he, ''is an exact duplicate of the one
fought there four years ago. The chances
for Republican victory, however, are
more favorable In this campaign than
In the last. Then there was no split In

Watson made his third and last speech In
Kansas here yesterday afternoon. and
left last night for Colorado, via Ne
braska. Watson had a talk in the hotel
Office this morning with some Of the
looa Populists, in which he said some
harsh things about the ticket in Kansas.
'tYou must be for me or for Sewall, +"
said he eve are not both on the Popu.
list ticket, and am the one you must
support If you are Popuiists. I could
have had fusion In Georgia and Texas If
/ had wished, but I refused to allow 1T,
and now do not propose to have 1t ID
Kansas II can help 1t. We must stand
up for principle II we are to win."
A large crowd gathered, and there was
much confusion for time. but Watson
walked away with the remark:
"Kansas cannot silt on the fence and see
the procession go by. She must be with
us in the fight"
There were 1000 persons In the wig
wan when Watson entered it this after
noon, but an effort to give three oheers
for him failed Of response. He spoke fol
more than an hour, and repeated in sub
stance the statements he had given il

Mr.. COCHRAN IN CHICAGO.
He Addresses Two Grcat Audiences on the
Silver Question.

Chicago. September 12.-The Audito-
rum holds 1000 persons. Three times
that number were turned away tonight
unable to secure admission to hear W.
Bourke Cockran's address on sound
money. As it was, fully 5000 persons
were unable to obtain seats crowded into
the hall, fling every nook and Granny of
the first floor and balcony.
The others were directed to the armory
of Battery D, where the managers, antici-
pating the crowd had provided for an
overflow meeting. The Auditorium
meeting was presided over by ex-Judge
William A. Vincent, and the stage was
crowded with Democrats and Republi-
cans, sido by side. To give the list of
shese would be to name the leading
merchants and business men of Ohica-
go.
Judge Vincent wisely made only a
short speech. and then introduced Mr.
Cochran. The appearance of the ex-
Tammany man was the signal for tre-
mendous outburst OF applause, which
delayed the beginning of the speech for
several minutes.
Mp. Cochran had been indisposed, and
at first held..his voice under restraint, as
though saving 1T, but as he went on be
gradually let himself out and before he
had spoken ten minutes he was at his
best. The applause was frequent and the
attention paid to the orator was close.
