Atlanta, Oct 17.-1n response to Il tel.
eBram asking him what decision he had
reached relative to making public his let
ter of acceptance Thomas II. Watson wir-
ed the Atlanta Journal as follows:

turn before taking any action. THOMAS
Il. WATSON"
The special correspondent of the Jour
nal at Thomson, the home of Watson, tel
egraphs that the most important of all
the political conferences held in.Thomson
has just come to Il close and two distin-
guished Georgia Democrats who partici-
pated in it are now en- route to Atlanta.
Major j. w. Robertson and Judge John
j. Hunt were in consultation with Wat.
son until u late hour, when they retired,
spending the night with Mr. Watson
The consultation was resumed this morn
ing and lasted until Il few minutes be-
fore the train left for Atlanta. Various
rumors are loat us to the object and re-
suit of the consultation, but all parties
participating say that they have nothing
TO say for publication.
This much, however, can be stated au-
thoritatively. Mr.. Watson will meet SEN
ator Jones, chairman of tho national
Democratic committee, in Atlanta next
Monday. Senator Jones has been notified
by telegraph that the meeting has been
arranged, and he has answered that he
will be i'll Atlanta on Monday. 1t is fur
Their known that the object of the meet
lngs was to talk over some plan by which
fusion could be perfected in this State,
and the best information Obtainable is
that the distinguished Georgia Demo-
Gratis have discussed it at some length
pleasing to Mr.. Watson, and all indica-
tlons now are that in Il short time Mr.
Watson will be actively stumping the
State of Georgia for William J. Bryan.
1t is not known whether or not Mr.
Watson has changed his position on the
question of fusion, but it can be safely
predicted that some arrangements salts

If not satisfactory, at least such as he
will tolerate and give his active co-opera.

MI Watson still refuses to make
known his letter of acceptance and saws
that it all rests with Senator Butler
whether or not the letter is ever given
to the public.
AS result of the conference held last
night Mr.. Watson telegraphed to Gov.
buchanan, of Tennessee, asking him to
postpone any definite action on the fusion
question until next Monday. Gov Buch-
anhn was in consultation with Mr.. Wat
son yesterday and left for Tennessee on
the noon train. He was to issue some
Kind of manifesto to the Tennessee
Populists next Monday, but Mr.. Watson
has requested that he delay action until
after the Atlanta conference.

HIS FIRST SPEECH.
The Postmaster General Holds Forth on
His Native Heath.

Charlestown, Jefferson county, w
Va, Oct. 1I.--Postmaster General Will
son made his first speech in the campaign
here this .afternoon. The meeting was
held in the courthouse, where a large
crowd had gathered to greet him, which
was composed largely of Republicans
gold Democrats, ladies and negroes.
When he entered the courtroom he was
given grand ovation, which lasted for
several minutes. No one introduced Mr.
Wilson. When he arose to speak the
crowd cheered him'loudly. In his speech
he made strong appeal for the gold
standard and was cheered repeatedly in
the course of his remarks. He denounced
the Chicago convention and platform on
which Mr.. Bryan was nominated and said
it was nothing on earth but II Populist
convention and Populist platform and
that it was almost an exact copy of the
Populist platform of 1892.
He said the convention was run by Till
man and Altgeld, both of whom were
anarchists and Populists When he men
ticned Mr.. Bryan's name the crowd
cheered it loudly. An organized gang
stood in the rear OF the building when
Mr. Wilson first started to speak and
kept yelling for Bryan so much that the
police had to he kept in the building to
Keep the crowd quiet. Mr.. Wilson said
Mr. Bryan was an eloquent speaker, an
able orator, IN extremist, and entirely
too young IL man to be President of the
United States. He spoke for over two
hours and quoted large number of
authorities He said he was not n potter
from the Democratic party and that on
the third of November he would vote for
six Democratic electors and not for two
Populists and four Democrats, as - large
number of people in his county were 90
ing to do. In the course of his speech he
paid high tribute to Secretary Carlisle
and President Cleveland, both of whom
he said were honest and faithful servants
OF the Democratic party and were no
more traitors to the party than Gen.
Robert b. Lee to the Confederate army.
