wATsoMs ACCEPTANCE.
It Is Expected His Letter Will Be Mads
 Public at Once.

Public at Once.
 CHICAGO, Oct. IA special to Tho Tribune from Cincinnati says Tom Wat. son has dictated letter accepting tho Populist nomination for vice president. It is addressed to Chairman Butler, and is vigorous, incisive document. Mir. Watson will revise the letter and make it public, probably tomorrow.
 In his letter of acceptance the Popu- list leader calls attention to the almost forgotten fact that during the St. Louis convention a caucus of middle-of the- road delegates, representing 21 states, was held At this caucus the delegates agreed to nominate Norton of Illinois for president and Burkett of Mississippi for vice president.
 That ticket would have made Bryan's 8 defeat absolutely certain. But when Watson telegraphed message that he was willing to accept second place on the ticket with Bryan, the middle-of-the- road men, believing the Democratic managers would support the arrange ment in good faith, withdrew their op- position to Bryan.
 MT. Watson's letter is principally de- voted to demonstration that the Pop ulist candidate for vice president de- serves the support of all who favor Bry- ans election.

We all know that its pipe line is insuiici-
eat to do this. The company comedies So
asach. Mr.. Vorneule shows that in this
respect the situation cannot be materially
! ipettered until 1897.
But taais is not all. Co.sceding that,if there
were ample storage capacity for all the
water eollectable, the Pequannock water
shed would afford 80, 600, 900 gallons a day
and more, Mr.. Vermeule demonstrates that
the East Jersey system cannot come any
where near furnishing that amount because
its works are an aggregation Of colossal
plumbers. Its reservoirs are as bad as its
pipes. Superintendent capacity is provided
where there is little water. to collect and in
sufficient capacity where there is super
abundant water. To boot, t~wenty-four
miles of water shed, or a little less than
o~ne-ifth of the whole, is totally unprovided
with storage facility.
To deduce the consequences of these facts
would simply be to paraphrase the final con-
illusions of Mr.. vermeule's report. This we
cannot do with any advantage in point
either of clearness or condensation. We
desire here to draw attention to two or
three circumstances
One is the remarkable accuracy with
which Mr.. Lehbeus B. Ward has, any time
IN the last seven years, forecast the revela-
tions now made by. Mr.. Vermeule. 1t is
simple justice to that gentleman to say that
he has repeatly made, on general principles,
the very same criticism of the East Jersey
reservoirs, that MIR. Vermeuie now deduces
from actual facts.
A second is that the East Jersey system,
as described by Mr.. Vermeule, does not COM
ply with the requirements of the c~onpany's
contract with Newark, which requires that
the works to be turned over to the city in
1900 shall embrace not only pipe lines with a
carrying capacity equal to So DOC, 600 a day
but also storage capacity sufficient to guar
antee forever and at all times a daily supply
of that amount.
Again, we would direct attention to the
bearing which these lata day discoveries
upon the water supply prices. In face
of the stupendous miscalculations of Engin-
eer Herschel, in presence of the millions of
outlay which the East Jersey company must
make to repair his errors, who will be bold
enough to cayil at the price embodied in the
recent award made by the municipal author
of this city.
Finally we desire to direct attention to the
element of storage capacity. This was one
of the strong inducements held out by tue
recently defeated winner of the award. This
one of the features most assailed by the
of the Board of Trade and finally
of the Supreme Court Branch which heard
the case. Perhaps a study of Mr.. Vermeule's
report would lead some of these gentlemen
to a change of heart.
