BRYAN AND WATSON
OUR CANDIDATES TO THE
END.
Statement Authorized and Sent
Out by the People’s Party
National Executive Com.
So much has been said concerning
the Vice- Presidential situation and
the attitude of the National Com
mittee concerning it, that at its recent
meeting the following official state
ment was sent out:
“Washington, D. C., August 18.
—The People’s Party’s ticket as
named by the St. Louis convention
is Bryan and Watson, and that will
be the People’s Party’s ticket until
the polls are closed in November.
Mr. Bryan is as much our candidate
as Mr. Watson is. As far as this
committee has power it will strive
just as hard to elect one as to elect
the other, and will leave nothing in
its power undone to help either or
both. But it will not sacrifice one
in the interest of the other.”
And on the next day the Asso
ciated Press put to Chairman Butler
the following specific question:
“In view of your statement yester
day to the effect that the Populist
candidates are Bryan and Watson
and will be until the close of the
campaign, and are to be earnestly
supported to the end, without dis
crimination for or against either,
what will be the position of your
committee with reference .to those
States in which Democrats and Pop
ulists have fused, the Populists tak
ing the State ticket and the Demo
crats all of the electoral ticket ? ”
In reply Senator Butler gave a
formal statement, which, it was an
nounced, is the unanimous opinion
of the Executive Committee:
“We have no official information
that this has been done in any State.
If it has been done or is contemplated
the national committee will not ap
prove or recognize it. The highest
law in any party is the action of its
national convention. No man or
State or organization can be disloyal
to such supreme authority of a party
without arraying themselves in direct
and hostile opposition to the National
Convention. Our National Conven
tion nominated Bryan and Watson
by an overwhelming majority, and it
is the bounden duty of every loyal
Populist to support both of these
candidates earnestly and loyally, and,
besides, Watson stands for what
Bryan stands for, and, therefore,
Bryan and Watson constitute the
only ticket that represents the prin
ciples that Populists believe in and
have contended for from the begin
ning. Mr. Sewall is no more the
candidate of the People’s Party than
Mr. Hobart is.
“The Executive Committee will
see that the action of out National
Convention is maintained in every
State, but if there should arise dis
satisfaction or disloyalty to either of
our candidates in any State, then we
are sure there are true Populists in
such States who will support the
whole ticket, and such alone will be
recognized by our National Com
mi .tee.”
“Does this mean,” Chairman But
ler was asked, “that you will insist
upon a straight Bryan and Watson
electoral ticket in every State ? ”
“No. But it means that wherever
Populists and Democrats join forces
on the electoral ticket, there must be
a due and proper recognition of each
party’s candidates by a just and
equitable division of electors sup
porting the candidates of the respec
tive parties.”
The Political Blunder.
BY C. C. POST OF FLORIDA.
Friend Craig : Yours asking
my opinion etc, is received.
We are in a most unfortunate and
embarrassing position, but to me
there appears but one way open to
us and that is to stand squarely by
the action of our convention. If, as
someone has said, a political blunder
is a political crime, then in my opin
ion the failure of our national com
mittee to call an early convention,
and of our party to put a straight
ticket in the field at such early con
vention, taken in connection with
what has followed, constitutes the
political crime of the age.
To have builded up a party through
long years of patient work in educa
ting the people upon ocomomi 0
questions until it held the balance of
power in the senate, and had become
the second party in voting strength
in many, and the first in a few state-;
to have so arousid public sentiment
as to frighten its bitterest enemies
into regarding it with fear and trem
bling, to have compelled the party
in possession of the government with
all its powers of effecting public
opinion through federal patronage
and the great daily press to steal our
platform in order to keep from sink
ing beneath the risinj tide of public
condemnation—-to have done all this
and then to thro w away the staff
from which our banner floated and
pin our flag to that of our opponent*
because they suddenly professed con
version, leaving staff and banner
alike in their hands, was, I say, the
greatest political blunder of this or
any other century.
That those men, who are primarily
responsible for the Anal act in the
drama, anticipated any such result I
am entirely unwilling to believe, but
the result none the less emphasizes
the fact, so often before demonstrated
in the history of the movement, that
the road to success is smoothest in
the middle.
What has been done however is
done, and Florida, in her state con
vention on the sta and 6th, declared
by a psrfeotly unanimous vote that
she would abide by the action of the
St. Louis convention. If any were
in favor of rejecting either Bryan or
Watson, and a half dozen of each
there may have been, (though I
think but two favored Sewall) they
were not numerous enough ta count
and the convention put Bryan and
Watson electors, and a straight mid
dle-of-the-road state ticket in the
field, and will make the best fight
for an increased vote possible under
the circumstances, and not without
expectation of doing so.
For the immediate future more is
dependent upon the west than upon
the south, for while we have an un
doubted majority of the votes, in
Georgia and Alabama, and have a
strong footing in most of the south
ern states, yet it is not us that the
! Democrats fear, since public senti
ment will not yet sustain the defraud
ed majority in forceful means of
! compelling a fair count, and nothing
less than this will prevent counting
the vote in these states as the Demo
cratic leaders command it to bo
done.
The crime sought to be consumat
ed at St. Louis by the endorsement
of the entire Democratic ticket con
sists, in part at least, in thus seeking
to compel us to surrender our orgam
; zation and either abandon the fight
or follow the leadership of the Demo
cratic party as at present constituted,
the leadership of men to whom the
ballot has no sacredness, principles
no meining; who would have sup
ported Hill upon a gold platform as
greedily as Bryan upon a populist
platform, provided only that office
lay at the end of either.
The Western Populists can not
appreciate our situation, and we are
in danger of being harshly judged
because of ths action we have taken
and that we must maintain. In
many western states the Democrats
are the minority party, the Populists
being in the lead and might possibly
hold a controling influence in any
reorganizations of party machinery
growmg out of a surrender of our
own organization. In most southern
states to surrender means to do so
unconditionally, and to leave ail
power in the hands of the men who
have no regard whatever for the
rights of the people, and in this state
they are the generally recog zed
agents of corporations; the rail road
companies especialy.
We are told that if elected Mr.
Bryan will use the power or federal
patronage to break the power of po
litical rings and cliques which are
antagonistic to the people, but to
men educated in the spirit of a true
democracy, or an honest republican •
ism, this appears dangerous if true.
As men claiming to be patriots, sepk
ing to restore the government to the
control of the people through the
peaceful exercise of the electoral
franchise, we are not over much
pleased to be told that it will be
done through the power of federal
patronage after we shall have sur
rendered our party organization
through acceptance of Mr. Sewall.
That public patronage so long as
it remains in the gift of the President
should be used to assist in preserv
ing the rights and liberties of the
people, rather than as now in
sirenthening their onemies all con
cede, but to what extent it would or
could be done with the corporation
agents in the saddle in our several
states, the entire press of the country
misrepresent ng the fact?, they on
horseback in front and the people

PEOPLE’S PARTY PAPER, ATLANTA, GA., SEPTEMBER 4, 1896.
away back in the rear, is at the least
problematical. In all probability the
vo'ce of the people would scarcely
be heard, their true situations and
needs never known to the dispenser
of public patronage, and if it were
done, it would still be a victory for
one man power and a precedent for
its use by succeeding administrations
not in sympathy with good govern
ment, as we honestly belie re Mr.
B yan to be,
What then would cur western
brothers expect us to do? Wha'. ask
of us? Or what ought we we to ex
pect or ask of them?
At our state convention held on
the 5 th, and 6th, of the present month
I twice charged in open convention
that the delegates from Florida had
not properly understood the wishes
of our people, and that they alone
of the entire delegation pi esent, rep
resenting nearly all the counties in
the state and numbering 162 on roll
call, delivered the nomination of
anything but a straight ticket at St.
Louis wise and not a voice was raised
to contradict or answer, I meniiin
this as evidence of the feelings of
our people and to show how impos
sible would be the task of inducing
them to accept of Sewall also. Ttiey
will loyally abide the action of the
convention at St. Louis and if Mr.
Sewall is w.thdrawn will give a
most enthusiastic support to Bryan
and Watson, bus they will not con
sent to yield al!, end if the constituted
authorities of party attempt to force
them do so they will largely remain at
home on election day; a few will
support the Republicans out of a
feeling of recklessness joined to the
hope of securing a better state gov
ernment, later converts will go back
to the Democracy and the total re
sult will be the practical annihilation
of the only organized sentiment in
Florida in opposition to the corpora
tion control of state and nation.
Another danger ought not to bo
underestimated, and that is the dan
ger that every other issue will be
swallowed up by that of free silver.
Already the public mind is beoom
ing col fused over it and we are be
ing classed simply as free silventes
The gr.ater issues are being over
looked and lorgotlen, and even our
own speakers, because of the prom li
enee which we have permitted it to
receive tnrough our connection with
tho silver R.pul'liecns and tho Duiao
cratij party, have not inirtquentiy
of late, themselves almost so; gotten
that i; was not the mam issue and
have said little about anything else.
It a halt in this direction is not called,
by the time Bryan is in the prsei
dental chair, if elected, the assertion
will be made and generally accepted
that free silver was the only thing
really promised, or earnestly demand
ed, and that will be the extent of
monetary reform that will be granted.
1 do not say that this assuredly will
be so, but that there is grave dan
ger of it, and that it is an added
reason why we should be careful
now not to yield further of the power
to direct public thought which or
ganization gives
But again, what ought the western
Populists to do. You ask my opin
ion and I am now ready to give a
direct answer, having at such length
reviewed the situation that my an
swer might rest upon the facts and
arguments thus advanced and not be
thought to be dictated by a stub
born pride of opinion, or an unpa
triotic adherence to party.
My opinion is, and there lingers in
■ny mind not the faintest shadow of
dou it, that your true and only safe
course is to stand by the action of
the St. Louis convention, put forth a
full tlectoral ticket for Bryan and
Watson and unless Sewall is with
drawn and Watson substituted vote
it to a man.
Until Sewall is withdrawn and
Wai son substituted we have no evi
dence of the sincerity of the Demo
cratic party that should induce us to
fuse with them on state or county
tickets, no not so much as on consta
ble.
Even when that is done I hold it
would be better for us to run straight
state and local tickets, since only so
can we maintain the organization
which will give us most influence
with the administration if success
crowns the effort, or line up for the
fight in 1900 if unsuccessful In No
vember 1896.
If the Democrats are really and
earnestly in favor of the reforms
demanded in their own platform
they will, rather than prevent a sat
isfaotory union of forces accept Wat
son. If they are no; in earnest and
honest then we cannot accept more |
of them.
Upon no possible theory or basis
can wo be asked to yield more, and
by no argument can it be shown
that we can safely do so. If we
would preserve our organization wo
must stand by the action of the con
vention and that means Watson
quite as sincerely, honestly, and
earnestly as it means Bryan, Neith
er does it mean that we may make a
show of standing by Watson while '
giving him away as Kansas has un
wisely done. Kansas alone could
have compelled the putting of Wat
son on the ticket and Indiana can do
it yet, for without Kansas and Indi
ana, Bryan’s election would be seri
ously jeopardized. They do not !
risk, and do not feel that they risk
the ultimate carrying out of the re
forms demanded by conceding the
vice-presidency to us. We do feel i
that in surrendering everything to j
them we would risk, all that we hive
contended for, therefore, they and
not we, are responsible for failure to
elect Bryan, if it fails through not
making the union of forces perfect
by putting Watson in place of Sew
all. In doing it they yield only a
portion of partisan pride. Wa have
given that much already, and would
give more but that with it we must
give to those we would, but cannot,
wholly trust, th.i power to crush our
hopes of seeing our country torn
from the grasp of the plutocracy.
If the Demoeratic party was really
wise in its leadership it would wish
us to have the tall of the ticket and
to make the union of our forces as
close and as perfect as possible, for
such a union on the national ticket
in 1896 will, if it have the result
which must logically be presumed to
follow, restore the Democratic party,
purged and purified ct its corrup
tionist leaders and influences, to
power in every western as well as
southern state in 1898, and insure its
continuance in power for many years
in the nation. For it would be im
possible as it would be undesirable
and undesirable as impossible to con
tinue separate organizations of Pop,
ulists and Democrats when once
confidence was firmly established by
the accomplishment in part at least
(and so far as could reasonably be
exp cted of the next congress and a
Demo-Populist president or vice
president) of vhs reforms demanded-
Na ura! y thh’Slusion of the two
parties in 1898 would be perfect,
they would properly and unavoida
bly marge in one and that one would
in all probability retain the nme of
Democrat or possibly the now Dem
ocracy. Whoever will look at tho
situation calmly unaffected by the
clamor of the unthinking or angry
partisans oa either side, cinnot fail
of recognizing the fact that the plac- I
ing of Mr. Watson upon the ticket
instead of Mr. Sewall means if suc
cess follows at the poll*, the final ab
sorption of the Populist party and
the revolutionizing of the Democrat
io party against which we have so
long contended and a: the hands of
which -no have suffered everything
except death- It is not, therefore,
pride in party name that promises us
to refuse to gia step further than
we have gone, but instead to de
mand that the tail of the ticket be
given us.
It is the earnest conviction that
so, and only so, can victory- for ou.
principles be assured. It is the feel
ing, growing if possible, sponger
with every p issing day, that we risk
tne principles for which we contend
if tre do not now halt, line up, and
hold every inch of ground left us as a
party.
This communication which is in
tended to go to your readers, if you
wish it, is already long, but not lon
ger than tho necessity of making my
position clear cons peled, and I have
still left some points untouched, one
of which I wish yet to notice as an
argument to our friends tha Demo
crate.
I have said that a complete union
such as is meant by Watson in place
of Sewall means victory for the na
tional ticket now and restoration in
power in ’9B of the Democratic par
ty in the south and west. It will
not be just the same Democratic
;arty that has held power in the
pad, but it will be the Democratic
party in name with new leadership—
the Democratic of Jefferson
and Jickeon breaking tha spirit of
the patriotism of thpse men and of
such Republicans as Abraham Lin
coln asd Thadeus SI evens. To you
as D micrats will b- left your pride
in party name, and yith you through
the administration t of Mr. Bryan,
will remain the Federal patronage.
To us Populists, way-worn and
scarred with the battles of twenty
years, will rennin the consciotisne-s
of a victory won by your later con
version, and the joy of seeing our
country freed from the grasp of the
money power. That only, but it is
enough we are content that it shall
be so since it is tha logical result of
even s now passing or which we
hope to bring to pass. But if you
in your pride of power given you
through the action of delegates
which, if Florida be a fair example,
wholly and to ally misunderstood [
and there r ore misrepresented the
party, if you refuse us the little we
ask and thereby weakening still fur
ther our confidence in your honesty
of purpose to secure the reforms de
manded in your, as in our platform,
and if thereby McKinley instead of
Bryan is elected, we, because we re
fuse to abandon, but instead will la
bor earnestly to strengthen our par
ty organization, will replace the
Democratic as the second, if we do
not take the place of the first party,
in the nation while the Democracy,
split, defeated, convicted by the
calm, after judgment of the people
of being responsible for the defeat
of its own ticket and of the reforms
so urgently needed by the people,
the Democratic party will sink to
the third place and in all probably
be wiped out of existence.
What has occurred in Kansas in
the past year, the almost wiping out
of the Democratic parly, will occur ;
in every state. The Populist party,
strong and vigorous, and with the
confidence of the people in that it
has offered even its own life that the
people might be free, yet refused
stubbornly to die until it could be
indubitably proven that tiereby a
danger to plutocracy would not be
removed, the Populist party will
surge to the front upon the wave of
public confidence and esteem and it
and its leaders will assume control
of the nation, instead of what yet
may be, if Democrats are either wise,
patriotic, or disposed to deal fairly
with us who have shown our readi
ness t s be more than fair to them.
No man may foretell with posi
tiveness the future but logicidly con
sidered the result of refusing to put
Mr. Watson in place of Mr. Sewall
will be as I have pointed out. It is
with you, the Democrats who pro
fess to desire a union, to give us that
which will establish confi ience among
us, make the union or national ticket
perfect and lead up to victory from
which will naturally follow that per
fect union in all the states, which
means re-est-blishing your party in
power permanently; or it means a
failure to unite through your refusal
to be just, or patriotic, or even par
tisanly wise, and if defeat follows in
November upin you and not upon
us shall rest the onus of defeat, and
following it st 11 further loss of con
fidence in yi ur w sdom and your pa
triotism and tee final death of your
party organization through absorp
tion of your voters by the Republi
cans on the one hand and the Pop
ulists on the other
It is with you to choose, for as far
as you are concerned we have no
further right of choice, having done
all that reason, or honor, or patriot
ism will permit us.—Rensselaer (Ind)

Athens, Ga., Aug. 31.—An in
dignation mee ing, at which fu.l 300
citizens were present, was held here
tonight and action was taken on the
throwing out of names from the
jury box.
Speeches that indicated in full
measure tha sentiments of the o.ti
zens in attend ance were made and
resolutions requesting the immediate
resignation of the jury commissioners
were adopted.
Tne meeting is the result of the
removal of about one hundred names
from the jury list of Clarke county,
Hon. H. C. Tuck acted as presiding
officer. Speeches were made during
the meeting by Chairman Tuck, W.
II Jester, W. F. Dorsey, S. J. Trib
ole, J. T. Wilson and Gilonel W. B.
Burnett.
The jury commissioners disposed
of the natnis last week and since
that time Athens has been in a con
stant commo Jon ot excitement and
discussi. n. The meeting tonight
was one at which considerable feel
ing was shown. Not only was the
instant resignation of the jury com
missioners demanded, but it was also
resolved to ask the next legislature
to chauge the law applying to Clarke
county in the matter of jury com
missioners, if such a thing is possi
ble.
The whole matter will be referred
to Judge Hutchine, and will probably
rest principally with him. The jury
commissioners have remained con
servatively s lent as to the action of
ihe citizens’ meeting, but regarding
the throwing out of names say that
theymerel, did what they regarded
as their duty —Coustitutiou.
