The Populists will not have the pres
Ike of Judge Nugent's name when next
hey shall 10 before the people. Judge
a,uzeht will not be a candidate for gov
-ruor. and II his party admirers in the
fre 81 his opposition, shall nominate
I'm. they will have to conduct the cam
algn without his aid.
This information Is from Judge Nv
rents own lips and it is now published
ALPHABETICALLY for the first time.
Tie report was started few days
1go That Judge Nugent had declared
hat he would persistcutly oppose any
tteAIpt that should be made to nominate
i'm. rhis report emanatcd from L. X.
Erbndn, n resident of Dallas who is lit
ie Known, yet apparently of some i'm
vftahee in the council of the Peoples
nrty. As will be seen from the inter
lew which follows, Mr.. Fonda spoke
orrecuy, though without authority:
Judge Nugent was asked what truth
1erc| was in the report started by. Mr..
nsondn, and he replied as follows:
~"So far as Mr.. Fonda is concerned.
have probably met him; don't know
tIihere; It may have Been here or pos
bly, in Dallas, and it Is likely If l were
zee him would know him as man
la,had met and talked with, but would
" recognize him as Fonda. II had
~ Interview with him on that subject
'e<pressed TO him any of my own
ikhes, i do not recollect II, though II
- more than likely may have talked
him on that subject.
V"About September II / received a let
r from Il. X. Fonda. dated Scptem-
er 10, in which he asks me whether
gould accept nomination for the office
W governOr, stating in that letter he
nd beard that / hnd suggested Colonel
erons Kearby, and that 1 would, I'M
scr no circumstances, accept the nomina-
on. To that letter made no reply
