 WANTS WATSON TO WITHDRAW. Populist Committeeman of Virginia
 Asks Him to Resign.
 ROANOKE, Va, Oct S.-The Roanoke Times prints an open letter from G. ". B. Hale, the Popuhst national commit- teeman for Virginia to Tom Watson, asking the latter to withdraw from the presidential ticket The letter says in part:
 From sense of patriotic duty write 10 urge you to cease your opposi- sion to fusion where the same is gener- ally believed to be of advantage to the immediate success of financial reform to which you have so far so greatly con Sributed There is no earthly chance for your election. If your cause wins n this race Bryan and SewaH are elect ed. While greatly prefer southern man to vote for, and man who. like yourself, has been ill the forefront of the battles hitherto fought for reform, yet cannot hesitate to support Mir. Sewan not only because of his ayaila- bility but also because I believe that if elected, and the opportunity presents it. self, Mir. Sewall would consoientiously carry out the full text of the platform npon which he is selected. I am not one who thinks that because Mir. Sew all is at present banker he is obdurate on the question of national banks do not blame the individual; blame the
 
 law that legislates national banks. If you say the man who votes for Sewall had as well and would as consistently vote for Hobart, the former declares himself in favor of free coinage at the ratio of 16 to |, and the other one fa- yors monometallism. Quite differ snce. my 16 to 1 friend. The former is willing right now to establish free and unlimited coinage, the latter is willing to postpone action until Gladstone and the merchant of England says so. The former is tangible; the latter is posi- lively not so.
 "In conclusion, my deat sir, allow me to emphasize that your stay on the ticket jeopardizes the success of our cause, and that withdrawal on your part would be heralded with patriotic delight by many of our party friends, and largely by those who esteem you as great and good man.
