Will Continue to Strike,

Lcadvillc, Col, Oct. Livery pos
sbllty Of ending the strike by arbi-
tration or any other amicable means
has disappeared, for the time being,
ut least, the miners union having
voted in regular meeting last night
to continue indefinitely the fight for
uniform wages of three dollars day
for all men in all mines. Two hum
drea members Of the union have
withdrawn and will seek work. The
mine operators will fill the places of
the strikers with outsiders as rapidly
as possible, and the state militia will
probably be kept here long time.

WATSON is DISGUSTED.
He May Withdraw from tho prcsiden.
tial Race,

Nashville, Oct. IA special to
the American from Atlanta, Ca,
says: Tonl Watson is ut las roous at
the kimball house, surrounded fbvtGs
phalaux of populists, tonight and~is
shut cut from the rest Of the world
SO absolutely that ati efforts to get
from him anything about his move
ments Or intentions have proved una
vailing. The air Of mystery that
surrounds him has perhaps bceu in Il
measure responsible for the many
rumors that are allOat. These have
taken definite shape in the state
ments that he is certainly going to
withdraw from the populist ticket in
disgust. Watson will neither affirm
nor deny this xumor. Thcsstory goes
that in the rppuljst partvHpapcn to-
morrow he will explain Iris position
and that tile effect of itWill be his
withdrawal, Today Watson spoke
at Stone Mountain. lie made no di-
rect allusion to any idea of with
drawing. This afternoon tic Even
ing journal contained story pub
lishcd under a washington date line
which intimatcd strongly that the
withdrawal was in sight. 1t spoke
Of Watson's disgust at the treatment
he has received AZ the bands Of the
populisJ leaders. The story had the
appearance of"a 'grapESine." The
Fact that Watson's paper is published
from the. Journals presses gives ere
dcncc TO the belief, which is general
here, that the Journal has had a tip.
Whether he comes off or not, Watson
is disguised. lie is quoted as having
said to a friend that hc believed Nc
kinlcy was going to win.

The reason, with great many Of
our friends of the democratic party,
why free coinage was Of minor i'm

Mr.. Bryan is a great deal more

Democracy called upon the silver
republicans an Montana to help it
carry the state electoral vote for
Bryan. After the silver republicans
responded, democracy then turned
it's attention to putting in its best
licks in an cndcavor to defeat 4 state
ticket which was put up'by Il convcn-
tion in"rhiol. the silver republicans
composed twO-thirds Of the member
ship. There is little more to be said
about democracy. 1t S the same old
party that stood of 1870 voters with
shotguns in the hands Of the Judges
and clerks Of election at Carroll in
1882, and deprived them Of the right
Of suffrage because they wanted tC
