Republican central committee as
saying: "There are 350 gold men
now in Raleigh, he says, and acces

This is a second time Mr. Weston
has received a call to this charge.

cision in regard to tne will, the

Bryan to Srnnrp the Middle West.

after he fills his doteo inho Eont,
Mr. Bryan will spend the remainder
of his time speaking in what is re
garded as the close States of the
middle West. He will put practi
cally all the month of October in at
this.
The speech making in the East is,
it is understood, entirely at the wish
of Mr. Bryan himself. He believes
it will do good. Whether he thinks
it will do good in the West is not
known. He knowsthat his speeches
are published verbatim, and he may
think that what he says in the East
will be more widely read " in the
West. In other words, the Eastern
speeches are intended for Western
and Southern .consumption. .
It is hinted that Mr. Bryan might
have abandoned his trip to Maine
and Massachusetts had not' Sewall
and George Fred Williams insisted
so strongly that he could not resist.

"The dilatory tactics cf Watson
have aroused some of the Populists

They claim that he has not acted in
good faith and that all efforts thus
far have been put forward towards
feathering his own nest. What
speeches he made in Georgia before
his departure for Texas, they fay,
were made in his own behalf. It is
claimed by rr.any that the cause of
the present condition in the State

due to the indifference of Watson as
to the campaign in the State.
"Before Watson left for Texas he
had been slated for speeches in

been informally agreed upon.
Frost Thursday Morning.
There have been rapid changes in
pressure since yesterday morning.
The area of high pressure which
was central over South Dakota and
Nebraska has moved to Missouri,
Illinois and Ohio, and a considera

country in an easterly course.
Heavy frost occurred at Cincinnati
and killing frost at Chicago and
Detroit, high frost at Kansas City,

The large "high" denominates the
