Montgomery, Ala, October B.
Il. f. Kolb and P. G Bowman, Tor
mer Porahsts leaders in this state,
recently announced that they had
abandoned Watson and would stump
the country for Bryan and Sewall,
and democratic congressman. The
Peoples Tribune, of Birmingham,
followed them and hoisted the Brv-
an and Sewall ticket. The campaign
committee of the Peoples party for
the state had meeting at Calera 10
day and announced to all parties
concerned that they repudiated the
paper as any longer their organ,
charged Kolb with bssely betraying
the party, being an emissary of the
enemy and working for the election
of the down-east mOnopolist, Sewall,
and recommended that he be deposed
from the executive committee.
II Tom Watson was as unpopular
in Georgia as Sewall is III Maine, the
Populists would give him a pension
to retire from polltios.--Advanoe

whisky Flowed Freely.
and Did Its Work WeIl-Taggart
Completely Turned Down.

The Democrats and Populists yesterday
selected a fusion candidate for Congress
from the Seventh district at Franklin in
the person of Charles NJ. Cooper, of this
city. This means that the sound-money
Democrats will nominate a s~traight-out
Democrat for Congress In this district and
the fight will be a three-cornered one be-
tween Overstreet, Cooper and the National
Democrats. For this latter nomination the
names Of John w. Hoffman, Evans Wool
len and one or two others are mentioned.
The Populists and Democrats held sepa-
rate conventions. The former did nothing
but appoint a conference committee, make
a weak bluff at insisting upon the nominal
ton of II. c. Barnett, of Franklin. and dis
playing a willingness TO accept any Of the
men before the Democratic convention ex-
cept Bailey. When Cooper was nominated
the Populists invited him to come over n
tell them what he thought OF himself. and
when he did so they nominated him by ac-
clamation-
The Democrats held their convention in
the new Pythian building. where a COM
modious hall was at their service. The del
egation from this county was largely COM
posed Of a riotous element and a number
became very much intoxicated before they
arrived there. The contest before this con-
vention lay between Leon Bailey and c.. NJ.
Cooper. Bailey's friends claim to have got
the worst of 1t before the committee on
contests appointed by the county commit
tee. Their plan was to have Taggart pre-
side over the convention, but the conven-
ton would not have it that way. and
brushed this once great politician aside in
merciless fashion. II even camay very near
h~umiliating him by appointing a new dis
trict chairman, and would undoubtedly
have done so had he not been present on
the stage and raised his voice against it.
The convention brushed aside the work Of
the contest committee and appointed a
credentials committee of its own,
which gave Bailey considerably the
worst of ii. The first test
of strength came upon a ballot for chair
man, which was never finished, but went
far enough to demonstrate that Bailey was
defeated. Mr.. Taggart was a candidate for
chairman. but received no votes. The
Bailey forces continued their fight until the
noon adjournment, and then acknowledged
their defeat. though they voted for their
man upon both the ballots taken. Cooper
won out on the second ballot, having a
margin of two votes over the necessary
number. The convention neglected 10 make
it unanimous.
Outside of Thomas Taggart and the can
didates there was hardly a man from In
dianapolis in attendance who is known out
side of his own ward. The whilom leaders
of the party in Marion county nave either
gone over to the National Democrats or
taken to the woods.

SIDE SHOW.

and Gets Their IndOrse ment.
The Populists spent a rather dreary day
in waiting upon the pleasure of the Demo-
Gratis. They went down with the inten-
ton of fusing upon anybody the Demo-
Gratis might select except Bailey, though
they, of course. preferred H.. c.. Barnett,
of Franklin, who is a ~straigint-out Popu-
list and was asking for the nomination.
They went into session almost Immediate
ly after their arrival with about forty men
present. The only business of the morning
was the adoption of a motion to appoint a
conference committee of nine to confer
with the Democrats on the subject of cam
didates. This motion contemplated five
men from Marion county and four from
Johnson. and they were appointed as fol-
lows: W.. p. Atkinson, William ("TaIky
Bili') Patterson, Harrison Ogborn, c. S.
Scoield and Allen Jennings. of Marion. and
r. S. P~arkhurst, W. f. Polk, James K.
Mathis and ]. W. Hunt. Of Johnson. Then
the Populists waited and waited and talked
each other to the point of exhaustion. and
then went over and sat around the Demo-
cratic convention. Their hearts were light
ened at noon, when the Democrats, just
before adjourning. appointed a conference
to meet them. Inc PopuliStS
had agreed 10 hold out strong FOR Barnett.
but after ~wranging for a long time N the
conference committee they agreed that
either Barnett, Landers. Stuart. Moon or
Cooper would be acceptable. Thus they con-
tributed in some slight degree TO the de-
feat OF Bailey.
They had another long wait until the
Democrats had made their nomination. and

groggy at the Union Station at S O'Clock
