ATLANTA. Ca. Oct. 2S.-Hon.
Charles Frederick Crisp, speaker of
the Fifty-frst and F'ifty-second con-
crosses, died at Holmes .sanitarium
here at Las o'clock this afternoon.
A paroXsym of pain in the heart pre-
coded death, the paroxysm resulting
from a rupture of the heart as the re-
suit of fatty degeneration.
Judge Crisp came to Atlanta six
weeks ago for treatment He was then
suffering from a case of malarial fever
which had developed in his home at
Americas.
He spent June, July and part of Aug

HANNA's ASSERTIONS.

CHICAGO, Oct 23.-Chairman
Hanna of the Republican national
committee today issued state
ment in reply to yesterdays bulle-
tin from Democratic headquar-
tiers, in which workmen were ad-
vised to ask their employers for
contracts insurlng them against a
reduction of wages in event of Nc
Kinley's election. Mr.. Hanna says:
1T is suggested that employers
bride their worknen to vote for Nc
Kinley by promising them higher
wages, or a continuance of their
present wages. In the event that
the employers will not be coerced,
then the employee is TO vote for
Bryan. not because he believes
Bryan is the best fitted for the
presidency, or represents principles
that will advance the interests of
the American people. but because
his employer may not deem it a wise
business policy to sign a cort tract
in the matter of wages This is
simply melting the workingman to
exact a bride before he will vote 1t
ID nv oHSSCSlCQ lndl AS W ScN-
erned by any principle. Plainly
speaking, they are advised to in
form him that he must bride them
in the matter of wages, or they will
vote against his interests. 1t has
always been my opinion that the
interests of the employees and their
employer are identical. AS I said
in a recent statement, I do not be-
lieve workingmen are foolish
enough or slavish enough to be CO.
creed; nor do believe they are des-
potic enough to atetmpt to coerce
their employers.
This seditious bulletin is in
tended to foment trouble between
capital and labor. [ would advise
the workingmen to vote according
to their conscientious opinions. If
they have any business to trans
act with their employers, they can
do it better upon business than upon
political grounds But 1 am not
surprised at this development in the
Bryan campaign. 1t has been evil
dent for some time that it was the
intention of the Bryan managers
to create labor troubles as Part
of their plan of campaign. And this
is an open step in that direction.
They would precipitate d general
strike before the election. Men who
would connive to destroy peaceful
relations existing between capital
and labor are none too good to do
even worse

NASHVILLE. Tenn, Oct. 23.--Populist
candidate Thomas Watson was met here
today by National Populist Committee
man Washburn, in conjunction with local
Populists. and held a conference lasting
several hours. All those in the confer
ence are very close-mouthed about what
was done.
Mr.. Washburn said he simply laid be-
fore MIR. Watson the result OF his con-
ference with Chairman Jones. He said
since the conference with Chairman
Jones fusion had been refused Populists
in several states and, therefore, nothing
of any import occurred today. He said
that things would remain in statu quo
to the end of the campaign.
Candidate Watson spoke here tonight
to an audience of a thousand. He re-
iterated his opposition TO fusion and at
tackled Mr.. Sewall. He said he proposed
to do all he could 10 elect Bryan. but
could not, without violation of principles,
assist in the election Of Sewall.
