TO SMOOTH wATsON's BROW.
McsSrs. Washburn and Reed Sent South
to Pacify the Georgian.

Chicago, Oct. 1G.-George L. Wash
burn, chairman of the Chicago branch
of the populist national campaign COM
mittee, and II. w. Reed, the committee
man from Georgia and the personal
friend of Mr.. Watson, left for the home
of the latter tonight. At the time of
leaving here Mr.. Washburn had with
the nomination of the party for the vice
presidency. The letter will not, in all
probability, be made public until after
the two gentlemen have had their in
terview with Mr.. Watson.
1t is said on the best of authority that
the actual object of the visit to Mr..
Watson is the desire to have talk with
him over the general situation and to
explain to him several matters in the
conduct of the campaign from the pop
ulist standpoint that have not met with
the entire approval of the nominee for
the vice presidency.
There will be no effort made to get
Mr.. Watson to consent to the removal OF
his name from the ticket in favor of Mr..
Sewall. but there are said to be few
wrinkles in Mr.. Watson's brow that
would look better if they were smoother,
and it is to smooth them that Messrs.
Washburn and Reed have gone to the
south.
In reply to Il statement that Mr..
Washburm had been called down by
Chairman Jones of the democratic COM
mittee and Chairman Butler of the pop
ulist committee and others because of
his insistency in demanding the substi-
tuition of Mr.. Watson's name for Mr..
Sewall's name on the national tcKet,
Mr.. Washburn said: :.
"This is inst n little wilful and mali
cious lie, as is also the statement that
our executive committee submitted It's
reports to Chairman Jones before Is
suing it to the public, or that Senator
Jones had authorized our committee to
make any overtures in the way of cab
met position to Mr. Watson to secure
his silence
"From the beginning of the campaign

insisted upon the recognition of the
rights of our candidate. Mr.. Watson,
and of the interests of the peoples par
ty and shall continue to do so:
"The statement that there has been
any friction with our Washington head
quarters, or with Senator Jones, is also
an infamous lie. My position has been

Mclean Thinks National Democrats

Their Jobs.

Cincinnati. Oct. 16.-John II. Mclean
proprietor of the Enquirer, publishes Il
signed article today, i'll which he argues
mt length for Bryan and free silver, con-
Guiding thus:
"Boiters from the democratic party

election they will have nowhere to go
Mark. the organization, the machinery
all in the hands of the silver men. Look
at New York, where the gold men We're
the strongest, how the followers of Bry-
an have taken possession of all the party
machinery. 1t is we'll enough for Cleve-
land and his cabinet officers to go for
Palmer and Buckner; well enough fol-
some of the very rich men Of the east
and west, but for the ordinary man i'll
politics it is the greatest folly. What
hope of preferment can man have who
bolts the democratic party unless he
goes over to the republican party? Once
there he is on probation, and if loyal,
hard working and strictly partisan, prob
ably in ten years he may get recogni-
ton.

PALMER AND BUCKNER
Given Flattering Reception at Mo-
bile Ala.

Mobile Ala, Oct. 16.-Gens. Palmer
and Buckner and their party arrived
from Montgomery at LAO o'clock this
afternoon, and were met ut the depot by
Il committee of representative citizens
headed by Col. d. Il. Hughes. president
of the local Palmer and Buckner club,
and escorted to the Battle House.
After dinner the ladies of the party
were taken down the bay shell road and
around the city in carriages, while the
distinguished candidates held II reception
in the ladies' parlor of the hotel. On
the way down from Montgomery they
made short addresses at Evergreen,
Brewton and Greenville, Ala, where
there were large crowds gathered to
greet them. They will leave this city at
Z o'clock tomorrow, and will make short
speeches at Scranton, Ocean Springs,
Biloxi. Mississippi City and Bay St.

Gems. Palmer and Buckner were re-
ceved in the Princess theatcr tonight,
which is the largest in the city, by an
audience which, in point of enthusiasm.
surpassed anything of the kind that has
been held here during the campaign.
The stage was decorated with an Amer
lean flag, in the center of which was a
picture of Cleveland. As the distin-
gulSned speakers entered ana TOOK tnelr
seats on the stage the band played MY
Old kentucky Home" which was the
signal for Il perfect ovation from the
audience.
Gen. Palmer devoted the greater part
of his address to defining the position
he took at the time of the Chicago with
reference to the sending of federal
troops to Chicago by Gen. Grant, he
having been criticised last night on that
point by one of the speakers ut the mass
meeting of silver democrats at the same
place. He said he had never been in
favor of federal interference i'll the af-
fairs of the states, and that the occasion
of 1894 and that of 1871 presented en-
tirely different phases of the question.
He also touched on the financial ques-
ton.
Gen. Buckner, upon being introduced,
was enthusiastically received. He pre-
faced his address with severe cXcoria-
ton of the men in the gallery for having,
without provocation and in an unjust
and discourteous manner, interrupted
Gen Palmer saying it was reflection
upon the hospitality of Mobile.
The generals forcible words dashed the
interrupters into silence. and he pro-
ceeded to discuss the financial question.

BAILEY IN ALABAMA.
Texas Congressman Spoke for Silver in
Birmingham.

Memphis. Oct. 16.-A dispatch to the
Commercial Appeal from Birmingham,
Ala, says:
Joseph w. Bailey spoke to an immense
audience at the opera house here tonight.
The building was packed to overlooking,
many people being unable to gain ad-
mission. The speaker was given gen,
uine ovation. His speech was devoid
of criticism of individuals, dealing en-
tirely in argument. The speaker said
that the bullion in silver dollar will
purchase as much now as it did prior to
1873; that it was the measure of money
value that had changed by gold appreci-
ating, caused from there being an insult
ficent supply to do business with. He
thought if gold men could prove that the
gold standard would furnish the most
stable system they were right, but un-
less they could do that, which they had
failed to do, and which conditions have
refuted, they were wrong.
Mr.. Bailey was to leave for Memphis
tonight, but missed the train.

plantation and property ut Sagua were
entirely destroyed. Both men had been
in prison for thirty-nine days, but
through the efforts of the United States
consul at Sagua and other influential
friends they were finally liberated. No
cause was given by the Spanish for
their arrest, their only crime, they said,
being the fact that they We're American
citizens, which, to the Spanish. was in
itself sufficient evidence that they were
hostile to Spain. The Clean brothers
will lay their case before the state de-
partment ut Washington in a few days.
