WRANGLE OVER THE TICKET.
New York State POpulists Wish to
Vote for SeWall for Vice President.

New York, Oct. 16.--Lawrence ]. Nc
Parlan, of Locport, today called upon
Secretary of State Palmer. Mr.. Nc
Parlan was secretary of the last Popu-
list state convention and is the candi-
date for judge of the court of appeals.
The secretary of the state has already
prepared for distribution the sample
blanket ballot. The Peoples party bal
lot Is headed with the names of Will
liam j. Bryan for president, and
Thomas Z. Watson for vice-president.
The Populist state convention held in
the city of Syracuse on October 2, en-
dorsed Arthur Sewall, the Democratic
candidate for vice-president, instead
of Mr.. Watson.
Mr.. McParlan wished the secretary
of state to substitute the name Of Mr..
Sewall for Watson at the head of the
POpulist column as the candidate for
vice-president.
The secretary Of state told Mr.. Nc
Parlan that the Populist national con-
ventiOn has nominated Bryan and
Watson, and that under the election
law of this state. these names were to
be placed at the head of the party COL
umns on the ballot used in that state.
The secretary said he could not recop-
nize the endorsement of Sewall by the
Populist's state convention, but that
the action of the national convention
of the Populist party was binding up-
on him as regarded the names which
shall head the PoDulist column.
