Who Can Poll the Party Vote.
Macon, Ca, March 10.-The Populists
of Bib county will hold a meeting here
tomorrow to appoint delegates to the state
convention, which meets in Atlanta on
March 16.
The Bibb delegation will go to the con-
vention instructed to vote for Tom Wat
son to the last gasp, but will be left free
as to the second choice
The Populists of Bib express the be-
lief that Mr.. Watson will be compelled to
accept the nomination, as the pressure
brought to bear on him will be so heavy
that for the sake of the party he will
have to accept.
They say that Mr.. Watson is now the
only man who can poll the strength of his
party, as there are many of the party
who would vote the Democratic ticket on
the slightest provocation, and that the ab-
sense of Mr.. Watsons name on the tickle,
would be provocation enough

existence has been made the prey of
incompetents and favorites, who
fattened on the sorrows of the Amer
lean soldiers. Brave young men, who
fought our battles In the West In
dies, were left without adequate food,
medicines or surgical assistance. They
were put under incompetent COM
manders and left to suffer with I'M
dressed wounds and burning fevers.
And hundreds of their comrades, who
returned alive, have come back ema-
ciated and ghostly, to stagger through
the streets as living witnesses against
those who are responsible for their
sufferings. We demand a thorough
investigation by congress, not by an
administrative committee organized
to acquit, shall expose the guilty
and drive them mercilessly from the
offices which they have disgraced."

Going back to Tampa, he said that
at the season he was there, the first
half of June, the site was without OBJ

There was, he said, at times some

grief at her friends death that she
