Watson's personal organ, but which, he
says, he has not been editing directly
during this campaign, contains severe
attack on Marion Butler and his fusion
deals. The paper is full Of editorials
which have every indication OF having
been written by Watson himself. Speak
ing of the fusion deals, 1t says:
"The action of the committee is con-
sidered as direct slap at the Popuiist
candidate, and the public insult thus
put upon him has been a source of Keen
enjoyment to the Democrats and Repub-
licans, who fused with Butler to nght
Watson.
The mistake Mr.. Butler has made al
through the campaign is in believing ~
was his duty to elect the Democratic
ticket. Bryan and Sewall. That was not
is duty at all. His loyalty and services
were due to the Populist ticket, Bryan
and Watson. He was put at the head OF
the committee to act with Watson ana
for Watson. He has acted without MT.
