[BY TELEGRAPH TO rRIBUSEI
Atlanta Ga oct S-Thomas f. Watson, who
is at his home ir Thomson. where he Is supposed
to he incubatg his letter OF acceptance OF the
Populist Vice Pres sidential nomination. has been
mute since yesterdays election, but the contents
of his Peoples Party Paper" out tonight,
would seem TO indicate that he has no idea or
getting off the ticket. 1t was predicted in these
DISPATCHES several days ago that Watson would
soon either decline the nomination or call Tor
"a Middle Of the Road ticket. To-nights issue or
his paper would seem to point to the latter
course The pape.' was neld back day for the
returns of yesterdays election, and the leading
editorial IL de oted TO that subject. 1t claims
the election of twenty Representatives, and -FOUR
or five Senators. and declares that the result ot
the contest leaves the Populists holding more
offices than ever befJrc.
Following this is a significant editorial headed
"No Watson. No Bryan the text for which Is
n declaration Of The Atlanta Constitution thal
"it would be thousand times better Tor the
people for Mr. Walton and the aLti-fusiohls's
TO be- defeated thar for the Democratic standard
of the Hanna Nc Kinlcy syndicate" and calling
on Watson to follow the example or kolb' OF
Alabama In answer To this Watsons paper
says sarcastically
