WATSON SAYS
i HE'LL STICK
Populist Leader Interviewed as
to His Candidacy by
James Creelman.
NO FAVOR FOR SEWALL
Declares He Will Place His Head on a
x Block Before He Will Sorren
to a “Plutocrat,”
DENOUNCES BUTLER'S METHODS
Severe Arraignment of the Managers of
His Campaign; Cites Instances—A
Character Sketch.
from the Atlanta Journal.
NEW YORK, Oct. s.—The world prints
this morning the following interview
with Hon. Thomas E. Watson, the Popu
list candidate for vice president, signed
by its staff-correspondent, James Creel
man, who is now in Atlanta:
Suffer Death First.
“I’d lay my head on the block before
I’d retire from the race to make way for
a plutocrat, a bond holder, a national
banker and protectionist like Mr. Se
wall,” said Tom Watson as he sprawled
back in a big arm chair in bls room last
bight. A wonderful face, a face in which
youth and age were strangely compound
ed, a gaunt thin-lipped crackled-skinned
face with high cheek bones, straight nose
and wide recoding nostrils, wrinkled and
puckered and' hollowed, but electric with
eagerness and almost impish in its flash
like humor.
Mr. Watson had just come In from the
country where 4,000 rip-roaring Georgians
had stormed the platform at the close of
his fiery oration. His soft felt hat was
tossed on a chair and a bunch of gera
niums lay on the table before him, crim
son, white and pink, a tribute from some
frantic valley-dweller. The Populist can
didate for vice president was eating
grapes. His dull bronze colored hair
glowed in the mild glare of the gas blaze
overhead, the small hazel eyes shone
bright and keen under his jutting fore
head, and the muscles of his angular
jaws played visibly on the surface as he
talked.
Mr. Watson is a slender sinewy man
with bony well-formed hands. He gives
you the impression of being freckled al
though his skin is spotless. When ne
laughs his eyes draw a thousand
wrinkles across his temples. Two deep
lines travel down the hollows of his 1
cheeks and are met by sharp little wrin-~-
Kies reaching out towards the nostrils.
He looks like the old picture of Henry
Clay. The mystery about his face is due
to the parchment texture of his skin. One
moment while he cmiles and he show’s his
loosely set small teeth you think he is
a youth of 20 and the next, when he tears
up words by their roots, with some of the
Soil clinging to them, and draws his
brows down over his sharp eyes, mouth
hard set and little ears standing out
sidewise from his head, he might be*a
sage of 60. His earnestness flames up in
his strange old-young face. Such is the
leader oracle and shepherd of Populism,
the one man In the youngest party of tne
country who will not bargain or sell in
politics. It would have done Mr. Sewall
good to have seen his dread rival as he
stretched himself out there in the bright
light, an old-fashioned shirt bosom filling
up the space between the ebges of his
unbuttoned vest. Mr. Watson’s jaw
would have interested him. It is the jaw
of a crusader, the jaw of a martyr.
Sewall *B Retirement Bryan’s Hope.
“If Mr. Sewall is willing to get off the
ticket I believe that even now’ there is a
chance to elect Mr. Bryan,” said Mr.
Watson as he picked a grape from the
dewy bunch. “Mr. Bryan and I could at
once make a tour together and inside of
10 days wo might restore thousands of
votes.”
“How could Mr. Sewall be got off the
ticket?”
Mr. Watson pulled another grape and
cocked his leg over his knee. His eyes
burned in his head.
“It w’ould be easy enough. The Dem-
Mr. Sewall and say to him ‘Mr. Sewall
Mr. Sewall and say to him Mr. Sewall
you are the menace to the ticket. Un
less you withdraw Mr. Bryan will be de
feated. You are endangering his chan
ces.’ There w ill be nothing for Mr. Sew
all to do but to resign. If he wishes to
see Mr. Bryan elected, ho will retire
now’.”
“But suppose Mr. Sewall should refuse?
The national committee cannot compel
him.”
"I will remain on the ticket till the last
ballot Is cast,” exclaimed Mr. Watson.
“When the election is over I will go back
to my party and they will know then that
the trust committed into my hands has
not been betrayed. I have been shame*!
fully treated I am not afraid to do
my duty. I represent a great political
party and was regularly nominated for
the office of vice president in my party’s
national convention. Think of how I
have been used; think of the humiliation
of having to beg in public for a forma’
notification of my nomination. Think of
the Indignity of being asked to abandon
the cause of my party for the sake of a
fellow like Sewall. No, 1 will not retire.l
intend to vote for Mr. Bryan and to do
all in my pow’er to elect him, but I want
to warn the free silver Democrats of the
country that they cannot hope to secure
enough votes from the Populists to elect
Mr. Bryan by reviling and deriding their
candidate. I represent men who pray be
fore they fight, men who have no lust for
office, men who have sacrificed every
thing for principle and have withstood
ridicule, misrepresentation and ostracism
for conscience sake. You cannot
laugh down a cause for which a mi jf >n
eight hundred thousand men mave cast
their votes. These men are beginning to
realize that their party has been sold out.
It has been fused away. Unless they are
treated fairly and respectfully by the free
silver Democrats thousands of men will
stay aw’ay from the polls in November.
Already the Populist papers which are
Indorsing fusion in the west are losing
circulation, and those which are flgbMng
it are gaining circulation. Senator But
ler’s paper is losing rapidly; so is Sena
tor Stewart’s Silver Knight”. But th*
Populist editors in Georgia, Missouri,
Texas, Indiana, Kansas and other states
w’ho are opposing the surrender of the
Populist party to the Democrats, tin 1
that their circulation is increasing at a
very rapid rate. That tells the story.
These anti-fusion papers wore the incu
lniters of Populism, the cradles in which
It was rocked. These editors are ths
John-the-Bapt’sts of the movement.
know’ that Populists will not vote for a
mere plutocrat like Sewall.”
Again Mr. Watson plucked a grape. Ho
leaned forward until I could see the
creases and furrows in his lean weather
beaten neck, a neck that W’as made for a
white stock. His eyes seemed to change
color. He stretched his arm out before
him and let his hand fall loosely on the
table.
The Fusion Racket.
“Even if Mr. Sewall should persist in
threatening Mr. Bryan’s candidacy by re
maining on the ticket, I would consent to
fusion in some of the states if it were
offered on a basis that w’as not absolutely
Insulting to the Populist cause. InKansas
the Populists have no representation
whatever on the presidential ticket. They
have given all the electors to the Demo
crats in exchange for the state ticket.
In view of the fact that the Populists of
Kansas have four times as many votes
as the Democrats, they ought to have
seven elector out of the ten. I would
not be satisfied with less. In Colorado
the Populists should have three out of
four. In North Carolina the Democrats
have as many electors as the Populists—
think of it—and one elector is given to a
thing called free silver. I don’t want to
say what the real basis of fusion ought
to be in North Carolina, because that ia
Senator Butler’s state, but it ought to be
something more consistent with the
pow’er and dignity of the majority party
there. The whole Populist campaign has
been mismanaged. It is outrageous.
Georgia and Texas refused fusion. We
pointed tho way, but North Carolina,
Kansas and Colorado failed to take ad
vantage of the situation. If they, too,
had put Bryan and Watson tickets In
the field, Mr. Sewall would have had to
get out. The situation would have been
Irresistible. It Is not too late even now
to carry it out. I cannot understand why
Mr. Bryan went to Maine tho second
time. It was a mistake, a serious mis
take. The more Mr. Sewall Is forced up
on the Populists the more the danger will
grow, and there is great enough danger,
already. My idea of the campaign was’
to be perfectly honest and make the Is
sue a sectional one. It is a sectional is
sue. We could have appealed to the pride
and material Interests of the south and
west and have united them solidly against
the east. Then we could have said to the
east, ‘You believe in the gold standard,
and we don’t. Now, vote for your con
victions and we will vote for ours.’ It
would nave been an open, square fight.
I would have confined the heavy work of
the campaign to the real fighting ground
In the border states: Maryland. Indiana,
West Virginia, Kentucky and Illinois.
We would have had a chance with such
a campaign as that.”
Just here I had an Illustration of Mr.
Watson’s scorn for money. There was a
knock at the door and a young man en
tered bearing from a silver mine owner,
who has a newspaper in New York, an
offer of $1,060 for the very statement
which Mr. Watson was giving to me off
hand. Tho Populist reader read the note,
smiled ana said to the messenger “There
is no answer.” The young man faltered
at tho door. The wrinkles In Mr. Wat
son’s face were instantly In action. He
shook his head. “There is no answer
whatever,” he repeated.
“Mr. Watson,” I said, “all tho signs
point to Mr. Bryan’s defeat. In that
event what will happen to the Democrat
ic party?”
In the Event cf Bryan’s Fefoat.
“Why, the Democrats will split in two.
One half will go to the sound money
Democrats, w’ho will be in the position of
the Charles O'Connor Democrats In the
Greeley campaign. The rest will unite
with the Populist party. The Populists
can make no surrender of principle,neith
er now nor in the future. Unless wo
stand for something that is opposed to
the ideas of the two old parties we are
malicious meddlers, cantankerous busy
bodies. There is hope for tne country in
an honest, unpurchasable third party.
There must be a sword of Damocles
hanging over the heads of parties w .
lie on couches of ease. Jefferson led- a
party,- Jackson left a third pa a;,
and Lincoln led a third party. But there
is danger that the Populist managers in
some of the states will fuse all their
strength away. Look at what has hap
pened In Alabama. Reuben Kolb fused
the Populists with a Republican until he
has practically killed his party there,and
now he has joined the Democrats him
self. And if the Populists of North Car
olina, Kansas and Colorado give them
selves up to the Democrats they will kill
their party also. The free silver Demo
cratic leaders seem to think that they
have the game in their own hands and
that they can offer any insult to us with
Impunity : They are mistaken. It was
hard enough for me to got my Populist
friends to consent even to the Bryan and
Watson fusion. But I told them that Mr,
Bryan stood substantially for the ideas
I represented and that they could vote
the ticket with confidence. But it is hard
to work with the Democraticmanagers.lt
is hard to labor cordially with people
who are kicking and abusing you all the
time. It is hard to support a partner
ship when the partnership is all on one
side.”
Mi*. Watson clasped his hands over one
knee and rocked himself gently in his
Chair. His Wise was cold and hard.
“I abandoned law practice of SB,OOO
a year to enter pubTJa life. I was a Dem
ocrat. I gave up a seat in congress to
work for the People’s Party. I did not
ask for this nomination. When I
was nominated I was at home
and in bed. Yet I have
been humiliated by the very men who
ought to have been my best friends and
most cordial supporters. After my nomi
nation Senator Butler, the national chair
man of the party, urged me to go to
Alabama and begin the campaign there.
I answered that there was no reason why
I should go to Alabama but that I desired
to go to the western states and stop the
populist fusion on the Bryan and Sew&lJ
ticket. Senator Butler replied that there
was no need for me to go west because
the fusions there would soon die out. I
did not see it in that way and wrote
to him frankly that there was no likeli
hood of the fusions dying out after they
had been firmly mortised into their places.
When I went to Kansas to speak I was
met by the populist state chairman, Mr.
Breidenthal, who told me that the party
had already arranged a fusion and begged
me not to make any trouble. I told him
that I would speak at the mass meeting
which had been called. Then he asked me
if I would let him see my speech. I did
a thing which I had never done before
and have never done since, I read my
notes. When I came to the part of my
"speech in which I denounced Sewall as an
enemy of our cause and our principles,
Mr. Breiuenthal pleaded with me to omit
it. Os course I refused to do it. ‘Am
I not the nominee of the party,’
I asked him. ‘Did you not yourself vote
to make me the candidate for the vice
presidency?’ Still he insisted that I should
not attack the millionaire candidate.
‘Very well,' I said, ‘I will take my hat
and my grip and go back to Georgia.’ At
that he relented and I made my speech,
The crowd went wild and at the closq
of my remarks there was a tremendous
rush for the platform. At the next place
I spoke In Kansas I had the same trouble
to face.
Snubbed in Knnm,
“The committee said that everything
had been nicely arranged and that I
ought not to disturb the plan. I insisted
on doing my’ duty’ to my party’ and spoke
boldly to the people. There was another
great popular demonstration a.*l a rush
to tho platform. Again I spoke in Kan
sas. There was no one to meet me at the
depot, although the time of my arrival
was known. .1 rode to the hotel in a pub
lic cab with a colored man who happened
to be .going in the same direction. That
is the wa.v the populist managers have
treated tho candidate nominated by their
national convention. Why, the feeling Is
so strong in Colorado that some of the
ablest populists met me in Denver and urg
ed me to authorize them to organize a
revolt in that state. The feeling is be-

coming more Intense every day. We can
not surrender to the democrats. Rather
than belong to an organization that mere
ly pretended to stand for principle. I
would go back to tho democratic party
and help reform It. If those who have
been false to the mandate of the populist
convention really desire to kill the party
they picked out tho wrong man when they
named me. I will make no compromises.
When this election is over the populists
will know how to distinguish their true
friends from their false friends. But no
matter what happens I will stand by the
populist flag.”
Whereat a thousand new wrinkles came
into Mr. Watson’s keen intelligent face
as he shook hands with mo and bade me
good night. Os the five candidates before
the nation he is the most picturesque, the
most original and in some respects tho
brainiest. He is not afraid of publicity.
He is not a sham.
JAMES CREELMAN.
Hon. Thomas E. Watson.
The oration delivered at
Lansing theatre yesterday by Hon.
Thomas E. Watson of Georgia, was
an intellectual treat which is not en
joyed many times in a lifetime. The
writer of this has had the good for
tune to hear Lincoln, Douglass, Sum
ner, Wendell Phillips, Gladstone,
Labourchre, Ingersoll, Bradlaugh
and Phillips Brook', but never was
he at an intellectual banquet where
food for thought was served more
bountifully than at this feast of rea
son and flow of soul tendered the
people of Lincoln by our guest from
Georgia.
In elegant diction, in inoessive
statement, in convincing logic, in
that triumph of all oratory, tho power
to gain the good will and sympathy
of an audience, Thos. E. Watson has
no superior in the United States.
He began with an acknowledg
ment of the generous and kind treat
ment he had received from the peo
ple of Nebraska, and then came the
frank statement that he was a Popu
list standing upon the Populist plat
form. He spoke for over two hours
amid almost constant thunders of
applause, yet the time seemed only a
few minutes. Tuere were keen
flashes of wit rapier like thrusts of
sarcasip, demonstrative logic, beau i
ful word pictures, pathos and senti
ment.
II s discussion of the principles of
a just system of taxation was full of
learning and scholarship, and his
conclusions the same as arc arrived
at by all students of that subject
viz , taxes should be laid on property
and not per capita on men.
He defended the Popuiist idea of
the public ownership of all pub ic
highways. In reply to tho question
of how we could buy and pay for
; the railroads, he said, we paid for
them, as things now are every twenty
years anyway, and after they were
thus paid for we did not have even a
hand car to show for our money.
Ho told the story of the Georgia
central railroad. It was the pride
of the state. The money of widovs
and orphans was invested in its
stock as a safe investment. Retired
merchants, after a business life time
in trade, put their money there.
Then Cfl. Brice and a syndicate
came down in a palace car and “re
organized it.” When they got
throng ,it was bonded and mort
gaged for $50,000,000. Tae stock
worthless and the widows, orphans
and old retired mere iants were beg
gars. Hi thought the government
could run the road better than that.
In sneaking of the tar ff question
he summed it up this way: A pro
tective tariff will either raise, lower
or not effect prices at all, ana asaesl
the Republican which it would do.
The Republicans not being inclined
to answer, he said that if it raised
prices, then these goldiie Republi
cans were wese than tho free silver
men, wbon Bourke Cochran de
nounced, because they wanted to
raise prices and make the wage
worker pay more for his food and
clothing,if a protective tariff lowered
prices they could see the effect of
that all around them. If it did not
effect prices at all, what was the use
of having any thing to do with it-
There was a little crowd of Re
publicans at the back part of the
theatre. When Mr. Watson said
tuat the real gold standard meant
that all taxes and all ’ebts must
be paid in gold, they eetmed inclined
to make a disturbance as the free
silver men began to yell back at
them.
No public speaker ever showed
more tan and skill than Mr. Watson
did at this junction. He had the
whole thing quieted in side of a half
a minute. He said: “If lam wronj
I wish to be corrected and if you
prove that I am wiong I will make
an apology. What do you mean in
your platform when you say ‘the
I present gild standard?’ Then he
want after Grover Cleveland and the
I old Democratic par.y with a few
! swage thrusts that set the R q nbh
! cans all to laughing. Bit in an in

more about it than they ever knew
before. I
When sema one called out, “II ow <

there was ro'und after round of j 1
cheers. 11
When he undertook to read an I
extract from one of McKinley’s <
speeches, the Republicans began to i
howl again, at which Mr. Watson i
said that he was surprised that tho
Lincoln Republican re'u ed to listen
to one of Major MoKin'ey's s leeches.
That brought down the home.
He closed his speech with a bril
liant peroration, saymg that Haena
and McKinley stood for the money i
power and special privileges and;
Bryan against them, therefore he
was for Bryan. Then the top of the
theater came near being lifted off!
