Mr.. Thomas E. Watson is four years
older than the head of the ticket. He
was born In Columbia county, this state,
in 1856, which makes him quite old enough
to be Vice President, in the event that
he wins. He received a common school
education in Columbia county, and then
went to Mercer University at Macon. But
he was not graduated from that institu-
leaVe 1t for lack of funds. After leaving
Mercer he taught school for two years,
during which time he was attracted to
the law. The sketch of Mr.. Watson in
the Congressional Directory of the Fifty
second congress, which sketch he is sup
posed to have written himself, says that
he read law for few weeks under Judge
A. r. McLaws of Augusta, and then was
admitted to the bar 1t is evident that
Mr.. Watson must have been a voraclous
reader and have a wonderfully receptive
mind, for after he had read law for a
few weeks under Judge McLaws he began
the practice of the profession at Thom-
son, which is still his home That was
in 1876. Almost as soon as he became a
lawyer Mr.. Watson began to dabble in
politics. He was democrat in those
days, and as such was elected TO the
Georgia Legislature in 1SS2-S3. In
1888 he was a democratic pres
idential elector for the state at
large, and in 1890 was elected to congress
from the Tenth district as a democrat It
was while a member of congress that Mr.
and espoused the principles of the people
or populist party. He was one of the first
men in Georgia into the new party move
ment, and from the first has been the rec
ognized head of the party. There were lots
of stories told about how he made himself
eligible to membership in the farmers al
lance by planting squash vines in flower
pots in his front yard, and by burning his
law books. But those stories were proba-
bly, baseless. Mr.. Watson is, and has been
for number of years, a farmer as well as
lawyer; and he is pretty good at both
undertakings He raises probably as fine
crops as any man in his section. and Me is
often retained in difficult lawsuits, espe-
cially on the criminal side OF the court. He
bright lawyer, and pretty clever fellow
all around. Even those who differ from
him in politics are willing to admit that
he IS thoroughly in earnest, and believes
he is right. 1t will hardly be questioned
that he is about as good vice presidential
timber as the populists possess.

SOUND MONEY DEMOCRATS.
The Movement for a New Ticket Co
ing Along slowly.

Chicago, July 25.-The executive COM
mittee of the sound money national DEM
ocracy was busy to-day communicating
by telegraph and mail with leading sound
money democrats in other states with a
view of securing prompt organization and
the selection of provisional national COM
mitteemen for the meeting in Indianapolis
on Aug. to arrange the time and place
for holding the national convention and
issue the call therefor. The executive COM
mittee desires, SO far as feasible that men
of national prominence and party influence
should be named as committeeman, so that
the call of the convention to be signed by
them shall carry as great weight as possi-
BILE. As soon as national committeeman are
secured by the action of the state organ
izations or the executive committees cor
Tespondence their names viii be made pub
lie. Mr. Bynum of Indiana and Mr.. Rob
bins of Illinois are doing most of the cor
respondence work.
Encouraging kilograms continued to come
in to-day from eastern supporters of the
third ticket movement.

morning was most Critical" He had
but two aspiratiOns-one was to preserve
untarnished and unbrol1en the great prin-
ciples of the party and the other was to
preserve the party organization "for pres

the country"
He assumed that all the delegates had
read in the papers this morning the tele-
gram from Mr.. Bryan declining to accept
the nomination of the peoples party, dis
associated from Mr. Sewall. mo man,
said Mr.. Weaver, could have done less
and be man. Mr.. Bryan's attitude chal-
lenges the respect of every delegate pres
ent, and of every man who reads the pro-
ceedtngs Of this convention"
But" he continued, this is a greater
question than the personality of our can

gram 1 utterly refused-and / now utter
ly refuse-to concur with the desire either
of Mr. Bryan or of Senator Jones as to
who shall be the nominee OF this conven-
ton"
The rest of Mr.. Weaver's speech was
read from a typewriter copy and put
Mr. Bryan in nomination.
Mr. Bryan's name was received with
applause, the whole convention standing
on chairs and waving hats. A gigantic
wooden cross, surmounted by a golden
crown, thus reversing Mr.. Bryan's fam
Gus epigram. was brought in and carried
around the hall. The guidons Of the states
were raised and a vociferous attempt
was made to raise enthusiasm, but with

der by the permanent chairman
Senator Allen, this morning. at
9:45 O'Clock, and after prayer bv the
Rev. Mr.. Kent Of Washington. the chair
man repeated his ruling last night that the
amendment adopted by the convention
giving the nomination OF a Vice President
preference over a President. made the Sc
lection Of the national committeeman the
next order.
Mr. Burkett Of California protested that
this was not so and contended that the
rule simply transposed the nomination Of
Vice President and President
The chairman replied that the gentle
mans statement Of facts was entirely
mistaken and went on with the naming
Of the national committee. When this
was completed he called next for the COM
mlttees on notification.
The sergeant-at-arms said that their
contract with the business mems associa-
tion (which included the supply of music)
had run out, so that there would be no
band to-day. Unappreciative delegates
greeted this announcement with cries of
Good" and cheers
The chair announced that the next or
der OF business was nominations for Pres

form to make a motion and a speech.
The latter was TO the effect that this was
one OF the most important conventions
that had ever assembled on American
soil, as 1t was to name a man who was
not only to head the ticket, but who was
to be elected
At this point the speech was interrupt
ed by points Of order, which irritated Mr..
Green to the extent of making him leave
the stand. He was, however, induced to
come back, and the rules were suspended
to enable him TO 80 on in order. He de-
clared, however, that his self-respect
would prevent him saying anything, and
he retired for good.

that state, after addressing his brothers
and sisters of the convention" yielded to
