People's Pilot, Volume 6, Number 10, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 August 1896 — No Concession to Sewall. [ARTICLE]
No Concession to Sewall.
As a member of the special committee of thirteen elected by the Indiana State Peoples Party Convention to name presidential electors, the editor of this pa per is in a position to know that that committee will faithfully attend to the business intrusted to it, and that absolutely no concession will be made to Mr.* Sewall.
Iu view ot the repeated assertions made in the daily press that the committee would either not act at all or would endorse the Bryan and Sewall electors, it cannot be made to emphatic in denying these reports, to say that thi s committe is working in perfect harmony and when the proper time comes they will vindicate their fidelity to their trust by such action as will place them absolutely above suspicion. It is patent to every close observer of political events that efforts are being made in the highest councils of both the democratic and the peoples parties by wh ; ch absolute harmony will prevail on the national ticket in ludiana, and the peoples party may be sure that they will not be asked to vote for Arthur Sewall, the national banker and millionare. They know that they hold the key to. the situation and will absolutely see to it that Thomas E. Watson has an equal chance with William J. Bryan in the Hoosier state. It is a mistake to suppose modesty will prevent this committee from demanding all they want.
