Watson Not A Candidate.
August^, Ga., J uly 15.-The Tribune, an
afternoon populist paper, published here,,
contains the following significant cardi
from Hon. Thomas E. Watson, in refer¬
ence to an editorial nominating Watson
for a place on the populist presidential
ticket:
Thompson, Ga., July 14.—The Tribune:
Your editorial of yesterday makes it nec¬
essary for me to say that under no cir¬
cumstances will I accept a nomination
for either place upon our uational ticket.
Yours truly,. Thomas E. Watson,
Straws show which way the wind blows.
The ticket put out by t he populists at St.
Louis will be an endorsement of the dem¬
ocratic nominees. Such, it is evident, up
the opinion c*f Mr. Watson.
Wrangle Over Bxyan.
Huron, S. D., July 15 —The platform
was presented to the populist state con¬
vention after 11 o’clock last night. The
delegates to the St. Louis convention are
instructed to work with the silveritesand
W r J. Bryan is suggested the most
. as
available candidate. The platform also
declares that prohibition should be voted
upon regardless of party affiliations; mi¬
nority report recommending the state
control of the liquor traffic was defeated.
At 1 o’clock tins morning after a bitter
warfare of words over endorsing Bryan,
occupying nearly two hours, resulting thequestion
was brought to a vote, in a vote
of two to uue in favor of theendorsenient.

Bryan to receive the unqualified endorse¬
ment of the convention aud in return the
of thestate whose organization
is wholly controlled by the Bryan elemegt,

will endorse the populist nominee. This

To Coin Silver.
Washington, July 15.—Owing to the
fact that the amount of silver dollars in
tiie treasury available for redeaipton of
treasury notes has become reduced to
$10,659.58 aud is likely to be further re¬
duced by redemption during the current
mouth the coinage of silver dollars by tbe
mints will be increased from $l,Of)O,000
to $1,500,000 to $3,000,000 per mouth
from Aug. 1 aud will probably be contin¬
ued at that rutein orderthat the treasury
may have a sufficient stock to redeem
treasury notes presented in exchange for
silver dollars.
