Tor hlm. IT he carries a0wa 1t will be the Populists who carry it for him. If he car rles the great state CT Texas it will be the Populists who give it to him. And I Duf IL to you Democrats, if you want our votes don't you think you ought to tote fain With us? You say, let's go into copart- nership,p but you want to be both part. ners. Why. even that kind of t copartner- ship where the law says that man and wife are one, but 1t takes two to make the bargain, and yet you Dem. oefats who can't get along with. out our ,s000u0 votes say that our partnership ought to consist of the same two partners, and You want to be both We'll, We want to fuse with you; we don't want to swallow you and we don't intend that ypa shall swallow us. ftsreat cheer ing. You ask US Co take Watson off the | ticket Why Would you be so blind as to defeat Mr Bryan by taking Watson off l Of his ticket Even in the height of politi. cal passion and prejadice, why would you defeat MT. Bryan hy demanding that Wat. son come of the ticket? The moment I got oft theticket there would be thousands CT protests from people who would not consent 10 any such arrangement. Cries of No Watson, no Bryan. ' l have no iii will against any man that lives. I cherish no animoslty because of past associations l came to Texas not to stir Up strife be- tween two men. but to try and make peace among all of our people. I come to speak
 
 mony between the Democrats and Popu- lists. If Mir. Bryan is elected, the Demo. crats must realize that it cannot possibly be done without the Populist vote. The Populists have gone as faras they could go We went outside of our party to give tt Democrat the first place on our ticket We could have gone on further. No self respecting Democrat could have asked any more.
 We don't want to destroy the peoples ! w...ET ticket it means the death Of the Populist party. If you are honest in demanding silver legislation yon should not want the party to die Where would the silver cause have been in 1891 and in 1892 if it had not been for the Peoples partyP Ask some body else to kill the Peoples party, but don't ask me. l sat by it's cradle. l have fought its battles. 1 have supported its principles since it's organization. have taken pride ill it's growth, its sorrows have been my sorrows and don't ask me after all of my service with the Peoples party to kill it now am going to stand by 1t till it dies, and l want no man to say that was the man who stabbed it to the heart. The Peoples party must never die. It was the Peoples party, my friend, that made the Democrat come to taw. tCheers. We were u coal of fire on the terrapin's back, and it never had any idea of travelling un- til it felt the force of the fire We have been showing them ill the last four years what we could do, We don't ask the Dem ocrats to throw down their muskets, and when they ask us to give tip our guns we say please excuse Us. You keep yours and we will keep our'n. If you had both the guns the temptation to shoot might be too strong to resist. We can't let you get the drop on us that way. If you mean to be fair you ought not to want us to give up our guns. You would want us to keep them just as you keep yours. Your leaders have fooled us i'll the past just as they have fooled you in the past, and there is no reason why they may not do it again: If the Peoples Party were dead the old leaders might get in again, and then where would we be- Just where Moses was when the light went out. Sewall has got to come down He brings no votes to Bryan; he drives voters away from Bryan. l would bring votes to Bryan and would bring thousands of them Sewall can como down without hurting his party. have got to stand on the ticket where my friends placed me. I can't come down. You may try to run me off, but am going to fight before you do 1t. MT. Sewall is national banker, and therefore out of touch with his people. Mr. Sewall is railroad king and therefore out of touch with the people. Mir Sewall is bondholder, and therefore out of touch with the people. And make bold here to say that Mir. Bryan, himself has laid down the rule, which, If carried out, will take MT. Sewall off the ticket.
 
 platform Watson does. Let Sewall scoot and Watson arrive. He should remember the contract between us, which, suppose, is binding on both parties.
 | understand that there is feeling here of resentment against MT. Bryan, because he has not accepted our nomination. and because he does not accept me as bis run ming mate. You must realize that MT. Bryans position Is one of difficulty, and you must realize that he can only actwhen 1t becomes absolutely necessary to act. Ii was not absolutely necessary for him to act until the Peoples party had done It's duty. Our national committee has not dono ita duty, but pledge you my word that it shall do it's duty. Senator Butler, the chairman of the committee, has given me his word of honor that the notification ot Bryan and Watson will take place not later than the 18th of this month, and when Bryan Iis notified, he will accept; don't you doubt 1t. Do you suppose that he can afford to insult 800, 900 voterss Has he got money to burnf Has he got votes to throw away! II the gentleman doesn't want those l.800, 900 votes, why did Senator Jones go to St. Louis and beg for themy A voice; Will you accept? Yes, l will accept [Cheers l tell you this: 1 not only give you my statement that will ac- eept, but pledge you my word that Bryan will make statement, and he will accept. I am not going to be made foot mat for some politician to wipe his feet on. I advise you as advised the boys in Geor- gia, to stand by the St Louis platform and the nominees of the St. Louis convection. You must do it. 1 am going from here to Kansas and ask of the west that it stand by the ticket US it should do; that it take down the Bryan and Sewall electors apd put up Bryan and Watson electors. We want the contract carried cut there Let's make the same rule apply here in Texas. Stick toyour Bryan and Watson electors. Cheers; Have no Sewall on them, have no Mckinley Don't put Mckinley on your ticket; don't yon do it.
 Boys. let's be honest and let's be consist. ent and let's practice what we preach. II we support Sewall we will not be practic- ing what we preach, and if we support Mckinley we will be doing the same thing. [Cheers. But must stop. lCries of No, No. l. Let me say in conclusion-lA voice, '.Tell about Indianapolis T Let every man manage his own funeral. Wells. laughter and cheers l appeal to all the people to vote for Peoples party in this campaign.
