The populists of Georgia have their
eyes on Maine. They are pinning their
hopes on the withdrawal of Sewall on

plans of Watson that IL Sewall finds that
his state has rolled up an increased ma-
jority against democracy he Will am
nounce that he is of the ticket. They
have never accepted the repeated state

would remain upon the ticket. They have
counted all statements OF Mr.. Sewall that
he positively would not retire as merA
bluff.
