WATSON'S PLAIN TALK.
What He Said About "Bill Bryan" In His
Popuiist Papor Recently.


What He Said About "Bnl Bryan" In His
Popuiist Papor Recently.
On the train from Chicago ON Sunday
night were a number Of delegates to the
Chicago convention who were warm
friends of and close political associates
of Mr.. Bryan. In the usual open con-
versation Of the smoking room they all
agreed that the candidates. private life
was beyond reproach, but even his
friends declared that he would have
difficulty in explaining TO the old line
Democrats all over the country the pc.
culiar methods he has adopted regard
ing fusion with the Populists or any
one else who could subserve his inter-
ests.
Ono of the delegates, speaking from
his intimate knowledge Of Mr.. Bryan
both as politician and editor, said
frankly: 1.-The hardest thing Bill Bryan
will have TO contend with will be the
necessity of keeping his mouth shut"
Don't you suppose that the rank and
file can see the way in which the Bryan
managers are now dickering with Tam
many Hall, David b. Hill and the Wall
street influences?
What is being offered those goldbugs
of New York?
What price do they ask? At what fig
ure are they to sell and you to buy?
Upon what terms are these colossal
goldbug influences going to throw their
support TO free silver candidatep
Mr. Crisp knows. He knows how he
made the deal with them for the speak
crship, and he can arrange accordingly
for the presidency. He knows how in
1892 there was an open pledge to the
people and secret pledge to Wall
street, and he knows who got the goods.
And the Populist rank and file know
1t too.
The rank and file in the Peoples Par
ty are its bosses, and they mean to re-
main SO.
They can see that instead of free sill
yer being stronger in the Democratic
party than Lefore it is weaker. They
can SEQ that the goldbug Democrats are
on the constant increase. L
Therefore the Populist rank and file
intend to do all in their power to foil
and repudiate those leaders who may
have listened TO the tempter. The rank
and file will take the bit in their own
teeth and travel right straight along in
the middle of the road.
As we said last week, Bryan will find
his hands tied, if elected, and can no
more secure the passage of a free coin
age law than Cleveland secured tariff
reform.
The Democratic plan Of campaign
seems to be that Bryan is to run the
windmill while Sewall runs the pay
train. If Sewall rattles out his cash rs
fast as Bryan rattles off speeches, times
are going to become lively. Even the
negro Democrat will rouse himself,
shake his ears and begin to find life
worth living.

PROSPERITY OR PANIC.
Andrew Carnegie's Opinion on the
Results Of Presidential Election.

Pittsburg. Oct. 20-Andrew Carnegie
leaves for New York tomorrow morning
after spending several days in Pitts
burg attending to business matters.
Before leaving Mr.. Carnegie complied
with the requests of the newspapers for
an interview upon political and busi-
ness matters. When asked for his Opin-
ion whether Mckinley would be elected,
he said: Yes, l am quite sure of ii,
the only question is one of majority"
What do you think of the outlook
for business"
That depends upon the election of
the candidate who represents honest
money, law and order. If man like
Mr.. Bryan and such men as would COM
pose his cabinet, if elected, We're placed
in charge of the nation by the Ameri-
can people, there would be paralysis
of business; but if Mckinley is elected,
I believe the country is going to have
a period of prosperity that will rank
with any In it's history. The country
has been depressed for some years,
prices for all commodities are low,
stocks are light, wheat, cotton and pro-
visions are In demand; the country will
gain nearly two hundred and fifty mil
lions Of dollars over last year in it's
trade balances with other nations; the
money Of the world is lying idle anx-
ious to invest in the United States,
and it will be largely invested when
ever it is satisfied that American peo-
pie have resolved to pay the same
money as they have received namely,
gold"
Mr.. Carnegie said: 1T Is Of no ad-
vantage to an employer to be able to
pay his workmen with silver dollars.
If every employer is able to do so, then
all are relatively in the same position
as before. The change from gold to
silver would precipitate such a panic
as would cause employers to lose hum
dreds of thousands of dollars, and 1t
would cause large concerns to lose mil
lions

WHEAT'S HIGHEST POINT.
The Record Of the Present Year Broken.
Excitement Of the Recent
Bulge Is Repeated.

Chicago, Oct. 20-Wheat closed today
at the highest point thus far for the
year. The trend Of the market was
downward until within half an hour Of
the close when prices steadied and then
strengthened. The excitement of the
recent bulge was repeated. The price
of December rose from 75ss to 78. Trad
ers had been looking for Bradstreet's
report to add impetus to the earlier de-
clining movements by showing heavy
increase in stocks, but 1t was announc-
ed toward noon that the report would
not be issued today, upon learning
which, those who had possessed of un-
usual temerity and had ventured to sell
short, quickly changed front and in
frantically endeavoring to cover, put
prices to where they were around the
opening.
Reported sales Of 100000 bushels at
New York for export to Lisbon and the
importation Of $5,0O0.000 in gold. hasten
ed the action of buyers and added to the
bull sentiment. Within a few minutes
of the termination of the session, an
other bulge placing prices a full cent
over the opening quotations took place.
1t was wild scramble, every broker
wanting to buy and none to sell. A
slight reaction took place subsequently,
but the close found the bull fever fully
rehabilitated. The range on December
was 3as and the close within &c. of the
outside at 7Sas, one cent higher than
yesterday.

INDIANA IS ALL RIGHT.
Poll Of the State Shows a Clear
Lead for Mckinley Of Nearly
Thirty Thousand Votes.

Chicago, Oct. 20.-As result of Ma
tional Chairman Hanna's call for a re-
port Of the exact condition of affairs
in the different states and a consulta-
tion of the several state chairmen. a
statement has been received from In
diana. 1t shows surprising gain for
the Republican ticket, and predicts a
plurality of at least $4,000 for McKin-
ley in that state.
The poll for tifty-four counties shows
a net gain for the Republican ticket of
q 900, while the estimated gains from
the remaining thirty-eight Cthere be-
ing ninety-twO in the state) show a
net gain of $4,000. making a total of
$4,000 Republican gain in the state. In
1892 the Democratic plurality was T.
900. which, deducted from the net gain
leaves u plurality for Mckinley of 2y,-
