RALLY OF THE POPULISTS.
Their State Convention TO Be Held 1t
Atlanta TO-mOTIOW.

A Rumor That Watson Has Made a
Deal to Deliver the Populist Support
In the Fight over the United States
Senatorship In Exchange for Certain
Democratic Influences In His Behalf
In His Race for Congress Against
Mai. Black In the Tenth District.
Atlanta. Ga. May 1.-THE populist
state convention, which meets here on
Wednesday of this week, TO put out a
ticket for governor and state house
officers. promises to be a more important
political event than appears on the sur
face. and all the indications 20 to show
that the populsts have been rapidly di-
minishinr in mum bers since the campaign
OF two years ago. and whatever ticket
they may put in the field is not likely TO
have any very serious effect upon the
democratic side but if the reports be
true. there viii bel series of side issues at
tached to the popuist convention that will
give il q standing in politics. The most
Interesting Of the rumors, and there are
some significant circumstances TO sub
stantiate il. is one that eX-COngressman
Tom Watson. the ideal of the pOpulists Of
the state, expects to make fusion on the
United States senatorial contest that VIII
give him the support Of certain demo
cratic influences that viii greatly
strengthen him in the race for congress
against Maj. Black in the Tenth district.
MIR. Watson has positively declined TO
permit the use of his name in connection
with the gubernatorial ticket. But he
has been mum on the senatorial ques-
ton, though frequently importuned by
his followers and others to become an
active candidate for the place. The re-
ported explanation of his conduct, taken
in connection with his attitude on the
governorship and the exceedingly con-
servative speeches he has been making
recently, is that he is in a com animation TO
quietly throw the populist influence in
the senatorial contest to one of the pres
emit democratic candidates for that place,
in consideration of the support of certain
democratic influences in his congressional
campaign. In order to work this plan
out Mr.. Watson is to pose as
an independent or Jeffersonian dem
ocrat in his race for congress, knowing
he will receive the full support of the
populists regardless of what he calls him
self Mr. Watson, in the slang of the day,
has il in" for Mai Black He would
rather defeat him than be governor or go
to the Senate.
There is very little certainty as to the
head Of the populist state ticket. MIR.
Watson is for Judge Hines, but most of
the other populists are against him. If
he is accorded the nomination it will be
due to Mr.. Wauson's personal influence
with his followers.
The local populists nave completed
their arrangements for the convention.
Their preparatiO are not on an elabo-
rate scale, and, viewed from this point, the
convention is not likely to run over with
enthusiasm or in numbers.

suit Of the election for grand officers. 1t
is conceded that Grand Vice Chancellor
Hamilton Douglass will be elected grand
chancellor. IL is likely that the other
grand officers will be promoted one step

Grand Master at Arms l. Zacharias, on
whom it is rumored there will be a lively
