asked him 70 talk for publication in THE

do you favor the withdrawal of Wat

Presidential candidate ?''
His answer was emphasized by gesture
and tone, and he said:
Not for a moment Is Is imposes bic and
equally undesirable. We cannot elect
BTysn without the Southern vote and that
Is lost if they are asked to support Sewall-
But there Is yet another reason. Watson
is the unanimous nominee Of the Populist

This whole matter is now in the hands of

While making this emphatic declar2-
tion J. II. ('Cycione") Davis, the leader
of the Texas and Southern Populists, ap-
preached Us, and / at once questioned
him, in the presence of Senator Allen, as
to the attitude of the Southern people
He spoke in tone of calm assurance, and
said that the South would cordially sup
port Bryan and Watson. but under no cir
cumstances would they accept SewalI. 1
asked him If he believed the Populist sup
porters of Sewan would now turn to Wat
son and support him as cordially as they
would have supported SewaIl. He and
Allen exchanged glsnces and he said: al
have not 3 single doubt Of it They are
all Watson men now. Is not that so,
Senator AIlen?" The response came
promptly as fact beyond question:
They are all Watson men. They can
not support SewalI-'

SewalI is q patriot. He will not acce pt

ulists, and dozen others from the North.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, July 26.-The

By having the nominations put in the

and adjourn the convention.
Tonight long conference of the dele
gates was held. lasting until midnight, but
no action was taken The tenor of the
talk, however, was in favor of nominating
the State ticket and placing the matter of
putting an electoral ticket in the field in
the hands of committee. Whether this
will be done is doubtful, for the State
committee is very anxious that the whole
thing should be placed in its hands and is
working Lard to that end, backed by ali
the pressure the Democratic leaders can
bring TO bear. Mr.. Shiveley, the Demo-
CRATIC nominee, this evening stated that
he would not decline the support of the
Populists if they should nominate him.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 27.-With the
exception OF several members of the
executive committee of the Popu-
list and Silver parties delegates to last
weeks conventions have returned to their
homes. Senator Butler of South Carolina,
Cyclone" Davis of Texas, Morton c. Ran
kin of Indiana, DR.. Mott OF North Caro-
lima, General ]. B. Weaver OF Iowa and
H. E. Taubeneck of Illinois are the most
prominent of those remaining.
Senator Jones is expected to return
from his visit 10 Bryan at Lincoln, Nebr.,
tomorrow, when he viii meet Senator
Butler and the Populist committee. After
the conference it is likely that Senator
Butler viii himself visit Lincoln. After
that be viii go to Washington to visit the
PopuIist leaders, with view to blocking
out the work of the campaign.
1t is believed the Senator's chief aim
just now is to secure, if possible, the with
draTal OF SeBsll from second place on the
ticket. The PopuIist chairman believes
that the Democratic Vice Presidential
get out Of the race. and it Is said he is OF
the opinion that he can be induced to get
on the ticket
Such a move, in Senator Butler
opinion, would harmonic all the silver
elements North and South, and would
especially aid the cause in Tennessee,
North Carolina. Alabama and Texas,
where the Populists have been gaining
strength for the last four years.
Besides the substitution of Watson for
Sewsll on the ticket Senator Butler wants
the Populists represented on Senator
Jones' National Committee which is to
handle the campaign. The headquarters
he wants located either at Washington or
Chicago, and his preference Is for the lat
ter city as it is in the heart OF the de.
