SENATOR BUTLER'S VIEWS ON
CO-OPERATIVE TICKET
Wagera on Bewail Dropping 4nt.
Boa lb Carolina Election. Honey
for Campaign Purposes. Gov
ernment Employees Stirred.
Journal Bureau,
Washington, D. C. Sep'., lltb.
Senator Marion Butler, the shrewd
chairman of tbe Populist National com
mittee, uses more diplomatic language
when discussing the subject than Tom
Watson does, but he makes it plain to all
who talk with him about it that to lar as
the Vice Presidential nomination is con
cerned be and Tom Watson are working
towards a common end the substitution
of Watson's name for that of Sewall on
the regular Democratic ticket.
Senator Butler said on the subject:
There is a stroDg feeling in the South
that there should be a co-operat ivc ticket.
one composed of men who fully share
each other's views on the great issues of
the clay, and stand together in every way
as lepresenting tlie masses ol the people.
In Bryan and Watson there is a co-oper
ative ticket. It is'tt belter silver ticket than
Bryan and Sewall. I believe that hull the
Demociats are satisfied that a mistake
was made in nominating Sewall. It will
be admitted on every e:de that the Popu
list parly is entitled lo the Vice Presi
dency.'' When it comes down to expressing un
opinion as to whether Sewall will be
withdrawn Senator Butler declines, with
u smile which leaves little doubt ol bis be
lief that he will bo. There are also plenty
of Democrats in Washington who believe
that Mr. Sewall will be withdrawn, not
withstanding the continued assertions ot
bis intention lo stick. The Republicans
say it isn't a question of what tlie Demo
cratic managers want to do, hut of what
they must do, or give up all hope of car
rying several states which the single
ticket of Bryan and Watson would be
reasonably certain of carrying.
Nothing is ever certain io politic, but
at this time a maj iri.y of the politicians
in Washington, regardless of party, are ol
tbe opinion that Mr. Sewall will not be
toted for in November, and that Tom
Watson wijl be; a number of wagers have
been made on the dropping of Sewall.
Seuator Tillman isn't the first person
nho has devoted so much time to outside
missionary work that they have lost con
trol of their own household. It was until
a short lime ag3 supposed that Senator
Tillman's word nas law with a majority
of the voters of South Carolina,' at least so
tar as political mallei were concerned..
The def. ut of Gov. Evans for the s at in
the U. S. Senate now held by Mr. Irby
has excited much comment in Washing-
tou. because it was known that Gov.
Evans was supported by Senator Till
man, who is now making silver speeches
among the Pennsylvania cool miners.
The politic;aus do not seem to under
stand the mutter at all, and are in doubt
whether it means Tillmnn's overthrow as
a politic d boss it merely oi e of these
knockdowns which are occasionally ad
minUterei! to the bosses of ihe people.
Money is in great demand at tlm Bryan
headquarters. This week, in addition to
the appeals which have b eu made by
the DemicraU, the Populist National
committee issued one, asking Populists
for subscriptions of tl.UO nud upwards to
help pay the expenses ol the campaign.
Tbe Issuing of Bryan's letter of accept
ance and bit coming second ir'p East,
have served to enthuse tbe D. mo. rats to n
coosideruble extent. The Arkunsas elec
tion, tr.o, although tbe result was txpic-
ted, has played an active part in restoring
ihe Democrat io confidence nbivb wus
considerably dampened by the political
happenings of last week.
If the Eaiplojees of the Qoveiumml
depart m ntt at Washington had Ihe
election of President in their hu.ds thai
cluu-ef Mr. Ilriati's letter which do's
with tlie ilvil service wuld clve ids
friends much uneasiness, for Mr. Bryan
makes It very plain that he thinks the
"oula' might be given a chance at these
offices without impairipg the efficiency of
the public service. . No milter how bit'
ter a parti-uu the aver ige small-fry otllce
holder may b.-4 when lie first comes to
Washington bis tlesjru to continue lo of
fice very soon fur outs. eh, In his partisan
ship and his parly intarcit becomes
swallowed up In bis nK-intcrest.
This U especially liua under 111 civil
service reforn law, whUh it supposed to
keep a man in olfne niter lie once uels in.
Tim hint ol ifr. Bryau's that they won't
be kept lo oillca If he win, lias stirred up
a regular boru' t's ne4 in. the depart
uisut, sod b i i. questionably added to
tht ou.nl er of those lo office who don't
want hlra to be elected; but, Inasmuch at
lb fnrao hint bat probably been effica
cious In making him new friends among
tho who would like to All government
ppiltloos, he has on the whole most like
been largely the gainer by putting It is
kit letter of acceptance. ,
' It was reported early this week, and
generally believed, Hint tcveial prominent
official! lad been askel by President
Ulevelsod for their resignation, because
they bad been niaklD; speeches for Bryan
and freo silver, but up to thl writing tbe
report hat not beta officially confirmed.
Poisoned al a Wedding.
De8 Moines, Iowa, At the wedding
of J. C. Tombs and Miss Emma Bender
son at Bondurante wholesale poisoning
occurred.
Immediately alter the wedding a din
ner was served to about seventy five
guesU. Nearly all of them were poisoned
by something they had eaten, supposed to
have been chicken p:e, cooked in coar
vessels.
A number quickly recovered, but
about twenty were in u dangerous condi
tion till Most of Ihe-e are now out
of danger,
Physicians" Were sent for from Des
Moines and It is reported that all will
recover, with the posiible exceptions ol
Mrs. Rothrock, James O'Brien and Mrs.
H; ad Henderson.
Claims For llryan.
Chicago. J. Q. Johnson of Kansas,
a member of the Democratic national exe-
cative committee relurnel to Chicago
headquarters from a two weeks' lour
throughout Minnesota, the Dakota",
Nebraska, Colorado, Utah, Kansas, and
other Western States, He sail'; "Minne
sota will go lor Bryan, beyond doubt.
Even the leading Republicans of that
Stale privately concede the election of
Mr. Lind, the silver fusion candidate for
Goviinor." J
Mr. Johnson added that the Bryan (an
tiiutnt in l he D.ikotas, Nebraska, Uiab,
and Colorado was so strong that it was
only a question nf majorities. He made
the sweeping assertion that tlie Democrats
would carry every Wtstern State by over
whelming majoriliis.
Chairman Campau, t't the campaign
committee, said the private advices wMeh
he bad received from Michigan indicated
the free silver tide was risiug in that State
at a tremendous rate, and poiutcd lo a big
majority for Biyan.
A letter from John S. Bronck, chair
man of the Democratic county committee,
of Rochester, N- Y., states the silver sen
liuient among farmers andvotkinginen in
that section of the State was simply
amazing.
