AN oRLEANIsr CONFERENCE.

The Count of Paris Refuses the Ad-
vice of His Adherents.
LONDON, Aug. s.-A meeting of promi-
nsnt members of the Orleanist party has
been held at the residence OF the Count of
Paris. The plans of the party we're
thoroughly discussed, and although it is not
known whether any positive course OF
action was decided upon, much important
work was accomplished.
DIsOoNTENT AMONG THE COUNTS FOL-
LOWERS.
The conference added emphasis to what
has been known for some time past to OBJ.
servers of the political movements IN
France and Of the intrigues in other
countries looking to the re-establishment
Of the monarchy with the Count of Paris at
its head. that there is increasing discomfort
among the counts adherents. This feeling
is due to the refusal of the Count of Paris TO
adopt a policy of greater activity by him.
His adherents believe that the movement
Of which Cardinal Lavigerie is the leader,
looking to an alliance between the republic
of France and the vatican, is assuming pro-
portions that threaten the success of the
Orleanists' plans, and they urge the Count
of Paris to adopt policy that Will coun-
teraet the effects Of the Lavigerie move
ment upon their scheme.
DECLINED TO APPEAL TO THE POPE.
One OF the influential supporters of
the monarohist movement, M. de
Bourbon, member OF the French
Chamber of Deputies, who at
tended the conference, urged that the
Count Of Paris should visit Rome and make
a personal appeal to the pope In support
Of his claim, or at least to secure
from his holiness a promise that he
would withdraw his consent to the policy
advocated by Cardinal Lavigerie. The
Count Of Paris declined to accept the pro-
posal. De Bourbon also urged the count TO
issue manifesto calling upon the clergy to
rally around the standard Of the Orleanists,
but the count also declined to entertain
this proposition, declaring that he would
leave that to an Orleanist bishop. The
| count held that time would show the policy
OF Cardinal Lavigeris to be an impossibility.
! The republic and religion, he declared, were
! opposed TO each other, and it was impossible
to reconcile the differences between the re-
public and religion.

WATSON A DEMOCRAT.
HE AvOWs HIS POLITICAL FAITH
AT LAST.

He is Taken to Task at Milledgeville
by Capt. Newell-The Democratic
Party Declared an Angel of Mercy
Watson Wants the Democratic
Platform Amended, Broadened and
Extended.
MILLEDGEvILLE. GA, Aug. S.-Con-
gresham Thomas Il. Watson addressed the
farmers alliance at the court house here to-
day. A great crowd. including many per-
sons from the adjoining counties, greeted
the speaker. He gave couple of hours to
discussion Of the Ocala platform, which
demanded, he claimed, pure Jeffersonian
democracy. Mr. Watson severely
criticised and pointed out the errors
Of the Democratic party, while
his arraignment OF its leaders was about as
severe as could have come from an avowed
enemy. He denied that he was In favor Of
a third party, but admitted that the Ocala
platform was much better than the demo-
cratic platform. He reiterated all that he
SAID IN his speech at Atlanta, and behind
his words there appeared an unspoken ap-
peal for new party.
A VIGOROUS PROTEST.
During his speech a rather dramatic
episode occurred in the shape of a vigorous
protest against his teachings. Capt. T. f.
Newell, u staunoh alianceman and a
gentleman of distinguished ability, was
seated in the audience. Several times dur
ing the speech he propounded questions to
the speaker. He felt that Mr.. Watson had
gone TOO far in his attack on the Democratic
party, and finally. rising from his seat,
asked him for a moments time.
ALLIANCEMAN AND DEMOCRAT.
Capt. Newell stated that he was an alli-
anceman, and was in favor of the demands
made by the Ocala platform, aud advance
ing toward the speaker bespoke Of what the
Democratic party had done for the SOUTH
of how IL stood like an angel of mercy
against Ethe Ecrueties of reconstruction,
and yet one speaking in the name of
democracy could find nothing good in
it. He admitted that the party had
committed errors, and its leaders made
mistakes, but IL was not unlike every other
cause. Winding up, he said that he could
not sit still and hear the party that had
done and promised 80 much for the south
attacked. and the motives of its leaders i'm
pugned and, standing close in front of Mr.
Watson, with his hand raised above his
head, he exclaimed with glowing eloquence:
MAY my tongue cleave to the roof Of my
mouth and my God deliver me to the un-
godly, when l fail to defend it from such an
assault"
AN ABLE DEFENSE OF DEMOCRACY.
He spoke for probably fifteen minutes,
and with an elequence that has seldom been
heard here, with tue fire flashing from his
eyes aud an able defense of the democracy
| flowing from his lips. The sceno was a
democratic one, indeed.
AS soon as quiet was restored Mr.. Watson
av0wed that he was democrat who simply
wanted the democratic platform amended,
broadened and extended.
The gentlemen agreed ON that, and after
that all was serene.
