SULLIVAN DENIES REPORT.
Never Threatened to Cease BuyiDg
From Political Opponents.

Never Threatened to Cease buying
From Political Opponents.
Mr.. John ]. Sullivan, the member of the
County Executive Committee, who was
elected by that body at its last meeting
to fill the vacancy created by the death of
Mr. A N. Manucy. was considerably ex-
ercised yesterday over the statement
made by MIR. Osborne, at the Citizens
Club rally, to the effect that Mr.. Sullivan
had threatened to break off business re-
lations with a man, unless the latter
would cease to employ another inimical
to his political faith. In this connection
Mr.. Osborne made sarcastic reference to
the fairness of an election Judge who
would be guilty of such threat as he
imputed to Mr.. Sullivan.
When he was seen yesterday Mr.. Sulli-
van had the following to say on the sub
ject: THE statement made by Mr. Os-
borne in his spesch Tuesday night, to the
effect that l desired to have a man dis
charged by the soda water concern with
which deal because he is opposed to me
in politics, is absolutely false. Mr. Os-
bornes desire to retain his Office ought
not to render him indifferent to the harm
that might be done others by circulating
unfounded reports, so far as personal or
political honesty is concerned"
In connection with his own denial of
the statement made by Mr. Osborne, Mr..
Sullivan handed TO the Morning News re-
porter the following affidavit from George
Campsen, the manager and proprietor of
the soda water concern in question. This
affidavit is as follows:
Georgia, Chatham County.-Personally
appeared George Campsen, who, being
duly sworn, deposes and says that he has
read the following statement in the Sa-
vannah Press of Wednesday afternoon,
May 2, purporting to be quotation from
Mr.. Osborne's speech of the night before:
ION the morning after Mr. Sullivan was
named as a member of the Executive
Committee he told the men who delivered
soda water 20 him that a man employed
by the soda water concern was opposed
to him in politics and that unless he was
discharged he would not buy any more
soda water from them. Is such a man a
fair judge?'
With reference to this statement de-
ponent says that he Is the proprietor of a
soda water factory and has been deliv-
ering soda water to Mr.. John j. Sulli-
van for the last twenty years, and that
TO his knowledge Mr.. Sullivan has not
dealt with any other soda water dealer
other than deponent.
Deponent denies in toto the statement
made by Mr.. Osborne that Mr.. Sullivan
had stated to him that a man employed
by the soda water concern was opposed
to him (Sullivan) in politics and that I'M
less he was discharged he would not buy
any more soda water from him.

MIDDLE OF ROADERS
 OPPOSED ID FUSION
Proposition to Combine Forces With Other Parties Meets
 With Disfavor.

St. Louis, December 29.-Members of the Middle-of-the-R Road Populist National Com mittee and other leaders in various reform movements debated today at the St. James Hotel over the advisability of forming a combination with the Social, Democratic and Union Reform parties.
 The tenor of the speeches made by the committeeman was practically unanimous in opposition to the plan and in favor of carrying on the work of the Populist party strictly along its own lines. It was decided to issue an address setting forth in detail the views of the committee.
 The address to the party as adopted says in part:
 "We recommend the following:
 "First-That the members of the party again rally everywhere and renew the work of organization and education, spreading the principles of our party fur ther and deeper, and so conducting this work that those who believe in our princi- pies or the earnestness and honesty of our purpose will feel disposed to vote our ticket.
 "Second-That with the successful exam pie of the cities of England and Scotland and the Australian islands in the govern ment ownership of public utilities in the interest of public sanitation and economy, and also the example in nearly all civilized nations of the governmet ownership of railroad, telegraph and telephone lines, an especial effort be devoted to this feature of our platform, believing that this work will be easily understood and the more readily accepted"

PR0PERITUrn II
One of the Ami
  Thousand Do "a, LOSS Es- timated at $4ooo, With No
 Insurance.

The stable of H. H. Mayberry, president of the Mayberry Hardware Company, was destroyed by fire at o'clock yesterday morning, together with three valuable horses, four vehicles and several sets of fine harness, the total loss being placed at about $4O00.
 The stable was situated in Nineteenth street, South, on the rear end of MT. May berry's lot opposite the residence of W. H. Kettig, and was almost entirely consumed before the fire department could arrive. The fire was discovered by the hostler, who at once gave the alarm, but because of the combustible material the flames, which We're first seen coming out of the roof, spread rapidly, and in less time than it takes to tell the little frame building was wrapped in flames, and In a few min utes was a mass of ruins. The bostler made heroic effort to save the horses and vehicles, but just as he reached the stable door the roof fell in and his efforts were thwarted.
 One of the horses was a fancy roadster valued at 5000 and was one of the finest horses in the city. The others were team of carriage horses valued at $500. The vehi- cleS destroyed were a handsome carriage, a drag and two buggies, which with the horses, fittings and building run the loss up to the amount above mentioned.
 It is not known just how the fire origl- mated, but as the stable was practically isolated, it is thought that it ignited from the sparks from fireworks which were be- ing set off by some boys in the neighbor- hood.
 The alarm was answered by the South side department which made quick run, but when it arrived the stable and con tents had been destroyed.
 MT. Mayberry carried no insurance on the property
