that no more than two or three other
Populist candidates for congress will
retire from the race. Furthermore,
it is not at all likely that the Repub.
licans will run candidates for con-
gress in those districts where they
have not heretofore run them.
In announcing his withdrawal Col.
Peek is quoted as saying:
30 wing to the position of our ex.
ecutive committee l am out OF the
race for congress.
This statement has been distorted
into conveying the impression that
Col. Peek was sore over the action OF
the committee but he undoubtedly
intended In his announcement to con-
vey the fact that the committees
views were his views.
His withdrawal isdue to the action
of the Democrats in refusing to fuse
with the Populists. Col. Peek knew
that with three candidates in the field
there would be 10 showing for him
to win, and he did not want to EN-
barrass himself and his party by
making losing race, while the crowd
who had spurued the friendly over
lures of his party would be benefited
thereby. He naturally did not want
to give comfort to this crowd by
staying in the race and his announce
ment means that.
"The so. called fusions with the Re-
publicans is absolutely without foun-
datiop," said Mr.. Sibley, secretary of
the Populist executive committee, in
speaking of the sensational article in
Fridays Constitution.
"It is also untrue" said he, "that
the Populists have withdrawn their
electoral ticket in Georgia. In ans
wer to the statement that there is a
disposition on the part of ths Popu-
lists to knife Bryan, l will say that
the plensry committee of our party
is still in session, whereas the Demo
cratic committee has adjourned sine
die. 1t would therefore seem if any
body was knitting Bryan it is the
Democratic committee The Atlanta

Honest Tom Watson.

A few days ago the New York
Word sent one of its editors to
Thomson, Georgia to interview
Thomas E. Watson and get an i'm
portaut statement from his lips. A
little later another New York paper
startes, man to Geo2gia t.. y, y, r,,,-
SCOOP" en- the World &nN a aysFs Il i
man a thousand dollars to use, if me-
cessary. MIR. Creelman, the World
correspondent, got there first and
had already begun his interview
when the other newspaper nan ar
rived. The other maa at oncs dis
patched note to Mr.. Watts IN off r
ing him $1,000 for the very informa-
ton the World wanted. Mr.. Watson
simply informed the messenger that
there was no answer to the message
He wouldn't even break up a con-
versation with one newspaper man
for the benefit of another, when a
thousand dollars was at stake, and
when most people would have re-
garded it as a legitimate way to make
a little fortune.
Now we would like to see the
same off sr made to Mr.. Sewall under
similar circumstances. lie would
have raked in the cash without a
change Of countenance.
Thomas E. Watson is made of the
pure metal. He can't be bought nor
intlmidated. He is the kind of stuff
statesmen ara made out of. Toat is
why we prefer him to the other can
didates for Vice President. -Pfogre. =

Same Thing in Michigan.

Petersburgh, Mich, Oct, 18th, '96.
Hon. Thomas h. Watson:
My DEAR SIR: I have just re-
turned home from stumping tour
in my district. am bearing the
same experience that you are bear
ing in this campaign, the Democrats
have all except two congressional
districts, and they wanted me to be
patriotic and withdraw so they
could get this also. I refused to do
SO. They placed another candidate
in the field hence, divide the silver
vote and no doubt will bring defeat
to both, being satisfied that it is the
same old gang refuse to surrender
our organization to them. | find
that our people to large extent feel
as do,that we are not true Populists
if we go back on the pledges made
to our Southern friends, that if they
would leave Democracy and come
with us We would build up a party
that would unite the South and
West, while to a certain extent con.
ditions are not the same here as with
our people in the South, yet we
bear no faith in Democracy that sold
out the Gleenb 1okers in the North,
and seal ballot boxes in the South.
Everywhere our people stand by
Wa n, and i; Bryan is defeated it
can be charged up to Sawall and the
usual blunders and hogishness Of
Democracy. l enclose resolu
tons which show how we stand in
my county. Thanking you in behalf
of our people in The North for your
staying qualities, l remain,
Sincerely yours,

se slaves the balance of our hves.
We have few Mckinley men up
here and some of them have not got
the second meal in ttei- house and
they have the Mckinley badge all
over the back part of their pants,
and still they want the gold standard
and If $50 gold pieces were selling
for ten dollars piece they could not
buy one.
Mr.. Editor, l will tell you o little
about myself. In 1861 l enlisted in
the United States army and served
two years. so l am one of the yanks,
as the boys down South called ~.
Now want to say to the boys in
gray that we fought one another in
81, and tried to kill eaoh other and
did kill many as brave boys as ever
shouldered gun. Now, comrades,
we have got another war upon us
and hard battle to fight, but we are
not going to fight this battle with
shot and powder, but we are going
to lock arms and march to the polls
and cast our ballots for VIM. J.
Bryan and I. E. Watson and send
them to Washington to run this gov
eminent in the interest o. the whole
people; it has been run in the inter-
est of the money power long enough.
Mr.. Editor, please tell Mr.. Wat
son if he will come up here in Phelps
county, Missouri, we will treat him
right. He is gong to carry every.
thing in this county. Popsulists,
Democrats and silver Republicans
are going to vote for him, and let
him stand firm and us Pops will stay
with him. We are for Watson first,
last and all the time.
Hoping that 1 am not intrudipg
on you, | remain for Watson until
death. Z. DENooN.

does not represent the platform on
which he stands. Unheard of and
unheralded, picked up by chance and
accident in the apathy and haste that
marked the closing hours of the Chi

1t really makes us tired to hear tho
Democrats telling Populists what
they should do to make themselves
patriots. To hear them talk about
patriotism and unselfsh love of coun,
try is amusing. 1t is all very well
when the Populists will vote for
Bryan, then we are patriots, but
whom we ask. them to vote for Watson
we are blamed fools, To ask Popu-
lists to swallow Sewall is just little
too much, and if matters are SO placed
that we cannot vote for Bryan with.
out voting for Sewall, We don't be.

Ii. p. Thompson, late a member of
the State Central Committee, told
your correspondent that over LOCO
Democrats in the county would
support it. The latest man to an
nounce himself that way and one
that probably has as much innu-
cncc as any man in the county is
Senator Rodney IIaggard. He is
one Of the most prominent Demo
Gratis in this portion of the State,
and man whose ability and hon
csty have never been questioned.
In an interview he says: 81 can not
support tho ticket and platform as
put forth at Chicago. Like Jacob
wrcstlcd with the angel l have
wrestlcd with my convictions, and
rs an honest man / can not support
that which is so far from every
thing that 1 have held as Demo-
cratic and therefore sacred. The
platform does not cmbody Demo
cratic principles, but those cnun-
ciatcd are dangerous to the funda-
mental principles of a good govern
ment and the whole thing is po-
litical rape committed on the party
| love. For thirty years l have been
speaking, writing and talking for
measures that | believed would be
conducive to the best interests of
the people; during that time l
have never scratched my ticket. l
am well acquainted with nearly ev-
cry Democrat in Clark county and
believe there are many hundreds
who will not bow the knee to the
Chicago Baal. | think every pa
triotic citizen, regardless of party,
should set the seal of condemnation
upon and repudiate this spurious
| instrument and should vote for the
interests of mankind, the integrity
of our country and the perpetual
| ton of our institutions. This is
not a hasty conclusion, but the ma
| ture conviction of one who loves
his country above his party name.
If the true Democrats will make a
sound-money platform, defeat Bry-
an, Altgeld, Tillman, Debs, etc, in
four years the theorists will be al
lied to the socialists and Populists
and the old Democrats with unsul-
lied standard will once more march
to victory"
Judge Haggard will stump the
county in the interest of the sound
money ticket and will add much to
its strength here.

In justice to Bryan 1t must be
said that he didn't really STEAL his
''crown-of- thorns, cross-of-gold" fig
ures from Republican Congressman
Mccall. He simply appropriated
them, but couldn't express the ne
cessary quotation marks in spoken
discourse. Now, if he had written
the address and had it published
he would have enclosed that par
ticular gem of his ora tory in quo
tation marks, to show that he didn't
originate it. At least, credit him
with that integrity on the law pol
icy that the accused must have the
benefit of the doubt.
