would bring that about as well as Wat
son. The trouble is that the support
of the Populists is asked for ticket
and platform which, although thor
oughly Populistic in principle, is not so
in name.
Populists have lots of human nature
in them, after ALL Now, it is not in
human nature to do all the work and
let the other fellow have all the pay.
The Bryan outfit bears the name of
Democracy. If it should triumph, the
spoils would be demanded by those Of
the Democratic managers who have
gone into this movement. The boiling
Republicans, too, who had so much
to do with engineering the deal, must
have their share. Where would the
poor Populist come In? Neither dignity
nor emolument appears to be in store
for him. Nothing but the poor privilege
of helping, by his vote. to secure
them both for the other fellow. Wat
son Is living protest against this He
says that the Populists ought to have
their share; that they have not been
fairly recognized; that since they bring
compact body of voters to the joint
arrangement, they ought to be recog-
n1zed at least to the extent Of naming
the candidate for vice president. The
oretically, he is right. Practically. the
Populists in several states, more par
ticularly Kansas and Georgia, are COM
pletely divided, and a large part Of
them avow that they will not support
Bryan and Sewall, nor consent to any
arrangement that does not give them
their fair share Of the fruits of victory.
This feeling is not confined to
the states mentioned. It exists in
greater or less degree in every part of
the Union; and it is going to deprive
Mr.. Bryan of that large share of the
Populist vote which feels that the Peo
pies party has been treated unfairly,
and that 1T has today no assurance Of
obtaining the slightest advantage or
even of maintaining its existence as
party should Mr.. Bryan succeed. This
is force at work in the campaign
which has not been reckoned with. but
which is going to appear in the record
of Nov 3.

the apartment ON the second floor of
the building yesterday morning and
was found by Mrs. Otis, who occupies
the adjoining fiat, lying unconscious on
the floor in a pool of blood. When she
was taken to the hospital the surgeon
expressed surprise that she should have
received scalp wound on the top Of
her head from a fall. The matter be-
ing investigated it was learned that
Mrs. L. ckwood was subject to fits of
vertigo and that when seized with them
she invariably fell to the fl )or striking

But Luckily for Both His Aim Was
Had.

The police were notified shortly after
9 o'clock last night that there was a
row in progress at 141 Thirteenth
street. The person who telephoned the
information did not mention any names
and neglected to tell who was talking.
Sergeant Ross was sent to the number
given and found that the row was all
over. The house is occupied by Mrs.
Gertrude Cans and with her live her
two sons, Martin and Matthew, aged
thirty and twenty-five years. From
what the officer could learn. Martin
Cans had been away from the city for
several weeks and only returned home
yesterday. About o'clock the broth

had been celebrating his return with
several "shots of BOOZE" the argument
waxed warm, and finally Martin pulled
out revolver and took a. shot at Mat

Matthew by several feet, and without
waiting to see the result or take
another shot Martin ran out Of the

RECKONING WITHOUT THEIR HOSTS.

One of the most serious mischances
that await the managers of the Popo-
crat campaign in their cheerful assur-
ances that fusion will secure the COM
bined vote of the parties to it comes
out of the national situation with ref
erence to the vice presidency We all
of us know well enough that the Chi
cago nominees and platform are not
going to receive solid Democratic sup
port We all of us know, or those Of
us who have investigated public opin-
ion know, that a large part and in
many states majority OF the regular
Democratic vote will be given to
Palmer or to Mckinley, or will not be
cast at all. But it has been assumed
that the Populist end of the fusion
deal would be well sustained 1t has
been taken for granted that all those
who have voted heretofore with the
Peoples party will support the Bryan
movement solidly. Even this is far
from the truth. That irrepressible po-
litieal acrobat, Tom Watson, has
been making no end of trouble 1t Is
not Watson in reality who makes the
rumpus. but it is the situation itself
that is impossible. Any other man

Off garments of the Populists. The
Democrats met in Indianapolis and
adopted a platform in clear, concise,
ringing words and Gen. Buckner and
myself are today the representatives
Of the only national Democratic con-
Nention which met in 1896.
The country is in state of I'M
certainty We know that if Mr. Bryan
is elected. confusion and ruin will be
sc en- on all hands. Does any business
man believe 1t is possible to make an
unlimited number of silver dollars
equal In value to those of gold? Mr..
Bryan and his friends admit that the
first results of the election would be
distressing panic. But they say that
after awhile things would get better
When will that be? The credit Of
your banks will be attacked, the treas
ury will be emptied. Mark me, if
Bryan is elected on the third of No
vember, on the 4th there will be
struggle and the country will go to
q silver basis and a tremendous panic

will be the inevitable result"
