The bargain has been closed afte,

there is of the populist party worth

party which claimed to be the incarpa

convention would have accepted Till
man unhesitatingly, whom the popo
ciats should have nominated, but tc
ask it TO swallow the Lone Fisherman
who is about all the things the popu.
lists have been denouncing, was toe
much.
Therefore, in order to trap the mid
dle-of-the-road" men, they were nj.
owed TO nominate the impossible Tom
Watson for vice president. Then in the
teeth of declarations from Bryan that
lie would not allow Sewall TO be sac
rificed, the convention proceeded tc
nominate Bryan.
The bargain struck between the popu.
list leaders and the Bryan managers il.
that Watson, the stool pigeon. is to be
put of the ticket in the course of time.
Watson may not like it, but he cannot
help himself. The honor bestowed upon
him is n barren one.
The populist national committee
which is in Bryan's hands, has been
gwen "plenary powers over the party
