The Georgian Refuses to Recognize
the Right to Place Him Under
Democratic Tricksters' Heels.

ATLANTA, GA, Nov. 19.-The Consti-
tuition will print the following tomorrow
morn ing: Tom Watson has been rubbing
more red pepper into the wounds OF Sena-
tor Marion Butler. In his paper, out yes
terday, he published his answer to Butler
and it is without any sign of conservatism.
In his reply Mr.. Watson says in part:
You did not dare to publish it fthe
first letter. because you felt its arraign-
ment of you to be unanswerable. Mr..
Washburn's kilograms Ito which l was no
party) did not control you then in not
publishing the letter any more than they
control you now in suppressing it. The
truth is, Senator, you feel yourself to be
deeply guilty man. as indeed, you are.
Instead of managing this great campaign
in spirit of broad patriotism and of
courageous loyalty to your nominee and
your party, you have allowed your per-
sonal i'll will to divert you into tortuous.
narrow, jealous and disloyal policy. which
has shipwrecked the Peoples party and
brought the success of Mr.. Bryan to a
crisis of extreme peril.

out of the hole. / shall do nothing OF the
kind. You picked your way into it and
you must pick your way out.

At no time have you told me of you-

MANILA. Oct. 13.-The third batch OF

This places altogether over 5000 men in

The Spanish also show an inclin alton to
lay aside and not to take any chances of
defeat until the other troops arrive. when
with large force their success would, at

what we saw of the soldiers, it would
seem that considerable time could he

work in the field cannot be successfully

commissary department seems to be

NEW YORK, n. Y, Nov. 19.-The trial
of Emilio Nunez and Captain Charles r.
Dickman was resumed to-day. John
Deumer said he had been fireman on
the Laurada during her alleged flibuster-
ing trip last May. His testimony was
almost similar to that of the alleged spy,
Quinn, and the other witnesses who testi-
fed yesterday.
On cross-examination witness stated
that he had received money since leaving
the Laurada on several occasions from
some person whose name he did not know.
Martin Kasparit said he had been
seaman on the Laurada, and his story was
in the main similar to that of the previous
witnesses. He was also under pay.

Counsel for the defense then requested
Judge Broan to direct verdict of acquit-
tai on the ground that there had been no
evidence to show that any crime had been
committed.
General Tracy raised the question
whether the Case of the defendants came
within the jurisdiction of the Southern
Di. trict OF New York, or even within the
rritory of the United States. The con-
stitution provided. he said. that The ac-
cused must be tried within the district

that the prosecution must show that Cap

York that men alleged to have been on
board he Laurada intended TO arm them
selves, as they are said TO have done after
they left Montauk Point. No offense COM
m1tted in this the Soul hern District had
been proved against the captain.
His Honor denied the motion to instruct
an acquittal.
Counselor Reubens. after few words to
the jury, in which he said the statement
of the case for the defense would be left to
the sum ming up, called A. w. Bars of
Jacksonville, Fla, a real estate dealer.
Witness said he had seen the Laurada at
Hardport He had gone out to the Lau-
rada on tug. He said the statements of
the witnesses for the prosecution that the
Cubans had given Captain Dickman orders
were absolutely untrue. v illness and
friend had visited the Laurada once on the
tug and later in skiff. but on neither oc-
casion had Colonel Nunez given any
orders.

he was sympathizer with the Cubans,

The Free Silver Republican who
so freely expressed his views
through our columns recently, has
been ''handled" by the organ of
his party in this county, He is
plainly told that the road he isnow
travelling will carry him straight
into the ranks of Democracy. He
must stick to Wall Street and Gold
Bonds. CtHonest money! God
save the markD No matter though
his fertile farm. under the policy
of the Gold Bugs, has ceased to
afford him decent support, and
no longer has market value. 1t
is vain for him to recall the pros
porous, happy days when silver
was coined as freely as gold at all
the mints of the country, and
when the farmers were the men
who had money to lend. Who
knows of farmer with money to
.lend nows But, says the organ,
"the policy of yottg party is for
sound money!" So it is, and un-
der that policy capital has waxed
fat and it's owners rich beyond all
dreams of ovarice And even the
Organ" is prosperous while the
farmer, who, like Jones, pays the
freight" grows steadily poorer.
However,, silver Republicans
need not be entirely cast down.
Let him comfort himself with the
reflection that, if he is treading the
broad road to destruction, he has
distinguished company who hold
his own faith, and call themselves
Silver Republicans.
The Chairman of the Republi-
can National Committee, many dis
tinguished Senators and Represen-
tatives of tho Republican party,
and the solid Republican orgeni-
cations of many States of the
Union, are with him.
All Republicans are not such
fools as to follow blindly policy
that robs every farmer and laborer
in the land to build upa great class
of moneyed nristocracy. Party or
gans cry, "Honestmoney!' Sound
money! because capital pays them
to do SO in the effort to keep the
public in ignorance of the true
meaning of its self-assumed "hon-
estv" I"

Shining" He said:
"Don't you realize that there is
an indirect way of SHINING Just as
we'll as direct? That a man can
work through agents Just as well
as by hewing his own wood? els it
not just as dirty a business to list
en- to evil reports as it is to peddle
them2 Fit a lie to gossip, is itnot
just as much lie to hear? In
other words, you and 1 are respon-
sible for all the crimes, all the
faults, all the miseries of this world
until we have done everything in
our power to put them down. We
will go on through this world,
closing our eyes and shutting our
ears and trying to justify ourselves
but there shall come time when,
before the whole universe, God
will show us naked, just as we are.

Interview With Col. John Il. Vance, of

/
GallIpOlls, o.
In an interview with Col. John
J.. Vance, President of the Ohio
/ River Improvement Association,
who has just returned from the in
vestigating trip taken by Con
gressional Committee says: 1--WE
have done all we can do in themat-
ter, and the outlook is decidedly
favorable for the improvement of
the Ohio. AT first I was sorry that
the river. was so high, but it has
proved to be the best possible thing
that could have happened. On ac-
count of the big river, we were en-
abled to go to the very source of
the Monongahela the junction of
the two rivers which form it, and
the committee could see the many
thriving manufacturing enterprises
hundreds all along the river and
all of them, or at least most of
them made possible by the lock
and dam system of the Mononga-
hela.
cit was positively the most for
tunate thing that could have occur
ed, and the committee could see
for themselves how much the i'm
provement of that river had done
for the territory through which it
ran.
eve then came down from Pitts
burg on the finest steamer on the
Ohio river to Parkersburg, and the
other side of the picture was seen.
"The committee will work tow
ard securing an appropriation for
the continual improvement of the
river.
eve all had narrow escape
from death at Pittsburg, when the
boat was by some means almost
carried over the dam. Down be-
low the water was frothing and
foaming around immense rocks,
and if we had gone over it would
likely have been the last of most of
the crew and passengers. One of
the boats near by ran out a line to
us and helped us out of our dan
gerous situation"
From the genial ColonePs re-
marks there is, every reason to be-
lieve that the beginning of the end
sought, is at hand. 1t necessarily
cannot be hoped that work of
such immense proportions can be
accomplished even in few years,
but it is safe to say that ten years
from now, those who now are seek
ing the improvement of ono of the
most important water highways of
the world, will see the work so far
advanced, as to be able to see the
end not far away,

He was willing to leave the money

that the national convention could
do nothing less than adopt free

who was not a thorough free coin

There were some ten or more
