I do not need to tell you the details of our organisation We are proud of the fact that you hae been one of us and in sympathy with our methods -ever since the organiza tion of the lejgue in 18S7.

It is his privilege to n,ure in the most eectlve way at hirt command the prac tical success of the policies and prin ciples he deem best for the good of the whole country.

Faith built up In this manner and founded on truth cannot be disturbed by the excltement and lmpult.es of a campaign. Republicans k made are Republicans from conviction and not easily led astray.

I that In our form of govtrriment. char j acter counts for so much. The lack of It almost amounts to a disqualification ! for public trunt. Whatever men's In dividual opinions on moral question are .or maj- be. whether good or bad whatever may be their partj affilia tions, all prefer that public officials rtiall be of high character and worth They maj- be careless In their own Uvea, but they Insist that thoje who are to execute tl public will shall be men of unquestionable Integrity. Public opin ion demands this and all political par lies respect It. I wish for everj- religi ous body uid every' other agtncy whose object is to elcvaite mankind, the fullesl measure of sueccess.

Populist National Committee to Mall ormal Letters to Their Nominees. Washington, Auir. 28. The Star yes terday afternoon said: The Star can stato positively that Ilryan Is to be formally and officially notlHed of the popullkt nomination made at St. Louts. Tom Watson will be notified at tbe same time. TMk may fcound strange. In view of tbe statement of Chairman Ilutler that Weaver and Field ere not notified four years ago, with the Inference that went with Uthat. despite tbo protests of Popullkt Ilatemnn and others, Ilryan would not be notified. At no time, however, did Chairman Ilutler say In povltlve words that there would bo no notification. It seems that the pressure for the notification of tho populist nominees had been too heavy for those op psed to such a course to resist, and that tbe manager, ot the popultstcamputgn have finally come to tho conclusion that the notification roust bo made. Just exactly the time for tho notification has not been decided upon, but It Is probable that tbe manner has been decided on. There will bo no big meeting, like that In New York, but Senator Allen, of Nebraska. will write a letter to each of the candidates officially Informing them ol the nomination. TO RAISE SILVER FUNDS.
