THE STRIKE MAY END SOON.
Leadville Union Miners Divided as to
Their Course.

LEADvILLE, Colo, Sept. ga
struggle Is in progress in the Miners
union between the leaders, who wish
to continue the strike for uniform
wages of So per day for all the men In
all the mines and the conservative
men who think the time has arrived
when overtures should be made to the
mine operators. 1t is believed that at
the general meeting tomorrow even
ing the union will resolve to treat for
peace or provide for a more aggress-
i've contest.
]. r. Amburn, president of the
union has not been seen on the streets
here since the Coronado mine riot.
1t is reported that he was slightly
wounded in the fight at the Emmett
mine, where he had been attracted by
the shooting, and that he has since
been in hiding in this city under doc
tors care.
The mine operators remain firm in
their determination not to concede
the demands of the union, and not to
give employment under any condi-
tions to the officers of the union and
the leaders of the strike.
A scouting party of mounted militia
was approaching the Emmett mine
last night when Sergeant Hamilton of
Company G, Cripple Creek, who was
riding ahead, was ordered to halt by
picket. He did not obey quickly and
the picket fired, inflicting a wound
which will necessitate amputation of
the left leg.
The Scandinavian section of the
Miners union held a meeting last
night, which was addressed by Col.
Hogle of the militia and other officers,
who counseled peace and order.
PRESIDENT Royce of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners then spoke, coun-
selling the miners to stand firm, as the
strike must win. He bitterly de-
nounced the citizens for organizing
militia companies, saying they were
acting as tools of the mine managers.
He said the federation would stand by
the strikers and keep them and their
families from suffering, and told them
not to speak to the militia unless they
wanted to, but not to antagonize them.
He advised the strikers to go home
early and stay there.

Mr.. Watson and Fusion.
THE GEORGIAN AGAIN BITTER
LY COMPLAINS ABOUT HIS
TREATMENT.
Unless There is a New Deal He Says
There Will be No Show For Mr..
Bryan and That Mckinley
Will be Elected.

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-Thomas Il.
Watson, the Populist candidate for
Vice President, has telegraphed the
World a review of the political situa-
ton, in which he said:
"Under present conditions Mr.. Bry-
an cannot get the full Populist vote.
He cannot get it in Kansas or Colo
RADIO. He cannot get it in North Car
olina or Nebraska. In the friendliest
spirit give Chairman Jones warning.
He will make the blunder of his life If
he listens to the fusion leaders and
believes a full Populist vote can be
had for Bryan with Sewall on the
ticket. Populist voters are men who
have educated themselves on political
topics. They will not stultify them
selves by voting against their convic-
tions. They will not vote for a man
who, if Mr.. Bryan dies, will make US
another President after the fashion of
Grover Cleveland. They may not be
able to break up the fusion deal, but
they can stay at home. The contract
made at st. Louis for united Demo-
cratic-Populist ticket should be carried
out in good faith. Democratic man
ayers should not expect to hold us to
it when they ignore it themselves. If
Mckinley is elected, the responsibility
will forever rest upon these managers
who had it in their power to control
by fair means 1000, 900 votes and lost
them by violating the terms of the
compact. The writer of this has stood
Loyalty by Mr.. Bryan throughout the
campaign and will continue to do SO,
and it is out of a sincere desire to see
him elected that he points out the
weak place IN our lines in time for it
to be strengthened. Mr.. Chairman
Jones can do it, is under implicit con-
tract to do it and should for Mr.. Bry-
ans sake, lose no time in doing it.
81 respectfully warn Mr.. Chairman
Jones of the danger Mr.. Bryan is in.
The Popullst voters are dissatisfied
and suspicious. They feel instinctively
that the fusion policy which compels
them to vote for Sewal is the begin
ming of the end of the Populist party.
They feel the principles they love are
being used as political merchandise
and the Populist vote is being auc-
toned off to the highest bidder. They
suspect that populism has been bought
and paid for and is now being deliver
ed to those who bought it. Is the
Populist vote necessary to Mr.. Bryan's
election? If SO, the sooner Mr.. Jones
realizes that it cannot be had under
any arrangement which compels the
Populists to make a humiliating
surrender of their principles in voting
for Sewall electors, the better it will
be for our campaign"

The Elsberry Nesos says: I. L.
Fouke, the st. Louis drummer, was in
town last week. He is an enthusiastic
silver man and takes a great interest
in politics. There were ten travelling
men on the G. & A. local train coming
into Louisiana one day last week and
poll of them showed that only one
of the number was McKinleyite.
Mr.. Fouke met Republican some
time since who was living in dense
ignorance of the political sentiment in
this district and offered to bet that
Champ Clark would not beat Treloar
more than 1000 votes this fall. The
bet was promptly taken by the drum
mer, although it doubtless made him
feel that he was taking mean advan-
tage OF the Republican, for there is no
doubt but that Treloar will be showed
under by a much larger majority than
has been known in the Ninth district
in a long time.
