Brunswick, Ca; Aug. 25.-The Populist
executive committee of the Eleventh con-
gressional district meets on st. Simons
Island on Saturday next. 1t is confidently
expected that the convention will indorse
]. M. Wilkinson of Valdosta, the Republl-
can candidate, for Congress, who has been
nominated to oppose Congressman w. G.
Brantley. That this is the idea is shown
by an interview with Chairman E. r.
Belcher of the Republican executive com
mittee for the Eleventh district. which the
Morning News correspondent has had He
said, in substance: 1.-THE Republicans
have good chance for beating the Demo-
Gratis this year. The Populists have prom
ised us their support and by a trade we
have with them we are to help them beat
the Democrats in October, and they are
to help us beat the Democratic candidate
for Congress in November. Our candi-
date is a splendid man, and if the cam
paign committee gives us the money to
spend that we ask for we will put him
through Our trade with the PoDulists is a
fair and square deal and it is an equal
matter as to who has the advantage We
need money badly, but have fair hopes Of
getting it. The plan seems to be for the
Populists and Republicans to combine all
over the state and agree not to put out
conflicting candidates in any district This
combination Is TO be worked especially in
two of the doubtful Democratic districts,
and the Eleventh is one of them An
other thing that we will be able to do as
soon as the money commences to come, is
in perfecting our organization. The Re
publicans will be thoroughly organized in
every county and each county committee
