WATSON WILL NOT RETIRE.
SAYS HE WOULD LAY HIS HEAD
UPON THE BLOCK FIRST.
Thinks if SewaIl Would Get Off the
Ticket Bryan Could Yet
Be Elected.

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-An Atlanta
(Ga.J special says:
I'D lay my head on the block before
I'd retire from the race to make way
for plutocrat, a bond holder, a national
banker and protectionist like Mr. Sc
WALL said Tom Watson last night.
IF Mr.. Sewall is willing to get off the
ticket L believe that even now there is a
chance to elect Mr.. Bryan" said Mr..
Watson. MIR. Bryan and 1 could at
once make a tour together and inside Of
ten days we might restore thousands of
votes.
Il will remain on the ticket until the
last ballot is cast" exclaimed Mr.. Wat
son. When the election is over / will
go back to my party and they will know
then that the trust committed into my
hands has not been betrayed. l have
been shamefully treated, but | am not
afraid to do my duty. l represent a
great political party and was regularly
nominated for the office of Vice-Presi
dent by my party in national conven-
ton. Think Of how / have been used,
Think of the humiliation Of having to
beg in public for q formal notification of
my nomination., Think of the indignity
of being asked to abandon the cause of
my party for the sake of fellow like
Sewall
NO, I will not retire. l intend to vote
for Mr. Bryan and do all in my power
to elect him. but want TO warn the free
silver Democrats of the country that
they cannot hope to secure enough votes
from the Populsts to elect Mr.. Bryan by
reviling and deriding their candidate
I represent men who pray before they
fight. men who have no lust for office,
men who have sacrificed everything for
principle and have withstood ridicule,
Misrepresentation and oStrac1Sm Tor
conscience sake. You cannot laugh down
a cause for which 800 600 men have
cast their votes
These men are beginning to realize
that their party has been sold out. IL
has been fused away. Unless they are
treated fairly and respectfully by the
free silver Democrats thousands OF men
will stay away from the polls in Novem-
Der. Already the Populist papers which
are indorsing fusion in the West are los
ing circulation and those which are
fighting it are gaining circulation. Sen
ator Buffers paper is losing rapidly, so
is Senator Stewards Silver Knight.
But the Populist editors in Georgia,
Missouri. Texas, Indiana, Kansas and
other States who are opposing the sur
render of the Populist party to the
Democrats find that their circulation is
increasing at very rapid rate. That
tells the story.

THE CZAR AND CZARINA.
THEY LEAVE BALMORAL AND
ARRIVE AT PORTSMOUTH.
viii Cross Over to Cherbourg and
Arrive i'm France
To-Day.

PORTSMOUTH, Oct. 4.-The special
train from Ballater, Scotland, bearing
the Gar and Czarina and the members
of their suites, arrived here at $50
o'clock this afternoon. Their majesties
appeared none the worse for their long
journey from the highlands, where they
had been the guests of the Queen at
Balmoral. Everything was in readi-
ness here for their departure for Cher
bourg, and a great display Of flags,
etc, was made in honor of the brief
visit of their majeStieS.
The Right Hon. George J. Goschen,
First Lord of the Admiralty; Admiral
Sir Frederick Richards, Rear Admiral
Sir Frederick Beford, Rear Admiral Sir
John Fischer, Captain G.. H. Noel and
Austin Chambers, the other Lords of
the Admiralty, and other officers of the
navy were present on the platform
when the train arrived. The Duke of
Connaught who accompanied the i'm
perial party from Ballater, presented
the naval officers and other officials to
the Car and Czarina.
After a short delay at the station the
party boarded the Russian imperial
yacht Polar Star. AS they went on
board the warships in the harbor fired
royal salute.
The Gar has instructed M. de Staal
the Russian ambassador to Great
Britain, to express to the public his
pleasure at the hearty reception that
has been extended to him during his
visit.
1t was the original intentin of tho
Gar to leave Portsmouth tonight and
arrive at Cherbourg at about 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning, but his sailing has
been deferred until o'clock to-mor-
row and he will not arrive in France
until about p. m.
FULL OF VISITORS.
PARIS, Oct. 4.-The city is full of
visitors from the provinces and else
where to take part in the fetes in honor
of the Gar. Forty thousand people
are walking the streets tonight, having
been unable to secure accommodations.
The omnibuses and tramcars were lit
orally packed with humanity and great
crowds of people are standing along the
streets waiting patiently to find some
means of conveyance. The cab and car
riage drivers are taking advantage of
the great influx of visitors and are
charging fancy prices for the use Of
their vehicles, little attention being
paid to the established tariff. This,
however, does not cause much fault
finding, as the crowd is a holiday one
and spend their money freely. From
present indications it looks as though
his majesty will be surprised by the
warmth of the reception that will be
accorded him.
President Faure has gone in state to
Cherbourg to await the coming of the
Gar He is accompanied by the Presi-
dent Of the Senate, the President of the
Chamber of Deputies, Baron de Moren-
helm, the Russian ambassador to
France; Count Lannes des Montebelo,
French ambassador to Russia, and a
number Of prominent naval and mill
tary officers.
The French northern squadron, REIN
forced by warships from Rochefort and
Breslau, will meet the Russian yachts
outside the Cherbourg roads at ?
o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

CHAIRMAN BUTLER'S IDEAS.
DOES NOT THINK FUSION WILL
BE DEFEATED IN INDIANA.
He Has Found the Populists Eager
to Fuse in Nearly All
the States.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-Populist
Chairman Butler does not think that
fusion will be defeated in Indiana. He
says the conditions there are different
from any other State except West Vir-
ginia. Both the National Committees
have urged all the State leaders where
fusion was desirable to steer clear of all
alliances concerning Congressman and
State candidates until the arrangement
of the electoral slate. Chairman But
Ter, in almost every State except Indl-
ana and West Virginia, has found the
Pcpulists eager to fuse on Congressman
and State nominees.
1t has been with considerable diff
Guilty that he has restrained the Popu-
list State leaders from involving these
with what was to be the Populist Ma
tional Committee paramount. But in
Indiana and West Virginia he says the
Democrats have tried to force fusion of
the State and Congressional nominees
upon the Populists as a condition or
fusion upon the electoral ticket.
Both he and Chairman Jones have Ia
bored with the leaders in Indiana. The
Populists there, in compliance with adj
vices from the National Committee,
have certified to an electoral ticket or
ten Democrats and five PopullStS.
Chairman Butler says that the ticket
will stand as far as the Populists are
concerned. Should the Democrats re-
fuse to pull down five Of their electors,
which he regards as improbable, the
Populists will simply vote for the ten
Democrats, and if Bryan loses the
ether five in November the blame Will
rest upon the Democrats.
The situation in West Virginia he
says is about the same. The Populists
have certified to two electors of their
own party and four Democrats. They
refuse all overtures for fusion on the
State ticket and intend to persist in it.
Rut here, as in Virginia, Chairman
Butler is confident that complete fusion
will ultimately be arranged.
