- A ) v v.. 0 WATSON NOT VISITED. NATIONAL CHAIRMAN BUTLER IN WASHINGTON. He U Somewhat Iletlcent and the Whole .Matter Is More or Less Mysterious Satisfied With tlia Itesult of the Popu list KiecutWe Committee Meeting Fallon Arranged In Nearly All the States. Olialrman llutlrr In Washington. Washington, Oct. 17. Senator But ler, chnirman of tho Populist national committee, did not go to Georgia to see Thomas E. Watson, I'opullst nomi nee for Vice President, as was reported from Chicago, but camo here, instead, because, as was declared, it was abso lutely necessary for him to do so. It Is also reported from Chicago that Com mitteeman Heed and Subchuirman Wnshburn have not started for Georgia, and tho whole matter is more or less mysterious. Mr. Itntlcr refused to talk of the Watson mutter this morning, but ex pressed himself as satisfied with tho result of the Populist executive com mittee meeting nnd the general out look, and said that fusion would be ar ranged in all States but Georgia and North Carolina. lie regarded Ohio as doubtful, Indiana as safe for Bryan, and Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota nnd Iowa In tho balance. He classed Ken tucky aB safe and Maryland and West Virginia as doubtful. Senator Ilntler at noon stated that lie bad not received Mr. Watson's let ter of acceptance, and declined to dis cuss tho probable character of the let ter or to say whether he would give out the letter when received. His friends say that It Is probable he would not consider it his province to make it public In case it should be received by him before It should be given to the press. They argue that it is customary lor the candidate to make public such documents nnd that there is no ques tion of etiquette involved. Senator Butler docs not admit that there are any differences between Mr. Watson and the party managers, but it is no secret that the committee has felt considerably annoyed by Watson's attack upon its fusion policy. It is stated to be a mistake to conclude, as appears to have been done in certain quarters thut an effort will be made to secure Mr. Watson's withdrawal from the ticket. Atlanta. Ga., Oct. 1 . Mr. Watson wired to the Atlanta Journal to-duj as follows, regarding the publication of his letter mailed to Chairman Butler accepting the nomination: "Mr. Hut ler must decide as to the letter. I did not wire Uutler not to come. On the other hand, 1 expressed a willingness to see the committee here."' KILLED BY A MANIAC.

Tho follow ing telegram was deliverd to Abe Stein bcrger, secretary of the so-called middle-of-the-road State committee yester day: Ulcerated throat will prevent my keeping appointments. I greatly re gret this. The middle-of-the-roud Populists all over the union have ray sympathy and admiration. They have been sold out and their party made a foot-mat for Demo cratic politicians to wipe their feet on under tiie hypocritical pretense of patriotism. The fuslonlsts nave aban doned principle nnd gone into a mad scramble for the pie counter. If Bryan is defeated it will bo the fault of the traitors in his party and ours, who have ignored the St. Louis compromise and tried to force tho Populist vote for Sewall, the bondholder, national banker, corporation plutocrat and gold cluuse millionaire.

Tho country is broken and densely covered with timber, precipitous hills and bluffs forming the shores of tho Lamlne river, and offering almost in accessible retreats. Bill Dalton is bald to have been in camp there two years ago, and other desperadoes, to elude officers In Oklahoma nnd Indian terri tory, have secreted themselves among the Lamine river hills.

Although it is stated in dispatches from Chicago that Watson's friend and representative, II. W.
