It is announced that Mr. Sewall, of Mam. has contributed twenty thousand dollars to the Democratic campaign fund. * * * Secretary of the Treasury, Carlisle,refuses to meet Joe Blackburn, es Kentucky. Lack of time is the excuse offered. * * * Chicago workingmen are up in arms and open revolt against attempts of the agents of Hanna to coerce them into the support of McKinley. * * * T. V. Powderly, the erstwhile reformer, but recent convert to gold bugery, was given a regular frost by the workingmen of Chicago on his attempt to speak there last week. * * * The opposition of the banks to the 16 to 1 ratio is explained by their statement published in the New York World that the banking business of the country is being done on a basis of $15,60 of debt to SI.OO of gold. * * * Jno. A. Parker. Chairman of the Kentucky Populist State Committee, former editor and publisher of the New Republic, at Louisville, has again resumed control of that paper, and is giving atrong support to Bryan and Watson. * * * The single taxers of Delaware have been killing two birds with, one stone by distributing countless dodgers setting forth their claims, among the vast crowds that have gathered to hear Bryan, and then staying to cheer the Presidential nominee. * * * The opposition papers are devoting much space to inharmonious conditions in regard to the Vice-Presidency. Rumors of withdrawals and accrimonious telegrams and interviews are abundant. However, Tom Watson seems to be busier doing good work in his State campaign than he is in getting off the ticket.

A gentleman by the name of Hobert is said to be the republican candidate for Vice-Presi-dent; nobody ever heard of hini before his nomination, has anybody ever heard from him since? Evidently Mr. Hobert is doing the “still hunt” act with the expectation of getting in between the locked horns of the Watson and Sewall dilemma. * * * Elliott Danforth, Chairman of the New Z ork State Democratic Committee, announces his determination to protest in court against tha use of the name “National Democratic Party” by the

Palmer-Hanna contingent. If he succeeds, they will adopt the following curiously inapt caption : ‘ ‘Democratic Party Reform Organization. ” * * * Wm. J. Bryan issued a formal letter of acceptance of the populist nomination for the presidency. last week, in reply to Chairman Alien’s letter of notification. While not openly endorsing all of the populist plate form, he expressed himself as being in full accord with the principles of the party. The letter will, no doubt, satisfy most reasonable reformers.
