WATSON HOLDS THE FORT.

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 3.-GeO. +. Wash
burne, chairman of the Chicago branch
of the national committee of the Peo-
pies party, when asked What have
you to say in regard to the report from
Atlanta that Watson is to withdraw"
said:
Il can brand il as lie. 1t is a news
paper sensation sprung in the absence
of encouraging news to influence the
Georgia election next week. l have
lust received a telegram and letter
from Watson which has no reference
to this press report, but on the contra
~ referred to his tour through the
west which he will make at the close
of the Georgia campaign. | am sur
prised that this fake dispatch should
have been circulated by the Democrat
ic papers in Atlanta, as the Democrats
know that the only hope they have Of
holding our Populist vote for Bryan
is through the continuance of Mr.Wat-
son on the ticket. He could not with
draw if he desired to. Our people
would rebel at the thought. He is too
much a patriot to do it and has no
such thought or intention. He will
remain our candidate TO the end and
in the campaign confine himself to
states where the Bryan and Watson
electoral tickets are in the field. Flu
sion has been accomplished in nearly
all the states. Our electoral tickets
will remain in the fell and enough
will be elected to becd ,ne a very i'm
portant factor in the electoral college
and help Mr.. Bryan to he our next
president"

HOW is IT?

Governor Culberson declares that
during his administration the laws
have been economically and justly ad-
ministered. viii he please tell ms
overwhelmed constituents, whose
daughters are in the cotton patch, how
it is that Harrison county, which has
only 1886 poll tax payers, gets $780,
500 out of the school fund, while John
son county, which shows poll list OF
5.913, gets only S22,5S6? William
son county has GASP polls, and Wash
ington county has 1862, yet Washing
ton county gets 5000 more from the
public school fund than Williamson.
This is on a par with his ideas Of JUS
tice on other lines. Read between the
lines and compare the character of
population, and you will see why 1t is
done.-Southern Mercury.

.sIcDoNALD's REVOLT.

No matter if Mr.. Williams was jus
titled in charging the negro Mcdonald
with selling out to Culberson, he has
placed his reason for quitting the
Green committee upon higher grounds
than can be occupied by any fusiOnist
in the state. Mcdonald may have
sold out to the Democracy, but he can
justify his course by charging that the
Republicans, at least the black and
tan organization, has sold out to the
Populists.
Should fusion be announced as con-
,summated and the contracting par
ties sign the contract and appeal to
their cohorts to make it good at the
polls we will witness a whole host
following the negro McDonald's ex-
ample.-All party obligations being re-
moved, license is given to every one
to do as they please. We have had
fusion before in Texas; the Geo. Clark
campaign is not forgotten-in which
the Republican party was turned over
at a state convention to Geo. Clark
the Jeffersonian Democratic candi-
date for governor;-the negro vote of
the state went almost in body for
Hogg. Did they sell out, or did they
merely vote their preference as be-
tween the two Democratic candidates.
Once that party obligations are re-
moved, the license is given to go in
any direction and the colored voter is
happy when he experiences his free
dom from party obligations. The
negro Mcdonald will not be alone in
his revolt, if the reform Republicans
are ignored by the gentlemen who are
now manipulating the Mckinley can
vass in Texas. Unfortunately the
aggregation, Grant, Terrell, Green,
Huston lack the ability to grapple
with the sentiment of the people of
Texas. They don't know them.
George Clark's vote was largely com
posed of white Republicans, men who
were glad of a chance to relieve their
feelings at the ballot box. The Re
publican party had fallen far below
par; its state convention had been a
miserable spectacle of bribery and
.corruption-a struggle between negro
Acknowledgment shameless in ev-
cry particular. Clark was defeated.
The men who voted for Clark are to-
day in the Republican party, but they
will revolt at a fusion that betrays
their principles, and offers them little
in return.

TANNING BUILDING ASSOCIA-

Terre Haute, Ind, Oct. 3.-One of
the results of the investigation made
by Tax Ferret Lihr in Vigor county
last winter was the assessment of
building and loan associations, with
the exception of the Wabash, Enter
prise and College associations, COM
promised the claims and paid in large
sums of money. Suits were brought
against the auditor, enjoining him from
assessing the associations for their
paid-up stock. Judge Henry ruled
that the associations are not taxable
on paid-up stock, for the reason that
paip-up stock is evidence of the com
pany's debts, instead of credits.
