Did not Write the Editorial which
Declared "Ha Watson,
no Bryan."
Vaoderroort Traitors Angry ,
Thompson, Oh., Oct.. 11. The
York Tribune and other New
New
York
papers have alluded to the editorial,
"Ao Watson, -o Bryan, whicn ap
peared in the populist party paper of
last week, and they attribute it to me.
Thin ia erroneous. I resigned the edit
orship of the people's party paper just
after the campaign opened. Mr. James
L. Sibley, tlie present editor, wrote the
' article alluded to. Neither directly nor
indirectly am I responsible for it. Jt
represented hie individual sentiments,
and be had the right to express them.
My own position is different. From
the beginning of the campaign I have
given my loyal adherence to the St.
Louis compromise ticket, and shall con
tinue to do so to the end,
I would make any personal sacrifice
not involving honor and principle to
aid Mr. Bryan, regardless of the conse
quences to my political fortunes. Sly
protest againBt fusion is not so much
that it putthes me off the ticket as that
ft compels populists to vote for a man
who does not represent their principles
and whom their national convention re
jected at St. Louis.
Tartly for that reason, populists, see
ing this, grew discontented, and their
discontentthreatensthesnccessof Bryan.
speca1ly does the situation in Kansas
and Colorado endanger Bryan's success
in other states. '
The fact that those populist states
have put out no populist ticket, and the
entire electoral vote has been sold to the
democrats for local offices, spreads in
dignation among the populists in every
stste in thu tiuion. I hare mingled
among the people in this campaign
more informally than any of the candi
dates or any of the managers, and I
know populist resentment at the man
ner in which their party Is being wrecked
by mere place hunters jeopardizes Mr.
lirvan most seriously.
For the sake of preserving our party
organization, insuring the success of the
reform priuopesand solidifying the pop
olist vote for Mr, Bryan, I have repeat
edly asked that justice be done the pop
ulist national ticket in Kansas and Col
orado. 1 have also felt free to condemn
the deal in North Carolina, by which
populist votes are expected to give a
majority in the electoral college to Mr.
Bewail.
This arrangement is not only unjust
on the face of it, but may defeat itself by
disgusting the populists. In other
words, it has seemed to me that the very
best way to assure Mr, Bryan the popu
list votes necessary to his election was
to treat the populists fairly as ;! friends,
comrades, allies, not as mere political
Hessians who had been hired to Huh t
and who could be disposed of as the
whims and self-interests of the hirers
might dictate.
In continually calling attention to
this weak point in our lines, my purpose
has been to help Mr. Bryan, not to hurt
him. At no time have I uttered the sen
timent that Bryan must b defeated un
less Watson could be elected, At no
time have I harbored such a feeling.
At this time, as upon a'.l other occa
sions, I hsvefeltthe supreme importance
of Bryan's election, regardlesa of what
miuht happen to either Sewsll or Wat
eon, but I have also felt that in their
stubborn, unyielding and insulting pol
icy of trying to force 'he populists to
Tote for Sewall in these fusion deals, .the
democratic managers were clearly mak-
fng a sacrifice of Bryan in the interest of
Bewail. Thomas IS. Watson.
MRS. LEASE VISITS MCKINLEY.
The Delegations Come, but Mark Pays
the Freight.
The New York World employed Mrs,
Lease to go to Canton to Interview Mo
Kinley and write up the visiting delega
tions The following is the closing part
of Mrs. Lease's article:
Carnegie and bis men, the steelwork
ers of Homestead, Pa., under the super
vision of the coat and iron police, also
visited McKinley.
"Give us sound money and protection
rom oreign labor," said th spokesman,
an ex-sheriff, who had only a short time
before helped to elevate and dignify
labor by shooting down the homestead
strikers, and the Carnegie policemen de
tailed for duty kept two thousand Slavs,
Bohemians and Hungarians in line like
a drove c f cattle, while they cheered for
protection from foreign labor.
The Nail-Workers, of Clevelarfd, an
organisation that has twice . raised the
price of nails, and twice cut down the
wanes of its employes, displayed com-
mendable generosity by marching 250
men through Canton, each man wearing
u irood mackintosh and fine felt hat, sup
plied for the occasion by theiremployers,
Put the workmen proved proverbially
nngratvful and told the story of their
political loyalty when they marched to
the refrain, "Who paid all our expenses? '
Mark Hapna."
"Whobougbtonrovercoata and hats?"
"Mark Hanna."
'Who are we going to vote for?"
"Brvan. Brvaiil"
A number of visiting delegates, whose
legitimate railroad ; fares would nave
been $10, told me tat the round trip
for the party was only 75 cents each.
Return tickets to Chicago for 25 cents
were nlentifal fn Canton - the day the
traveling men's association visited Mc
Kinley. Canton is gay with flags, McKinley
pictures are displayed everywhere, but
hore than 2.000 enrolled voters in the
fyyan free sJver club indicate that how
jy much wrong may triumph for a
S right wKI ultimately, prevail.

fwrator Win. V.Allen, Nebreska's senior
member of tbeuper house, will be in
Lincoln on the 24ih inst., snd will speak
afternoon and evening at Bohanan's
ball. Arrangements for the meeting
have not been announced. Inasmuch
as the junior senator, Mr. Thurston, is
to be in Lincoln to speak on the same
date, it has been suggested that it would
be a good'idea to have them tcive a joint
debate, but the chance are that the
junior senator wouldn't cars to divide
time. He is kept too busy debating
with his own former utterauces in behalf
of silver coinage.
, Cheap Fanarals. .
There is at least one country in the
world where It costs nothing to die.
In some of the cantons of Switzerland
all the dead, rich as well as poor, are
buried at the public expense. Coffins
and all other necessary articles are fur
nished on application by the govern
ment Everything connected with the
interment is absolutely gratuitous, in
cluding the grave and religious service.

A Question Often Aiked by Those Afflict
ed with Piles.
Is a strained joint curable? Is local
Infiatnation curable? Of course, if prop
erly treated. So is piles.
People often becomeafHicted with piles
and ask some old "chronic" who has al
ways persisted in the wrong treatment
and naturally he discourages them bv
telling them that their case is hopeleeB.
Ibey in turn discourage . others, and
thus a disease that can in every case be
cured by careful and skilful handling is
allowed to sap the energy of thousands
who might free themselves of the trouble
in a few days.
Pyramid Pile Cure will cure the most
aggravated case of hemorrhoids in an
astonishingly short time. It relieves the
congested parts, reduces the tumors in
stantly no matter how large, allays the
inflamation and stops the aching or itch
ing at once.
thousands who had resorted to ex
pensive surgical treatment have been
cured by the Pyramid Pile Cure in a
number of instances persons who had
spent months in a hospital under a pile
specialist.
it is a remedy that none need fear to
apnly to the most aggravated, swollen
and inflamed hemorrhoidal tumors.
If you are afflicted with this stubborn
disease you can master it quickly.
This remedy is no longer a n experi
ment, but a medical certainty. It is
manufactured by the Pyramid Pile Co.
of Albion, Mich.
Druggists sell it at 50 cents per box.
It is becoming t he most popular pile
cure this country has ever known and
druggists everywhere are ordering it for
tneir customers.
THE POPULIST NOMINEE'S
THROAT STILL SORE.
THE DOCTOR'S STATEMENT
Will Not Allow Him to Make Speeches for
the Present His Letter of Accept

to Have Been Reached With
the PopolUt and Demo
ratio Committees,
Atlanta, Ga,, Oct 10 Ia vtewot
tho conflicting reports in circulation
concerning the condition. of Thomas
K. Watson, Populist nominee for Vice
President, the Journal telegraphed to
his physician for an official statement
of his patient's condition. To this the
following reply has been received:
"The impression has been created by
some papers that Mr. Watson has been
and is now quite ill with throat and
lung trouble, while another so mis
stated the facts and misrepresented
Mr. Watson as to state that ho was not
sick at all, but pretending to be from
some cause, that he was out looking
after his different farms in the country,
etc. In justice to Mr. Watson, I state
that when he returned from his last
speaking tour, his throat was in a fear
ful condition, in a mass of ulceration,
and his general system was beginning
to be impaired by it, but it soon yield
ed to treatment, and he is now in his
usually good health, except tho local
trouble In bis throat, which? is very
much improved, and 1 think it will be
entirely well in a few days. Yet,
positively obiect to Mr. Watson mak
Ing any more speeches at present. E.
B. Harrison, M. IV
Mr. Watson indorsed the statement
as follows: "Dear Doctor: This is all
right T. E. W."
It Is reported that Mr. Watson h
wailed his letter of acceptance of tho
Populist nomination for Vice President
to National Chairman Uutler and that
it handles the fusion matter without
gloves.
CutcAflo, Oct 1 .Senator Marion
Butler, chairman of the Populist na
tional committee, and Ueorge IT.
Washburn, who has charge of the
Western branch, left for Georgia laat
night to confer with Mr. Watson re
garding the action taken by thu Popu
list executive committee at its meeting
Tuesday. A conference was held with
Chairman Jones, at which it Is said the
probable action of Mr. Watson was
considered. Todav the PonuHst poli

'ECZEMA. .
One Physician Pronounced It Ring-Worm
and Prescribed for that Ailment, '
Bat the Patient Used Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills and
' was Cared.
From the Free Press, Corning, lows, '
"I was afflicted with what physicians
assured me was eczema and began doc
toring for that disease about t wo years
ago. "The first doctor I consulted did
me no good stall. He pronounced the
disease ring-worm and gave me remedies
for that ailment, but soon found out. his
error.
"I then tried another physician, with
some better success but did not succeed
in obtaining permanent relief. On the
contrary, I got worse and my face and
body broke out badly and a severe itch
ing sensation constantly accompanied
it. This physician pronounced the nial
ada eczema and I believe now that his
diagnosis was correct. My husband
saw an. article on Dt. Williams' Pink
Fills in th county paper and at his so
licitation I tried them.
"To make a long storv short, I took
twelve boxes of this wonderful remedy
and am now entirely relieved. I have
not been troubled with the least sign of
this disease since August, 1895. I had
been taking 1 he pills since June of that
year. I am glad to testify to the worth
of this excellent remedy. It not only
cured me, but my father tried it for la
grippe nnd was materially benefitted
in fact he insists it relieved him at once.
Many of my neighbors are using this
remedy at my recommendation and are
enthuiastic in its praise."

BOGUS BOYCOTT CIRCULAR.
Hannaitesln low Issue An Anonymous
Order and Blamd Silver Men.
Des Moines, la., Oct. 15. The repub
licans showed weakneKs of their cause
here today. This afternoon an anony
mous circular, signed by the Farmers
and Laborers' association, appeared on
the streets, ordering a boycott on a score
of prominent merchants who are leaders
in the Business Men's Sound Money club.
Thecircular said that thene meri coerced
their employes and makes severe threats.
The democratic committee were taken by
surprise, but the republicans set up a cry
at once that the silver men had issued it.
As a matter of tact two of the firms
ordered boycotted are composed of silver
men and are known to be silver men by
all the silver commit tees. Tbisuives the
snap away and shows to what disreputa
ble methods the republicans havestooped
in order to stop the landslide to silver.
Chairman Curry and Secretary Carr
of the democratic state committee today
issued an autograph letter to the demo
crats ol the srate, waruiug them not to
send campaign funds to J. J. - Richard
sou of Davenport, former national Com
mitteeman, who, it is alleged, is Using
his old stationery to collect campaign
funds to be expended for the republicans
or gold bugs. The warning is couched
in vigorous language and was sent toi
250 silver weeklies in Iowa.
The deputy sheriffs were unable to get
service ol the republican state officials,
Secretary McFarland, Auditor McCarthy
and 'Attorney General Remeley, with the
writ of certisrari issued by Judge Steven
son this morning, directing them to
send to court tomorrow morning all pa
pers and petitions filed by. goldbugs.
This action of the silver democrats is to
get a reversal of the state board's - ac
tion in allowing the goldbugs to go on
the ticket under the name of "national
democrats." McFarland will not return
until alter the election and no one knows
when McCarthy wijl return. Judge C.
C.Cole says he will prosecute the case and
this aft'-rnoon got service on the mem
bers of the families of the state officials.
The goldbugs threaten to retaliate by
trying to remove the silver men from the
ballot, claiming that under the state
law the populists are not entitled to go
ou as democrats, even if there is fusion.
A Fatal Accident.
The engineer on the Union Pacific
freight train while approHcliimt the city
lb s morning six miles south at about 7
o'clock observed a man lying on the
track several rods ahead. The bmkes
were immediately applied and the train
was brought to a standstill a few feet
from the remains.
An investigation disclosed ths fact
that he had been run over and killed by
the last train that passed. The top of
the skull wns nearly removed and brsins
were spattered around for several feet.
The probsbilitiesare that he was one of
Buffalo Bill's men and had fallen off the
tmin en route to Bestrice last night.
He had sixty.fi ve cents in his pocket and
a letter from his sister, whose name and
address as nearly as can be medeont
is Mrs. Bergen of Columbus, 0., 602
Gray street.
The coroner went out to view the re
mains about 10 o'clock and ordered
them taken to Undertaker Oeder's estab
lish men t. An inquest was held at 1
o'clock and a verd ct was rendered that
the unknown man had came to his death
by falling under the wheels of a Union
Pacific train. A telegram was sent to
the Columbus address but at the hour of
going to press no response was received.
