Sewall's Star is Sinking.

In his speech in Portland, after
the result of the Maine election be.
came known, Mr.. Thos. B. Reed
said:
81 told you some time ago that
Maine would beat her record and
she has done it, and the First dis
trict has beaten its record. The last
time 1 spoke here 1 invited you to
do this, and now you have done it.
I don't think you did this because
told you to, fer have noticed that
you have ideas of your own and are
amply able to carry them out. By
this election you have cleared up
some trouble for the Democracy.
Their ticket has had two appendages
so far, but this election will assist us
in removing one Of them, The star of
Sewall is sinking and the star of
Watson is rising, but as neither Of
them IS Of the first magnitude we
cannot tell just where they are until
we have time to take other obs erva-
tons"

creeds see to it that their Senators
and Representatives gives their sup
port to the measure, and demand OF
them to know the reason why. The
support will be forthcoming, for there
are no vslid reasons for Withholding
it,
Let US attend to this business as
earnestly as the saloon keepers at
tend to their side of the question.
Our interest should be far greater
than theirs, and our zeal far more
ardent. We have more at stake
than they hsve-our homes, our
affairs and our children are involved.
The noblest interests of Georgia are
at stake, both present and future.

will recommend that the proposition
of the Populists to fuse on this basis
be accepted. He will recommend
also somewhat more liberal conces
sions to Tennessee.
There are three straight tickets in
the field in Florida, and as result
of the conference an effort will be
made to merge the Democratic and
Populist tickets. There will be an
attempt to get the two parties to-
gether in Alabama, Louisiana and
Texas. In Texas there is a move
ment on foot looking to fusion be-
tween the Populists and Republicans.
Senator Buffers influence will be
exerted to prevent this.
The situation in Kansas received
special attention. Some of the Pop
ulists in this State are dissatisfied
with the arrangement there, which
they claim would result in giving the
electoral vote Of the State to Sewall
and ignore Watson. Mr.. Butler is
investigating the situation with the
hope of securing better terms for the
Kansas Populists.
1t is understood that Senator Jones
promised to give attention to the sit
ustion there and to use his good
offices with the Democrats to secure
some concession for the Populists on
the electoral ticket of the State in
case it should appear advisable to do

Watson Captures the West.

From Our Washington CORES pondent.
Hon. Thos. E. Watson, Peoples
party candidate for vice president, is
making strong impression in the
West, where he has been canvassing
for the last two weeks. He is q acted
as putting the defeat of Mckinley
above every other consideration in
this fight, which is truly the highest
and most patriotic position that he
could possibly take. He and Bryan
are two of the finest stump speakers
in America, and represent the peo-
ple's side in this fight as well as any
other two men in America could. A
telegram received at Peoples party
headquarters from Hon. J. FL. Edmis,
ten, chairman of the Peoples party
State committee of Nebraska, says:
"Hon. Tom Watson of Georgia made
the strongest speech at Lincoln today
that has ever been made on Nebraska
SOIL"
Your correspondent understands
that complete union OF the silver
forces has already been made in
about two thirds of the States, and
that the outlook is good for accom-
pIishing the same results in nearly all
the other States. These combina-
tons ars made not only in the South
and West but also in the North and
lin New England.

Editor Peoples Party Paper.
Your paper is making brave
fight for prohibition, and we believe
the growing sentiment in favor OF
this grand and noble cause is some
what due to your good work done
on this line. Let the voice of every
prohibitionist 60 forth independent
Of party, independent Of everything.
These are true words and ought to
be the sentiment of evsry prohibit
ZIONIST in the state. We believe the
next legislature will pass the Anti
Barroom bill, but we are confronted
with danger and every citizen in the
grand old state of Georgia would do
well to stop and think seriously be-
fore voting in the October election.
This is written in tbs interest of no
party, but as this is year Of inde-
pendent thinking and voting and we
are fighting for our tiresides and
and affairs, for our God and our
native land. So let every citizen
and church member think as to
whether honest man can vote for
whiskey or not. We don't think he
can. Hurrsa for the honorable men
who are working Tor this great and
honorable cause. May Gods bless.
iugs attend them ard his omnipotent
hand crown them with success.

Wright at EatOnton.

Editor Peoples Party Paper.
The Hon. Seaborn Wright ad-
dressed large audience in Eatonton
September II, His speech was o
vote maker IN the fullest sense of the
word. Over fifty Democrats tore
off the party collar and declared they
will wear it no longer and will vote
our ticket. Wright's speech and
Atkinson's secret circulars have
played the wild with Atkinpon's
ducks here. Christian ladies were
heard to say Atkinson ought to be
drummed oul of the state. There are
only six hundred and fourteen reg
istered voters in this county, out of
that number only forty-six are
negroes. We will get a good vote
here. Three cheers for Seab and

WHAT ABOUT GROVER C. e?


Conference Between Chairmen
Butler and Jones.
Leaders of the parties supporting
Mr.. Bryan held several importan
conferences last Tuesday in Wash
ington. The Baltimore Sun says:
Senator'S Jones and Butler devoted
two hours TO the question of fusion on
presidential and vice presidential
electors. The failure of the Demo
Gratis and Populists, in many of the
States, especially in the South, to
agree upon the same electoral ticket
was discussed, and it is understood
that the ohairmen were agreed upon
the necessity Of impressing upon the
members of the two parties in the
discordant States that they should
get together as soon as possible.
They went over the differences in
Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina,
Alabama, Kansas, Florida, Texas and
West Virginia, and agreed upon
line of action to be recommended in
each State.
In Kentucky and West Virginia
Senator Jones agreed that the de.
mauds of the Populists for two elec.
tors in each was reasonable, and he

This is Mr.. Higginson's arst trip over the

NEW YORK, N. r., April ia
London dispatch says; A profound SEN

medical practitioner who was recently
muIcted in heavy damages for betray-
ing the confidence of one Of his lady
patients, and who was identified with
his wife's family, the betrayal also in
volving charge against the lady,
which was quently disproved by
medical evidence at the trial.
Public indignation against DR.. Play
fair has been unusually strong, and
consequently Mr.. Gladstone's letter,
in which he says he was greatly dis
tressed upon learning of the verdict,
and explicitly sets forth that he has
continued confidence in DR.. Playfair,
and that the latter did not seem to have
done more or less than his duty, has
created decidedly painful impression,
and given impetus to the reports that
have been recently banded about to q
considerable extent, but have been
suppressed in print out Of considera-
ton to the venerable ex-statesman and
his family, that his mental faculties
are becoming imp aired. and his idios-l
yncrasies and eccentricities proper
