-PeatAieal News Notes.
Atlanta. Nov. 1.-THE letter Of ac-
ceptance written by Tom Watson ac-
cepting the Populist nomination for
vice president was made public yester-
day. Seven columns of watson's paper
are devoted to it. The letter is supple
mented by four columns of advice to
Populists to sit steady in the boat and
hold their party together" The edi-
torial tone Of the paper is one Of full
filled prophecy. Watson declares that
the failure of the Populists to support
Bryan in the close states brought about
Mckinley's election. He goes into a
long review of the circumstances lead
ing to his nomination at St. Louis. and
says he accepted the vice presidential
nomination because / said I would"
He declares that if the St. Louis Popu-
list convention had nominated a
straight Populist ticket 1t would have
been elected. 1t would. he said. have
driven the Hills and Germans where
they belong-in the Republican ranks
and the organs and BANDS would
have Joined with the Populists.
Gives Butler Raking Over.
He complains bitterly of the treat
ment ne has received at the hands
of the Populist leaders. and addresses
himself particularly to Senator Butler
in this way: Senator. a reform has
no right to exist if it has no valid
complaint to make. Populists cannot
denounce the sins of the two old par
ties and yet go into political co-partner-
ship with them. The moment we make
treaty the war must cease And when
we cease our war upon the old parties
we have no longer any excuse for liv-
ing. Whenever fright compromises
wrong it is the right which suffers.
The Democratic managers seem to re-
sent as a strange piece of impertinence
the fact that the Populists dared to
nominate ticket differing at the rear
end from theirs. Coming to them with
the 2.oOo,C00 votes they were begging
for and piteously needing. I can saw
with a perfect assurance of telling the
unqualified truth that my arrival on
as heartily as Butcher was received by
Wellington at Waterloo.
Wanted the Troops but Not Blucher.
They want my reinforcement, but
they do not want me to lead them.
They need Blucher's troops, but they
draw the line at Butcher. That is
hardly fair either to Blucher or his
troops; nor is it the best way to de-
feat Napoleon. For this attitude upon
the part of the Democratic managers
i believe that you, senator. are large
ly responsible. You made no effort to
have me recognized. You publicly
stated that 1 would not be notified OF
my nomination. You went into the
fusion policy over my written protest
with all the zeal of a man who wanted
to elect the Democratic ticket In this
i think you were wrong. As chairman
of the Populist committee the party
certainly expected you to do all you
could to elect the Populist ticket.

To Secure the Withdrawal Of SewalI, the
Georgian Says.
Had you demanded Mr.. Sewall's
withdrawal from the ticket he would
have been withdrawn. 1 have n let
ter of yours in which you state that the
Democratic committee expected you to
make the demand. but that you did not
make it. From the perversity Of tenn
per with which the Democratic mana
gers have refused to do the right thing
by the Populists il would seem that
they prefer McKinleyism to anything
which might seem to be partly a Pom
ulist triumph. Their subtle purpose is
to couple the Bryan election with the
complete destruction of the Populist
party. The position taken in this letter
will be bitterly assailed. Would that
the pathway of duty were carpeted
with flowers: 1t rarely is.
BY making myself and the great
Democratic politicians to wipe their
feet upon I could win much applause
from that quarter. But IL were now

pected of me when chosen / would

No one regrets more profoundly than
do that the Democratic managers have
so shaped the campaign that the south
has again been told that she must
grovel in the dust and let an eastern
plutocrat put his foot upon her neck.
Nor does any one regret more than
/ do that the Democratic managers. in
shaping their fusion deals. have consid-
cred those Populists only who are get
ting loaves and fishes. They have lost
sight of the great army of privates
whose honest hearts and sincere souls
form the strength of the reinforcement
Mr.. Bryan needs. These Populists of
the rank and file have the spirit OF cru
saders, and they would die for a prin-
ciple more quickly than they would sell
it. These men will not vote for Sewall
nor for Sewall electors II Senators

Funeral of Mrs. Daniel Smith.


The funeral services of Mrs. Mary,
widow of Daniel Smith, took place at
the residence of her daughter, Mrs.
Woodstock, No. 179 Bradley street, yes
terday afternoon, attended by many
friends of the deceased and of the FAM
lily. Beecher & Bennett were the fun
eral directors. The interment was in
Mapledale cemetery.
The deceased was born in Guilford,
Conn, in 1918 and was a lifelong resi-
dent there until twelve years ago, since
when she has lived with her daughters
in this city. Her two children, Mrs G.
l.. Williams and Mrs. ]. r. Woodstock,
are left to mourn a loving, devoted
mother, besides two grandchildren,
Miss Monroe of Providence and Mrs.
Norton of this city; also several great
grandchildren, who were as dear as her
own. She was a kind friend to the
poor, ever lending helping hand to
those in need. Many friends will miss
her loving smile and words of cheer.
Think of us, dearest one while Ger
Life's waters we seek the land,
Missing thy voice, thy touch and the
true helping of thy pure hand,
Till, through the storm and tempest,
safely anchored just on the other
side,
We find thy dear face looking through
Deaths shadows, not changed,
but glorified.

the league to specially inquire into the

that 80 per cent. of the Italians locate
