Chicago. Oct GA special to the
Tribune from Atlanta, Ga, says:
Tom Watson has dictated a letter
accepting the Populist nomination for
vice president. 1t is addressed to
Chairman Butler and is n vigorous. in,
cisive document. Mr.. Watson will re-
wise the letter and make II public, prob
ably on Wednesday.
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 the
"Middle-of- the-road" delegates, repre-
senting twenty-one states, was held.
At this caucus they agreed to nomin-
ate Norton, of Illinois, for president,
and Birkett, of Mississippi, for vice
president That ticket would have
made Bryan's defeat absolutely GER
tain. But when Watson telegraphed
a message saying he was willing to
accept second place on the ticket with
Bryan, the middle-of-the-road men, be.
lieving the Democratic managers
would support the arrangement in
good faith, withdrew their opposition
to Bryan. Mr.. Watson's letter is prin-
cipally devoted to demonstration
that the Populist candidate for vicd
president deserves the support of all
who favor Bryan's election.
