IN TO STAY.
Watson Says He'll Be in Race
From the Start.
Will Run on Democratic Ticket
Whether Sewall Withdraws or Not.
Texas Populists Will Support Major Mckinley
TO the End.

New York, July 27.-The World prints
the following telegram from Thomas h.
Watson. under date of Thomson Ga.
July %:
To the questions asked me | reply as
follows:
IL will run the race to the end
Il will make the fight even if Mr.
Sewall does not withdraw.
My opinion of the sd Congress
which was arranged in my book, has un-
dergone no change.
Al am not a political trader and will
not resign in Sewali's favor even if
offered cabinet position.
Having answered your questions, please
allow me To state briefly my reasons for
the replies to questions Nos. | and 2:
allowed the use of my name TO save
my party from extinction.
In my opinion. the continued existence
OF the Peoples party IS Indispensable to
the success of free silver. For me to
withdraw would be for me to sign the
death warrant of my party. Ours is the
party of free silver, and we maintained
that principle while the Democratic party
in 1882 and 1853 was making war upon it,
do not think our party should now close
up and quit business simply because the
Democrats have partially duplicated our
sign board. If the Democrats are so un-
reasonable rs to refuse us Populists of
the south any recognition at all. that fact
would show that the real purpose Of their
apparent adoption of our principles is to
Kill our party and not to enact those
principles into law. II the Democrats
az N4ilt'if my VIII not llg 10 put upon
us such terms that every man in our
party at the South Will feel insulted and
Inundated.
If Mr.. Bryan lid not want our support
Senator Jones had no business at ST
Louis at all If Mr.. Bryan does want our
support. he ought to be willing to adopt
the policy which VIII most certainly as
sure him that support. ana that policy is
to accept as a running mate a Southern
PopuliSt named by tho unanimous voice
Of the Populst national convention.
our party has gone to the extreme limit
OF generosity in the effort to procure a
union of the silver forces. We did not
claim first place on the national ticket.
we are content with the second.
If now the Democrats should scorn our
overtures insult our party and demand
that we bury the Peoples party before
they will accept our aid they and they
alone will lac responsible for the triumph
of the gold standard and the Republican
party
The Populists have gone as far in the
direction of concession and surrender as
they can safely go. Sef-respect self
preservation and the preservation of our
principles demand halt. and we halt.
II the Democrats will listen to the die
tates Of moderation and fair play we
shall have n mighty coalition of the
South and the West. which will sweep all
before it. But if they are so arrogant and
unreasonable as to demand that every
thing shall he surrendered to them and
that we shall disband our party before
they can accept our aid in the cause of
free silver. then We shall stand to our
colors and fight it out.
