that the intention of his faction was to
fuse with the republicans and name nom
partisan independent ticket. If a fusion
is effected upon such lines as will COM
mand majority Of the support of the re-
publicans in the county, it is likely that
the fusion ticket will win.
The plan so far outlined is to concede
certain offices 10 the republicans, who will
concede offices to the straightout faction,
including two members of the legislature.
These two men will be call men The
regular democratic party of the county
seems undisturbed, and have not changed
their plans, but will nominate straight
ticket from top to bottom. In the meet
ing to-day it was charged that some Of
the members of the electoral ticket were
gold men, and would not support Bryan
and Sewall, and for this reason it is not
known how far the disaffection will ex-
tend. It is possible that the silverites of
the state may yet name separate cleo
toral ticket.
It is improbable. however, that any of
the electors would vote other than for
Bryan and Sewall, having been pledged
50 to vote by a resolution OF the state ex-
ecutive committee TO ratify the Chicago
nominee and platform.

WATsON1s BOLD FACE.
Democrats Must Swallow Him, or
Drop the POpulists.


Augusta, Ca, July 2s.-Hon. Thomas E.
Watson is disposed to put a bold face
on the situation, and to bluff it out with
an independent air.
He puts the democrats on notice that
If they do not want to vote for him for
Vice President they need not swing on the
populist gate. If they are ready for a
fair division Of the electors so is he: if
not. then two sets OF electors will be
put in the field. and the devil take the
hindmost.
The editor Of the Augusta Chronicle
addressed a note to Mr.. Watson request
ing his idea as to the proper solution of
the problem growing out of the nomina-
ton by the populists of himself instead
of Mr.. Sewall for Vice President. The
plan suggested by Coin" Harvey, in his
correspondence to the New York Journal
was enclosed to Mr.. Watson with the
request that he make any suggestion or
amendments to that plan. Mr.. Watson's
reply is brief and is as follows:
thomson, Ca, July &.-E. B. Hook
Editor Chronicle, Augusta. Ga. Dear Sir:
Unless Sewall retires, l know of but two
plans: First, two district electoral tickets
one Bryan. and Sewall. the other Bryan
and Watson. Second, one electoral ticket
composed partly of democrats and partly
OF populists. The executive committee of
the populist party must decide on the
plan. Yours truly, Thomas E. Watson"
Commenting on Mr.. Watson's replV. the
Chronicle will say editorially, tomorrow.
What agreement may be entered into in
other states where the contest between
the democratic and republican party is
close, we cannot say, but we have no
hesitaney in asserting that no combina-
ton between the democrats and populists
Will be entered into in Georgia. Georgia
is democratic state and her electoral
votes will be cast for Bryan and SewaT.
1t matters not how many other tickets the
folly of partisan politics may put in the
field"
All Of the political talk now is based on
the vice presidential problem. and some
favor fusion or anything else that win win
but in Georgia, where the war against
democracy has been conducted so bitterly
with Mr.. Watson as the dominating spirit.
in the populists party and in the Tenth
district, of which Augusta is the prin-
cipal city, where the hottest of the fight
ing has taken place in three Blackwell
son campaigns, the democrats are in favor
of lighting a straightout fight for BRYAN
and Sewall. leaving the populists and MIR
Watson to do as they please.

STATE COMMITTEES CALLED.
Executive and Advisory Committees
Meet Aug. 3.

Meet Aug. ,.
Atlanta, Ga, July 2S-Chairman Clay
of the state executive committee to-day
issued a call for a meeting of the state ex-
ecutive committee and the advisory COM
mittee named by him last week, to be held
at the Kimball House, on next Monday
Aug. 3, at noon.
The joint meeting of the two commit
tees will be for the purpose of consulting
and mapping out the details of the cam
paign. The meeting of the advisory COM
mittee was to have been held on next
Friday, but since determining to call the
executive committee together, Chairman
Clay thought 1t advisable to postpone this
meeting, so that both committees could
come together at the same time While
nothing has been given out by Chairman
Clay to cause that impression, it is be-
lieved that one of the important matters
to be discussed by the states committees
is the policy to be pursued by the party
toward the ticket put out by the st. Louis
convention. The sentiment among DEM
ocratic leaders, as far as it has been ex-
pressed here, is in favor of standing
squarely up to the Chicago ticket without
regard to the st. Louis nominee
1t is more than likely that the commit
tee will adopt a definite policy along that
line.

PUT EVERYTHING OFF.
The Railroad Commission Must
Have Found Atlanta Hot.


Have Found Atlanta Hot.
Atlanta, Ga, July 2S.-At the meeting
of the state railroad commission to-day
action on the proposed order by the COM
mission reducing local rates to correspond
with through rates as cut by the Sea-
board. and threatened to be cut by the as
ISOLATED lines, was postponed until some
future date.
A resolution was introduced by Commits
sioner Crenshaw providing that in case
the theatened cut of so per cent. was put
in effect by the associated lines, then the
commission should pass an order reducing
local in corresponding degree, but at his
request this was laid on the table to await
the outcome of the injunction case made
by the Port Royal and Augusta yester-
day before Judge Simonton in South Car
olina-
The commission also postponed the
hearing of applications for a reduction on
brick and coal rates until Aug. 4. STRAIT
ton & Co. of Macon applied for a reduce
fion of rates on brick, and the postpone
ment was granted on the request Of the
railroads interested, who said that they
could not meet such an application with
out time for preparation.
Commissioner Crenshaw introduced a
new schedule of coal rates, making a 50
per cent. general reduction, and this was
put on for the same reason.

On the same night two negroes named
Ira Ward and Jim Brow fought a duel
with pistols near HatOm and had il not
been for interference, both would have

man was the cause of the affray.
clever catch of an escaped convict
was effected by Sheriff Joiner of this cOun-
ty and Sheriff McGregor of Montgomery
county last week. Some time last year
a negro named Josh Johnson was en-
ployed by Garbutt Bros. at their lumber

day met Mr.. Frank Garbutt and shot at
him with pistol. but fortunately missed
his aim. Mr.. Garbutt offered 500 for his
arrest. He was also an escaped convict

Atlanta, Ga, July 2S.-The weekly crop

of crop conditions.
The combined influence of high tenn

Brunswick, Ga, July 28.-The greatest
political sensation the Eleventh district
has had in long time commenced to
unfold to the public at Waycross last
night, as reported exclusively In the Morn
ing News of to-day through the Bruins
wick correspondent, who. being aware of
such a movement, took last nights train
for Waycross and caught the item in
the opening round.
The sensation referred to affected the
democracy of the Eleventh congressional
district, as represented by that sterling
young democrat, Hon. William G. Brant-
ley of Glynn.
The movement against Mr.. Brantley
had its inception in the minds of several
free silver men on the day of the St. ST.
mons convention, when the letter of de-
clination of Hon. Henry G. Turner was
read and Mr.. Brantley was unanimously
nominated On that day the Morning
News correspondent was given interviews
showing the views of both silvertes and
gold men on the conventions action. At
that time there was a feeling amongst
the silver men present that Mr.. Brantley
was at heart a gold man. At that time
man of the district executive committee
gave the Morning News cor
respondent an interview, in which
he stated emphatically that
no one not a believer in the gold standard
as advocated by Mr.. Turner in congress
could have been nominated at that con-
NentlOn. Inc fapldlty or changes from
Mr. Turner to Mr.. Brantley, resolutions
passed. Endorsement of Mr. Turner's
course in congress and the interview given
out by Mr.. Pendleton ranked sorely in the
minds of a few silver leaders bur they
Were so dumfounded at these same chang
es that it was some days before outspoken
murmurinGs became frequent. The pledg-
ing of Mr.. Brantley TO the Chicago plat
form in advance of it's adoption bv the
st. Simon's convention and the prompt ac-
ceptance of il in letter ringing with party
loyalty by the nominee. had much to do
with keeping down feelings of strife in
the hearts of many but again, unfortlln-
ately. the believers in the gold standard
pressed their views before the people. and
by publication of cards and letters the
signing of n manifesto favoring the reDllb-
cratic presidential nominees citizens of
Lowndes county famed the smoulderins
flame of antagonism against any past or
present belief in the gold standard that
might still exist in the district. AS Iown-
des county seemed to be the center of
the fight against the silver sentiment. and
as Mr.. Brantley has ardent supporters
there, who were instrumental in his nor1i-
nation, 1t soon became apparent that he
would be made the object of the attack
As Mr. Brantley was and is thoroughly
in accord with the party, as expressed in
the Chicago platform, and declared in
in his letter of acceptance this
seemed almost unreasonable, but with
memories Of the wrongs they believe they
have suffered in the past from believers
in the gold standard in the Eleventh dis

with a persistency born Of determine tion
to exact a pound of political flesh for every
pound OF IKE matter exacted from them
