintain the supremacy of
gold.”
Mr. Grady alluded to Governor Mc-
Kinley as a mortgaged candidate and
spurned the allegation that the Chicago
platform is “nothing but a declaration
favoring repudiation, riot and ruin.”
He proceeded to argue the question of
free coinage from a bimetallist’s stand
point.
Taking up the allegation that the
Chicago platform means a disturbance
of existing conditions, Senator Grady
said:
“It is entirely true that we meditate a
disturbance of existing conditions—a
disturbance, however, more in the na
ture of a restoration than a repudia
tion.”
CONNECTICUT DEMOCRATS.
The State Convention Favors the Indorse
ment of Mr. Bryan.
New Haven, Sept. 16.—The Demo
cratic state convention, which assembled
in this city, began its business with
every indication of being as memorable
an occasion as ever has risen in the po
litical history of Connecticut. While
the delegates, numbering 800, were al
most solidly for the indorsement of the
Chicago platform and candidates, the
whole machinery of the party in the
state was in the hands of gold stand
ard men. Anticipating the upset which
this condition made inevitable, 12 mem
bers of the state central committee re
signed.
There was also talk before the con
vention met that there would be a bolt
of the gold standard men at a time
when such action might be expected to
have an effect more or less spectacular.
The convention was for the selection of
presidential electors and for the nomi
nation of candidates and for the gov
ernorship and other state officers.
Chairman David of the state commit
tee called the convention to order, but
made no speech. William Kenney of
Naugutuck was designated as tempo
rary chairman, the announcement being
received with tumultuous cheering,
which was renewed when, in his
speech, he praised the Chicago platform
and candidates. Temporary officers were
made permanent.
After Chairman Kenney had read the
resignations of tne state committeemen,
a delegate moved that they be accepted
“with the thanks of the convention.”
The motion was adopted amid loud
cheering and other marks of approval.
The committee on resolutions not being
ready to report, the convention took
a recess until 1 p. m.

Bryan and Watson Informed of
Their Nomination by Pops.
ALLEN AND BUTLER OFFICIATE
Th© Former Tells the Nebraskan That lie
Has Been Chosen as the Leader of the
People's I‘arty, While the Latter Notifies
the Georgian of His Nomiuatiou For the
Vice Presidency.
Washington, Sept. 15. —Bryan and
Watson have been formally notified by
the Populists of their nomination for
president and vice president, respect
ively, by the St. Louis convention.
Bryan is notified by Senator Allen,
chairmar of the Populist committee ap
pointed for the purpose, in a letter dated
Madison, Neb. The important points
of the letter are as follows: •
It was known at the time that you had
been nominated by the Democratic party
at its convention held nt Chicago a few
days before that time, and that you would
In all probability accept the same in a
formal manner.
Yqiir nomination by the People’s party
was not, therefore, made wita any thought
that, you were a Populist or that you ac
cepted all <ihe doctrines declared by the
St. Louis pbftform. It was due, largely,
to the fact that the money question is the
overshadowing political issue of the age
and because you have at all times been an
unswerving, able and fearless advocate of
the free and unlimited coinage of silver
and gold on terms of equality at the mints
of the United States at the ratio of 16 to 1.
It has nt no time been expected, or is it
now. that you will abandon your adhesion
to the Chicago platform, nor that you
will accept all that is declared by the Peo
ple’s party platform, however more grati
fying the latter would be to the Populists.
It must be understood ’hat the party does
not abate one jot or tittle of loyalty to its
principles. We have declared ourselves
in favor of many important reforms and
go farther than yon or your party have
gone. These reforms are, in our judg
ment, essential to the liberation of the
people from present unjust and iniquitous
industrial bondage. In accordance with
precedent of our natty, we take this
method of notifying you of your nomi
nation.
The People’s party will exact of you no
promise farther than those nude in your
public utterances and exemplified in a life
devoted to the welfare of the race, nor
will we ask you to abandon the party of
which you are an honored member. In
vour nomination our party has risen above
mere partisan surrounding, adopting a
high plane of patriotism, believing that a
division of forces would result in the elec
tion of William McKinley.
Your extensive anti intimate knowledge
of public affairs and the duties the office
will impose, gained in a life that Las been
devoted to upholding the cause of the peo
ple, as well as your keen insight into the
condition of our country, in our judgment
highly qualities you to bring about a
change in away that will work injury to
none and justice to all, thus making our
government in fact, as it is now inform
only a “government of, for and by the peo
ple.”
Butler Notifies Watson.
Watson is notified in a letter from
Marion Butler, chairman of the national
Populist committee. The letter is two
columns long and recounts the history
of the Populist party, giving the rea
sons from his standpoint for its exis
tence. The striking features of the let
ter are given below:
Such is our form of government that
the citizens of the United States must
shape its course for good or evil through
the agency of political parties. When there
is no political party that represents the
principles of goed government, no party
that stands for right and the interests of
tlie laborer, the wealth producer, and all
who strive to make an honest living by
fair and legitimate means, then it is im
possible for the majority of the voters to
express their will at the ballot box.
When all the political parties stand for
the selfish interest and personal greed of
money changers, corporations, trusts and
monopolies, as does the Republican party
under the leadership of John Sherman,
and the Democratic party under the lead
ership of Grover Cleveland, then ti e pro
ducing masses are victims without an al
ternative. To w thhold their votes will
furnish them no relief, whi.e to cast their
votes for either party is to sanction their
own spoliation and to strengthen the
power that oppresses them.
Another party, an American party, was
wanted. There was need for such a party
to keep alive the American spirit of 1776,
to advocate and enforce the principles of
the declaration of independence, to advo
cate the rights of American labor and
American manhood, to restore prosperity
to a suffering people, and to rescue a great
and rich nation from the quicksands of
bankruptcy and ruin. Thus the People’s
party stands for the great principles of a
republican form of government as repre
sent-d by the forefat hers, and came into
existence to restore the government to the
people.
The People’s party was the first politi
cal organization in 20 years that made an
honest demand for the free and unre
stricted coinage of silver.
In 18'32 the Democratic politicians de
nounced the principles of the People’s
party. In 1896 these same men were forced
to purge themselves to their modern false
doctrines and return to the principles of
Jefferson and Jackson.
That party, in,its national convention,
nominated for the presidency William J.
Bryan, u mail who was ready to renounce
the false golds of a corrupted republican
ism.
The People’s party, true to its principles
and true to its teachings, nominated for
the high office of vice president a man
worthy to have headed the ticket, a man
who represents what Mr. Bryan repre
sents. and, therefore, presents to the peo
. pie today in the persons of Bryan and
Watson the best silver ticket in the field
—a ticket more representative of Ameri
can interests than any other, a ticket that
stands for just the opposite to that for
which the Republican ticket stands.
If the people win this fight for financial
reform, it must be accomplished by the
co operation of the silver forces of all po
litical parties. To secure such co-opera
tion of the different parties it is necessary
to have a co-operative ticket. Therefore,
Bryan and Watson is not only the best
silver ticket, but it is also the true co-op
erative ticket.
We have the honor, representing the
second national convention of the People’s
party, to formally notify you of your nom
ination for vice president of the United
States, and hope you will accept the high
trust and carry our banner of “equal
rights to all and special privileges to
none” to victory against the combined
minions of special privileges, aggregated
capital and organized greed.
