Thomson. Ga, Aug. 6.-Here is the re-
ply of Thomas r.. Watson, Popullst can
didate for vice president. as published In
the Peoples party paper of Atlanta in
answer to Senator Jones' recent inter-
view, To the effect that Bryan will not ac-
cept the Popullst nominations: "In his
statement, Senator Jones says that Mr..
Bryan will not accept the Populist nomi-
nation; that Mr.. Sewall will not retire;
that Watson's bluff does not scare him
(the said jones'; that Populist delegates
to ST. Louis were generally good, If they
came from the north and west, and gem
orally bad II they came from the soath.
By singular oversight, Senator Jones
fails To characterize the Populists from
the east, and thus leaves US uniformed
as to whether they met the approval OF
him (Jones), or whether they did not.
We regret that Chairman Jones should
have spilled his temper in this copious
way. We had been hoping and trusting
that all the silver forces were about to
unite in one glorious national and pa
triotic love feast, one rapturous and mis-
cellaneous hug, and now here comes
Jones bent upon having row.
Senator Jones says that Bryan will
not accept our nomination. This is pain
ful news, but ii is best for all parties
that we should know the facts We
deeply regret that Bryan's decision Is
against us. He sought the Populst
nomination. and got IT, 1t is a pity that
he was ashamed TO keep what he so
eagerly sought. Mr.. Jones says that the
Populsts OF the west Will support Bryan
and Sewall regardless OF anything our
committee may do. We cannot think SO.
Every delegate from the west voted to
make Mr.. Watson's nomination unani-
nous, and we believe that they meant to
support him. We believe the west will
not vote for AFR. Sewall. He represents
nothing they believe in. He is national
banker. a railroad king, a corporation
plutocrat He comes from a section
which has no interest in common with
us. He can carry no electoral vote from
his own section. and may lose many
from other sections
ION the other hand, the Populist nomi-
nee has been laboring earnestly and con-
stantly for free silver, at least as long as
Mr. Bryan has: represents everything
western Populism stands for, and comes
from a section whose very interest is
Identical with those Of the west And
his strength in the south assures the en-
tire electoral vote of the south to the
Democratic nominees, II the combina-
tion can be made. In the event that Mr..
Bryan continues to- reject the Populist
overtures. the Populist rational commit
tee has authority to name a straight
Popusst ticket in lieu OF the Bryan and
Watson ticket, and the committee should
take this action"

Shall the Normal schools Be Abolished

Shall the Normal schools Be Abolished
The Bethel column this week contains
az item relative to the report OF the com
mission appointed to investigate the nor
NAL schools Of the state, and gives some
extracts therefrom.
From the first quoted statement it APP
pears that the school property used by the
normal schools Is furnished by them tc
the state free OF charge. We do not see
how that Is q just cause OF complaint
against the schools.
The next statement, that there Is nc
uniform system OF teaching or training Ia
our normal schools, does not seem like q
very severe charge in the light OF another
statement, apparently quoted from the
same report, that the normal schools OF
other states exhibit great divergence In
methods and efficiency. But possibly the
commissioners have discovered the one
s'uniform system" upon which normal
schools should be conducted; IL SO, their
fame is sure.
In the item 1t is said that for the last
seven years the graduates from the nor
mai schools have cost the state $1,000 per
year, while the figures given show that
sum to be the cost per graduate. The
course OF study Is for two years and we
understand that the average attendance
P1h AuAdut[ 10 AOi tWo yCuIHi ~ tuut tuC
statement, seemingly quoted from the re-
port, is inexact BY just one-half, the actu-
al cost per year, according to the figures
given, being s64 55-not an excessive tut
ton.
The main conclusion OF the committee
is indeed startling and is contrary to an
opinion that we had formed from our own
observation and inquiry.
II the report had recommended con-
solidation OF the three schools into one,
and had outlined system whereby bet
ter results could be assured, no one would
have been greatly surprised. But to con-
adjustment without offering any substi-
tute whatever, to have Vermont s'throw
up the sponge" and confess that she can
not do what every other state does, will
hardly commend itself to the pride and
honor OF our citizens.
