to arrange the details for fusion after

committees shall have canvassed the

Asked what he thought about fusion
on candidates for state officers, Mr..
Breidenthal said that he was in favor
Of dividing the ticket with the Demo-
Gratis, and believed that a conference
committee could make the necessary
without trouble. He de-
ciined TO express a choice Of candidates
FOR the different positions. The stand
taken by Breidenthal makes a fight at

KANSAS SILVER MEN SORE

WHO WATSON Is.
short Sketch of PopuIist Candidate for
Vice-PreSident.

short Sketch of PopuIist Candidate for
| Vice-President.
! T. E. Watson, the Populist candidate
| for Vice President, was born in that
part of Columbia county, Ga, which
now forms part of McDuffie county,
| September 5, 1856. His father was a
| farmer, who, having been brought up
under the slave regime, had not learned
| the art of making much out of little.
He had not the money to give his boy
good education, and Thomas Edward
was sent out into the work-a-day world
at an early age. He became a clerk in
| 1870 to T. E. Messengale, afterwards
Senator, and gathered together enough
knowledge to enter the freshman year
at Mercer University at Macon. His
father paid his board and the college
gave him free tuition during the first
year. During vacation he taught school
in Bibb county and made enough to pay
his tuition up to the end of the sopho-
more year. He then went to Augusta,
where his family was living, and vainly
sought to get a position in a store or
school which would enable him to finish
his college course. When he found that
this was an impossibility he sold what
few books and knick-knacks he had and
went to Schreven county. Here he
taught school q couple of years and
during one of the vacations returned
to Augusta and studied law.
He was admitted to the Richmond
county bar in 1875; but it is one thing
to be admitted and another thing to
make living out of the law, as young
Watson found. r. H. Pearce, a fellow
townsman, agreed to give him home
for year free of charge, in order that
he might get started as lawyer. He
tided over the first vacuous months of
practice and was soon on a paying
basis.
He was member of the Georgia Leg
islature in 1882 and 1888, and was elect
ed ElectOr for the State at large on the
Cleveland ticket in 1888. He ran for
Congress against Major George T.
Barnes, who formerly represented the
district as a straight-out Democrat.
Watson also ran as a Democrat, but one
who stood by the demands Of the Alli-
ance platform. When the Democratic
party drew the lines against the Ali
ance he decided TO stand by the Alliance
rather than the Democratic party. He
is now practicing his profession in
Georgia. He is married and has a
