Taken on the Ticket.

lola, Kan, Sept 11.--Tom Watson, the
populist vice presidential candidate, spoke
here to-day to an audience OF 1000 people.
His address was made al the fair grounds
in a rain storm. In his speech he justified
the present existence of the peoples party
by the statement that the republicans had
betrayed the people IN the crime OF '7s.
and the democrats by the crime Of '93.
Both parties had assisted in killing the
greenback party by asking them
to trust them. To the democrats
in the south and the repub-
licans in the west he said: II am the
only representative which the peoples
party now has on the national ticket. II
! ann removed, Bryan will lose Texas.
Tennessee and Kentucky at least. To take
me Off the ticket splits the silver party
and elects Mckinley"
Continuing, he said that Mr.. Sewall was
not true silver man. HE has not had
the disease long enough" He called Sew
all bondholder. railroad king, millionaire,
a supporter Of McKinleys tariff idea, and
said he was president Of the Merchants
Marine Association OF Philadelphia, which
asks for higher protection.
Mr.. Watson speaks at Abilene to-mor-
row night, from which point he goes to
Colorado, his Nebraska trip having been

Up Magazine.

Constantinople, Sept. 11.-An Armenian
bomb factory was discovered by the po-
lice yesterday located underneath the Ar
menian church, near the Kassim Pasha
cemetery. From the factory a long tun-
mel had been excavated in the direction
of the government powder magazine, the
intention obviously having been to UNDER
mine the magazine and blow It up.
The government officials are urging the
foreign residents Of the city to sign me-
mortal thanking the sultan for the protec-
ton his majesty has afforded them. A
number of Englishmen consulted Sir Phil
lip Currie, the British ambassador, as to
the advisability Of signing the memorial,
and were advised by the ambassador to
tear up the document and throw the
pieces into the faces OF the officials that
presented them.
The mosques were placarded on Wednes-
day with an appeal TO the government
on the part OF a number OF army officers
that they receive their arrears of pay
without delay, otherwise the officers must
help themselves.

report from its committee, tabled It ana
discharged the committee.

the silver party asking fusion with them
only.
The apportionment as arranged for In
the report gave the governor and attor-
ney general to the democrats. the secre-
tary OF state and superintendent OF pub
lie instruction to the silver party and the

Raleigh, NJ c., Sept. 1.-THE populist

chairman declines to say whether the

turned from that state last night, "but

electors in our state. We are against the

''Will the fusion with the republicans on

Mr.. Butler was asked.
IF such an arrangement had been
made" replied Senator Butler evasively,
'our candidate for governor would have

three-cornered race for governor and IL
we elect ours, as / have no doubt we will,

Lynchburg. Va, Sept. n.-Ex-Gov.
Cameron spoke here tonight in the opera
house to a large audience in behalf of
Palmer and Buckner and the gold stand
ard There were about 500 negroes and
700 white persons present. Among the lat
ter there was a large majority of regu-
lar democrats. Col. Cameron, for the first
half hour of his speech was so often in
terrupted by cheers for Bryan and by the
disorder prevailing in the hall that his
remarks were lost to the audience. Final
ly an appeal was made to the audience
by the editor of the Daily News to give
Col Cameron a fair hearing, and after
this there was comparative quiet. Col.
Camerons speech was not as able pre-
sentation of the currency question as his
reputation had led many to expect, but
this was probably due to the disorder in
the beginning.
