Washington. Jane SO.—Decided op
position sprung up In the house yes
irrdey over the blit providing for the
rcrntnage of abrased and uncurrent
.liver dollars Into subsidiary coin, re
ports from the Southern and Western
states Insisting that the bill meant the
contraction of the allver in circulation,
ami It failed of pasaage.
Mr. Clark, of Mltaourl, led the fight
against the bill, on the ground that It
was a scheme to contract the cur
rency.
Mr. McCleary, of Minnesota, asked
Mr. Clark If after he had purchased
an article costing a dollar he gave the
storekeeper a 120 stiver certificate, re
ii ■ hnnge nineteen silver dot
lari, whether he would not make i
loud "kick?”
"No, air," replied Mr. Clark, 'Td take
It so quick It would make hla head
swim. I would take everything he
would hand out.”
Mr. Clark aald If he was secretary
of the treaaury he would have all the
silver dollars piled up In the trees
urv vaults In circulation, a statement
which the Democrats loudly applaud'
rtl. The vote stood 115 to 90.

WATSON GAVE PLEDGE
ON DISFRANCHISEMENT;
SAYS HE WILL KEEP IT
Opposes the Indepen
dent Action of Pop
ulists in Georgia.
CALLOWAY IB HONEST
BUT HAS MADE MISTAKE
Hoke 8mith’i Platform Conforms
to Pledge Watson Publicly
Made in 1904.
Sperlsl to The Georgian.
Thompson, Ga., June 20,—Tour cor
respondent, having read the call of
Chairman Holloway for the Populist
convention, this morning called on
Hon. Thomas E. Watson and asked
him flntly two questions:
1. What, do you think of It? i
2. Wftat are you and your friends
going to do about It?
Mr. Watson, without hesitation,
■aid:
“After consultation with Holloway,
HlneS, Sibley, McGregor and other
Populist leaders, 1 pledged the sup-
; >ort of myself and party to the dle-
ranchleement Issue on the night of
September 1, 1904, In a great public
meeting In the State capttol In Atlan
ta. Hon. John Temple Graves was
>resent, and knew how that pledge was
ndorsed. Not a dissenting voice did
I ever hear until McGregor made his
break, late In 1905. .
“I made, the pledge In good faith, and
will keep It. I will expect all Populists
who then Indorsed, me to stand by me.
"Hoke Smith’s platform come* up to
conditions of my pledge, and Hoke
Smith will have my support, In accord
ance with my pledge, f will appeal to
all true Populist* to sustain me In this.
“Chairman Holloway Is a good, hon
est man, but has made a mistake. Hlx
action will no! change my cmm-c at
all. The convention he has called will
not represent the Populists nor bind
them, for the reason that there la no
oxlatlng county erganiratlon in a ma
jority of the counties of the state, and.
hence no legal way to aeleet delegates.
'The most active workers for the
convention were: John Full wood, who
a a Republican pnd holds nn nflloe un
der Roosevelt as postmaster of. Cedar-
town, and Yanoey Carter, long a Re
publican deputy marshal under A. E.
Buck, then a Populist, who was de
nounced by me In The People’s Party
Paper for hla shameful void against
the antl-Berroom bill ' after he Had
been elected to the state senate on that
Issue with my active help; and who
formally re-entered the Democratic
party, ran for the legislature In Hart
county aa a Democrat and was beaten.
He did not support me In 1904, nor did
Fullwood. Tet these are the men now
steering, the Populist campaign!
"I ahnll recognise that these men
are agents of the Howell-MCWhorter
railroad ring, and that their object In
putting out a ticket la to pull off votes
rnm Hoke Smith.
With all the power that la In me. I
will denounce this foul scheme, and I
will repudiate the right of such a con
vention aa they have called to bind
the Populists of Georgia.
“1 will probably make one speech,
■ome night In July, In Atlanta. Thla
will depend, of course, upon the wlahes
of those whose preference In the mat
ter must be considered.
"But so help me Ood I will religious
ly adhere to the express and Implied
obligations that rest upon me In the
campaign, regardleaa of consequences
to myself.”
Mr. Watson spoke with great earn
estness and with an evidence of much
feeling In the matter. He la much im
proved In health and la undoubtedly In
great ahape to give account of himself
In a public speech.

WIII the Joint debate between Hoke
Smith and Clark Howell take place
In Rome Saturday?
A red-hot row Is on In the Hill City
between the local Smith and Howell
committees as to the arrangements.
A Joint, meeting of the two commit
tee* was held there Monday and after
eoma caloric words had born bandied
about a split occurred, without an
agreement having been reached.
First, news came that the debate was
to be held, at Mobley park, but for
Nome cause that proposition blew up.
Then the Smith men got together and
decided to erect a platform at the foot
of Myrtle Hill cemetery, which I* Juat
acros* the Fifth ward bridge from
Broad afreet, and have their candidate
apeak there.
Th* Split Comet.
Th* Howell committee objected
etrenuoualy because . .they contended
that Hr. Howell did not have aa strong
a vole* aa Mr. Smith and could not b*
heard to advantage In the open. They
held out for the opera house.
”Oo to,” said the Smith committee.
"Our committee has the privilege of
making these arrangements. Our can
didate Issued the challenge, and Mr.
Howell accepted It. If he want* to
debate with our man he must accept
our arrangements."
In Tuesday morning's Rome Tribune,
on the front page and beneath a dou
ble-column cut of Hoke Smith, the
following appears In big black-face
type, marked advertisement:
"Hon. Hoke 8mith will (peak I Of
Rome in the grove aeroee the Etowah

sires a division of time will be given
him, Mr. Howell opening in a speech
of one hour, Mr. Smith to fellow one
hour and thirty minutes. Mr. Howell

According to a dispatch from Rome
the Smith people are holding out for
thalr contention, and aay that If Mr.
Howell gets Into the debate he will
have to abide by their arrangemenla
The Smith committee consist* of Sea

SMITH AND M’WHORTER
PASS ACRID REMARKS
Judge Hamilton McWhorter haa add
ed to the gaiety of the gubernatorial
race by a caloric open letter to The
Athens Banner, In which he rasps Hon.
Hoko Smith vigorously. Thle letter Is
reproduced In Th* Atlanta Constitution
of Wednesday.
With hie letter to The Banner, Judge
McWhorter reproduces a copy of a let
ter written him by Hoke Smith under
date of May 29, 1994. Judge McWhor
ter's letter, some four columns In
length, goes Into the history Incident
to the Smith letter to him. In clos
ing his communication, he says:
"In view of all the facte and cir
cumstances, therefore, I feel In conclu
sion, constrained to say that so far aa I
am concerned, Hoke Smith In Ills lust
for office has degenerated from a self-
constructed and cunning antl-rallroad
'scarecrow' Into a designing and un
blushing campaign slanderer—design
ing because It is a part and parcel of
his preconceived schemo to serve his
own selflsh purpose—nnd unblushing
because he does not seem tq he re
strained by a sufficient trace of sin
cerity or decency to feel a sense of
shame."
Smith to McWhorter.
Mr. Smith's letter to Judge McWhor
ter Is as follows:
Atlanta, (Id., May 24. 1994
Hon. llamp McWhorter, Athens, Ga.
My Dear Judge: I am very anxious
to have a conference with you on
subject that will be of mutual Inter'
set to us.
When will you be In Atlanta? Will
you not rome and see me. or let ms
know that you are here, ao that I can
call on you aa eoon as possible?
Sincerely your*.
HOKE SMITH.
Mr. 8mlth'a Reply.
Concerning the publication In Th*
Athens Banner and reproduced In The
i'(institution Wednesday morning of tha
letter from Hoke Smith to Judge Mc
Whorter, Mr. Smith authorlaed th* fol
lowing alatement:
"About two year* ago I wrote Judge
McWhorter a letter, suggesting a con
ference. I regarded him aa th* clossst
political friend of Colonel Jamaa M.
Smith.
The (tat* Democratic convention
waa ahorlly to meat and I waa Inter**!
ed In the election of certain frlanda aa
delegatee to the national Democratic
convention. I wished to suggest to
Judge McWhorter that Colonel James
M. Smith make th* rack for presidential
elector and not for delegate. Thla 1*
all there waa In It.
'Judge McWhorter may think that
proposition even for such a con
ference with him on my part waa a re
flection upon me. Perhaps ha la right
about It."
