BRYAN AT ST. LOUIS

S"OIOCRACl'9. AKCII A CITATO II VIS- : ITS THE MOISU CITY, After RanhiiiK Acrom the Stolen of i Indiana and Illinois In Haili war President Car. SPEECH AT LAWRENCEBURG AM) SHOUT TALKS AT AlHOHA AXD OTHER IIOOSIKIt TOWNS. Alien V. Clark on Show as Planter of Ceremonies, and Representative McMillin I ned am a Substitute. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ST. LOUIS, Oct. 3. Candidate Bryan arrived in the Mound City this evening and delivered several speeches. The occasion of his visit here was the national convention of Democratic clubs, which is in session at the Auditorium. The city was well filled with visitors drawn here by low railway ' rates and the expectation of seeing the I'opocratic nominee. During the day Mr. Bryan spoke at several points in Indiana and Illinois, having left Cincinnati at 7 o'clock a. - m. in the private car of President Peabody.of the UaKimore & Ohio road. That "eminent statesman, Allen W. Clark, of Indiana, accompanied the Nebraska man to pilot him across the southern part of the IIooBler State. Representative McMIllln acted as suj&stltuta for Mr. Bryan, at a number of places and made brief speeches. At lAwrenceburg, ' Ind., the first stopping place, Mr. Bryan said: "This commences , the day's , work pretty early, but we have to make up in public epeaklng and In hard work what we lack In daily newspapers and campaign funds for the circulation of literature. As I came upon the stand I met a gentleman who uaid he had been a Republican, but was going to vote for silver this year. That lias got to be , quite a common phrase. J .here is a reason for these- changes. The Republican party has been holding out a prospect for bimetallism. It has declared that the American people, from tradition and internet, desired bimetallism. But this year the Republican party says that while the American .people may . desire it, they cannot have it until other nations bring it to them. It is the first time in tha history of this country that any great party ever proposed that the legislation of this country should be dependent upon the will of people in foreign countries. Our opponents tell us that the tariff issue is the great Issue. Until they put a prohibitory tariff on foreign financial policies they cannot talk tariff to me. "I want to impress upon your minds that It is not sufficient to elect a President who Is in favor of free coinage, because the President can do nothing until the bill reaches him, and the bill cannot reach him unless the Senate and the House are in favor of free coinage. The Senate is in favor of It, and the House must be before free coinage can be realized. I shall not be satisfied with merely my election. I want a Congress that will give to you the free and unlimited coinage of silver without waiting for the aid or coimcnt of any other nation." . SPEECH AT AURORA. At Aurora there was a crowd. Mr. Bryan said: "The cause which we represent Is not a new cause. There Is nothing experimental in the plan which we propose. We are not trying to make the gold or silver dollar larger. or smaller. They, are to remain the same; but we want more than wa have now. We ask that our mints shall be opened when the people desire them open regardless of what other nations may say or think or do. We simply desire a policy that was the policy of this country until silver was stricken down in the dark and without public discussion. Our opponents are airaid that we will have too much money. I am willing to let my opponents have the vote of every man whose experience has taught him to be afraid of havlntr too much money if I can have the vote of every man whose experience has rtaught him to fear a drought of money more than a Hood. (Applause.) I am glad that w-?, are going to have more recruits from other parties than the Democrats we lose." At Osgood Mr. Bryan said: "I have felt an interest in the subject of bimetallism for six years. Before that I never thought the money question amounted to anything. When I heard people speak of the money , power I thought they were a harmless sort of crank and that there was no such thing. But the more I studied the subject the more important did the money question become and the more firmly I became con- ' vinced that underlying all our difficulties was our financial legislation, and that until our financial system was taken out of the hands of the money changers and administered in behalf of the whole people there could be no permanent prosperity amongthe American people. (Applause.) "We have seen in this campaign what the mony power means. We have seen banks attempt to intimidate the people who owe the banks, and we have seen this great roney power reaching out from the money centers of the world and putting its hands upon our industries and threatening to lock the doors of factories and turn men out of employment unless all mankind will bow down and worship the golden calf.. We have seen an arrogance that has seldom been paralleled; we have seen a tyranny not often before attempted, and whenever people rose to complain they denounced them for complaining without attempting to take away the cause of complaint. In several States the Republican platforms have declared against agitation. Not only against our cause, but against the discussion of our cause. My friends, agitation will continue until the people have an American financial system suited to the needs of the American people." ESCORTED BY THE SHERIFF. Lioogootee was reached at 1:13 and a large crowd had assembled In the public square near the depot. Mr. Bryan was escorted to the platform immediately behind "tho sheriff of our county," who carried an American flag. He spoke, in part, as follows: "How much money wa shall have, who shall issue that money and what shall be Its quality are questions which are pressed upon public attention. The maintenance of the present financial policy means that gold shall be the on supreme money gold so mall in quantity that a few financiers may corner it at any time, and upon primary money gold is to be reared another system by which the banks shall furnish us whatever paper money we have. "We have the unique position in this campaign of those who call themselves Democrats being in favor of a national bank currency. The Democratic party in all its history has never favored a national bank currency. That great idol of the Demo- ' cratlc party, that great hero In the fight of the .common people against aggregate wealth, Andrew Jackson, made his greatest reputation opposing the national banks of his day,, and yet, my friends, there are those to-day who would turn over the Issue of paper money to the national banks of this country. There are those who would retire our greenbacks and treasury notes and substitute government bonds, "and on these bonds allow national banks to issue their notes, in order that the banks may collect the Interest which the government now saves to the people. Who likes it? The people who make money by It.. Who are opposed to our greenbacks as we now have them? Those who. in place of greenbacks, would substitute these not.ea. at a profit to themselves and at the expense of the people. And yet these are the- dishonest people who presume that they are the only people who have sufficient intelligence and sufficient love of country to give the people a safe financial system." (Gre?it epplause.) Many farmers had assembled, and to them Mr. Bryan said: "When our camiwign opened ouropponents thought they could ridicule it out of existence,. and then when they found that ridicule wou'd not work they began to abuse those who favored free coinp,ge. They began to call them all sorts of names and when they found that they ere not making much progress, I understand, down in the State of Indiana our opponents resorted to misrepresentation, l am informed that the Republicans have circulated in this Hiete an editorial taken from the Omaha World-Herald criticising pension appropriations. That editorial appeared In the WorldHerald sotne two years before I had any tounection with the paper and those who I

are circulating It know ' that, they are circulating something which I never wrote, which 1 was not responsible for and was In no manner connected with, and yet,, my friends, so desperate has become Jhe Republican campaign that those who t'.a.m to want an honest dollar are not willing to dal honestly with a political opponent. Upon the pension question, as upon all ether questions, my record can be fuund by any one who will read the reports of tho congressional proceedings or. the platform vpon which I have run." AT VINCENNES. At .VIncennes- Mr. Bryan was conveyed through the crowd without suffering any of the usual inconveniences , incident to a speech In a town of that size, lie said, In part: "In the last three years It has required an issue of $2ti2,000,000 of bonds to maintain ths? gold standard, and there is no" telling how many more bonds must be issued to mamtain the gold standard if it is continued in this country. You have a chance this fall to decide by your ballots whether you desire its maintenance, or whether you desire to abandon it and substitute the double standard. The Republican party tells us that we must keep something whi;h we desire to get rid of until other nations help us to let go of it. We have, waited for twenty years, and we are further away from the double standard to-day than we have ever seen before. The gold standard never fought an open battle. No step has been taken in favor of gold except it was taken in the dark." . At Iawrencevhle, 111., there was the usual crowd to greet the candidate, and Mr. Brysn made a short speech from tna yiatform of the train. He was followed by Representative McMillin. At Olney, 111., the home of the present Republican nominee for tiovernor of the State, a gayly decorated stand had been erected, and from it the nominee delivered one of his characteristic speeches-. At Flora, where many of Mr. Bryan's boyhood friends helped to make up the crowd that received him, the nominee spoke briefly and then put on a "sub" Mr. McMillin. At Salem, the town where Bryan was born, everybody tried to shake "Billy's" hands. As at other places, he spoke for a few minutes and then introduced Representative McMillin. Tha train reached East St. L.culs at 6:30 p. m. and Mr. Bryan spoke from a platform erected in a vacant lot. His name es well as Governor Altgeld's was cheered. Mr. Bryan's speech followed closely the lines of previous p.ddresses. At one point In his address he said: "Our opponents are attempting to array the laborers in the cities against the laborers on the farms. They are trying to divide those who toil into two classes and play one class against the other class. They tell us that we are raising class issues, and the Republican party in this campaign has done more to array class against class than any party ever did in any campaign in the history of this country, and worst of all, my friends, worst of all, the Republican party in this campaign isttompting to compel the laboring men of this country who work for warres to vote against their own interests, under the threat of losing their jobs. They teil you that the interest of one man is the interest to all. I tell you that there are questions which arise where men's interests differ. The Australian ballot was given for just such campaigns as we have now. There never was a better ovportunlty to Illustrate the value, aye. the priceless value, of the Australian ballot than this campaipm. They can threaten to take the bread from your children: they can threaten to turn you out of work, but when the day comes to vote they can t prevent you from registering a free man s From East St. Louis Mr. Bryan was brought to St. Louis in a carriage to the Southern Hotel, where he took dinner. As soon as he had finished he was taken to the Auditorium, where he spoke to a big crowd. Not n Cheer at Seymonr.' Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SEYMOUR, Ind., Oct. 3. The Bryan special train passed through this city on the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern railway this morning at 10 o'clock. About five hundred people had gathered at the depot, and when the train stopped Mr. Bryan appeared on the platform of, the rear coach. Not a cheer went up from the crowd and all of the enthusiasm displayed was that of a few boys who yelled for McKinley. Bryan did not speak. Over one-half of the crowd at the depot this morning were Republicans and will vote for McKinley.

Bryan Is Too Sure. CHICAGO, Oct. 3. In a signed statement published' by the Times-Herald William Jennings .Bryan expresses confidence in his success. He declares that he has no doubt that he will be elected. DEMOCRATIC CXl'BS. Few Delegates Attentl tie Quadrennial Convention. ST. LOUIS, Oct. 3. The quadrennial convention of -the National Association of Democratic Clubs met here to-day in the Auditorium, with a small attendance. Instead of the 2,500 delegates that were expected only 300 were present at the opening, and less than 500 visitors occupied the seats In the galleries. President Blactt delivered an address, in which he declared that the cause which the Democratic party- was supporting was that of no class, no section, but of the people as a vhole. It was the cause of all classes from all parts of the country. He then entered into the discussion of the money question and concluded by denouncing Mark Ilanna and the moneyed power. When he had finished he introduced Vice President Stevenson, who also made a free-silver speech. Governor Stone whs the next speaker, and he was followed by Representative Newlands. of Nevada. At the afternoon session. Senator H. D. Money, of Mississippi, was selected for permanent chairman; J. B. White, of West Virginia, and Jefferson Pollard, of Missouri, reading clerk. In taking the chair, Senator Money paid a high tribute to W. J. Bryan, and said he was worthy to be ranked with Lincoln and Grant. The committee on permanent officers reported the following: C. F. Black, of Pennsylvania, president; Lawrence Gardiner. District of Columbia, secretary; W. A. Clark, Montana, .treasurer. The report was adopted and the officers elected by a viva voce vote. Mrs. G. L. Werth, of St. Louis, and J. W. Kelley, of Indiana, made addresses. In its report the committee on resolutions Indorsed the Chicago platform and ticket throughout. Monopolies and trusts and the single gold standard were tlonounced. The action of many of the great corporations and railways in coercing their employes to support any particular candidate was condemned, and the attention of the government offfoers was called . to . the alleged abuse. The report was unanimously adopted. TROUBLE AT A SOIREE. Will Freeman Hits F. 31. Van Horn with a Brick. Mrs. John Turner, colored, of 233 South Capitol avenue, decide! to give her hus band a birthday party last night, and among other things provided to make the guests merry was an abundant supply of liquid consolation in kegs. As Mrs. Turner explained, it was an invitational affair. F. M. Van Horn had been engaged to furnish music; also Will Freeman had been en gaged for the same purpose. When Free man appeared he had with him. a , man named King, to whom Mrs. Turner objectta. fane tola t reesian tnat sne did not want King about the place he had not been in vited and was not wanted at all. He had brought a guitar, expecting to help furnish music. Freeman and King withdrew, but later they were in the back yard, and Van Horn went out to try to get them to stop raising a disturbance. Some words passed, and Freeman threw a brick at Van Horn, striking him on the left side of the face, just above the ear. The brick made a very mean cut, about two inx-hes one way and an inch and a half the other, showing that it was the corner of the brick that did the damage. An artery was cut. and blood spoyted from the wound in a way to very much alarm those who saw Van Horn. but the injury is not of a serious nature, unless a concussion of the brain shouidi result, which is not probable. The wound was dressed at the City Dispensary. Later Freeman was arrested by patrolman Woodard, but not until after another light occurred, in which Woodard showed that he was master of the situation, but even then it required the assistance of Mrs. Turner and one of the guests to hold Freeman while Woodard placed the nippers on him. Freeman was s!ated for assault and battery with intent to kill. .' 1 " A Defaulter Assigns. TROY, N. Y., Oct. 3. George H. Morrison, the defaulting county treasurer, sprang a surprise upon the county officials to-day by making a general assignment to Charles P. Kimball of all his property. lie has made a previous assignment to his bondsmen of certain property and securities, and was not supposed to have anything more to assign. He is still in jail In default of 5100,000 ball.- .

LETTER FROM BRYAN

ACCEPTING THE POPl LIST XOMINATIOX FOR THE PRESIDENCY. He Say Nothing: Abont Kicking Watson Off the Ticket, bat Hints Something; Ooght to Be Done. AN INGENIOUS CALCULATION WHAT MAY HAPPEN IN CERTAIN STATES CARRIED BY CLEVELAND, If the Defection of Sonnd-Money Democrats Is as Great as In Vermont and Maine.ST. LOUIS, Oct. 3. On his arrival here candidate William J. Bryan gave out for publication the following letter of acceptance of the Populist nomination for President: 'lion. William V. Allen, chairman, and others, ' members ot the notification committee of the People's party: "Gentlemen The nomination of the People's party for the presidency of the United States has been tendered 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 tha Democratic national convention at Chicago. "I fully appreciate the breadth of patriotism which has actuated the members of the People's party, who, in order to consolidate the sentitment in favor of bimetallism, have been willing to go outside of party lines and support as their candidate one already nominated by the Democratic party and also by the silver party. 1 also appreciate the fact that while, 'during all the years since 1S73, a large majority of the Democratic party and a considerable minority of the Republican party, have been consistent advocates of free coinage of silver at the present ratio, yet ever since the organization of. the People's party its members have unanimously supported such coinage a3 the oaly means of restoring bimetallism. By persistently pointing out the disastrous effects of a gold standard and protesting against each successive step towards financial bondage, the Populists have exerted an important influence in awakening the public to a realization of the Nation's present peril. "In a time like this, when a great political party is attempting to surrender the right to legislate for our views upon the financial 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 American institutions to lay aside for the present such differences as may exist among us 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 secure when controlled by a few financiers, and the national honor can only be maintained by a servile acquiescence in any policy, however destructive to the interests of the people of the United States, which foreign creditors, present or prospective, may desire to force upon us. "It is a cause for congratulation that we have in this campaign not only the support of Democrats, Populists and Republicans, who have all along believed in independent bimetallism, but also the active co-operation of those Democrats and Republicans who, having heretofore waited for international bimetallism, now join with us rather than trust the destiny of the Nation to those who are holding out the delusive nope of foreign aid. while they labor secretly for the permanent establishment of the single gold standard. "While difficulties always arise in the settlement of the details of any plan of cooperation between distinct political organizations, I am sure that the advocates of bimetallism are so intensely in earnest that they will be able to devise some means by which the free silver vote may fc concentrated upon one electoral ticket in each State. To secure this result charitv towards the opinions of others 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 just and equitable terms. "The American people have proven equal to every emergency which has arisen in the past, and I am confident that in the present emergency there will be no antagonism betweei the various regiments of the one great army which is marching to repel an invasion more dangerous to our welfare than an army with banners." WHAT MAY HAPPEN If the Democratic Vote Falls Off 30 Per Cent, in Certain States. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-An ingenious calculation has been made, based on the figures of the elections in Vermont and Maine recently. In those two States the Democratic vote fell off about SO per cent. In both States the campaign was fought out on the national issue, and the vote for the State ticket was practically the same as it will be next November. Assuming that there will be a similar decrease in other States except, o course, those hopelessly Democratic Southern States, where the Democratic electors will be counted in by fair means or foul, the Democrats would lose twelve. States which they carried in 1302. In the following table the first column of figures sets forth the Democratic vote in those States for Mr. Cleveland in 1S32; the second the Democratic plurality that year, and the third a calculation of what the Republican plurality would be on the supposition of a 30 per cent, defection in the Democratic vote: - Connecticut 82,375 5,370 26, 9i3 7,125 40,020 21.130 41,480 14,974 45,518 32,603 38,543 4,174 C.544 39,328 100,891 71,29$ 11,816 13,015 38,1:39 38,338 150,592 7,205 3,130 21,103 46,653 Illinois 426.2S1 Indiana .....62.740 Kentucky .. Maryland . . , Missouri ...175,461 ...J 3, $t!6 268,395 .........171,042 New Jersey .... New York ...... North Carolina . Tennessee West Virginia .. Wisconsin ...654.868 ...132,951 ...138,874 ... 84,467 ...177.335 The combined electoral vote of these twelve States is 173, which were of course given to Mr. Cleveland four years ago. Without them he would have been defeated, and the country under President Harrison would have escaped the four years of dreadful disaster which have now brought it almost to tne verge of ruin. If these twelve States go Republican next November their electoral votes, added to the votes of the States which will be conceded by every one to Major McKinley, will give him an overwhelming majority In the Electoral College. That this falling off of about 30 per cent, of the Democratic vote in the States enumerated above is by no means fanciful or improbable will be conceded, when it is recalled that since 1S92 two of these States, Kentucky and Maryland, have elected Republican Governors. Four of them. Maryland, North Carolina. West Virginia and New Jersey, have replaced Democratic Senators by Republicans. In another State, Tennessee, the Republican candidate for Governor. Hon. H. Clay Evans was elected beyond a doubt, but was counted out by Democratic manipulators, and in every one of the States the Democratic representation in the House of Representatives elected along with Mr. Cleveland in 1S92 has been largely supplanted, in some cases entirely supplanted, by Republican Representatives. WONT BE KICKED OFF. Mr. Washhnrn Says Watson Will Stay on the Popnlist Ticket. CHICAGO, Oct. 3. George F. Washburn, chairman of the Chicago branch of the national committee of the People's party, when asked, "What have you to say in regard to the report from Atlanta, that Watson is to withdraw?" said: "I can brand it as another campaign lie. It Is a" newspaper sensation, sprung in the absence of encouraging news to influence the Georgia election next week. I have just received a telegram and letter from Mr. Watson, which made no reference to this press report, but. n the contrary, referred to his tour through the West, which he will make at the close of the Georgia campaign. I am surprised that this fake dispatch should - have been circulated by the Democratic paper in Atlanta, as the Democrats know that the only hope we have of holding our Populist vote for Bryan is through the continuance of Mr. Watson on the ticket. He could not withdraw It fie desired to. Our people would rebel at the thoug-ht.

He Is too much of a patriot to do It, and has no such thought or intention. He will remain our candidate to the end and actively participate in the campaign, confining himself to -States where there are Bryan and Watson electoral tickets in the field. Fusion has been accomplished in nearly all the States. Our electoral tickets will remain in the field and enough will te elected to become a-very important factor in the Electoral College and help make Bryan our next President." FORAKER AT CHICAGO.

The Eloquent Ohloan Discnsses the Political Issues. CHICAGO, Oct. 3. Senator Foraker spoke here this evening to a large crowd, saying in part: "The questions of this year are largely nonpolitlcal. They are business questions, and, being business questions, party lines are being largely disregarded. There is an unsatisfactory business condition. The panic of 1893 in modified form is still continuing. Mr. Bryan tells us these hard times were caused by the 'crime of 1873. We claim that they were caused by the crime of 1S92; that, It wa3 not the demonetization of silver, but the demonetization of our markets; not closing the mints, but closing the mills. That the act of 1873 was not the cause of our trouble is shown by the twenty years of unexampled prosperity that followed. No country ever prospered as did this from 1873 to 1893. As proof that it was the elections of 1SP2 and that which followed in the administration of our government that has brought paralysis, idleness and distress upon us, we have the experience of the past, as well as the existing facts of the present. Like results have always followed free-trade or tarilf-tor-revenue-oniy. legislation. Whenever we have had protection we have had prosperity, and whenever we have had free tiade we have had adversity. Knowing tne cause, we know the remedy. It is the return of the Republican party to power, a restoration of the protective-tariff policy, a reinauguration of reciprocity, the maintenance of a sound currency, and all under the guidance and leadership of William l)cKimey. "I have not time to discuss all the objections to free siiver. but I can enumerate some of them. In- the first place, you cannot have free silver without having free trade. Mr. Bryan represents both, believes in both and stands piedged to both. In the second place it does not mean bimetallism, but silver monometallism. The election of Mr. Bryan and the adoption of that policy would be to put this scontry on a silver basis and class it with Mexico, China and Japan, instead of leaving it to stand, as it does to-day, with the first nations of the earth. The Republican party is not hostile to shver. On the. contrary, we have done more for silver than any other party in any country in the history of the world. Our silver dollar is as good as a gold dollar, not only here in the United States, but in Mexico and every other country, simply because in Mexico and every other country, as well as at home, the pledge of the United States is accepted without any question." FLORIDA ELECTION. It Will lie Held Tuesday, and Democrats Will Probably W in. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Oct. 3 The Florida State election will be held on Tuesday. A Governor and other State officers are tobe chosen for four years, a House of Representatives and half of the Senate for two years, and in each county county officers for two years,' The candidates for Governor are W. D. Bloxham, of Tallahassee, Democrat; E. R. Gunby, of Tampa, Republican, and W. K;' Weeks, of Washington county, Populisti fA? somewhat vigorous campaign has been made by the Democrats, chiefly on national Issues and the election of their State ticket by a substantial majority is : conceded. Bloxham, the candidate for Governor and present State Controller, W. -N. - Sheets, candidate for re-election for Superintendent of Public Instruction, will be cut in' some quarters. The Legislature to be elected, including sixteen hot silver Senators, will choose a United States Senator to succeed Wilkinson Call. As closely as can bo estimated, the Democratic legislative candidates and the present Senators,: one hundred In all, stand about sixty to forty against Call's re-election. '. TRANSPORTATION FOR VOTERS. William II. Bass, of Lnfnyette, Placed in Charge of the Voters. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Oct. 3. Chairman J. W. Eabcock, of the Republican congressional committee, has selected William M. Bass, of Lafayette, - to take- full charge of the bureau of transportation of Republican voters to their homes. Mr. Bass entered upon his duties this morning at Republican headquarters in the Hotel Normandle. He will issue certificates for all the States at one fare for the round trip: All Indianiana who are bona fide voters and will cast their ballots for McKinley and, Hobart can procure certificates for the purchase of railroad tickets on Oct. 16. 17, ,,') and 31. and Nov. 1 and 2, good to return on Nov. 10. Mr. Bass is also secretary of the Indiana. Republican Club, which was reorganized a short time since, and it is an assured fact that every available vote in Washington will be cast for the Republic? i candidates. Cannot Follotv Bryan and Sewall. NEW YORK, Oct, 3. Allen L. McDermott, who carried the Democratic primaries for the congressional nomination in the Seventh district, -cf New Jersey, has withdrawn from theaeontest. In a letter to the Democratic district committeemen Mr. McDermott says that as he favored the gold standard he cannot stand for Congress when the committee - had indorsed Bryan and Sewall. - Protest Agrainst the Word "Democrat." ALBANY, N. Y., Oct. 3. The protest of the regular Democratic State committee of the use of the word "Democrat" by the gold-standard Democrats on the official ballot was filed with the Secretary of State to-day. A hearing on the protest will probably be given Wednesday of next week. Campbell Is a Fopoerat. WASHINGTON, Oct. ,3. James E. Campbell, of Ohio, who is in the city, says that he will abide by the Chicago convention and vote for Bryan. lie will make a few speeches in Ohio in support of the Chicago nominees, and may speak also in Indiana and West Virginia. , i. Watson Men WTill Not Support Bryan. DALLAS, Tex.,' Oct. 3. Judge Woods Populist elector at large, and Merim M. Williams, elector in the Tenth district, make public announcement that they will rot support Bryan for President. The Watson feeling is intense. General Political News. The Connecticut Populist State convention yesterday appointed a committee to arrange a fusion with the Democrats. The conference between Virginia Democrats and Republicans with reference to fusion is still on. The Populists arc not yet disposed to yield to the proposition of the Democrats, who offer two electors, who shall pledge themselves to vote for Sewall. OBITUARY. William Morris, England' Socialist Poet and Author. LONDON, Oct. S. William Morris, the designer, poet and author, who of late years had proclaimed himself a Socialist, is dead. , . William Morris was born in Essex in 1SC4. He engaged alike in artistic and literary pursuits, and at one time hesitated between poetry and architecture. In 1358 he published his first volume of verse, "The Defense of Guinevere," and ten years later appeared the "Life and Death of Jason" and the "Earthly Paradise." In 18C1 he started In the business of decorator and artistic designer, designing wall papers and patterns for carpets, and striving to introduce beauty into English homes. Through his relations with - skilled labor an art worker himself he was led to inquire into and condemn ur present system of society. In a lecture delivered at the London Institution he said: "If art, wnich Is now sick. is to live ana not to aie, it must in tn future be of tne people, for the people an by the people; it must understand all. an be understood by all; equality must be the answer to tyranny? if that be not attained, art will die." Mr. Morris said in this same lecture: "I believe mo3t sincerely that the steady progress of those whom the stupldltv of lansruage forces me to call 'the lower classes' in material, political and social con dition, has been our real help in all that we have been able to do or hope." In 1SS4 Mr. Morris joined the Socialist League, and ever since he had devoted his time, his talents and his fortune , to the cause. An Indefatigable orator, he went about speaking at public meetings, in ana

out of season,-in and out of doors. Arrested by the pollcemer, on a memorable occasion and summoned before the magistrate, he was acquitted. Mr. Morris's establishment, where he carried on his decorative work, was at Merton Abbey, in Surrey. He produced artistic wall paper, furriture. etc., with the idea of restoring the dignity of art to ordinary household decorations.
