Combination Against Him in Colorado, Headed by Senator Wolcott., From the Denver Republican. If Senator Wolcott can accomplish the defeat of Senator Teller next January in the State Legislature, he can have the portfolio to London, if McKinley is elected, and that is tho goal of Cousin Ed's ambition. The junior Senator is fighting to gain the prize as he never fought be fore, and if the people aro not care ful he may succeed. All tho money he requires will beat his command. State Senator Callahan, of Mon tana, was a caller on Chairman Broad, of tho Republican State Cen tral Committee this week, and stat ed that he was given a letter to read from J. B. IT'ggaB, of the Anaconda property, written in Nw York, say ing that a fund of $250,000 was be ing raised there to defeat Senator Teller, and that $30,000 had already been dispatched to Denver, subject to the order of Senator Wolcott. The letter was written to one of the most prominent men in Montana, one who has aided largely the silver cause. Mr. Higgan gave the infor mation not because either he or his correspondent were interested in the defeat of the silver champion, but as a new and important feature in the campaign. Not only is the Wolcott machine supplying1 the Populists, but it is working industriously to secure the election of a Populist Governor. The Wolcott managers announce this publicly and privately; tbey are telling their tools to work for Bailey, and they are giving the result of their past experience in questiona ble politics to the Populist to help them on the State ticket. With the Legislative ticket it is different. The Wolcott forces are bending all their energies to secure the election of this end of their tick et, while on the other hand the Pop ulists are paying no attention what ever to their legislative ticket in this county. When the votes are count ed it will be found that there is t, great discrepency in the number east for tho county and State tickets of both the Populists and McKinley ites. There is a deal by which the Populists will sell out to Wolcott their legislative ticket on the under standing that he will support the State ticket. If the McKinleyites can get a suf ficient number of the Legislature to make it a stand off, they will de pend on bribery to do the rest. DASTARDLY ACT. The Salisbury World Office Is Kntered and . a Quantity of Type ried 850 Reward Of fered for the Arrest cf the Guilty I'arty. Salisbury World. One day last week the Salisbury World office was forcibly entered and all the mischief possibly was done. An entrance was forc ed into into the office through the rear window in the press room. Noth ing was disturbed in the press room but the cowardly depredator, who by this vile act placed himself on a level with the incendiary, passed on to the composing room where the forms for the Weekly, which is printed this eve ning, were in readiness. The type was taken from the forms and part of t dashed on the lloor. The remain der was pied in the form. After the lorms came the cases. All the cases were thrown on the floor and the type badly mixed. Who perpetrated this outrage is not deliniteJy known. We nave our suspicions and are reluctant ly forced to the conclusion that it was done by a political foe. We have Deen only slightly damaged by the outrage and we calulate that if this has been done by some one opposed to us politically, ana we believe such to he the case, they will find it to work a vaster detriment to their party thau to us. I will pay a reward of $50 for evi- donee that will lead to the conviction of the parties who perpetrated the above related outrage. J NO. M. JYLIAK. WATSON'S NAME WILL STAY.

He Says The Election of Bryan is of The Bupremett Importance Appeal to Eery Populist to I'at Patriotism and Country Above Every Other Conten tion The People Opportunity. Chicago, Oct. 15 H'tn. Marion J'utler, t'ha!riian I'arty Committee: Dkab Sir: However much . LSUG. Popu- lists may have differed at St. Louis as to the correct policy to adopt; how ever much some of us may still believe that mistakes were made, under exist ing circumstances there is only one course to pursue, and that is to loyal ly support Jlr. Bryan not so much for the sake of elevating him to the Presidency, as for the purpose of de feating: what mav be annropriaUlv and most expressively termed Mark IJanna Kepublicanirim. Although some of ns may regret certain fusion arrangements which have been made, it is a noticeable fact, that no other man in the United States i3 so much troubled about it as the manager of the Republican campaign. 1 never real ized before how highly Republicans have always 'respected" and "honor ed the l'. pulist arty "till it fused with the Democrats." If any consola tion is needed, however, for this loss of Republican esteem it may be found in the fact that Messrs. Cleveland, Car lisle and "Rainier have become the legatees thereof. Our political allies in this campaign may not have treated us as fairly aud justly as they ouzht, in tbe matter of representation of vice-Presidential electors ; and this seeius to be the chief cause of complaint, for I have yet to meet with a Populist, who does not ad mit that Mr. Bryan is the ablest and most fearless champion of reform prin ciples, that the reformers themselves havechoenin the last twenty years. It is an event in history to find a man, backed by more than four million vot ers, who has the patriotism and cour age to stand up front faced before the combined money power of the world and hurl in their teeth the burning words of defiance: "You eliall not crucify mankind on a cross of trold!" Mistakes may have been made and in justice may have been done, especi ally in the Southern States where the flower of the Populist army is to be found, but this is not the time to settle accounts, adjust wrongs, discuss differences or correct mistakes. Wre are in the face of the eiiemy, we are upon the field of battle, the welfare of our country is at stake, a sacred cause is trembling in the balance, our opponents are dan gerously well equipped and thorough ly organized, and the contest is fierce and relentless; all personal ambitions therefore should be suppressed, all personal grievances should be forgot ten, and all minor differences should be deferred till the battle is won or l03t. Every gun should be turned upon the common enemy. Whether Mr. Bryan is a Populist or not, one thing is absolutely certain, every enemy which reformers have en countered during the last twenty years .we find to-day among his bitter est and most relentless opponents. Every monopolistic corporation, every oppressor of labor, every land grabber, every trust and combine, every robber syndicate,- every millionaire stock jobber, every subsidized newspaper, every well-paid corporation lawyer, every millionaire coal baron, every shylock creditor and every plunderer of the world's wealth-producers all of these old-time enemies, whom .re formers have met on so many battle fields, are to-day Mr. Bryan's enemies. If they are his enemies, he must be our iriend. His success is their defeat: their defeat is our victory. We, the pioneer workers, have all fondly hoped that we might have the satisfaction and the glory of carrying to victory the time-honored and battle-scarred flap: of reform which the old guard has held aloft so bravely and heroically all these long and trying years, and anxious solicitude as to the outcome may be excusable. But let us not be unnecessarily alarmed about the future of the reform movement. It has passed the danger point. It-is capable of taking care of itself under any and all circcmstances. Traitors cannot betray it; time-servers cannot sell it out; injudicious friends cannot destroy it; defeat cannot demoralize it; its opponents, however powerful and crafty, cannot crush it; even the gates of hell cannot prevail against it. For twenty years, although subjected to ail the dangerous pitfalls, perils and quicksands incident to the devel opment of a new party, it has grown to be the great factor in the arena of American politics to-day. And, if elected, I believe that Mr. Bryan will not be slow to recognize thi fact, and that be will soon learn, to rely upon the counsels and support of the new party whfch has revolutionized the politics of the country, forced to the trout new and vital issues aud made it possible for the people instead of oliice seeking politicians to place a champion of progressive ideas at tbe head of the government. I believe that he will appreciate the fact tnat we have placed in the hollow of hi3 hand, not only the unselfish hopes and pa triotic aspirations of the Populists but the most sacred cause that was ever entrusted to livinff man, and that he will not betray the trust. In conclusion, permit me to say that if my twenty years of work entitles me to the conhdence of my co-work ers let me ask them to lay aside every other consideration and help elect Mr. Bryan not for his sake, but for the principles which we all hold so dear and sacred. If success is achieved the Populist Party can never be denied the glory of the victory. If defeat awaits us, and our standard bearer falls let there be no Populist arrows found either in his breast or in his back Let the responsibility rest upon I . other shoulders than our own.

Game Men Should Guard tbe Polls to Thwart Republican Schemes. A circular has been issued, by Senator Butler, as chairman of the Populist National Committee, in which he claims that Republican managers intend at the coming elec tion to control the results by the use cf money. Ho urges Bryan support ers to guard against efforts to pur chase voters or to coerce or intimi date them. "My advice to the supporters of Bryan," he says, ' is to keep every eye open to these games. Let them placo cool, gauio men on guard at evrry precinct, sharp enough to ex pose these schemes, and to use the best snd most legitimate methods to fiustrate them. I believe that the penitentiaries will be the proper place for all scoundrels who try to prever-t an honest election Coer cior.. intimidation, and every other nr.-Anerican means has bteu ufed o far, but it will become a more se rious matter to make tho ballot box itself the scene of rottenness and fraud."

If we vote for a man whom we know is a goldbug then we vote directly for the gold standard, and if we vote for a free silver advo cate whom we know is pledged to sup port a goldbug for any ohic then we vote indirectly for the maintainance of the gold standard. But if we vote for a man whom we know is true to the cause of free silver, then we prac tice what we preach and are true to our principles. Free silver is what we are after and we ought to keep in the "middle-of-the-road" and he cer tain about it. Free silver, the great issue is bring ing the common people together for a common cause. They have placed principle above party and working in harmony everywhere to save the na tion from greed and goldbugism. Gold and ereed are walking hand in hand and are a curse to suffering hu manity. We know greed, but gold is a stranger to the toiling class and is no friend to the poor whose garments are tattered and worn. Its home is among the rich, dwells in tbe vaults of hankers, in the palace and in the pockets of silk and broadcloth. While on the other hand silver is a friend to the toiling masses, its home is among the poor, it dwells in the log cabin and in the pockets of faded garments and used to jingle in the pockets of every poor man and about the neck of every child in America. But since it was demonetized in 1873, aud again in 1892 by the hands of Democrats it has not been aole to circulate among the poor as much as it would if it had not been crippled. It is dwindling away and will soon v&nisn entirely it there is not something done and that now. But, thank God, there is an neverfail ing remedy that will save its lite. The strong- arm of its friends are groin sr to the rescue and on November 3rd they are going to strike down gold. They will crive gold a blow at the ballot box that will stun it enough to cause it to take a back seat and remain in its place.Then silver will again be restored to its rightful place and will circulate among: the poor ana jingle in toe pocket of the farmer as in days of gone. The time haS arrived when we should know no political party, no prejudice, no malice and no hatred. The great issue involved is a life and death struggle, with gold and greed on one side and silver and patriotism on the other. Whiih will win? It behooves us as American citizens to lay aside party prejudice and band ourselves to gether as one great body or American patriots and tight under one banner, the great gold combine that is threat ening the destruction of our institu tions, our government and our nation, and if we go down in defeat let's die like men with our banners furled to the breeze. J. H. Beam. AN ENGLISH PROTEST. A Writer Who Wants to See Fair Play Maintained. In the National Review an English man comes forward in defense of free coinage. This gentleman, Mr. Powell, declares that the Englishman at least canuot complain of the United States trying to prevent England from still further increasing tne aeuc we owe it He puts the case between the two coun tries as follows : "But as between the United S'ates and ourselves, we have two nations confronting one another, in the clear and prominent relation of debtor and creditor (for they are our largest debt or and we are their largest creditor), and over a period of mere than twenty years no inconsiderable chapter in the commercial life of progressive na tions in a progressive of the money measuring their mats of debt to .us has steadily grown and grown to nearly double its former lig ure, and threatens, with the con Grin a tion and extension of the gold stand ard, to grow still more. It seems in credible that Englishmen should lec ture tbe United States in sorrow and anger from tbe creditor's standpoint, and not even see that the Tacts ol tbe case turn their argument dead against themselves. Tne English nation has no wish to be dishonest, any more than the American nation.

The Republican managers have real ized for weeks that they were stead'ly losing ground by a diMUHslon of the money question, and today they real ize that they are whipped on that if-feue. The big leaders are now conferring about attempting to shifting the cam paign on to the taritl and other Issups. They realize, however, that this would be a doubtful experiment at this stage of the campaign. It would show thir weakness, and be such a confession of the fact that they will resort to it only as the last desperate hope. That is. tbey will resort to if they think the loss by such an attempt to hlft the is sues will be less than the Iofs they will suffer by continuing the campaign on the money question. LATEST GOLD SCHEMES. Mark Hanr.a and the manager? of the goldbug'.campaign are thsmselves beginning to realize that they Lave overdone the boodle campaign busi ness. They are beginning to learn that their open and ilagrant use of an immense corruption fund to influence the election has aroused the indigna tion of American manhood, and is re- against them with terrible force. They now see that there is no hope of influencing enough individual votes with their boodle to bov the elec tion for McKinley. Therefore, they are seeking in a new way to make their money enective. There are strong rea sons to believe that their last scheme is to try to buy tbe election officers in tbe doubtful States, atd especially in the large cities to tamper with the re turns on the evening of election day. This is a very dangerous move, for while the great masses of the Ameri can voters cannot be bought and in fluenced by money there are always a rew who can be. Iforeiore, the peo ple should see that the truest and most incorruptible men are on tbe election board, and besides, there should be an organization cf strong men at every voting place, from the opening of the polls to the closing thereof and the counting of the votes on election day to see that no fraud is commuted by election officers. LI KB TUB DEVIL QCOTINO SCRirTCKK. The programme of Mark Ilani.a call ing upon all those who favor McKin ley and protecting American honor to exhibit tbe American flag on October the 31st is the most outrageous act of the campaign; but it is iu line with tbe deception and hypocrisy which the gold men have always used to bide their nefarious purposes. When tbev attempt to curse the people with a dis honest, dollar, they try to hide their real purpose by c alling it an honest dollar; when they attempt to stab American honor, liberty and prosper ity by turning over the management of our affairs to foreign syndicates. they attempt to bide their real pur pose by claiming to stand for the na tional honor. Thev are etrivinc in this campaign to have the American people say they cannot have a finan cial system such as they want without the consent and permission of foreign nations, and yet Mark Hanna and Mc Kinley try to hide such betrayal of American interests by calling upon those whose assistance tbey hope to get in such an undertaking to wave the National Hag and claim that they are trying to protect the honor and su premacy of this Hag It would be a more Cttinz emblem of tbe policy of the gold conspirators, and would be far more appropriate ior nauui iu can :. if. - a upon Aiciviniey supporters to noat from their window the English flag, which be and bis British allies would have to triumph over the American flag, that emblem of our national hon or which he is trying to use to deceive Americans into voting for BntHh rule. It is another case- of tbe Devil quoting Scripture.

It is well known that the purpose of the proposed anti-option law was to prevent eculatiin from thus bulling and braritjf the market t-rl.-e of Amer ican staple products. This law was fought by th.we who have trade im mense tortures in speculating upon the trt'durtS I' reduced hv American pa I en purposes would not have oc curred. While this anti-option law was be fore Congress, more than one strain speculator ou Wall strt-K we forced to admit heft re congressional inresti. gat ion committees t ha the combined speculators, known a bull and bears had it in tteir power to reverse the natural law of rupply ai.d demand. regulating prior, aha U even fcrce up -rice ut the lace i an tncrraed crop, or to decrtae price in the face of a Blu rt crop whenever it was to their pe cuniary miereat to uo so. .o one uetnes tooay that a few men control the money market, and some of Uee men have boasted thai, they cculd produce a panic al pleasure, and we have had sad xprrit-iice to prove that they couJ 1 make good their bost. 1 he same kind of combination todai to a certain extent eontrol the nc of farm product. When a money paric occurs, it is simply proof of the power of manipulators in money ; when a spurt in products occur it is simply a proof of the power of the speculators who never produce a bushel of wheat or corn or oats, or a p?und of cotton, to control prices of farm products, produced by farm labor. You ask me wbat effect the rise in wheat will have upon Bryan votes. I answer that it i an object lesson in favor of Bryan that can have no other effect but to increae bis vote. Tbe farmers understood tbe evil effects of speculation controlling the price of their product when they petitioned Congres for the anti-option law, and tbey alo thoroughly understand who prevented them Irom getting P. Tbey understand the evil effects of a corner in money wbn tbey are now joining in fighting McKinley and the gold standard and supporting Bryan. Tbey understand, too, that no matter what ever temporary rise comes from specu lation in the price of wheat tbey get no benefit from it, because tbe wheat has already pasf-ed out of tbeir hands. Circumstauces force the farmer to market his product immediately after gathering, but even where there is a farmer here and there who may have some wheat he will find if be tinder- takes to !!"-r it on the local market to day that be could not realize the prices quoted on the stork market. The wheat farmer understands that these spurts in Hie price of wheat never benefit him, as the cotton farmer understands that cotton goes up jvist about plant ing time instead of selling time. A panic in tbe ruooey market, and the sale f more United States bonds, would today clearly h in Bryan's fa vor, a thit unparalleled speculation in wheat will be in bis favor. In short, our reports for tbe last two weeks have been showing an unusual rise in Bryan stock, especially in tbe grain-producing States of tbe Central West; and this object lesson of Wall street speculation in tbeir product will catifce Bryan etock to more than keep pace with tbe rie in wheat."
