That Posrer Remains With the National
and Not the ErecatsUe COMMITTEE.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 17.-An er-
roneous impression exists that the Popu-
list committee meeting called for to-mor-
row is one of the National Committees,
when it is simply meeting of the execu-
tive committee, consisting of nine men,
bers, as follows: Marion Butler of North
Carolina, chairman; M. G. Rankin of In
diana, treasurer; ]. A. Edgerton of Ne
braska, secretary; George f. Washburn OF
Massachusetts,, III. E. Reed of Georgia,
DR.. @. f. Taylor of Pennsylvania, ]. R..
Sovereign of Arkansas, John w. Breiden-
thai of Kansas, John 8. Dore of California.
Messrs. Edgerton, Reed and Washburn
are already here.
The principal business will be the selec-
ton of National headquarters and the
mapping out of plan of campaign. 1t
may be determined to call meeting of
the full National Committee for some
future date to consider matters over which
the executive committee has no jprisdic-
ton. The executive committee can take
no action looking TO the removal of Mr..
Watson as a Vice-Presidential candidate
and the substitution of Mr.. Sewall, having
no authority in the premises. The Ma
tional Committee alone could take any
definite action in the matter.
No prediction can be made as to the
selection of headquarters. The Eastern
and Southern members OF the executive
committee are said to favor Washington,
while the Western men are favorably dis

instance being based on accessibility OF
the point. Five of the nine embers live
nearer Chicago than Washington.
Committeeman Reed of Brunswick, Ca,
says that his State is all right as far as the
Populists are concerned. There is no danger
of Mr.. Watson being Withdrawn, as he is
their candidate and will continue to be So.
Mr.. Reed expresses great satisfaction at
the manner in which Mr.. Watson replied
to Chairman Jones, to the effect that the
Populists should form combination with
the negroes, as they belonged together.
While not knowing whether the chairman
had intended these sentiments for publ
cation, he felt inclined to the belief that
they fairly represented his opinion.
Mr.. Butler is not expected to reach here
before tomorrow, just in time to attend
the com mittee meeting.
The Republican committee is preparing
extracts from all of Mr.. Bryan's free trade
speeches delivered while member of the
House, and Will issue them as campaign
document. A large number of requests
have already been made for the publica-
ton. Several letters received state that
the speeches will prevent many of those
believing in free silver from voting for
Bryan if it can be demonstrated that he
favors absolute free trade.
The Democratic headquarters were de-
serted to-day, none of the officials having
returned from their Sunday outings.

upon the water. On the southern bank of
the lake platform will be built and there
the rockets and bombs will be sent into
the clear night air, for Stockton always
has perfect nights IN Septem Der.
At Goodwater Grove ON September s
and 10 there will be baseball games be-
tween teams picFed from the best players
in California. On the afternoon of Admis-
sion day there will be State champion
ship meet of cyclers. Already a number
of the flyers are here to train for the races.
Oscar Osen of San Jose was the first to ar
rive and will enter in all the professional al
events. The track will be put in the pink
of condition and some records will prob
ably be lowered.
Great pains has been taken by the sub
committee having charge of this branch of
the work to provide accommodations for
the visiting parlors and for individuals
who have requested that rooms be secured
for them.
Following is a list of the locations
secured as headquarters for the various
visiting parlors: Stanford Parlor, No. rs,
of San Francisco, and Oakland Parlor, No.

eral OF the floats that are to be used in the
water carnival will also be used in the
street parade, and viii lend attractiveness
to the pageant.
One of the most active committees is
that having charge of the water carnival
Tonight Chairman Grant announced the
names of those who would assist him.
They are: w. w. Westbay, Ralph P. Lane,
Charles J. Haas, George ]. Becker, Bert
Lewis, A. V. Wilbur, NJ. J. Music and W.
E. O'Connor There will be four principal
floats in the water pageant. and they will
be very elaborate. Besides these there will
be seven smaller ones. Most OF the money
at the disposal of the committee will be
expended on light.
McLeod's Lake will be the principal
scene of the water carnival. 1t is an ideal
spot for an affair of this kind and is stu
ated in the center of the city. On enc
side is a fringe of willows, which will be
filled with hundreds of Japanese lanterns.
The effect will be as beautiful as fairy
land.
Last year at the Fourth of July carnival
seats were arranged on the northern bank
of the lake and sold at high premium.
This year there will be nothing of the
