Between 500 and 600 persons sat down
last night to the dollar dinner given in
the Palm Garden in East Fifty-eighth
street in honor of the Hon. Thomas +.
Watson, Populist candidate for the Presi-
dency OF the United States. Several hun
dred more were in the galleries, where they
Joined In the applause with Populistic
ardor and enthusiasm.
The official name Of the dinner was IA
Dor banquet, in honor Of Hon. Thomas
Z. Watson" 1t was under the auspices
Of some OF the labor unions Of the city,
and the committee in charge consisted
Of fifteen leading members Of labor organi-
cations. Like the the first Watson meet
ing of the campaign, few weeks ago, 1t
was remarked by degree of spirit and
enthusiasm rarely matched since the anti
poverty meetings of the Henry George
DR.. McGlynn campaign.
AS in those memorial lie assemblages,
large proportion of the audience was
made up OF women. Apparently the ardor
Of the women in the cause Of Populism IL

and waved handkerchiefs at the speakers
end. and especially when Mr.. Watson him
self was introduced.
The chairman was William A. Coakley,
president OF the Association of Lithographic
Apprentices and Press Feeders. He started
the oratory with spirited speech in which
the trusts had pretty bad quarter OF an

walloping in that mussed-up to,isled condi-
ton in which all good Popuists like TO see

Others at the chairmanI's table were A. Jr.
Boulton:. Populist candidate for Governo.
Of New York; Judge Sheldon Of Connecticut
George A. Hunneker Populist candidate
for Governor of New Jersey; j. ". Forrest,
chairman OF the Albany county Democ-
racy; Judge Samuel Seabury and j.: q.
Phelps Stokes, a new recruit to Mr.. Wat
sons forces.
The chairman introduced Mr., Watson
as "the new Jefferson of the South" That
started an uproar of cheering which it
seemed would never come to an end.
The sentiment in Mr.. Watson's speech
which seemed to catch the crowd most
was that Parker was Sunday school
fighter, and that If he would only get out
Of the way and let him, Watson. have
clear field, he would guarantee to give
