A. Q. 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."
". Populists Endorse Bryan. '
Huron, July 15. The Populist state
convention today, after a discussion of

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,
