why He Reversed His Decision Regasd-
ing Going on the Ticket.
New YORK, July 29.--Thomas E.
Watson, candidate for vice president
on the Populist ticket, in Telegram
from Thomson, Ca, to The Herald,
says:
sour executive committee must decide
the question of dividing electors. If
Mr.. Bryan accepts our nomination and
Mr.. Sewall should retire, Texas Popu-
lists would probably be content with
Bryan and Watson, even though Bryan
did not endorse all the platform.
81 was absolutely sincere when / said
would not accept either place on the
Populist national ticket. After the
convention met and the fusion strength
developed it seemed that our party
would be swallowed up by the Bryan
forces, and to have gone into the prosi-
Dental campaign with no Populist ma
tional ticket meant death TO the Peo-
ples party.
"The Georgia delegation then tele-
graphed me, urging me to allow the
use of my name to harmonize the fac
tions and save tho party. l consented
and l will abide the consequences
When l said / would not accept did
not dream that such crisis could pos.
sibly come upon our party"

than in other seasons.
