Soys That Gorplan WiH Not SltppGGat
HIM ia the Leadership.
CHICAGO. Ill, Sept. l7.-When Chair.
man Jones reached his room at Democratic
National headquarters this morning be
made the following statement:
''The report appearing in q Chicago
morning paper to the effect that Senator
German will from now on be the practical
head of the Democratic National Com nit
tee is an unfounded and malicious false
hood, known to be false when It was
written and known to be faisehood when
it was printed. There is no foundation
whatever that / am to retire from the act
i've management of the campaign; that
Mr.. Bryan's programme is to be changed
and that the campaign in the Eastern
States is to be abandoned"
Senator Jones construed these reports
to mean that 1.-THE gold standard cause
was in desperate straits, and issued the
following order:
.Hereafter the PRONUNCIATION of political
news from these headquarters will be con-
fined TO those papers which are inclined
to treat such information fairly and i'm
partially"
The Senator said, from information and
observation during his Eastern trip, he
felt confident Mr.. Bryan would carry New
ORR new jersey, OtihWaTei maryland
and the Virginias, besides every State
west and south of the Ohio River. Senator
Jones declared that Mr.. Bryan's tour in
the East was being made with the full con-
sent and cooperation of himself and the
National Committee, and so lar as Senator
German was concerned he was acting in
full accord with the committee, doing all
he could to increase the maiorities ex-
pected in the Eastern States mentioned.
Based on the present outlook, as vie wed
from Democratic headquarters. the press
bureau gave out an estimate bv States as
to the Bryan maiorities in Novem ber
These estimates give Mr.. Bryan thirtv-six
of the forty-tive States with 324 electoral
votes, leaving out New York and New
Jersey. Illinois is claimed by 45,0O0 In
diana $4,000, Iowa 10000 Wisconsin, &c, 600
Minnesota $4,000, Michigan 10000, Ne
hraska 10000 Missouri 10000. North
Dakota is not claimed. e
Chairman Campau of the cam paign
committee said regarding the Sewall re-
ports;, THE suggestion of his withdrawal
from the ticket from any cause and for
any purpose is too ridiculous to consume
Lime in discussing. He viii remain can
didate, no matter what happens"

WATSON OF GEoRGIA SPOKE
Eatogized Bryan to Hts audiences In
NEBRASKA.


ALMA, NEBR., Sept. 17.-Hon. Thomas
z. Watson of Georsia reached here about
midnight last night tired out. Following
the example of his running-mate he made
speeches along the line from Lincoln to
this place. A big crowd greeted him al
Hastings and elsewhere, to whom he
made short talks. There was an immense
crowd here this afternoon, this being a
Populist community, and many farmers
came from other counties. Mr.. Watson
spoke rapidly and forcefully, with enough
fire to keep the audience interested. He
did not contine himself to any one topic,
but passed over the whole Populist plat
form. He urged the members of the
party to stand firm for the ticket and eu-
logized Mr.. Bryan and the Nebraska State
nominees.
1--WE do not look for any help from the
East and North" said he, because the
people there are dominated by the money
power. That was shown on Monday in
the Maine election. Then where must we
look? To the South and West? Your in
terests are the same as our own. You
have bankers, you have railroaders, but
they are In the minority in the South and
West"
Mr.. Watson insisted that he was in the
fight to stay and predicted victory. He
was literally applauded throughout his
address and was followed by local Popu-
list leaders. Tonight Mr.. Watson spoke
to the old settlers at Republican City and
left from there for Colorado.

BLOCKED BIZ PoPULIsTs.
Scheme of Fusion in Indiana Meets With
Hitch.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Sept. 1.-THE
scheme of fusion between the Democrats
and Populists was blocked to-day by the
Populists. The sub-commitlees of the two
organizations failed to agree after session
OF two hours in the afternoon. The Popu-
lists demanded seven of the fifteen cleo
tors and the withdrawal of Sewall, while
the Democrats were willing to concede but
four OF the electors, and demanded the
withdrawal of the Populist State ticket
AS soon as this was reported back 10 the
committee of thirteen, to which the Popu-
list State convention had delegated full
power in the matter of electors, this COM
miitee decided that il was not worth while
to negotiate longer, and adopted resoiu-
ton that full ticket of electors be put in
the held.
