Edftorialty Roasts Democratic Managers
and Senator StetCart.
CINCINNATI, OHIO. Oct. 15.-A special
to the Post from Atlanta, Ga, says:
Thomas G. Watson says editorially to-
day that it looks as if the Democratic
managers wish to defeat Bryan or else
they woefully lack wisdom, having done
all they could to drive away the Populist
vote.
PIE has been plentifullv dished out to
pie-hunters,' says he. "In North Caro-
lima, Kansas and Colorado Populist prin-
ciples have been ignored and the National
ticket set aside. Bryan is being slaugh-
tered by his own managers. They are
sacrificing him to Eastern money powers
as represented by Sewall and their own
desperate determination to wreck the
Peoples party"
Another editorial roasts Senator Stewart
of Nevada, saying he was party to "the
crime of '73, and calling him "the Breck-
inridge" of the Senate.
