REPLY OF BUTLER To the Watson Letter That Nearly Never Came." VERT BRIEF AID TO THE POUT, The Latter Being That Vales Wat so re Blue Pencil Pretty Freely He May Print His Letter Himself Bryan Begin HI Second Campaign for Free Silver Some Sensitive Soals la Salt Lake City Baaaa Kefose to Talk Political Motes, Washington. Nov. 16. In view of the fact that the letter of Tom Watson ac cepting the vice presidential nomination lng the vice presidential nomination of the Populist party has been pub lished Senator Marion Butler yester day made public his reply, written when Watson's letter was received. The reply Is dated Washington, Oct. 23,. and Is as follows: Dear Sir Your letter of acceptance was received Saturday night It had been detained in the postofflce for went of sufficient postage. You, in effct, advise Populists not to support the Joint electoral tickets that have been arranged In a large number of states. Is it possible that you fully appreciate the effect of such advice? At least upon reflection you must know that if enough Populists should follow such advice it would mean the defeat of Bryan and the election of McKinley. Besides, if your advice should be fol lowed by enough Populists the Peo ple's party would not have a single elector in the electoral college. In the states where we have Joint electoral tickts we will get every elector that we do get. and besides. It is In those states where we will get the bulk. If not all, of the People's party congress men. In your state, and other states which have followed your advice against electoral tickets, we will not get a single elector, and I fear not many congressmen, if any. Good Way to Elect McKinley. "You certainly cannot mean, how ever much you may have favored a middle-of-the-road policy In the be ginning, to advise your friends to do that which at this time would be the most effective agency In placing in power McKinley and his backers the trusts and monopolies. Can any per sonal or party injustice, however great. Justify us in being responsible, either directly or indirectly, for placing in power the stock Jobbew, monopolies, trusts, the British gold ring, and all of the combined robbers of the people and enemies of good government? In the name of outraged and suffering humanity, whose prayers today go up from millions of homes for William J. Bryan In his heroic and marvelous struggle against the minions of cor porate greed and the hellish gold con spiracy, let us sink every other consid eration and hold up his hands and do the full duty of Americans and pa triots. Ask the Georgian to Cnt His Letter. "Let us remember that it is a suffering people and a betrayed republic, and not Democratic politicians, that today call for our help and demand our ser vices. Bryan will be elected and the government redeemed if every patriot does his duty. Let us do ours. There fore I beseech you to change at least that part of your letter which gives advice which. If followed, would sure ly help the common enemy. If you do not. then you. yourself, must assume the responsibility of giving such a docu ument to the public at this time. "Yours trolv, "MARTON BUTLER." BRTATt OPENS THE FIGHT AGAIJT. Begins His Campaign for the Free Coin age of the White Dollar. Lincoln, Neb.. Nov. 16. Saturday af ternoon and night William- J. Bryan may be said to have begun his second campaign for the remonetisation of sil ver. In the afternoon he spoke to about 1.500 ladies, members of the Mary Bryan club in the Funke theatre, and at night addressed two meetings of men, one in the same building and the other an overflow meeting in Bohan nahan's hall. He had trouble with his voice at both meetings, his vocal chorda seeming to have been strained by his recent remarkable campaign, and it would seem the part of pru dence for the Democratic leader to rest still longer. His wife was with him at both meetings and they were both en thusiastically received. To the lad4es Bryan said he believed now, as always, that every man, wom an and child has the Inherent right of free political belief and had no ill-will towards any one who differed from him. His speech was almost entirely a plea of equality before the law and he concluded his speech as follows: "Allow me to thank you heartily for the courtesy extended to my wife and myself. It will lie forever one of the brightest memories of our lives, and I would add that I earnestly hope that these ladies who are Interested In ques tions of government and worked so faithfully throughout this campaign will not now drop their studies, but will continue to gain an insight Into prac tical politics, .which will prove of ines timable value In the training of the on coming geueration of voters. In his eech at night Bryan said the Republicans had won and now won id continue the goll policy and Inaugu rate anew the protection policy, and upon their success In restoring pros perity to the whole country would their chance In 1900 depend. Continuing he said: "The Republicans went before the laboring men and told them that low prices were great blessings because the wages would go farther: and they went before the farmer and told the farmer that agriculture was depressed and that supply meant prices were down and that the gold standard and confidenre especially confidence applause and laughter! would restore prosperity and restore prices to the farmer. My friends. It will be Interest ing to see the Republican party make prices fcrw In order that the wages may go farther and at the same time snake prices hish so that the farmers may get good prices ror their products.- ( Ap plause After some more In the same line as the foregoing Bryan urged continued organization on the club basis, that these clul "meet at stated time, any once a month, or at such times as the members of the club may decide, and that at thse meetings they discuss public questions. I believe, my friends, that the public servant ought to live continually under the eye of the master whom he serves. And. therefore, I say to you that these clubs can find ample employment of their time If they will discuss from month to month, from meeting to meeting, the Various questions which arise to inter est the American people. You tell me that it is aritatlon. I say to you. my friends, that when you go into a nation where there Is no aritatlon of public questions among the people, you will find a nation where a few can prey un disturbed upon the rest of the people." Applause. HA XX A WILL XOT TALK, Cnt Ha a Lapse of Memory When Qnr. Stoned a to a Cabinet Report. Cleveland. Nov. 16. M. A.
