take. for there can be but one ticket
counted; and as / is to T. so is Watson's
chances to SewalPs. Then, my friends,
If you place principle above party, as you
have often said, and are really in earnest
about reform and the election of Bryan,
you should show your faith by your
works in voting for Bryan and Sewall.
The democratic party demands this-the
silver party demands 1t; many of your
best leaders and thousands of the rank
and file of your own party demand 1t. But
you say Sewall Is not a reformer. In an
swer to this, wish to callsgour attention
to his letter of acceptance, which l con-
slider the most mastery effort In the in
tefest of reform of anything that has
yet appeared-nothing from Bryan nor
Watson excepted-and shows conclusive
ly that its author is none but genuine
reformer.
l would gladly support Mr. Watson If
thought he was the strongest man, but /
know he is not; hence, for the sake of
reform, I shall vote for Mr.. Swaziland
just how any other reformer can reach
any other conclusion is "a great mystery
which believe the near future will solve.
Wouldn't you rather have Bryan and
Sewall-remember Bryan heads your own
ticket-than to have Mckinley and Ho-
bart? If so, then vote for them. Other
wise your conduct will be a very grave
reflection upon your intelligence or your
sincerity.
1 know you think the democrats have
said hard things about you, and have not
treated you with fair consideration, and
all such things; but let me tell you, my
poor, sunburnt, weather-beaten farmers,
and fire-burnt, smutty and dusty SHOP
men and miners-I say, my dear frlends,
listen. listen!-you can't afford now when
there is so much at stake, to cut off your
noses to spite your faces. For we have
dsfgured ourselves almost beyond rec
ognition by such foolshness already
while the money schemers have been sit
ting back chuckling in their sleeves at
us. You claim you have converted the
democratic party to your confession of
faith; yet when they come up and offer
their hands in fellowship, you draw back
and threaten to commit political suicide.
Poor Peter! Poor Peter!

Editor State Herald:
Probably the most embarrassed man
In the United States today is Mr.. Thomas
e. Watson, nominee for vice-president on
the peoples party ticket. If he stays in
the race, he proves to the world that he
has not been sincere in his advocacy of
the reform movement and his demands
that every man to be classed as a pa
triotic citizen must put the good of his
country above the interests of his party.
He also proves that he is no better man
than the (plutocratic) Sewall, whom he so
vigorously denounces through the COL
umns of that contemplate sheet, the New
York World. On the other hand, If he
should decide that the reform movement
is greater than one man or party, and to
be consistent with his past teachings he
must sacrifice party and self and come
down; he runs the risk of having "his
throat cut with q razor from ear to ear"
as DR.. Grove is reported to have said
should be his fate in case he did come
down. If the positions occupied by Mr..
Watson and DR.. Grove is true populism,
then for the past four years the writer
has been misled, and it is time for every
man who loves his country better than
his political party to seek some other
more patriotic party than the peoples
party. / believe there are very few real
populists in the state of Alabama who are
willing to sacrifice the principles they
have advocated for the past four years
in order that the vanity of any man or set
of men may be pandered to. / would
like to ask Mr.. Watson if he indorses the
bloody-flux sentiments of DR.. Grove. If
he does I am not at all surprised that the
peoples party has sustained such signal
defeats in the elections held in Alabama
Arkansas and Georgia this year
Populists of Alabama, do your duty on
November 8 by casting your vote for Bry-
an and Sewall and the free silver demo-
cratic nominees for congress, and thus
prove your patriotism by your consistent
cy in voting the ticket that stands the
best show of winning, and that is pledged
to put your demands on the statute books
of the United States and then see that
they are enforced.
You now have chance to get relief,
and If you do not avail yourselves of 1t, in
the future hold your peace and gracefully
submit to the heel of tyranny.
