w. l. Peek Says the Maine Man Must
Yield to Watson

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 1.-W. L. Peek,
who ran for governor on the populist
ticket In 1892 and headed the Georgia
delegation to st. Louis. made the fol-
lowing statement TO the Atlanta Jour-
nal to-day:
"Conyers. Aug. I. 1S96.-To the Al
lanta Journal: II was understood with
the democrats that IL the populists
would nominate Bryan for president
and southern populist for vice presi-
dent Sewall would retire from the race;
or in other words he (SewalD would be
taken down and our candidate for vice
president would be placed on the ticket
with Bryan. With this understanding
Watson was unanimously nominated.
Every state In the union supported him
except South Carolina and il was not
represented. This was the broad ground
on which the democrats and populists
met
Having been deceived by promises
We made II a certainty on our part and
reversed the order Of business and
nominated the vice president first. Sen
ator Jones. chairman or the national
democratic committee. was there, to-
gether with many prominent demo-
Gratis from different parts of the United
States urging this course for the sue
cess of financial reform. We did not
indorse Bryan, but made our platform
and nominated him then for president
by over a two-thirds vote.
"Mr. Watson was nominated with as
long and as loud outbursts of enthu-
siasm as was Mr.. Bryan, and ] beg
leave to say now that there Is but one
course to pursue II good faith is to gov
ern this union Of silver forces. viz;
Watson electors must be put up by the
democratic party from, Maine to Call

ask or do otherwise In the South. yea,
In Georgia. II would be an unpardona-
BILE sin and unfaithfulness on the part
OF the democratic party and the people
will hold them responsible for the re-
suit. William l.. Peek"

about Sept. in this city. The announce

such a course was certain unless some

New York leaders particularly regard

date OF the convention are concerned and
are being inclined to busy themselves
now chiefly with a discussion OF candl-

Is much perplexity here over a dis
patch from Milville to the effect that
s. II. Murphy. who had been numbered
among the dead from the time of the
accident. is alive and well at home. A
body supposed to be his was identified
as such by is people.
The impression prevails that the re-
sponsibility for the accident rests upon
the dead engineer, Edward Farr. There
is no dispute that the signal to go
ahead was given the West Jersey ex-
cursion train and IL so the danger sig-

to the Reading track by an automatic
arrangement. The theory Is that Farr
did not slow up and could not stop In
time when he saw the West Jersey
train approaching. 1t Is said that he
had been laid off two weeks not long
ago for not making good time. and II
is supposed that he was trying to make
up for this by running at a high rate
of speed.
The coroner's inquest will begin at
1880 Monday morning. Fireman
O'Houlihan, of the Reading train. who
saved his life by jumping, will proba-
bly, be the principal witness.

placed in the hall, where he
would make a fairly good hat
rack and render himself other
wise quite as useful as many a
footman in real flesh and blood.
There is a helpful suggestion
in this contrivance for our
friends, the democrats. They
are about to go for a drive on a
steep and rocky road. They need
a footman, and it looks now as
though they would have trouble
in persuading any live man to
take the place. A dummy would
fill the bill exactly. Such
figure neatly attired in the regu.
latlon toggery ana percheo upon
the box of the democratic coach
would enable the driver to keep
up appearances at least, and it
might even deceive spectators
along the route into believing
that the party was still travelling
with living men. 1t is worth
trying anyhow, and the effort
would cost but little. The demo.

No Republican can object to
the ticket that was made for
Harrison county on last Tuesday.
1t is not only a sure winner but
vote getting ticket. 1t will add
strength to the State ticket. The
defeated candidates have exhib-
ited from the hour of their dis
appointment a valor and courage
seldom witnessed just after a
nominating convention. They
are all MEN, worthy of their par.
ty, and we predict that there is
not single kicker in the whole
lot. Our Democratic friends have
boasted what they would do and
how they proposed to make
defeated men sore. We say "they
can't do it." 1t will be simply
amusing to hear them trying to
prove that some kind of "a ring
scooped up everything, and that
some were given no show, etc.
1t was a solid convention, made
up of prudent people, and every
Republican in the county will

women whose wit and beauty give

invented a continuance which
seems likely to fill a long.felt
want without leaving any vacant
space around the edges.
This young lady is fond Of
driving, and being what horsey
folk call an expert whip, her
equipages are accepted as models
of form and taste. In spite of
her fearlessness of horses, never.
theless, she dare not defy the
social dlctum which says that no
young lady shall go driving
without footman. The presence
of a real live footman is distaste-
full to her. She apparently
believes that it exposes her to
the suspicion of timidity or un.
skillfulness. How to make a
nominal compliance with the re-
quirements of fashion and vet
drive her spirited steeds unac.
companied by a man attendant
was therefore an urgent problem,
and in seeking a solution she hit
upon happy expedient Of the

The dummy footman" is a
creature of terra Gotta and smart
clothes. He perches upon his
proper seat, looking for ali the
world like live person, and,
for practical purpose, quite as
useful as the average living
footman. He is not officious; he
hears not, neither does he speak,
and he performs an exalted mis-.
sion by enabling his owner 10

obedience to the dictates OF
society while still enjoying the
delights of the rcao unhampered
