WILL BE 1 FUSION Between Populists and Democrats. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF DEMO¬ CRATS REJECT PROPOSITION Submitted by Populist Leaders Looking to Fusion. Result of tlie Meetup io Atlanta. BATCH OF RESOLUTIONS WHICH WERE ADOPTED. One of Them Names Time for Election of Judges, Another is the Reso¬ lution Against Fusion. The leading men, the state commit¬ teemen, the national committeemen, the electors, the congressional nomi¬ nee® of three great political parties of Georgia were in session in Atlanta Tuesday morning. The democrats held their meeting in the Kimball House. At a few’ minntes before 12 o’clock Chairman Clay mounted the marble counter of the Kimball aud announced that immediately every member of the state committee, the electors and the congressional nominees or their repre¬ sentative were invited to meet in the ball room of the hostelry. The gathering was called to order promptly at 12. After the calling of the roll Chairman Clay asked for sug- tions concerning the matter of select¬ ing the judges. After a discussion lasting nearly two hours the following motion was adopted: Recolved, That the several counties of the state are directed to select, cither by primary or mass meeting, as the executive committees of the seve¬ ral counties may elect, two delegates for each representative in the lower house of the Georgia legislature, to a convention to be held in the city of Atlanta on lho 18th day of November next, to nominate candidates for four supreme court judges; that said pri¬ mary or mass meeting shall be held in each county on the 14th day of No¬ vember next. As soon as the supreme court matter had been settled, the proposition of fusion submitted by the populists w’as read by the secretary. The ultimatum is as follows: Whereaj The people’s party of Georgia accepted in good faith the St. Louis compromise,viz.: The nomina¬ tion of the lion. W. J. Bryan as the presidential candidate on the ticket with the Hon. Thomas E. Watson, with the tacit understanding that this act of patriotism on their part would be met with a similar one on the part of the democratic party in the withdrawal of Mr. Sewall and effect a complete com¬ bination of the silver forces, and Whereas, The people’s party of Georgia, in their state convention, in accord with said understanding, did provide for a joint electoral ticket, and Whereas, The democratic party of Georgia, the homo of the Hon. Thomas E. Watson, has not made and is not making any effort to perfect or obtain the fusion of forces inaugurated at St. Louis, although such fusion ex¬ ists in almost every state in the union; and Whereas, It should be their pleasure and pride to advance a citizen of their state aDd section, a man who is with¬ out stain, above reproach aud whom all fair-minded men esteem, respect and honor and whose every aetion in this campaign has been so patriotic aud manly as to challenge the admira¬ tion of American manhood; and Whereas, It is our belief that it i® not only the intention of the leader® of the democratic party of to defeat, but, if possible, to humiliate the Hon. Thomas E. WatsoD, either by a corrupt ballot, as has been mani¬ fested in the Tenth congressional dis- trict, or by a partisan legislature set¬ ting aside the will of the people, and forcing Bryan and Sewall electors on the state, even though that ticket should ran third in the election; and Whereas, The silver-plated Demo¬ cratic press of this state has belittled and belied the candidacy of Mr. Watson and issued this edict. Therefore be it resolved, That as a final effort to secure tbe uuion of the silver forces to which the demo¬ cratic party is committed and to test the patriotism of our professed allies, we do now withdraw the following electors: William H. Felton, state at large; H. C. Newton, Second district; Thomas B. Davis, Fourth district; W. S. Whittaker, Sixth district; J. J. Green, Eighth district; Wm. Lansdell, Tenth district; W. M. Bennett, Elev¬ enth district, and insist that the dem¬ ocratic party of Georgia withdraw six of their electors, substituting the re¬ maining six populist electors with the understanding that the thirteen shall east their vote for Bryan and Watson. Be it further resolved, That if the democratic party do not accede to the foregoing just and reasonable proposi¬ tion withiu five days from date; then be it Resolved, That our central commit¬ tee is authorized and empowered to withdraw, if advisable, our remaining electors or reinstate those that are now withdrawn and that we concentrate every effort of our party in tbe elec- t’.on of our congregational nominees. Besolved, That a copy of these reso¬ lutions be transmitted to the demo¬ cratic executive committee. John D. Cunningham, Chairman. James L. Sibley, Secretary. There was a buzz following the read¬ ing of tbo populist proposition, which indicated very strong disapproval of it. A spirited discussion ensued, which resulted in the following resolution which was adopted: Resolved, That the popnlist com¬ mittee having made a proposition which completely ignores fusion by eliminating entirely the candidacy of the democratic nominee for vice pres¬ ident, Mr. Sewall, and has cut off the the democratic committee from further consideration of the question by fixing au arbitrary limit, which expires to¬ day, giving this committee no oppor¬ tunity for consideration of a move¬ ment for proper fusion; therefore, Be it resolved, That the chairman of this committee appoint a committee of five, of which he shall be chairman, to properly present to the public the attitude of this committee on the re¬ fusal to accept the unreasonable and unjust ultimatum of populist commit¬ tee, clothed as it is in offensive and unbecoming language. The Populists Gather. Committeemen and nominees began to drop iBto populist headquarters at on early hour in the morning and a number were there before State Chairman John Cunningham arrived from Marietta. They were from different sections ©f the state, but had the same report to make of the disposition among the populist voters in their respective sec¬ tions. It was that fusion upon the terms laid down in their ultima¬ tum of the 15th infant would be accepted with satisfaction and lived up in good faith by giving the fusion ticket a full party vote. In the event that their proposition for fusion on a Bryan and Watson basis was re¬ jected their people would slay at h ome or vote tor McKinley. The idea was that about half the populists would re- train from voting on the electoral ticket find as many more would vote for McKinley straight as a measure of retaliation for the treatment which Mr. Watson has received from the dem¬ ocrats. The concensus of opinion was, in a word, “No Watson, no Bryan.” The state executive committee met at 11 ;o0, but little was done at the session, as there was a disposition to wait and see w hat action the democrats would take on the populist ultimatum. Mr. Watson faiied to arrive on the 10:15 train and word was received that he would be on hand ai 6:10 p. no There was little for the committee to do and they did not, seem disposed to discuss the situation until they knew what it was, or what the democrats would do. Accordingly the committee, soon after it was called to order, adjourned to meet again at 2 o’clock. The committee reassembled at 2:10 p. m. The news of the action by tbe democratic committee was received with every manifestation of interest. It was the opinion cf the populist committee that a communication would be sent them by the democratic committee and they waited. But the communication never came aud ad¬ journment was taken until C o’clock. At 6 o’clock the committee was call¬ ed to order again, but there seemed to be nothing to be done aud the. com¬ mittee adjourned to meet again at 8:30 o’clock. At that time the committee gather¬ ed. In the meantime Mr. Watson had arrived and shortly alter 8 o’clock he and National Committeeman Reed walked to populist headquarters from the Kimball house. The committee went into secret ses¬ sion. Just before it adjourned Mr. Watson came out. “I have nothing to say,” he replied to various questions. “1 care to dis¬ cuss nothing. T am feeling much bet¬ ter physically. I shri’l speak tomorrow in Birmingham and think that my throat will hold out.” Mr. Watson wished to say nothing about, his letter, nor would he talk up¬ on the fusion proposition. A copy of the following special was presented, but neither Mr. Watson nor Mr. Reed, who was with him, would have anything to say. He left, instruc¬ tions at tbe hotel not to be disturbed by visitors of any kind: Boston, October 20.—A letter was received in Boston from George F. Washburn, of the populist national committee, who is on his way to Chi¬ cago, which indicates that the long- delayed Watson letter of acceptance will be given to the public Wednes¬ day. Tbe letter which will be given to the public is a very different affair from that which was originally sent and which as a matter of fact never did reach Senator Butler, to whom it was addressed. Mr. Washburn and Mr. Reed, of the national eommittee,ebarged themselves with the responsibility of carrying the letter back to Georgia to have some of the dynamite edited out of it, and this has been accomplished. The Committee Named. At their night meeting the following committee was named by the populists: John Cunningham, J. L. Sibley, W. F. Carter, W. L. Peek and L. L. Clemens. This committee, it was stated by tbe chairman, had plenary powers to do what they thought was best. Just what the committee will do or what the result of the populists’ will be cannot be said. The action of the democrats is final, and the letter of the special committee will he ready in a day or two. What Col. Buck Says. During the day Colonel Buck, tbe republican chairman, made the follow¬ ing statement: harmonized “The Love-Wright faction® have and come into the regular republican organization, five of that faction having been placed on the state central committee, towit: R. R. A^McNeal A Graves^’ T * ^ a ‘ ker * S ’ According to this the republicans in this state present a solid phalanx to their antagonists, and fusion or no fu¬ sion among other parties, they are not a house divided against itself. Colonel Buck was asked about fusion between populists and republicans,and for reply he said: “I can’t say. I have thought, of course, that the democrats and popu¬ lists would fuse. I should think it would be most natural for them to do. Don’t you think so? They have the same man for president, and I should think they would want to elect him. “Will the populists s-ek fusion with ns if the democrats refuse? There is no telling about that, Several indi- viduals of the party have spoken to me on the subject just after the state elec- tion. I have not received any intima¬ tion from authorities in the party. It is not out of the possibilities that the populists should seek fusion with us. I have simply gone on the supposition that they would fuse, the democrats and populists, and now I am waiting to see what they will do.” SIR. SPENCER TESTIFIES. He Admits That the Southern Owns Much Central Stock. Mr. Samuel Spencer, president of the Southern Railway Company, ap¬ peared before the Georgia railroad commission at Atlanta Wednesday morning. Mr. Spencer bad been summoned to testify in regard to the ownership of the Central, the Macon and Birming¬ ham and the Georgia Southern and Florida railroads. Mr. Spencer denied that the South¬ ern was directly or indirectly inter¬ ested in the purchase of the Macon and Birmingham railroad. He said he did not even know Messrs. Edwards and Parsons, the present owners. In regard to the Georgia Southern and Florida, he admitted the Southern had bought a controlling interest in that road. According to Mr. Spencer eight thousand shares of new stock have beeu issued and the Southern no longer has control. Ho said the Georgia Southern and Florida was bought merely to prevent its acting in any unfriendly manner toward the Southern. There was never any intention to absorb it. Further¬ more, Mr. Spencer claimed, the line was not a competing one and the Southern had legal right to purchase it. In regard to the Central, it was ad¬ mitted that it competed with a branch of the Southern system, but Mr. Spen¬ cer denied that the Southern had will¬ fully violated the law. He said the West Point Tfrminal company had purchased 4,50 0,000 shares of the Central stock which nat¬ urally came to the Southern when the Richmond and Danville was bought. This stock is still in the hands of the reorganization committee of the Richmond and Danville railroad, and will not pas® into the hands of the Southern if that company he.e no right to own it. The stock has been with¬ held by the reorganization committee owing to the doubt as to the South¬ ern’s rights in the matter. Mr. Spencer stated emphatically he was not a director of the Central aud that he had made no attempts to control the policy of that road. He said the enforcement of rule 1 by the commission would not hurt the South¬ ern in the least, but would work a great hardship on the country. Rule 1 provides that continuous mileage rates shall apply over lines that are under one management. If the commission holds that the South¬ ern and Central are in the same sys¬ tem it will reduce through rates on freight handled by both “lines. SPANISH PREMIER TALKS. Says He Has Assurances that America is Loyal to Spain. A special cable to The New York Herald from Madrid says that, in an interview with Premier Canovas he characterized as absolutely false and ridiculous the statement to the effect that the Spanish government intended abandoning Cuba in the event of the war not being concluded in March. He never entertained such an idea for one moment. “The war,” he said, “was guided entirely by the opinions and wishes of the Spanish people, and, far from desiring to terminate the war, the feeling of the suppression of the insurrection grows stronger daily. So Jong as this feeling continues the Span¬ ish government will be doing its duty in prosecuting the war to the bitter end.” Regarding the report that Cleveland intended taking action in favor of the insurgents Senor says the government has received surances from Washington to quite the contrary effect. Naturally the States government desires, for reasons, to see an early termination the war, but further than that can exceed the loyal conduct of dent Cleveland and his cabinet Spain and her government. Our rela¬ tions for the present moment ate the most cordial nature. MURRAY WINS IN CAROLINA. Congressional Contest is Decided in His Favor. The republican congressional cam¬ paign committee at Washington issued an address to the voters of the First district of South Carolina an¬ nouncing that the committee has that George W. Murray is regular republican nominee and that W. C. Cohen has no claim to nomination. Murray is a colored man and hat served in congress. PI ' |?\ J ^U ITT A \T) u I A Iv ^ ; j i I THE PRESIDENT DELIVERS AN ADDRESS TO STUDENTS. An Appeal for American Manhood and Patriotism. Fair weather favored Princeton, N. J., Thursday and made the exercises of the scsqui-centennial anniversary day doubly enjoyable. The presence of the president of the United States had the effect of increasing the already large crowd in town, and Alexander ball, where the exercises of the day were held, was packed to almost suffo¬ cation. Previous to the beginning of the ceremonies, the City Trooii of Phila¬ delphia assembled at the home of President Patton, where the president had been a guest over night, and es¬ corted the head of the nation on foot through the university grounds to Al¬ exander hall. At the opening exercises President Patton made the formal announcement that what was formerly the College of New Jersey will henceforth and for¬ ever be known as Princeton Universi¬ ty. \Y ild enthusiasm greeted Dr. Pat¬ ron’s remarks. He then announced the endowment fund received, amount¬ ing to a million and a half of dollars, not including the amounts contributed for Blairville by John I. Blair, of Bairdstown, N. J., aud the new li¬ brary. The ceremony of conferring the de¬ gree on the 65 men elected lor the honor was next on the program. it was reported that President Patton desired to confer the degree of doctor of laws upon Mr. Cleveland, but the president modestly declined the honor. The degree of doctor of laws was conferred upon a large number of Eu¬ ropean college professors and s-cholars. Many Americans were similarly hon¬ ored. Degrees or doctor ol divinity and doctor of letters were conferred upon a number of prominent people. Then came the principal event of the day, the address by the president of the United States. Tlie address was a leDgthy one. Among other things the president said: “When the excitement a a party warfare presses dangerously near our national safeguards, I would have the intelligent conservatism of our uni¬ versities and colleges protest, and in impressive tones against the perils of a breach impossible to repair. When popular discontent and passion are stimulated by the arts of design¬ ing partisans to a pitch perilously near to class hatred or sectional anger, I would have our universities and col¬ leges sound the alarm in the name of the American brotherhood and frater¬ nal dependence. When the attempt is made to delude people into the be¬ lief that their suffrages cau change tne operation of natural laws, I would have our universities and colleges proclaim that these laws are inexorable and l'ar removed from political control. I * When selfish interest seeks undue private benefit through governmental aid, and public places are claimed as reward of party service, I would have our universities and colleges persuade the people to a relinquishment of the demand for party spoils and exhort them to a disinterested and patriotic love for their government, for its own sake and for its true adjust¬ ment and unperverted operation in se¬ curing to every citizen his just share of safety and prosperity held in store for all. When the attempt is made to allure the people from tbeir honest thoughts ur to blind their eyes to the red light of national dishonor, I would have the Princeton university, pano¬ plied in her patriotic traditions and glorious memories, and joined by all the other universities and colleges of our laud, cry out against the infliction of this treacherous and fatal W’ound. PEEK RETIRES. He Leaves the Congressional Race 1o Livingston and Hendrix. Col. W. L. Peek, populist candidate for congress, has retired from the race. Mr. Carter, a member of the com¬ mittee of five which is to settle the question of the Georgia electoral vote, says: “It is not true that there was any understanding with the republicans about Colonel Peek’s retirement. It is not truo that pressure was put on him by the populist committee to re¬ tire. The committee never requested it or even suggested it. On the con¬ trary, individual members of the com¬ mittee urged him not to retire. The true cause of his retirement is that the delay about fusion with the Democrats has so hampered Colonel Peek and so injured his chances that he determined to give up the race. Just before leaving yesterday he said to us ; ‘If you all had acted promptly one way or the other on Tuesday, I would have gone to congress, but you have dilly-dallied until my chances are ruined, and I am going to let the thing drop. » »» Secretary Sibley says: “It is unjust to lay the onus of hit- retirement on the committee. Mr. CunniDgham and I have kept absolute sileDce and observed the utmost cau¬ tion to do nothing that would embar¬ rass his candidacy. There is absolutely no truth in the published statement that pressure wag thought on him by the committee.” Explosion Kills Two. Two men were killed and the mixing department of the Acme Dynamite works, near Hulton, Pa., Monday morning by an explosion. The con¬ cussion shattered windows and shook houses for more than a mile around. WATSON IN BIRMINGHAM. Speaks to Several Thousand Persons in the Alabama Town. Between three and four thousand, people gathered Wednesday night in Capital park at Birmingham, Ala., to hear Hon. Thomas E. Watson, cf Geor¬ gia, make an address on the national issues. Excursions were ruu into the city from Blossburg and Oneonta. Mr. Watson was given a respectful hearing, and with the exception of a few ques¬ tions which were asked him, he was not distubed. He did not refer to the Georgia fusion matter nor his letter of acceptance, Mr. Watson first touched on the po¬ sition he now holds. He said he did not seek the nomination. Continuing, he said bis position has not been pleas¬ ant and his only move in the campaign has been to discharge his duty. He claimed to have thrown no obstacles in the way of Bryan, but said he has done everything to point out the way of success. There was a unity be¬ tween the south and west on Bryan, but it could not be expected that the populists would vote for Sewall. He said he bail no personal objections to Sewall, but that the party which has been denouncing a banking system ought not to support a banker. “We ask the democrats not to ask us to violate our principles,” he said. “The democrats came to our conven¬ tion proposing a partnership. We say tor God’s sake let us be one cf the partners. The democrats say they want fusion. We say don’t play the whale act aud take us for a Jonah. You might forget to deliver us up.” The speaker went on to say that if either the democratic or populist, party was to be abandoned, it should be the democrat?., lor the populist party con¬ tains no goldbngs, while the demo¬ crats have such leaders as Gorman and Hill who will not do anything for sil¬ ver, but are supporting the platform to destroy it at the first chance. He added: “When anybody says to me, ‘Come dowD, you southern man,’ when I am asked to lie down in the dnst aud let this eastern plutocrat wipe his feet on my neck, would you want a southern man to do it? (Cries of “No!”) “You have been wearing sackcloth and ashes long enough. You have fur¬ nished half of the electoral votes from the south to name a president, and have never since the war been allowed to write the platform or name the nominee. Can the sonth be a hewer of wood and drawer of water for the east ? (Cries of “No !”) “Before I would be false to the pop¬ ulist party that has honored me; be¬ fore I would disappoint these patriotic men; before I would suffer the only true and tried party pledged to reform to disband and become the victim to a political trick, I would die the death of a dog ten times over.” The speaker said, in closing, after he had discussed the principlos of the populist party, which included the government ownership of railroads, free silver coinage with more paper money, opposition to bonds and uujust taxation, that were he to come off the populist ticket, Bryan’s defeat would result,as he would certainly lose North Dakota and Oregon, as there is no an¬ ti-republican ticker except the Bryan and Watson ticket, and it is too late to put out another. He regards those states as necessary to Bryan’s election. He said his withdrawal would cause a collapse of Bryan’s cam¬ paign iii Indiana and Illinois, where fusion is necessary to success, and for that reason democrats should not de¬ sire his withdrawal. He scored Kansas populist leaders for treachery and democrats for greed. He said he was willing to an equal division of the Kan¬ sas vote. He appealed for fair treat¬ ment for his party in all states and said if it was accorded the populists would line up to a man, in November. Mr. WatsoD retired shortly after the speech, leaving word at the hotel office not to be disturbed until morning, when he took au early train for Gads¬ den. NO FUSION IN GEORGIA. Democrats Reject Proposition of Pop¬ ulists. The democratic state committee of Georgia met in Atlanta Tuesday to consider tbe proposition of the popu¬ lists looking to fusion. After a lengthly disenssion of the matter, the following resolution was adopted : Resolved, That the populist com- mittee having made a proposition which completely ignores fusion by eliminating entirely the candidacy of the democratic nominee for vice pres¬ ident, Mr. Sewall, and has cut off the democratic committee from further consideration of the question by fixing an arbitrary limit, which expires to¬ day, giving this committee no oppor¬ tunity for consideration of a move- ment for proper fusion; therefore, Be it resolved, That the chairman of this committee appoint a committee of five, of which he shall be chairman, to properly present to the public tbe attitude of this committee on the re¬ fusal to accept the unreasonable and unjust ultimatum of populist commit¬ tee, clothed as it is in offensive ami unbecoming language.
