Mr.. Washburn of PopuIist Committee
Urges All Populists to Support
Him

Chicago, Oct. 27.-G. f. Washburn Of
the PopulIst national committee. who
returned from Georgia yesterday. de-
elared in am Interview last night that
all fusion negotiations between Sena-
tor Jones and himself are off. He said
There was fusion pending and we
were arranging these matters: it was
flashed over The wires that the Georgia
and Tennessee Democrats had rejected
the overtures made by the Populists
and adjourned without making coun-
ter proposition. As those Two states
were involved in our arrangements. this
action rendered it impossible Tor US to
continue negotiations.
They were broken off and a confer
ence arranged with Mr. Watson and
Mr. Reed ait Nashville. that I might re-
port to them the facts Of the case
The responsibility Of all this must
rest squarely upon the Georgia and
Tennessee Democracy. They seemed
more anxious 10 defeat the Populists
than to elect Bryan. and, whatever the
results, the odium Of their unpatriotic
action must rest upon them.
In all justice to Senator Jones, I
must say that from the beginning he
has been eager to remove all compiled
lions and effect an eQuitable fusion in
every state and thus unite all the silver
forces for Bryan and victory
All negotiations are now at an end,
and whether our candidates have been
recognized to the extent they should or
Populist shall prove his patriotism in
helping at the polls TO elect Bryan, just
as they did in nominating him at St.
