FEELS HIMSELF A GUILTY MAN.
You Did Not Dare to Publish It (the
First Letter. Because You Felt Its
Arraignment OF You to BE IMAM
Swerable.

Tom Watson has been rubbing more red
pepper into the wounds OF Senator Marion
Butler. In his paper hs publishes his an
swer to Butler. and It is without any appear
ance OF conservatism. In his reply Mr.. Wat
son says, In part:
"You did not dare to publish 1t (the first
letter) because you felt It's arraignment Of
you to be unanswerable. Mr.. Washburne's
telegrams Ito which 1 was no pnrty) did not
control you in not publishing the letters any
more than they comfort you now in sup
pressing 1t. The truth is, Senator, you feel
you self to be deeply guilty man--as, in
deed, you are. Instead OF managing this
great campaign in spirit OF broad patriot
ism and courageous loyalty TO your nomi-
nee and party, you have allowed your per-
sonal ill-wilI toward me to divert you into a
tortuous, narrow. jealous and disloyal policy
which has shipwrecked the Peoples Patty
and brought the success Of Mr.. Bryan to a
crisis Of exceeding peril. You now plead
with me to pull you out ofthe hole. shall
do nothing OF the kind. You pecked your
way into 1t and you must peck your way
out.
Senator, you were selected as chairman
to help me with this campaign. You were
expected to act with me and for me. You
have not done so. You have acted without
me, and you have acted against me. In moth
ing have you consulted me. At no time have
you told me Of your plans or your purpose.
I'm all this you may be right and may be
wrong. The committee called of by you to
one side ut Chicago has sustained you and
censured me. Therefore my position is most
painful. The Bryan-Sewall committee is
against me, and the Bryan Watson committee
Is against me. stand alone. But, Senator,
was Populist while you were still camp
Ing with the Democrats and have always
been Middle -of-the-Road Populist, while
you mover have been. A fusionist you have
publicaDs In one campaign and with the
Democrats in the next In this campaign you
have ..bargained with both Republicans and
Democrats.
God only knows which bargain you in
tendto keep.
"As for mo, I turn from you to appeal to
the real true-hearted Populist. II have
sinnsd against pcincipal and right in de-
manding that our party and its nominees and
its creed be represented by the Democratic
party who had come to you for help---ther I
want the party to say so, and will bow to
Its decree. But do not recognize your right
to put mo under the heels OF the Democratic
tricksters and bosses, and shall continue to
claim tha privilege OF speaking and writing
for the national nominees Of the Peoples
Party.
lido not believe that the time has vet como
when Populists will say 1t is treason to be
