Tho candidate had just begun his tour through

ALBANY, Oct. 10.-The Secretary of State has
already prepared for distribution the sample
blanket ballot, and the Peoples party column
is headed with tho names of William J. Bryan
for President and Thomas 4. Watson for Vice
President. The Populst state Convention, held
In the city OF Syracuse on Oct. .. endorsed Sew
ALL instead OF Watson. Lawrence J. McParlan
of Lockport called on Secretary Palmer to-day
and asked him to substitute the name of Sew
all for Watson At the head OF the Popullst
column as the candidate for Vice. President.
He told the Secretary that the electors In the
Populist column were tho same as those in the
Democratic party column, and that to keep tho
name OF Watson at the head OF the Populiet
column would be to practise deceit upon tho
Populist voters, as the Democrats had not kept
their implied agreement OF substituting several
Populist electors In their party column.
Secretary Palmer tod Mr.. McParlan that the
Popullst National Convention had nominated
Bryan and Watson, and that under the Election
law OF this State these names were to be placed
at the head Of the party column of the Populists
on the ballot used In this State. The Secretary
said he could not recognize the endorsement of
Sewall by the Populists' State Convention, but
that the action of the National Convention Of
the Populist party was binding upon him as re-
cards the names which shall head the Populst
MIR. McParlan was much disturbed over the
situation. He said:
The Democrats having failed to give tho
Populists any representation upon the electoral
ticket. II is unjust that the Populsts should be
deceived Into voting for the electors in the
Populist column under the impression that they
