Will SewaII Withdraw?

Will Sewall take his name from the
ticket and betray democracy into the
hands OF the populists entirely is one Of the
questions engaging the attention of poll
ticians.
Tom Watson's statement that Sewall can
carry nothing, not even his own family,
receives new emphasis from the tremen-
dous Republican majority Maine gave in
Mondays election. George F. Wash
burn, chairman of the western branch OF
the populist national committee, in reply to
the question, do you think Sewall should
resign said II certainly do and the state
OF Maine also says SO. agree with Tom
Reed that 'Sewall's star sinks and Wat
sons rises.'" This sentiment is growing
both among populists and democrats, and
soon there will be but one thing for Mr..
Sewall to do.
Poor Sewall, ridiculed by the democrats
and despised by the populists, finds him
self in company where he is not wanted.
In the picturesque language Of his running
mate, Tom, he is every day realizing more
and more that he is but wart on the log
of popocracy.
