Turning to his own side OF the House, he said
they did not have much power. but referring TO
Mr.. Paynes statement that Congress would be
run without any reference to the Democrats
pointed out the various parliamentary ways by
which they could make themselves felt. Again
addressing himself to the Republicans, he said:
Whenever you dare let the House consider
any Of these special bills which the country is
demanding. we have the power of adding our
selves as a minority a fraction of the ma
jority, and thereby making a majority OF this
House" He did not, however, he said, enter
tain the sanguine hope that the opportunity
would present itself, because, If ever there was
a bestride a situation OF which he was
afraid, and was so much afraid that he fully de-

in their power to keep up the party orsaniza-
tion
At the meeting tonight of the new national
committee James H. Ferris, of Joliet, Ill, was
reelected chairman. and jay W. Forrest. OF
Albany n. Y. chosen vice chairman
The platform includes a money plank. which
declared that the issuing Of money is function
of the government alone that should not be
delegated to any corporation or individual The
demand is made that money be issued direct to
the peopIe without the intervention Of banks
and be a full legal tender for all debts. public
and private. The working of the national bank
ing law is criticised and the demand made that
the power to issue money be taken from the
banks.
The plank on trusts demands that the govern
ment own and control the railroads and all
public utilities which in their nature mo-
nopolies.
Ownership of the general telegraph and tele-
phone lines and a parcels post are also asked.
The taxation Of monopoly privileges while they
remain in private hands is another feature OF
this plank.
The platform reafflrms the declarations made
in the Omaha Platform.

the nomination, he said:
Not having been officially advised of the ac-
tion of the convention. think it would be rather
premature for me to say that l will accept the
nomination. 1 have read the outline OF the
platform and I will not make any positive state
rnent as TO acceptance until / reach my home at
Thomson. Ga, for which point leave tonight"
Mr.. Watson then went to explain his ad-
vocacy of Governor HoIe Smith of Georgia dur
ing the recent campaign in that state. He said
that he Joined with Mr. Smith in his efforts to
eliminate the negro from politics, and informed
the Governor that his work solely for that
purpose.
Il do not believe said Mr.. Watson that the
negro should have any more political rights than
the Indian the Chinaman in this country.
With the negro eliminated from politics the
states of the South will again be in a position
where their wishes will have to be respected
and catered to by the dominant political parties
