JOHN IS HEARD FROM. The Seaboard's Vice President Replies to 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 fines himself pnncip- dy to argument and he I**)* Mr, bpcinmr u compliment 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. A Distinguished Educator Dead. Danville, Ky., Sept. 16—Rev. Dr. William C.

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.
