WORD TO v A7S0N
Prominent Virginia Populist Asks
Him TO Withdraw From the
Ticket.
AND GIVES MS REASONS WHY
There Is No Possibility for His Being
Elected to the Second
Place.

ROANOKE, Va, Oct. G--Iha Roanoke
Times will tomorrow print an open letter
from g. W. r. Hale, populist national
committeeman for Virginia, to Tom Wat
son, asking tho latter to Withdraw from
the presidential ticlat. The letter says
ia part:
"Hon, Thomas +. Watsou--INrom q
sense Of patriotic duty, write to urge
you to cease your opposition . to fusion
whore the same is generally believed to
be Of advantage TO the immediate sue
GEES Of financial reform, to which you
have 50 far greatly contributed. There
is no earthly chance Of your selection
Ii our cause wins in this race, Bryan and
Sewal are elected. Whilst ""greatly
prefer southern man toi.vote ssfor and
a raan who, like yourself, has been
in the forefront of the hitherto battles
fought for reform, yet | can not
hesitate to support Sewall, not only be-
cause of his availability, but because |
believe that il elected and the opportun-
ity presents itself, Sewall would consci-
entiously carry out the full text of the
platform upon which he is.elected. am
not one who thinks that because Sewall
is at present a banker he is 'obdurate on
the question of national banks. 1 do
not blame an individual, l blame the
law that legislated national banks. You
say a man who votes for :.Sewall
had as well and would as consist
emily vote for Hobart. The former
declares himself ia favor of free coinage
at the ratio or 16 to /, the other one
favors monometallism. Quite diff
ference, my lG to l friend. The former
is willing right now to establish free and
unlimited coinage, the latter is willing
to postpone action until Gladstone and
the merchants government ,,of England
says 90. The former is tangible, the lat
ter is positively not so.
"In conclusion, my dear sir, allow me
to emphasize that your stay on the tick
ct 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."

Big Majority.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct. 6. Midnight
Scattering returns from all parts Of
the state show democratic majorities in
every county, but they afford no basis
for an estimate of Bloxhams plurality
for governor. No comparison of pre-
cincts can be made with 1892, inasmuch
as in that year the republicans had no
ticket in the field In most OF the pre-
cincts heard from, Sheath, democratic
candidate for superintendent of public
instruction, runs far behind Bloxham.
Because of the Australian ballot system,
the counting of votes in the larger dis
tricts will take all night.

II. y. McNair.

B. P. McNair, candidate for the
office Of county commissioner, was born
in Livingston county, N. Y, in 1862,
but WAS brought up in Minnea polls,
MINI. After coming of age he went to
Kansas, where he engaged in business,
and was for six years cashier in a bank
in that state. Mr.. McNair took an active
part in politics while in Kansas, being
at one time chairman of a congress.
sional convention there, and at all times
actively identified with the democratic
party. He came to Great Falls in March,
1893, and has .since that time been en-
gagged in the real estate business. IMr.
McNair is now member of the real estate
firm of Webster, McNair g. Skinner in
this city and is frst-class business
man. His known reputation for integ-
rity and business ability, together with
his general personal character, have
made him q general favorite with all
who have come in contact with him, and
he will make very strong run in the
city and wherever he is personally
known. No more ideal candidate for the
position of county commissioner could
we'll have been selected.

MONARCH, Oct. ga large audience

deliver his inaugural sermon. He talked
mostly to the young people and children
Perhaps no higher compliment could be
paid him than to state that the younger
members of the congregation were de.
lighted with the address and carried
away with them good counsel and good
things to think about for the week to
come.
Miss Florence Crane closed the first
month of school Friday. While Mon.
arch is credited with only 13 children,
she has an enrolment of over 20.
Mr.. Daniel Payne of Mason is laid up
at the home of A. Yule in badly
bruised and generally broken up condi-
ton. In making trip to Ncihart, his
wagon reach broke, throwing him out
and practically overturning the wagon.
The horses ran away and, although Mr..
Payne escaped without any broken
bones, his injuries are SO severe that he
is not yet able to be taken to his home.
Mr.. and Mrs. d. f. Smith were visit
ors at the home OF Mrs. S. NJ Dodd of
Logging Creek Thursday and Friday of

the whole building was in flames.

John, ana the clerk, Andy Matthews,
were sleeping above the store and barely
escaped with their lives. Mr. Matthews
was severely burned and otherwise
bruised and hurt in his efforts to save
Mr.. Lamb, who WAS sick and unable to
save himself. The fire soon spread to
the barn, which was consumed, and
from there to the !Arse new hall adjoin-
ing the store. The piano and few
pieces of furniture were saved from the
hall. All the rest is a smoking ruin.
The insurance is light and will probably
not half cover the loss. Il. w. Lamb
was not at home. He was at iuleyille,
taking care of Mr., Payne for the night.

COUNTY CANDIDATES.

Some Of the Men Who Are Asking the
suilrages of the People.
M. S. Parker, the candidate of both
democratic and populst parties for the
Office Of county surveyor, was born in
Haverhill, Mass. in 1862. He received
his education in Berlin, Germany, whore
he studied in one Of the best scisutific
schools in the country, graduating with
high honors. Mr.. Parker elected TO
follow the profession OF civil engineer
and in the pursuit Of this business has
had large experience. For number of
years he was employed by the Chicago
and Northwestern railroad, Afterward
be entered the service Of the Great
Northern aud located the line Of the
present track of the Great Northern
from Devils Lake, n. D., to Big SANDY.
In 1890 Mr.. Parker came to Great
Falls, and located here ne the consulting
engineer for the townsito company. The
construction of the Black Eagle dam
was carried on under hia supervision
and the most Important engineering en-
terprises in this section of the state
have come under his direction. He ia q
member of the American Society of
Civil Engineers, an honor which only the
most competent and notable men 10 the
profession attain. 1t is needless to say
that Mr.. Parker will bring to the posi-
ton for which he is candidate superior
talents. His qualifications for the position
were SO apparent that both the populist
and democratic conventions nominated
him at time when no fusion was con-
templated.

Miss Josie Mcdonnell. daughter of j.

a recent letter to her father concerning
the ball game between the TUFTS Lyons
and the M~onograms: Myself and several
other friends witnessed the baseball
game between the Tufts-Lyons and the
Monograms and they are not in it with
the Stars. 1t wasn't near as good a
game as was the Stars-Alert game and
everybody's opinion is that if the Stars
play the Monograms the game will be
theirs. We all hope they will come to
San Francisco and show their baseball
ability to the webfoot Oregonians. The
Examiner has been very badly censured
by the city people for the unjust way
they treated the Nevada boys.-Enter-
prise.
