WILLIAMS & POPULISM TRIUMPHS What Secretary Turner Says of the Convention. DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS PURGED He Claims Bryan Has Bran a Populist Two Years The Platform Fits Him In Krery Respect. Washington, July 15. J. H. Turner, secretary" of the (national committee of the People's party, baa issued a state ment to the public. It says : "The result of the late national Dem ocratic convention is undoubtedly a triumph of Populism. A large portion of the voters in the Populist party in the South and WeBt were originally Demo crats, and left the old party because it was dominated in every convention by the eastern Democrats who represented Wall street and the monopolists of New York and New England. The Demo cratic party has pnrged itself, reorgan ized itself and come out for true Democ racy, and to all intents and purposes, substituted the Populist platform for the old platforms that the party has been using for years and which were dictated and foisted upon the people by the gold bugs of the East. "Bryan, the nominee of that conven tion, is a man who fits the platform. For more than two years be has acted with the Populists ot his state. It can not be successfully denied that the prin ciples advocated by the Populist party have captured the Democratic party and have driven out of its ranks that ele ment which from the beginning has been affiliated with the Republican party as its natural home. "We have advocated the union of the South and West in order that we might bring about the necessary financial' re forms. Now we have a chance of bring ing all our hopes and our desires to a grand consummation. The truth of it is that the only point we now have to de 41- IN ALL DEPARTMENTS cide is whether or not they will take Bryan, whom every gold bug in the country has denounced as a Populist, for our next president of the "United States, or whether they will take Mc Kinley, who represents everything the Populists have denounced and just the opposite of everything they have advo cated since they have been a party. Looking at it from this standpoint I feel that in the election of Bryan Populism has triumphed, and when I say Popu lism I mean the great common people of the United States, and should McKin ley be elected the classes have tri umphed, the English gold standard has been permanently fastened upon the lines of industry in this country and there will be nothing left for us bat serf dom that will undoubtedly bring on a bloody revolution in the near future." .A BTATEJUNT BY HABBITI. Will Not Surrender His ConTlctlons Daring- the Campaign. Philadelphia, July 15. W. A. Har rity returned today and was at his desk in the office of the Equitable Trust Co., of which he is president. Earrity was not disposed to express himself regard ing the democratic platform or candi dates. He did, however, make the fol lowing statement : "Since my return to Philadelphia my attention has been called to the report from Chicago during convention week and I had declared that 'I am a demo crat, and after that I am for sound money.' There is no foundation for such a statement. It is a pure inven tion, and the editorials based on it which appeared in some of the Phila delphia, Boston and New York papers are both unjust and unwarranted. I am a democrat and sound money man, too, not afterwards, but at the same time, and I shall do nothing whatever during the campaign . that can possibly be regarded as a surrender of my con victions upon the currency or any other vital question."

BOUND MONEY DEMOCRATS. Seml-Ofnclal Statement by Assistant Secretary Hamlin. Washington, July 15. The Evening Star today says : Assistant Secretary of of the Treasury Hamlin made a short statement this afternoon in explanation of his position regarding the Democratic platform and nominations. Inasmuch as Hamlin represented the administra tion forces at Chicago and has . been in frequent consultation with Secretary Carlisle over the political situation since the adjournment of the convention, the statement by him today will undoubted ly be accepted by many as a serai-official declaration of the position of the sound money men of the administration. This impression is further strengthened by the belief that Hamlin spent several days at Marion, near Gray Gables, on his way back to Washington from Chi cago. The statement referred to ia as follows : - "No political issue is involved in the coming election. The - question to be decided is far deeper and more vital. The perpetuity of Republican institu tions has been threatened, and every loyal citizen should allay hi meelt against the forces which controlled the Chicago convention, forces of lawlessness which are inconsistent with ' the maintenance of the republic. Henceforth there should be no Republicans, no Democrats, but a union of loyal citizens against the combined forces of repudiation and dis order. When once this dangerous ele ment has been stamped out at the polls by an indignant people, we can again divide and discuBB these political ques tions, which for generations have kept alive the two political parties, 8EWALL IS CONFIDENT Believes the Disaffected '. Democrats Will Come Back Into the Fold. Syracuse, N. Y., July 15. Arthur Sewall of Maine, the Democratic nom inee for vice-president, passed through today. He was asked: "What do you think of the action f the Democratic papers in the East bolt ing the. recently adopted platform at Chicago?" "Oh," said Sewall, "they will all eomeback into- the fold. In the - West THURSDAY, JULY 16, the people are enthusiastic over the ticket. Bryan' is a very strong man. I have no doubt that when he presents his views clearly before the people in the East they will be won to his side." Iowa Republicans. Dks Moines, Iowa, July 15.
