WATSON NOTIFIED
Cooper Union Crowded to Wei.
come the Leaders.
MUCH ENTHUSIASM SHOWN
The Presidential C~andidate's Speech Re-
ceived with Many Evidences
of Commentator.

Thomas L. Watson Of Georgia. the
peoples party candidate for president,
and Thomas II. Tibbles of Lincoln,
Neb.. vice president candidate, were
formally notified of their nomination
at Cooper Union, New York city. The
big hall vas crowded when, at 8
o'clock, the two candidates, accom-
panied by Alfred G. Boulton Of Brook
Ign, chairman of the meeting, appeared
on the platform. There was much
cheering when Chairman Boulton in
troduced Samuel Williams of Indiana,
who made the speech officially notify
ing the candidates Of their selection.
In addressing Mr.. Watson. Mr.. Will
liams said the convention that nomi-
mated him was made up Of unselfish,
self-sacriicing patriots who attended
and participated in its deliberations
solely through a high sense Of duty.
The purpose of the convention. he con-
tinued, was to take one more step I'm
the evolution of progress which IT took
to finally bring us to that ideal con-
dition of society where the laborer
shall receive the full fruits of his labor,
and an injury to one shall be the con-
Germ Of all.
The work of the hour was not to
trim a sail Of expediency to catch a
passing breeze of popular, though tran
silent approval, but rather to proclaim
and again declare in plain and concise
language the principles and promises
OF the peoples party as first laid down
at Omaha in 1892, and subsequently re-
affirmed in 1896 and in 1900. 1t was
understood there that our nominee
must be a man with whom politics
was a matter of conscience and who
believed thoroughly and fully in the
tenets of populism; who subscribed to
the doctrine Of the brotherhood of man
and the fatherhood Of Almighty God;
who stood ready, able and willing to
defend. against any and all corners,
each and every plank in our platform,
and who, IL elected president, would
have tho ~broadness Of mind, the good
ness of heart, the firmness of charac-
ter, the knowledge of men and affairs,
to so administer the duties of that
high office as to bring the best possible
degree 'of peace, harmony and happi-
ness to the whole people.
I'VE confidently invite the country
TO say whether or not the convention
fulfilled these requirements. We know
your zeal for, and fidelity to. our party
and its principles during all the years
Of its history.
I'VE realize with pride that you
stand with Jefferson and Lincoln, with
Peter Cooper and Henry George, with
Polk and with Donnelly, in placing the
man above the dollar"
When Mr.. Watson arose to speak the
cheering continued nearly four min
utes. Chairman Boulton introduced
him in half a dozen words. simply re-
ferring to him as the candidate of the
peoples party.
After a formal notice that he would
soon prepare a formal letter of accept
ance. Mr.. Watson gave up a great por-
ton of his address to a discussion OF
the democratic and republican plat
forms.

Positions of the Armies.

London, Sept. 30.-Reports from
Russian sources4tell of terrible ravages
by disease in the Japanese armies.
The Lao river is said to have been
damned abreast of Liao Yang in order
that the flooded country may protect
the left flank of the Japanese army
threatening Mukden. In St. Petersburg
1t seems to be the expectation that
Gen. Kuropatkin' will not make
stubborn fight for the possession of
Mukden. Vladivostok has heard that
the Port Arthur garrison is confident
of being able to hold out at least three
months longer. Another stroke Of ill
fortune has befallen the Russian navy
in an accident to the cruiser Oleg,
which was ordered to be ready about
this time for sea with other ships of
the Baltic squadron. Repairs to the

BOTTLE FAILED TO BREAK.
Fair Sponsor OF the BattleshIp Com
neticut Made Poor Throw When
the Vessel Was Launched.

New York, Sept. 3O.--Although sue
cessfully launched yesterday, the bat
tleship Connecticut did not have her
bottle of wine broken by Miss Alice B..
Welles, who had been elected as spon-
sor for the ship. She threw the bottle
at the bows as the ship began to move
of the ways, but 1t failed to break
when It struck the vessels side. Sec
retary of the Navy Morton and Rear
Admiral Rodgers stood beside Miss
Welles. Rear Admiral Rodgers at
tempted to grasp the bottle as 1t re-
bounded, but failed. and the ship was
moving off into the water, when
workman on the deck seized the string
that held the bottle and dashed the
glass receptacle Of the champagne
against the side Of the ship, shattering
1t to pieces, to the relief of the super
stiticus. This was the only variation
Of the prearranged plan, despite the
many sensational stories of attempts
to do the vessel damage.
The navy yard was crowded, 1t be-
ing estimated that almost 10000 per-
sons witnessed the launching. Every
point of vantage was occupied. Stands
for invited guests had been erected
about the big red hull and the outside
Of this was a fence behind which the
majority of visitors were kept.

MADE A FINE RECORD.
Enterprise Journal Has Compliments
for Judge Moore.

for Judge Moore.
Enterprise Journal: Judge o. L.
Moore, Of Abilene, is our choice for
judge OF the Eighth Judicial district
and he Is also the peoples choice.
This is evidenced by the fact that he
was elected to that office in 1895, be-
ing the first Republican judge elected
since 1872. So thoroughly pleased
were his constituents that he was re-
elected in 1899 without opposition.
His decisions were always considered
just. he became popular throughout
the district and Judge Moore was,
and is, looked upon as the "just
judge" and tho best judge this district
ever had.
By reason Of the change in our cleo.
tion law, no successor was elected in
this district for 1904, but 1t was up to
the governor to appoint one to ill the
gap. Though Judge Moore practi-
! cally had the endorsement Of the peo-
pie Of the entire district, other in
frences which seemed not right nor
just were brought to bear upon the
governor, and Mr.. Moore was turned
down. This was one OF the mistit acts
of Governor Bailey which made him SO
unpopular with the people that he
was not even recognized by the peo-
pie Of Kansas as being a probable can
didate for governor, to say nothing
OF the rejection. But that is neither
here nor there. When it came time
to select a candidate for district Judge,
the people said with one accord. ave
want o. l.. Moore, of Abilene And
no other man will answer the pur-
pose.
A friend OF Mr.. Moore handed us
the following, which we are glad to
publish, though Can t-uthtully say
that 1t will not have as much to do
with bis reelection to the judgeship
as will the excellent record he made
while in the service Of the people:
30. L. Moore, the Republican can.
didate for district judge, was born at
Sage, W. Va, Nov. 10. 1849. He was
the third Of nine children. There
were no public schools in West Vir.
ginia until after the civil war. His
parents lived on a small farm In q
very ountainous section OF the state.
They were not able to send the chi
iren OF so numerous family away
from home to school and the only op-
portunity the young boy had TO pro-
,ure an education was in what way
Known as the "subscription" school,
which seldom lasted more than three
months in year, and in that section
vas Of a very primitive character.
