HIcAGo, July 27.-Among those who

a gentleman who saw and read the
pressed dispatch from Mr.. Bryan to
bator Jones, chairman of the national
nocratic committee. He possesses o
fly good memory, and gives the fol-
ring as the substance of the docu-
nt about which there was SO much
( and excitement during the last day
the Populist convention. What is
Joined may be relied upon as being
bstantially correct:

Candidate Watson Has No In
tention of Withdrawing in
SeWall's Favor.
Offer of a Cabinet Position, He
Says, Would Not Alter
the Situation.
Accepted the Nomination to
Preserve the Party and
Will Stick.

NEW YORK, July 27.-The World
publishes the following dispatch from
Thomas E. Watson
To the questions asked me, reply as
follows:
First will run the race to the end.
SecOnd-I will make the fight, even
if Mr.. Sewall does not withdraw.
Third-My opinion Of the Fifty Sec
ond congress, which was arraigned in
my book, has undergone no change.
FOURTH am not a political trader
and will not resign in Sewall's favor,
even if offered a cabinet position.
Having answered your questions,
please allow me to state briefly my rea-
sons for the replies to questions Nos. l
and 2.
Iallowed the use of my name to save
my party from extinction.
In my opinion. the continued exist
ence of the Peoples party is indispens-
ible to the success of free silver For
me to withdraw would be for me to
Sign the Death Warrant
of my party. Ours is the party of free
silver and we maintained that princi-
pie while the Democratic party in 1892
and 1893 was making war upon it. We
do not think our party should now
close up and quit business simply be-
cause the Democrats have partially du-
plicated our sign board.
If the Democrats are so unreasonable
as to refuse us Populists of the South
any recognition at all that fact would
show that the real purpose of their APP
parent adoption of our principles is to
kill our party and not to enact those
principles into law
If Mr.. Bryan wants our support he
ought to be willing to adopt the policy
which will most certainly assure him
that support, and that policy is to ac-
cept as running mate Southern
Populist named by the unanimous voice
of the Populist national convention.

or. LOUIS, July 27.-The last session
the Populist convention, which lasted
rom 30 in the morning until almost
IN the afternoon, was marked by
Genes OF turbulence and noisy excite
lent which at times bordered on actual
pot' and which almost precipitated per-
|onal encounters.
The Bryan Populist managers started

eiegram; to ) nominate him and

ney started ont to rush his nomination
hrough before any other candidate
coaid be put in the field, but the inter
2erence was too much for them and
nelr line was broken.
General Weaver Of Iowa, the Populist
candidate in 1892, placed Bryan in nom
nation, and General Field of Virginia,
|who was his running mate, after a brief
speech, moved to make the nomination
unanimous. Chairman Allen held the

motion was decided the call of states

PopuIist Committee Thinks He Should

ST. LOUIS, July 27.--AlmOst all the
delegates to the national Populist and
Silver conventions which met in this
CITY last week have left for their homes
and nobody remains except few of
the leaders of both parties. Chairman
Butler and Secretary Edgerton, the
new officers of the Populist national
committee, are still at the Lindell
hotel. They held meeting during the
day, but little else than to talk over the
situation was done.
A rumor got out during the day to
the effect that the Populists would
withdraw Watson, their candidate for
vice president, if Sewal did not do So
A representative of the Associated
Press called ON Senator Butler and
asked him why, if his party de-
sired union of the silver forces, did
they nominate another candidate for
vice president.
To Preserve the organization.
Because" he said, 1--WE found that
by so doing our party organization could
be better preserved"
"Does not this selection lead to much
embarrassment"
"Oh, yes, but it was our only alter
native"
Twill the Democratic and Populist
national committees make some ar
rangement to unite their vote?'
THE two party organizations will be
kept entirely separate and distinct, and
the two campaigns will be conducted
separately on parallel lines, but we hope
to vote and be united" I"
1T is rumored that Mr.. Watson will
be withdrawn
This will not be done. The selec-
ton of Mr. Watson was deliberate ac-
tion by an overwhelming vote and
voiced the sentiment of delegates fresh
from the people, who themselves had
deliberated upon the situation since the
Chicago convention. The Peoples
party, in its desire to
Unity the Reform Forces
so as to make victory possible, met the
Democratic party more than half way
by taking their candidate for president,

NEW YORK, July 27.--A dispatch to
The World from Bath, Me-, says In
reply to a question as to the attitude
and plans in the new situation caused
by the Populist nomination of Bryan
and Watson, Mr. Sewall said, after a
pause:
well, the only statement l have to
make in regard to that is that the ac-
ton of the st. Louis convention does
not change my attitude or plans the
least particle"
"You have not, then, the slightest
thought of resigning. l suppose may
say you have no such thought?"
"Well, my answer to your first ques-
ton covers that equally well, replied
Mr.. Sewall.
"And you have no further statements
of any nature to maker" was asked.
"None whatever" Mr.. Sewall smiled
and said good humoredly, Good night. I"

the former sort.

of the old corn from this section is GO
ing to ST. Louis and New Orleans but
dealers from Northern, Western and
Southern points are all buying heavily.
The shipments, while enormous, do not
in any sense represent the business
done, as very large amount of corn
has been contracted for, but is held
awaiting cars. A great deal of the
corn is in unroofed cribs and on account
of the recent heavy rains it is too wet

GUTHRIE, 0. t.. July 27.--About two
weeks ago the commissioners appointed
to investigate Usage citizenship recon-
mended that over 100 halfbreeds should
be stricken from the rolls, but they
submitted separate reports, not being
able to agree upon the lists. Secretary
Smith has not yet passed upon any of
these reports, but the council of the
Usage nation, controlled by the full
bloods, has in special session passed an
act disfranchising all Of the halfbreeds.
The halfbreeds declare their intention
of voting at the national election Aug.
3, and trouble will likely occur.

HOMER, Mich, July 27.--A terrible
storm struck this village during the
evening. Roofs were lifted. houses
partly blown away, barns tipped over
and over half of the fine shade trees

have passed little to the northwest of
the town and many of the finest farm
houses in that vicinity laid in its path.
There were several narrow escapes of
persons caught out in the storm, but as
vet no one is reported as injured.

But in doing SO they opened the flood
gates, and for six hours the convention
was deluged with oratory Almost
every state and territory had its inning
on the platform. Most of the speakers
seconded Bryan's nomination About
90 seconding speeches were made, and
some of them were both eloquent and
brilliant. The middle-of- the-road con-
tingent insisted on knowing, at every
opportunity, whether, in view of his
telegram, Bryan would stand on the
platform and accept the nomination
But I'll Of these questions were neatly
parried. The Texas delegation then
sent message to Bryan, at Lincoln,
putting the direct question to him TO
this no answer was received, but the
Democratic candidate had benin

Stone of Missouri appeared on the plat
form with the Bryan message, bnt Sen
ator Allen would not permit him to read
1t to the convention, and Stone retired
very much disconnected. The Populist
leaders had decided to go ahead with
Bryan's nomination, irrespective of the
wishes of the Democratic managers.
When the roll was completed it was
found that Bryan had l,042 out of the
400 votes in the convention. Frank s.
Norton of Chicago was the only other
candidate. Ignatius Donnelly of Min
nesota and General Coxey, of industrial
army fame, were nominated, but their
names withdrawn. Norton received
82l votes, Eugene V. Debs 10 and Don.
