J.address V gaged to the of the voters time. Fusion diffi¬
most
culties and the attitude of certain
members toward Watson formed a sub-,
i ject of protracted aud lively debate.
I Mr. Reed was present as the per-
f L «omil having representative spent two days of with Mr. Lrm Walson, just
ft before leaving Atlanta,
r Following is the address prepared
by the committee: Voters
t To the Feopie’s Party of
f the United ‘States —Your national
f Committee indulged the hope that the
patriotic action of the people’s party
in national convention, in subordi¬
nating the interests of the party to tho
success of the vital issues involved in
this campaign, would be met by equal¬
ly unselfish devotion to a combination
in ihe present democratic party, and
that all the friends of silver could pre-
isent a solid front against .the minions
■of greed by supporting one ticket, the
truly co-operative ticket—Bryan aud
Watson, But this ^hope being disap¬
pointed, there were but two courses
left, one of which must bo adopted.
First, to run a straight Bryan and
Watson electoral ticket iu every state,
which, on account of the failure of
the democratic party to support this
j ticket, would have effected the same
. result in lbs campaign tint would
have followed the nomination of a
straight populist ticket at, St. Louis,
namely, the election of McKinley and
L tho triumph of the gold standard.
Tile other c; urse left open to your
committee that was consistent with the
^ action of tho convention in nominating
Mr. Bryan was to do everything in its
power to unite tho voters of the coun¬
try against McKinley aud to overcome
the obstacles and embarrassments
which, if the democratic party had
put the cause first and the party see¬
ded, we would not have encountered.
This, could be accomplished only by
arranging for a division of the elec¬
toral vote in every state possible, se¬
curing Watson, so and many conceding electors for Bryan and
so many to
Bryan and Sewall. At tho opening of
the campaign this, under the circum¬
stances, seemed the wisest course for
your committee, and it is clearer today
than ever that it was tho only safe and
wise course if our votes were to be cast
and made effective for the relief of an
oppressed and outraged people.
Following this lino of policy, yonr
committee lias arranged electoral tick¬
ets in three-fourths of the states, and
will do all in its power to make the
same arrangements in all of the states.
By perfecting this arrangement, and
every sincere opponent of the gold
standard giving loyal support to these
joint electoral tickets, the people’s
party will not only secure in the elec¬
toral college for Bryan and Watson
several times as many votes as we
could have possibly secured by making
a straight ticket, but we will secure
the defeat of McKinle^Aun^ ‘old
standard, which -e

UERCHANTS’ \
BANK ASSIGNS. j
fter a Prosperous Career of Iwenty ]
Years the Doors are Closed. j
After a successful career of nearly
twenty-fouryears.the Merchants’bank, |
of Atlanta, closed its doors Friday. A J
notice was posted on the glass door at
9 bank o’clock, had notifying made the public that the |
an assignment.
Ihe announcement that the bank j
had failed created a surprise in the ]
city, and in commercial circles the j
failure was the principal topio of con
versation during the day. The failure j
did not come unexpectedly to some of
the bankers.
The failure is attributed to several
causes, tho principal one of which is I
the fact that the assets of the bank are j
composed principally of real estate,
on which the officers of the institution
could not realize sufficient ready money
to meet the requirements of the bank.
Another strong reason was a sudden j
demand made upon the bank for funds
on deposit. Within the space of a few
days Tax Collector Stewart withdrew
$55,000. Other heavy withdrawals were
made, amounting in all to $80,000.
The assertion is made that the assets
exceed the liabilities by far, but that
the failure came because the assets
consist of securities which are not
marketable when the occasion de¬
mands is the accepted conclusion.
The failure of the old institution
caused , general , regret , in . ,, the city. . .
Several leading bankers stated that
had the bank officers called for help
it would readily , have , been offered. „ ■
Ihe Atlanta Clearing House assoc.a-
tion officers said that assistance would
hftve been rendered the Mercnants ;
bank upon demand. i
The directors of the bank met Fn-
day morning at 8 o clock ana they
adopted a resolution directing the oft-
cers of the bank to make an assign-
ment to J. G. Oglesby George Win-
Bhip a nd George W. boott.
The assignment document gives the
condition of the bank as follows:

The failure of the hank caused a i
slight flurry in commercial circles -
when it first becaltne known, but the
excitement soon died out.and business j
resumed its normal condition, There ■
was a slight disposition on the part of
some depositors to withdraw their
money from other banks,, but no bank
experienced what might ibe termed a
run.

BRYAN IN DETROIT.
GREAT CROWDS LISTEN TO THE
SILVER candidate.
He Closes a Pour Dai s’ Campaign
Through Michigan.
Mr. Bryan ended bin four days of
Michigan campaigning with three
speeches at Detroit. Saturday night.
During that time he traveled nearly
1,400 miles through the state and made
about seventy speeches. the
His closing cay was devoted to
eastern part of the state, along Lake
Huron, between St. Johns, a town
near’Lansing, to Detroit. He made
fifteen speeches and had big audiences
everywhere, along
The su0C e S8 ffi n «f large towns
the route followed rapidlv, one after
another. Incidents! of interest at the
meetings addressed were numerous,
Mrs. Bryan was caught among a
crush of excited people at Saginaw and
the train started away without her,
but was topped after it had prooeed-
ed but a very slwrt ,(aatance.
In t jje crowc j a t Owossee, early in
the morning, Mir. Bryan had pointed
out to him, by his request, the editor
of a Palmer and Buckner local paper
who had propounded some question,
for the nominoo to answer, and made
bis presence conspicuous to the delight
u f the audience. While most of liis
speeches contained practically no new
matter, the candidate made some in¬
teresting comments on the third ticket
and tho platform in his Detroit
speeches. Mr. Bryan
In his Sagimyw speech an¬
swered the charges that the Chicago
platform is auatrchistic, and quoted
Justice Brown, of the federal supreme
court, who was appointed from Michi¬
gan, in support of the alleged attack
on that tribunal.
Detroit exceeded in attendance and
demonstrative appreciation at the
three meetings held there, as was nat-
ural in view of its larger population,
and (be preparations that had been
mftdo for Mr. Bryan’s reception, any
reception „ iven the candidate else-
where during the day.
But the smaller towns and cities
sbo wed how groat an interest was felt
tl ffi democratic campaign by the
presence of remarkably. enthusiastic
crowds, numbering many thousands at
8ome plaoes _ instance,
Bay City and vicinity, for
furui6hed between 15,000 and 20,000,
with the exception of Detroit thelar-
g e8tj but by no moans thS most demon-
strative assemblage that saw or heard
the nominee.
The crowd of from 8,000 to 10,000
at Saginaw made Mr. Bryan nnder-
stand by the heartiness of the cheers
gj ven that he was among friends.
It was the same at Flint, with a
gathering of about 5,000, and at Port
Huron, where Mr. Brvau tried to make
himself heard to 8,000 people.
The other stops were at St. Johns,
Ovid, Gwossee, Durand, Vassal 1 , La
Pere, Imla City and Mount Clemens.
The aggregate of Mr. Bryan’s audi¬
ences, who heard the three speeches he
made in Detroit, equaled, if it did not
exceed, the greatest crowds that saw
and heard, him in any city he has
visited.
SOUTHERN PROGRESS.
The Industrial Situation a3 Reported
for the Past Week.
Reports received the past week from
southern manufacturers show a steady
increase in business due to the contiu-
ued cool weather, rapid crop move-
ment and tho advance in wheat, wool,

September show an improvement over
August and in the bank clearings an
increase of 18 per cent over the week
previous is noted.

firmly maintained. Some largo cop-
tracts are reported especially in steel
and iron bars and also in nails. Pig
iron continues in good demand and an
| advance of 25 cents per ton has been
made on some grades. the
| Very little change is visible in
, lumber market. Business is not up to
i the average for Ihe season and a num-
; *>er of lumber failures are reported.
The export trade is unusually active,
! Textile manufacturers are doing a
i fair amount of business and expect an
improvement after the election. The
I busy season is fairly on m the coal
mining districts and business is in-
creasing at a lively rate.
The following are among the most
important new industries reported:

Messrs. H. W. Deed and George F.
Washbnrne left Atlanta Sunday morn¬
ing for Thomson, where they went to
pay an official visit to Thomas E.
Watson.

a
They atlvod in Atlanta from Chicago
Saturday night.
Their conference with the populist
nominee for vice president is regarded
as one of importance. The report has
gone out that they have with them Mr.
Watson’s letter of acceptance which
ho mailed to chairman Marion Butler.
It was understood from prominent
populists here that these visitors from
Chicago will talk over the whole situ
ation with Mr. Watson. They will
acquaint him with what has been go¬
ing on at populist headquarters and
tell him why certain policies have been
adopted.
The trip of Committeemen Reed and
Washbfiru culminated at Thompson
Sunday at noon, where they were met
and driven at once to the home of Mr.
Watson. En route they were seen by
a press reporter but declared they had
absolutely nothing to say. Sunday
night they were seen again in compa¬
ny with Mr. Watson, at his home, and
Mr. Washburn said:
“We have nothing to give out to
the public. We have spent a quiet
day in private conversation and have
greatly enjoyed this perfect October
day in this genial Georgia climate.”
Mr. Watson was asked if he would
return to Atlanta with Messrs. Reed
and Washburn, and said he would not
go before Tuesday.
Mr. Reed said: “Mr. Washburne
and I will return to Atlanta tomorrow,
and if there is any statement that we
desire to make to the public we will
make it there, though I do not know
that there will be any. ”
HORRIBLE RAILROAD ACCIDENT
Collision and Holocaust Result in
Three Dead and Others Missing.
Passenger train No. 35, from the
north, due at Savannah at 4:50 a. m.,
Wednesday, and train No. 36, leaving
Savannah Tuesday night at 11:25, on
the Florida Central and Peninsular
railroad, came together near Swansea
Wednesday morning at 3:05 o’clock.
It was a head-end collision and both
engines were totally wrecked. The
combination mail and baggage car on
train No. 35 turned over and pinned
down in the debris Baggage Master
Lines and Mail Clerk Thomas.
• The car caught fire and they were
burned to death, being unable to ex¬
tricate themselves. None of the pas¬
sengers were seriously hurt, though
many were bruised and badly shaken
Up.
W. E. Ulmer, flagman, is missing
and is undoubtedly among the killed. |
Ulmer was last seen standing between ]
the first and second class coaches. He
was doubtless caught iu one of the
telescoped cars and burned up in.
the wreck, together with Lines and
Thomas.
Thomas is supposed to have been
killed outright, as he was in the for-
ward end of the combination mail and
passenger coach, which was telescoped
by being driven upon the tender.
GOLD CANDIDATES SPEAK.
Messrs. Palmer and Buckner Address
Citizens of New Orleans.
Senator Palmer and General Buck¬
ner addressed an open air meeting
Saturday night at New Orleans. A
grand stand had been erected at Lib¬
erty place and decorated with U nited
States Hags aud Chinese lanterns. The
grand stand was crowded with invited
guests, including many ladies.
The crywd numbered between 4,000
and 5,000. General Buckner spoke
first, and was well received.
Senator Palmer followed and read
the plank in the Chicago platform re¬
lating to coinage, and when he utter¬
ed tho words “16 to 1” a round of
cheers from Bryan supporters greeted
him.
“Con^out “That’s right,” said the senator.
boldly and say what you
think a want no cowards or sneaks
in America.”
The speaker finished about 10
o’clock, having ^p’oken about forty
minutes.
FAMBLE9 RESPITED AGAIN.
He Is Given Sixty Days Lease of Life.
May Be Needed as a Witness.
Governor Atkinson has issued an
order granting a further respite of
CO days to Gus Fambles, the negro
now in Bibb county jail under sentence
of death fer assisting Mrs. Nobles* the
Twiggs county white woman convicted
of the murder of her husband. Fam¬
bles was under sentence to die Aug. 7
last, when the first respite was granted.
He nbw has a new lease ou life that
will last-him almost till Christmas.
The reason assigned by the governor
for granting tho respite is that in the
case of Mrs. Noble, which is still pend¬
ing in the supreme court, Fambles
may be needed as a wituess should a
n'qw trial be ordered.

WATSON HITS HARD.
EXPRESSES HIS OPINION IN NO

He Sends a Red-Hot Message to
Topeka, Kansas.
Hon. Tom Watson is irate, and i B

Butler of the populist national oom-
mittee.

blows at the leaders of his party, and
; n giving vent to his indignation he

Affined principle and gono into a
scramble for the pie counter.
The vice presidential nominee
charges that his party has been sold
0 nt and male a footmat for democratic
politicians to wipe on under hypocriti-
cal pretense of patriotism. Watson
says that if Bryan is defeated, it will
be the fault of the traders in his party
and his own, who have ignored the St.
Louis compromise. Watson telegraph¬
On Thursday Mr.
ed his latest indignant ideas of the
situation to Topeka, Kan. In his mes¬
sage be says that on account of his sore
throat he cannot keep his western en¬
gagements, and he takes occefsion to
add a few scorching sentences, evi¬
dently aimed at Chairman Butler and
the leaders of democracy,
Watson’s message reads as follows:
Thomson, Ga., October 14.—Abe
Steinberger, secretary of the middle-
of-the-road committee, Topeka, Kan.:
Ulcerated sore throat will prevent my
keeping appointments. I greatly re¬
gret this. The middle-of-the-road pop¬
ulists all over the union have my sym¬
pathy and admiration. They have
been sold out and their party made a
foot mat for democratic politicians to
wipe their feet on under the hypocrit¬
ical pretense of patriotism.
The fusionists have abandoned prin¬
ciple and gone into a mad scramble for
the pie counter. If Bryan i9 defeated
it will be the fault of the traders in
his party and ours, who have ignored
the St. Louis compromise and tried to
force the populists to vote for Sewall,
the bondholder, national banker, cor¬
poration plutocrat and “gold clause”
millionaire.
