Tom Wntson Speaks.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. a Thomas B
Watson opened his vlco presidential
campaign last night with an address
two hours in length, dclivorod beforo
an audience of 3,000 people in tho
ough shed used for tho Moody re
vival meetings several months ago.
Mr. Watson appealed at tho outset for
a uon-partisan hearing, declaring
that he spoke with bitterness to none
and in behalf of tho men who held
tho plow, who used the hoc, who
wielded tho hammer. If God gave
him strength, ho declared, ho would
plead tho cause of these people
through pens of roportors present bo
fore 05,000,0i'0 peoplo in the morning.
He entered into an enumeration of
tho reform dumands of tho Populists,
indicting the government for high
criro.es and misdemeanors in tho grant
ing of tho governmental power of
muking money to a special class; In
tho unfair levying of taxes which laid
tho heavy hand of tribute upon those
least able to sustain it; in closing tho
tn'nts to the frio and unlimited coin
age of silver; in leaving tho great
public highways of tho country In
tho control of grasping corporations,
"who levied tribute upon the peoplo
who were compelled to uso them, and
in the corruption of tho ballot.
Mr. Watson explained at length his
course in leaving tho Democratic
party after having boon elected to
Congress as a Democrat and by tho
machinery of tho Democratic party.
lie said that his opponent had run as
u straight platform Democrat, whilo
he had made his raco on tho Allianco
platform and was pledged to stand by
that platform though tho heavens
fall. Furthermore, the national Alli
ance convention had Instructed those
Congressmen olectcd on tho Alliance
platform not to go into the caucuses of
cither of the two great parties. .Not
only bac he felt bound to stand
by principles rathor than parly,
but he hatti seen then as he saw now
that the only chance for Jefferson iun
Democracy was to unite tho farmers
of the South with tho farmers of tho
West. To do that required a new
party. The Southern Democrat could
not be induced to go into tho Repub
lican party, nor could tho Western
.Republican bo induced to enter the
Democratic party. A common rally
ing point was absolutely necessary.
When Congress met In 1802 eleven
Western Congressmen stepped out of
the Republican party.
"Of the thirty Southern Congress
men elected on the Alliance platform,
how many stepped out of tho Demo
cratic party?" exclaimed Mr. Watson.
"Only one, and thaulc God 1 can say
It, I was that one."
He explained further that ho had
allowed himself to be run for speaker
simply to emphasize tho Souths desiro
to meet the West Hit If way in tho com
mon battle against the Cast.
In conclusion Mr. Watson made this
significant statement: "We are not
going to put up any candidate against
Bryan, Wo are going to vote for
llryan, whether Sewall is withdrawn
or not. I'm going to manage this
campaign so that W J. llryan gets
every vote we've got. I see tho dread
evils of McKlnleyism threatening us
and I fear that if wo are defeated in
this tight McKlnleyism will bo en
throned forever and the batt'o for
freedom had just as well bo given up.
I shall tell my people to stand by
the contract made at St Louis.
Let llryan have every vote you
can muster. Let Jones say what
ho likes. Ict him insult you if
he will. Make no answer. Pray for
your country. Work for her Interests.
iJoyour duty. Here's what we're go
ing to do in our state convention:
"We're going to put out a fnll electoral
ticket for llryan and Watson. Wo
can't vote for Sewall. Then we'll
empower our committee to take oft a
part of our electors and put on a part
.of yours whenever the Democratic
committee retires Mr. Sewall. The
Democratic managers may have made
-up their minds to put Tom Watson
down and keep him down, but 1 thanic
God the people of the South have en
tered him into no such contract. Let
it be known, henceforth that tho
South and West will never again sit
at the footstool of the North.1'

A Stupendous Colin pur.
Chicago, Aug. J.- The spcoulatuo
ileal in Dlnmond Match nud Now York
Biscuit stock has como to nu end. Tho
Mooro Bros, havo failed. Tho great
est speculation ovor known in Chicago
has culminated In tho failure of tho
peoplo who wero bohind tho deal.
Tho Chicago stock oxchnngo nd
journed at 10 o'clock this morning for
an Imloflulto period. This notion was
decided upon at a meeting held last
evening at which wero present the
members of tho stock exchange, gov
erning committeo and a numbor of
prominent capitalists.
Tho speculative deal of which tho
failure is tho culmination Is by all
odds the most important In tho history
of Chicago stock exchange affnlrs. It
began early In this year. Tho stock
of tho Diamond Match Company had
been selling along ISO for quite o tinio
and thero had been no special nativity
in the market. Just prior to tho Ven
ezuela Incident, tho tip had got out in
insldo circles that thero wore to bo
como important European develop
ments in connection with Diamond
Mntcli affairs and tho buying of tho
stocks commenced by strong people.
Tho Venezuelan panic interfered with
the speculation and tho stock dropped
during tho general decline at that
time to 116. From there tho riso
started which Is tho most remarkable
in tho history of the exchange.
A strong group of speculators,
headed by John II. Mooro and Will
lam II. Moore, bogati 'buying tho
stock. It moved up with scarcely a
halt. The bears occasionally endeav
ored to interfere with tho rise, but
they each time found that there was
both speculative genius and financial
strength behind tho market, which
was unlike anything In local specula
tive affairs. Tho riso went on for a
considerable time boforo tho general
publio had any intimation of what
was really behind the ndvance.
When tho decline in stock markets
generally came, following tho Demo
cratic convention, tho stock was sell
ing at 221 Tho vnlues of other se
curities tumbled day after day, but
Mutch was held steadily without so
much as a fractional decline. Tho
Moores bought tho stock with con
fidence that inspired confidence In
others. The peoplo who had tho best
information about tho company's
prospects 6ccmcd to feel absolutely
certain of tho value of tho security,
and prices were held through all tho
sharp fluctuations in other 6locks
fluctuations which carried West Chi
cago to the lowest point in its history,
and marked startling declines in all
other securities.
Yesterday tho stock was held with
hardly a waver at 222, but there was
an outpouring of ion it stock which led
tho keen observer of tho market to
fear that tho load might become too
heavy, and tho events later in the
afternoon proved that thoso fears wero
correct
The doal in Diamond Match was
only part of this great speculative op
oration. Tho Mooro Bros, had organ
ized the Now York Diacu-.t company
several yenrs ago, after tho first great
success of the Diamond Match com
pany. Tho panic of 1693 had hit the
biscuit company severely as it did all
the other industries and the stock was
far below par. The success which
was met with in a speculative manip
ulation of Diamond Match led to a
dcslro to see what could bo done with
New York Biscuit and that stock was
taken several months ago and ad
vanced from 70 to 108.
From that it dropped back to 02, and
for weeks was hold closo about that
figure, in spite of tho sharp declines in
other securities. Enormous quantities
of this stock wero also poured upon
the market, but they were taken with
the saaio steadiness which marked the
action of Diamond match. Tho accum
ulations, however, represented a
threat sum in time, and tho operations
in the stock will add largely to the
total of the amount involved.
It is not at the present timo posslblo
to make any estimate of what the
figure is. The Moore's havo unques
tionably purchased an enormous lino
of New York Biscuit nnd Diamond
Match. The high price at which
Match has been selling makes tho
sum involved extremely largo. Tho
capital stock of tho Diamond Match
Company Is 81 1,000,000, ar'' of New
York Biscuit SU.ono.ooo.
FINE TROTTERS MAIMED.

Indianapolis, Ind., Aug, 5. A

SWEPT BY DEMOCRATS.
The Site of tho Majority In Alabama the
Only Uestlnn l'rauds Charged
MoxiooMKiir, Aln., Aug. 6. Tho slzo
of tho Democratic mnjority seems to
bo nil that remains in doubt with re
gard to the result of yoslorday's stato
oleotion, though Populist loaders nro
claiming frauds of tho grossest kind.
Because of tho slow process of count
ing tho votes undor tho now ballot
law, roturus aro necessarily slow, but
there is no doubt of a complete Dem
ocratic victory. lucompleto returns
from about half tho counties so far
received Indicate Democratic gains In
nit but Mobile and Macon. In tho
former tho Democrats appear to havo
lost HOinu COO votes by stay-at-homes,
but tho county is still in 'the Demo
cratic column by f00 majority. In
Macon county, which gave Oatos a
majority of 8t'0 In 1804, tho result is
doubtful.
To-day tho lowest Democratic esti
mate places tho mnjority nt 25,000 and
the highest at 00,000. Tho legislature
is safely Democrntio by at least two
thirds. Tho Populist leaders in Birmingham
claim that thousands of fictitious

not electod they will organlzo tho
Populists of tho State against llryan

Ciiicaoo, Aug. 5. It Is estimated by
those in a position to know that the
Moore Bros, have lost betweon SI, 000,

out every cent of their immenso for

"The Chicago Stock exchango has

At a meeting of tho governing com
