WATsON's WITHDRAWAL.
Silver Republicans Inclined to Ex-
pect 1t.

BUTTE, Mont. July Ex-senator Mantle
and Representative Hartman have arrived
here. Both say they will support Bryan
because he is a bimetallist and not because
he Is q democrat When the question Is
settled they will be republicans in all things
once more.
While 1 deplore that the populists put
up another ticket" said Mr.. Hartman,
yet think that in thirty days there will
be but one bimetallic ticket in the field. l
think Watson will allow his name to be
withdrawn. The ticket, from a point Of
good politics. must be Bryan and Sewall.
On second thought, Watson and the men
who nominated him must concede this"
Mr.. Mantle said: Il regard the action of
placing an Independent ticket in the field
by the populists very bad politics, as the
populist party has been crying for free
coinage so many years, louder than the
others. 1t is one of their cardinal principles
of faith. believe the vast majority of the
populist party is honest and sincere in the
advocacy of bimetallism, consequently be-
lieve influence will be brought to bear to
get Watson to withdraw.

myself and little band Of $50 were right, or
give up. We had to give up, Of course.
We were not all statesmen and the thouS-
and on the other side were neither fools nor
traitors. We concluded they were right.
