WATSON ELECTORS
TO RENOMINATED AT ACON-
TION HERE SEPT. 19.
TOM WATSON CONSULTED.
The Call Issued by Two of the
Founders of 1 he Party.
Hon. John E. Willits, whowss the
People’s party candidate for governor
of Kansas in. 1890, and who, many
people including himself will always
think was elected, had there—been
any thing like fairness in counting
and returning the vote cast, is one of
the men who has been strongly de
nouncing the action of the Abilene
convention and casting about to see
what could be done to prevent the
annihilation of the People’s party in
this banner state.
Hon. W. F. Rightmire, who was
the candidate for Chief Justice on
the People’s part}’ ticket in 1890,and
who was one of the original founders
of the party, is another man who
does not desire to see the tail wag
the dog, and all the good work ac
complished for reform in this state,
go for naught.
These two old wheel horses have
been consulting and have had no
trouble in getting together. Yester
eay they went down to Erie to con
sult with Hon. Thos. E. Watson, the
Vice Presidential nominee of the
People’s party and the result was
the issuing of a call for a state con.
vention to nominate Watson electors
to be voted for by Kansas Populists.
The call is as follows:
Brothers: The traflioing office
hunters who have secured the con
trol of the-People’s party organiza
tion have entered into a shameless
bargain with the Democratic party
of Kansas, trading off our principles
and our candidate for Vice President,
Thomas E. Watson, nominated upon
onr St. Louis platform, for the sake
of a chance to capture the state and
congressional offices of Kansas.
We, your standard bearers in the
campaign of 1890, believing that the
Populists of Kansas will stand by
the St. Loujg. convention of 1896 and
.. its candO-’K for Vice President
• is pr -rence to
the traitors and office hunters of the
state of Kansas who made this trade
in the late state convention, and
thereby demand that taa Populists
of Kansas shall vote the Democratic
electoral ticket, call this convention.
Believing in the honesty and the
love of principle of the Populists of
the state of Kansas, we hereby call
upon the middle-of-tho-road Popu
lists in each county of Kansas who
favor a straight People’s party elec
toral ticket for the state of Kansas,
to send one or more representatives
from each county of the state to
meet in Representative hall in the
city of Topeka, Saturday, Septem
ber 17, al 10 o’clock a. m, for the
purpose of nominating a straight
middle-of-the-road Populist elec or
al ticket for Bryan and Watson.
And to make such o.her nominations
and take such other action as shall,
by said convention, be deemed bast
for the success of Populist principles.
(Signed) John F. Willits.
W. F. Rightmire
It is said that Mr. Watson has
promised to make a red hot campaign
in Kansas and no one doubts his
ability to do so. He will be present
and deliver an address at the con
vention. lie spoke at Erie yester
day.—Topeka Press.
Their Own Work.
A million Populists wi 1 refuse to
support Bryan if Sewall is not taken
down.—The Progressive Farmer.
An exchange truly says: That is
to say a million Populists will repudi
ate their own work and their own
candidate. Mr. Bryan is as much
the nominee of the Populist conven
tion as he is of the Democratic con
vention—Kinston Free Press.
Does any one suppose that the
Populists would have nominated
Bryan at St. Louis it it had not been
done with the understanding that
Watson would get Democratic sup
port ? Failing to get the convention
to endorse Bryan aud Sewall as the
Democratic managers and the Popu
list traitors hoped to do, Watson
was put on as a compromise.
Circumstances point to the fact
that the Populist national convention
was delayed for the sole purpose of
ie'.tirg the Democrats get in ahead
with a pl?tform and candidates which,
it was hoped, would be satisfactory
and break up the reform movement.
Now we want to be thoroughly
understood. Wo can’t prove the
charges above and we can’t name
the rascals. But there is some fine
circumstantial evidence. We do
not believe and do not charge that
all <f the members of the national
Populist committee were in the deal.
Doubtless many of them were per
suaded to think it the best course.
The goods were not delivered.
Just when the endorsement business
was about to fall through at St. Louie,
the name of Watson was brought
forward. But those who voted for
Watson believed that they were vot
ing for a union of forces and not for
a division. They hardly expected
to be the only patriots in the land
when so many others were profess
ing patriotism.
The silver Democrats, of which
the editor of the Free Press is one,
claim that they have cut loose from
Cleveland ism and Wall street, If
this be true they do not want to vote
for Arthur Sew ill; their consciences
will not permit them to do so.
If the Dem'icratio and Populist
managers do not straighten out mat
ters, if they attempt treachery or to
carry out treachery, one million, yes,
two million Populists and hundreds
of thousands of Democrats and Re
publicans will not vote for Bryan in
November. The withdrawal of Sew
all is the first thing necessary.
“A million Populists!” Docs the
Free Press know what that meins?
It insane a million Americans! It
means a million men who cannot be
driven! It means a million men
who are working like slaves and
watching the great corporations and
office-holders putting the results of
their toil into their own vaults. It
means that a million Populists will
refuse to be made footballs of. It
means a million American voters who
cannot be dragged to the polls.
But will that million Populists be
alone? If they decide to put up a
Presidential candidate ninety nine
i out of every hundred Populists will
vote for him, and as the Populists
and their sympathizers number
nearly one third of the voting popu
lation of this country, and they will,
gain many recruits if forced to put
up a ticket, you can easily see where
Bryan and his party will land. The
j ffi will array" themseiveS v’.,
i the Populists, for it will be plainthat
the Democratic managers do not
i wish to win this year,—Progressive
Farmer.
A Card.
’ Editor People’s Part)' Paper:
It has come to my ears from many
sources, that Democratic speakers are
, saying that I do not stand by any part
of the Peoples party platform but the
auti-barroom plank. Permit me to
say that there is not a word of truth
it in. I regard the State platform,
as a tvhole, the very best I ever saw
put before the people of a State and
1 shall vote both for it and the can-
I didates. I sincerely hope that the
entire State ticket will be elected. If
Mr Wright is elected governor he
will need the support of the State
house officers. J B. Gambrell.
Hanye Hung on Friday.
It was a sad sight for a young
man to swing off into eternity. True
he was found guilty of murder, but
it was whiskey that caused it. Gov
ernor Atkinson says, “Society de
mands protection.” Aud for this
reason he could not commute his
sentence. The Governor is right.
Society demands protection not only
from murderers, but from those who
sell the stuff that deprives men of
their senses—fires up their passions,
and makes them murderers, Pro
tect society from whiskey sellers,
from bir-rooms, and the like, by
passing the anti-barroom billl. Talk
ab'ul, lo'al option! and against the
an i-barroom bill, because some of
the people don’t want it. Protect
society by compelling them to put it
away, Vote for the legislator who
will vote for the anti-barr;>ora bill—
“ Society demands protection.”—

It. T. Davis Interviews His Own
Race.
Editor People’s Party Paper:
I see that our daily Democratic
papers are trying to make the people
believe that ail Atlanta colored
voters will vote for Mr. Atkinson, so
I decided to interview a few of our
most prominent colored men, and
this is what they gay :
Willis Murphy is one of the
largest retail grocery dealers in the
eastern part of the city. Murphy
says: “I have never voted the Dem
ooratic ticket when I could find any
other ticket to vote.”
J. B. Printop, a porter on
Whitehall street, says: “I intend to
vote the whole Populist ticket in the
State election.”
R. L. Jones, grocer merchant, cor
ner Frazier and Richardson streets:
“I can’t see for my life how colored
men can vote the Democratic ticket,
when the Democrats draw the color
line so closely in making nomina
tions.”
Captain C. C, Wimbish says: “I
have not fully decided just what I
will do in the State election ”
H. H. Bomar, porter, says; “You
may say for me that I will vote the
Populist ticket and will not vote the
Democratic ticket if Gov. Atkinson
pardons every man in the peniten
tiary. I am not made out of that
kind of stuff.”
11. C. Brooks, collector, says : “I
will vote for Mr. Saab Wright tor
Governor.”
Letter from Idaho.
Council Valley, Idaho)
Sept. 3, 1896. j
Editor People’s Party Paper.
The Populists in this part of the
world would like to have a little ad
vice from you in relation to our pres
ent condition.
In the first place, our State con
vention and the Democrats agreed
on a fusion ticket in which the Dem
ocrats get all the electors thus com
pelling us to vote for Bryan and Se
wall. Go in to some robber camp or
stay at home. Now, we appear to
bd left without a rudder to our ship,
since Capt. Gunn, editor of the Boise
Sentinel, our Populist paper, has vir
tually gone over to the Democrats
by ignoring the action of our Na
tional Convention and placing Se
waill instead of Watson ou our na
tional tickeq and the way we look at
it his election will simply be a Dem
ooratic victory, and we are deprived
of the privilege o' voting for Tom
Watson.
I have talked to a number of Pops
in this part of the country, and the
general opinion is that they can swal
low Bryan if Watson is mixed in
to render the dose palatable, but if
Sewall is a component part of the
mixture they cannot and will notswal
low the dose. It is the old cry on
the part of the Democrats of “Help
me Cassius, or I sink,” or “will you
walk into my pa’lor, said the spider
to the fly.”
From the way the Democrats act
they apprar to bo more anxious for
the destruction of the People’s Party
than for tho free coinage of silver;
and many of our great leaders seam
willing to wade into the mud waist
deep to pull the Democrats out of
their hole, even if they have to crawl
in themselves and pull the hole in
after them.
I was an old Greenbacker. I saw
the Greenback party fused to death
by tie Democratic party; Isswthe
National party absorbed by the Dem
ocrats, and now wo are called upon
once more to play the Jonah to the
Democratic whale. I, for one, beg
to be excused. 1 shall not even fol
low our great leaders into the Dem
ocratic camp.
Hurrrah for Bryan, Watsort and
victory, or Bryan, Sewall and ofefeat.
And there is many a Pop in thfe part
of the country that will echo th > sen
timent. They tell us that it is new
Democratic party, but it smells very
old to a Bop with Sewall oi the
ticket. H. F. John ox.
