On the 10th day of October, 1892, the
Following telegram was sent out from
Atlanta and published far and wide
throughout the land:
Is Tom Watson's mind weakening
under the strain and excitement Of the
campaign? That question is being asked
all over Georgia today. Recent develop
ments IN the campaign In the Tenth
and Watson's wild utterances have
caused many men who are the little
ccngressman's friends to fear that
something is wrong with him. His wild
fake in summoning armed followers
from far and near to protect him and

followers to declare a boycott against

seemed to cap the climax. There are
grave fears that, the campaign has been
too much for Watson. I .1l1
The papers of the state are full of
this inquiry. Watson's physical strength

which he is passing, and his advice to
his followers 20 shoot down the Demo-

like talk is taken as evidence of mental
weakening as well''
That this report was ill founded, ,Jif
not indeed, a gratuitous prevarication

proved by his subsequent success both
as lawyer and as a farmer. Just what
effect his most recent polit elevat ton
will have uponst this remarkable man of
the big BRAIN, the weak body and the
vehement spirit remains to be seen.

Thomas E. Watson, the Populist NOM
= inee for theavice presidency, is another
instance of the young man in politics
He is not yet forty years of age, hav-
< ing been born in Columbia county, Ca,
Sept. 5, 1856. He received common
school education and was then sent to
s Mercer university, Macon, Ga. At the
. end of his sophomore year he left col
1ege, probably because of lack of funds,
and for two years engaged in school
: teaching Afterward he read law in
the office of Judge w. r. McLaws, of
Augusta, Ca, and was admitted to the
) bar, commencing the practice of the
profession in November, 1876.
In 1878 he was married to Miss
Georgia Durham, and several children
were the result of the union.
Mr.. Watson's political career COM
menced in 1882, when he was elected to
the Georgia legislature on the Demo-
cratic ticket. In 1888 he again took a
prominent part in politics as a Cleve-
land presidential elector for the state at
large.
He was elcted to the Fifty-second
congress as a Democrat, receiving s. 456
votes as aginst 597 votes cast for An
thony E. Williams, the Republican
nominee. He served only one term in
congress. being succeeded by James c.
Z. Black, who was elected as Demo-
crat, watson having identified himself
with the peoples party He also ran
as Populist for the Fifty-fourth con-
gress, but was again defeated by Mr..
Black
The various controversies and loren
sic wars that were waged by Watson
and Black in the course of their cam
paign form an interesting page in
Georgia politics. Both of these con-
testants for congressional honors are
hot-blooded and bellicose, and both are
possessed by that variously defined
quality supposed to be essential to a
fight-"nerve."
newspaper account of one of the
many Watson-Black encounters so fully
sets forth the politics and character
of Tom Watson, as he is Familiarity
called, that the insertion of it here is
not inappropriate. The article was a
bit Of correspondence, dated at Craw-
feFdsville, Ga, Sept. g. 1892. Here it is:
The joint debate between Tom Wat
son and Maj. Black, the candidates for
congress from the Tenth Georgia dis
frict opened here today. People came
from all sections of the state. Special
trains were run. Farmers drove to
town from fifty miles around, some Of
them making three days journey to
get here.
The debate was held under the great
oaks in the yard of Liberty hall, the
home of the late Alexander H
Stephens A stand had been erected
under the spreading boughs of one Of
the largest trees, and a crowd of 5000
enthusiastic Democrats and third par
tyites crowded around.
HIS CAMPAIGN METHODS.
Mr. Watson opened the debate and
spoke for an hour. He pitched into
the Democratic and Republican parties
and their candidates, declared that the
Democrats had tried to disgrace Alex
ander Stephens, as they were trying
to disgrace him, and eulogized himself.
Watson attempted several dramatic
effects, at one time saying that he
would talk if he was killed for it, and
at another denouncing as a reckless
and Infamous liar" any one who de-

points higher, January selling on the call
at s06c and S.27c, but the improvement
did not last. The same influences that de-
pressed prices yesterday were at work
to-day, and prices sagged slowly, but
without reaction, until January had sold
at size. The close was quiet, with Sic
bid for January. Large quantities of cot
ton are being delivered daily here upon
October contracts, and the buying power
in the present condition of business is in
adequate to sustain the pressure of the
offerings. The German bears again ham
mered prices vigorously and met with lit
tie resistance. We rather expect lower
prices in the immediate future, although
we are confident of a higher market in the
