FUSION WON'T STAND.
NOT IF MR. WATSON IS EX
CLUDED. What Chairman Hutler of tho Popnllit
National CommtttroSay No Arrange
ment Which Provide (or Giving Fop
nllut Electoral Votes to Bewail Will be
Approved by the National Committee
The Popultit Situation.
Washington, Aug. 21. Chairman
Butler, of tbo Populist national com
mitteo, was asked tho following ques
tion last night: "In view of your
statement to tho effect that tho Popu
list candidates are Bryan and Watson,
and will bo until tho close of tho cam
paign, and will be earnestly supported
to the end without discriminations
for or against either, whut will bo tho
position of your conitnlttco with refer
ence to those States where Domocrats
and Populists have fused by tho latter
taking the State ticket and tho former
all of the electoral ticket?"
"We have no ofliclal information,"
ho roplied, "that this has been dono
in any stato; but if it has been dono,
or is contemplated, the national com
mittee will not upprovo or recognlzo
it Tho highest law of any party is
tho action of its national conventions.
No man or stato organization can bo
disloyal to such supreme authority
without arraying itself in direct and
bostllo opposition to tho national
convention. Our national convention
nominated Bryan and Watson by
an overwhelming majority, and it is
tho bounden duty of everv loyal
Populist to support both of thesa can
didates earnestly and loyally; and,
besides, Watson stands for what
Bryan stands for. and therefore
Bryan and Watson is the only ticket
that represents tho principles that tho
People's party believe in and huvo
contended for from the beginning.
Mr. Se wall is no more the candidate
of the People's party than is Mr.
Hobart
"Tho executive committco will see
that tho action of our national con
vention Is maintained in every state,
but if there should arise disaffection
or disloyalty to cither of our candi
dates in any state, then we are suro
that there are true Populists in such
states who will support a wholo ticket,
and such alone will be recognized by
our national committee."
"Does this mean you will insist upon
a stralghtout Bryan and Watson ticket
in every stato?"
"No; but it means that wherever
Populists and Democrats join forces
on the electoral ticket there must bo
a due and proper recognition of each
party's candidate by a just and equit
able division of electors supporting
the candidates of the respective par
ties." Senator Butler was asiced what ef
fect this announcement would have
upon the fusion in Kansas, where tho
Populists took the State ticket and
tho Democrats the electoral ticket, but
he declined to go into specific details,
saying his announcement related to
the general policy of tho committee.
The statement of Mr. Butler was said
to bo tho unanimous expression of tho
committee.

No Putting Off Watson.
Washington, Aug. 10. Senator But
ler of North Carolina, chairman of tho
national committco of the Populist
party, arrived Moro to-day" to attend
a meeting of tho Populist managers
this afternoon. Five members of the
oxeoutlv committee aro horo, tho
others having sent lotters of CXQUSO.
It was decided even bofore tho execu
tive commlttoe met that tho national
headquarters should bo here and it Is
probable that rooms In WormUy'a ad
joining the Democratic subheadquar
ten wlH bp secured.
One of the matters which may bo
brought up is the vlco presidency,
though it is known that tho executive
committee will listen to no proposi
tion looking to the withdrawal of
Watson from tho ticket Senator But
ler said that (f Sewall had stood for
what Bryan did beforo tho people,
neither the holding of tho Populist
party organization together nor any
thing else would havo prevented the
nomination of the whole Democratio
ticket by tho Populists. As it was,
Sewall did not represent the Populists
and undor no circumstances would
they consent to vote for him. Ho
thought that Watson stood a better
chanoo of being tho next vioe presi
dent than Sewall.
Another matter to be settled Is tho
notification of Watson. Mr. Butler Is
chairman of the notification commit
tee. He says that nothing definite has
bean arranged as vet. He says ho has
been so busy with affairs In his own
State since the national convention
adjourned that he had little corre
spondence with members of the noti
fication committee.
Tho situation In North Carolina was
the subject of several conferences
after the arrival of Chnlrman Butler.
One of the Domooratto leaders spoke
very positively about the matter. He
said that if Mr. Butler thought he had
the Democrats in a tight place and
could drive a hard bargain with them
he would find they would not stand
on It and would make a straight
fight Tlioy did not propose to bo
bulldozed into giving up anything.
The conforonce between Senators
Jones and Butlor was not very fruit
ful as no conclusions were reached
upon tho subjects under disousslon.
The Democrats aro not satisfied with
the fusion propositions in aover&l
Sovthern states and, on tho other
hand, the Populists do not like tho
offers which have been made to them
in some of tho Western states. It is
not likely any definite conoluston will
bo reached until after the return of
Senator Jones from Chicago.
After this tho Populist executlvo
commltteo went into session. Tho
mooting was devotod almost entirely
to receiving reports ana to an inter-
chango of view as to the condition of
tho campaign.

Miss Mary Abigail Dodgo, writer,

as Gail Hamilton, was a natlvo of tho

in Cambridge. Sho was graduated
from Ipswich academy at the age of
20. In 1851, she wont to Harvntd as
assistant In the Hartford high school
Sho refused to tako tho customary ex
amination, but was given tho position
without doing so. Sho was also In
structor In physical setenco in this
school for ocvoral years, and was sub
sequently governess In tho family of
Dr Gamaliel Bailey of Washington,
D. 0., tho oditor of tho National, Era,
to which paper sho becamo it con

as her health would permit, on Mr.

her published works, written in a
witty and aggressive stylo, consist
largely of selections from hor con

During recent years she engaged in

cussion and havo exerted more or less
influence upon national politics.

Will Not Notify llryau or Watson. i
Washington, Aug. 20. Tho Popu
list commltteo had another long meet
ing last night, at which it was de-'
elded to locate the Populist head
quarters in this city. Senator Butler ,
and Secretary Edgerton will be in
charge. Mr. Butler is chairman of the
notification committee. He said he
had not called a meeting of the com
mltteo. "It has not been the practice
of the People's party," said ho, "to '
notlfiy the candidates. Neither '
Weaver nor Field were notified in
1802." This is taken to mean that it
has been decided not to formally
notify Bryan or Watson.

Nkw Yonit, Aug. iU Tho second no
table demonstration in tho political
campaign in Now York city was held
last night under tho auspices of ths
Democratio Honest Money League of
Amorlca, in Madison Squaro garden,
whero lion. W. Uouruo Cockran ad
dressod an immense audience with a
speech entitled, "In Opposition to
Repudiation."
Mr. Cockrnn had been solootod to
answor Candidate lirynns speech be
cause of his opposition to the Chicago
platform, and because of thn reputa
tion ns an orator which ha had earned
by his participation in tho tariff de
bates of two congresses, and by his
famous nrotestngalnst the nomination
of Mr. Cleveland, delivered at day
break in tho convention of four yoan
ago.
Eighteen thousand seats had beem
placed in tho gardon, nnd all of thorn
were filled when Mr. Cockran ad
vanced to tho front of tho platform
and was greeted by a tremendous
cheors,mcu climbing upon their chairs
j and
wavluir lluto American flaw
wntoti nau been atrown through ttie
hall. Throe hearty choors were glvoa
for MoKinlcy, nnd theio wora hisses
when a gallery god yellod, "What'a
tho matter with Uryan?"
Mr. Cockran arraigned the Chicago
convention, tho platform and Mr.
Bryan's speech in unmeasured laa
guugo. Ho declared that tho Demo
cratio party had been led Into tha
Populist camp nnd that it was tha
duty of truo Democrats to balk. Ha
scored the incorao tax plank of. tha
Chicago platform and called the
supreme court criticism treason. Con
cluding ho said:
"Stripped of all vorbal disguise, il
is an issuo of common honesty, as
issuo between tho honest discharge
and tho dishonest repudiation of pub
lio aud private obligations.
"This is a conspiracy between pro
fessional farmers, who want to pay
low wages, and the unreconciled
slaveholder, who would like to pay
no wages at all. Hero Is tho real root
of this conspiracy. Mr. Uryan did
not cronto it. No man can create a
movement like this. Tho forces that
have croated It aro active and have
been working in a thousand different
directions. Mr. Bryan, representing
this theory, is but like a drop of
water on the crest of tho wavo, mora
conspicuous, but no more important
than tho millions of drops that forma
its base. The Popnllstlc movement is
tho attempt of thcso professional
farmers, of thcso roon who are un
willing to shnro with tbo laborer, te)
appeal to their greed. They are aa
enemy to public order; they aro an ob
stacle to progress; they aro conspira
tors against tho peace and prosperity
of the industrial masses of the
country.
