WATSON CAME BACK.
He Uu Returned From His Fusion
Smashing Tour of th West. .
. The Atlanta Constitution of yes
terday says: "Tom Watson is at
home.- His western trip came to an
end last night, when, shortly after
7 o'clock, he reached Atlanta with
National Committeeman H. W. Reed
who has been his traveling com
panion and advance agent.
( In the eyes of Mr. Watson and
Mr. Reed the trip has been a suc
cess. A series of speeches were
delivered in Texas, Kansas, Nevada
and Colorado. It was, the opinion of
the nominee that the fusion in many
of the western states between the
Democrats and Populists was not on
a fair basis. He wished to better
the condition of affairs for the Popu
lists. This is the. reason given by
Mr. Reed for the trip. Effective
work of dissolution has been accom
plished, he declares, in Kansas and
Colorado. Since the appearance of
Mr Watson the Populists have an
nounced that unless they are allow
ed representation on the electoral
tickets of these two states they will
putout full Populist electoral tickets.
Mr. Reed does not say that the
sole object of the trip was to force
the Bryanites of the west to de
nounce Sewall and refuse him their
support. He veils tthe purpose of
the mission- under the statement that
they wished to remedy what the
Populists think is an unfair division.
In State matters Mr. Watson says
that he will be at home a week before
entering the campaign. On October
1st he will take the stump again and
will speak every clay until the elec
tion. As to his letter of acceptance, it is
Stated that the Populist nominee will
wait until Mr. Bryan makes reply
before answering the epistle of noti
fication from Senator Butler.
"We have had a most satisfactory
trip," said Mr. Reid. "In every
town in which Mr. Watson spoke he
made a big crowd of couverts. I
think that he had the largest crowd
in Dallas. Here he made a stirring
speech and all the people seemed
aroused to the highest pitch of en-
tnUSiasm. Ills most eloquent speouu,
I believe, was delivered in Lincoln.
The hall was packed and the Repub
licans were out in full force.
A peculiar feature of the evening
was the presence of Mrs. Bryan, ,
who occupied astage box near where
Mr. Watsen was speaking. I noticed
her during the evening, and she
seemed more interested in the dis
cussion than any of the politicians
present She frequently applauded.
A Ralelf h Man Married in Greensboro. "
The Greensboro Record of y ester
day says:
A quiet, pretty little wedding oc

ANSWER TO POPULISTS
"Has Otho Rented Rooms in
the Moon?"
JUDGE RUSSELL ASKS
Bis Reply to Otho Wilson's Statement
That He Would Come Down Judge
Pleased With Ills Canvass - Is
Here for Several Days.
Judge Daniel L. Russell blew in
the city this morning from Durham
and has taken rooms at the Park
Hotel where he will remain for
several days. The Judge docs not
look like a man ready for the hos
pital, uor does he look to be an inva
lid. The stories of his illness are
directly attributable to a couple of
boxes of cigars which he purchased
at the suggestion of Bailey of North
Carolina, while in Asheville.
The cigar is none other than the
amous Hoolaboom brand, which
Col. Olds had the unkicdness to dub
"Pride of the Sewer."
At any rate Judge Russell smoked
three of them and every time he
smoked one lie became deathly
sick.
"They caused mo to leave curses in
my trail over Western Carolina," the
Judge remarked. It was suggested
that the cigars be sontto Democratic
poll-holders.
Judge Russell, to all appearances
is as well ana healthy as he was
before he entered the campaign. He
stated to the press that he was very
much pleased with his canvass so
far. ''I have just had an elegant
time," he remarked, "and at every
point have spoken to good au
diences. I don't remember to have
addressed a small crowd anywhere.
Judge Russell had Tittle to say
about the electoral fusion arrang
ment in the State. He stated that
the Democratic State Executive Com)
mittee had bolted the convention
and that the people would bolt the
committee's action.
When asked whether he had seen
any democrats jn nisi canvass, tho
Judge replied : "I have seen no
Democrats, a lot of Popocrats and a
few sound money Democrats. "
He denied the statement attributed
to him at Winston that Cy Watson
was dodging him.
"What about this statement of
Otho Wilson's and the Populists in
general to the effect that if- you do
not retire from the gubernatorial
race by October 15th, the Populist
Executive Committee will meet and
rescued their action in co-operating
with republicans. Judge Russell
was asked ?
'Has Otho rented any rooms in
the moon?" was Judge Russell's in
quisitive reply.
'But Otho is a good fellow, the
Judge continued. "Otho is all right.
He behaved like a hero yesterilay in
the county convention."
Judge Russell expressed the opin
ion that McKinley would carry the
State by a big majority. "I am not
betting man," he said, "but there is
plenty of money being offered all
over the State that McKinley will
carry the State and none of it is be
ing taken. "
Here the newspaper gang took
leave of his royal fatness, as he
was resting in a big arm chair with
Bailey, of North Carolina, on his
right and T. R. Purnell on the left.

RALEIGH AND INDIANA.
Kacc Between the Cutter Crews of the
llattlc-Ships.
By Tulegraph to the Press-Visitor.
New York, Sept. 25. -The race
between the cutter crews of the
cruiser Raleigh and tho battle-ship
Indiana, was started at about 11:15
from below the Narrows. Tho course
was straightway to Hie anchord
squadron of TompKinsville. Passing
Fort Wads worth the Raleigh's cut
ter was four lengths in the lead and
rapidly gaining. OlT the boarding
station the Raleigh 's men led by six
lengths, which they gradually in
creased to 10, and then to 12 lengths.
The crews seemed to be fairly well
matched, but the Indiana's men were
handicapped with a very inferior
boat, bich buried itself at every
stroke. Off Stapleton tho Raleigh
crew led by 15 lengths, but an en
ergetic spurt on the part of the In
diana men reduced the lead to 12
lenglihs, which was held until the
line was drossed. As the two crews
passed between the lines of anchored
warships the crews mounted the
rigging and cheered lustily, while
the syren of the Raleigh split the at
mosphere with piercing shrieks.
Judging from the enthusiasm the
victory of the Raleigh crew was a
popular one.

OUR ROU
Was Given a Grand Ovation
Last Night by Admirers
Such a Rasping as Was Given "I'ncle'
Strowd J"' Heard Here Before--Tore
all His Feathers off.
URaleigh did herself fproud last
night in extending to her favorite,
the Hon. E. W. Pou, such a grand
reception. Mr, Pod did himself
proud by making one of the best
speeches that has been heard iu this
campaign. It was Democratic to
the core, persuasive, forceful and
strong. It was a speech that carried
consternation to the enemy anda wak
ened the greatest enthusiasm among
all Democrats. There were Demo
crats in that audience last night who
were aroused for the first time in
years.
Mr. Strowd did not figure in the
debate at all, and before Mr. Pou had
finished plucking all his plumed
feathers, the old man had the sympa
thy of many in the audience. There
probably never were two gentlemen
so unevenly matched in joint debate.
The courageous and dashing Pou at
tacked successfully every point that
uncle Strowd attempted to bring out.
Such a scoringas was given Strowd s
inconsistences in defending Repub
licans and fusing with them was
nothing less than humiliating. Mr.
Pou put questions ftb Strowd which
tho hitter was boun"d'toacknowled,'e,
at the same time kntwinij that lliev
would stultify him.j
Mr. Pou is making a gentlemanly
canvass. He referred to M r, Strowd
personally as a clever gentleman,
and he stooped to nothing low. Pop-
iili.';'s and Republlcansopenly stated
today that Pou completely vanquish
ed !,:; i)i)')or.ent. "
Mr. Rou s magnificent reception
was nothing less than a popular
ovation. The audience was the
largest oi the year and filled Metro
politan Hall. When he stepped out
to speak tho first- time, the audience
gave a great outburst of applause
which lasted for w;vera' """utto.
No resume of the speeches can do
justice to the occasion. Mr- Pou
just kept Uncle Strowd on the rag
ged edge all the while.
Mr. Pou expressed himself as
highly pleased with the magnificent
reception accorded him last night.
He said he was grateful to the citizens
of Raleigh for the interest manifest
ed in the fight he is making. "I
suppose it is not immodest, " said he
to acknowledge that one should be
proud of last night's greetings. ''

MANY EXHIBITORS.
Twelve Hundred Feet of Space Let Today
to Three Parties Fair News.
The State Fair will soon be at
hand. Secretary Nichols is a visi
tor to the grounds nearly afternoon.
He is making many improvements in
the grounds and buildings, which
will be a pleasant surprise to those
familiar with the place.
If demands for space in whick to
make exhibits continue, additional
buildings will have to be erected or
a lot of people will be shut off en
tirely. This morning Secretary
Nichols received requests for 1,200
feet of space from throe firms, in ad
dition to requests from numbers of
people who desire smaller apart
ments. Savers & Scoville, of Cincinnati,
made application for 600 feet of spaco
in which to exhibit a handsome dis
play of wagons, buggies and hearses.
The Mil bun-Bass Company took 300
feet of space and Fogle Bros., of Sa
lem, the same amount in which they
will make a display of native woods
and furniture. Every mail brings
many applications from persons de
sirous of making exhibits.
It is a noticeable fact that Raleigh
people are not evincing the interest
that, the v should. Every firm in the
city that makes any pretentions at
all should have an exhibit at the
grounds. The fair is more of a Ral
eigh enterprise than anything else.
DEAL CONSUMMATED.
Manly. Aycr and Keith Sign l'p the Occii
ments for Fusion.
The deal for electoral fusion has
been fully consumated and the pa
pers binding the three chairmen has
been duly signed. The object of
Mr. Keith's visit to Raleigh was to
attach his signature to the document
as chairman of the Silver party.
The agreement says that for the
purpose of uniting the votes of the
said three parties for their mutual
caudidate for President, the Hon.
W. J. Bryan, and toad just the compli
cations arising out of the nomination
of two cand idates for Vice-President,
it has been arranged that the three
parties vote for the electoral ticket
recently arranged, and composed of
fiv Democrats, five PoDulist and
one silverite.
"And that all of the eleven elec
tors, if elected, shall cast their votes
in the electoral college for their
mutual candidate for the Presidency,
the Hon. Wm. J. Bryan; and for the
candidates for Vice Presidents of
their respective parties : The P0
pies Party, the National Silver party
and the Democratic party."
"If, for any reason, it shall be
come necessary to make any change
or changes in any of the electors be
fore named, such changes shall be
made with the consent of the Chair
man of the respective parties to this
agreement. "
The agreement is signed by Cle
ment Manly, Chairman Democratic
State Executive Committee and B.
F. Keith, Chairman National Silver
Party, and Hal W. Ayer, Chairman
Populist Executive committee.
Chairman Ayer and Chairman
Manly are iu doubt as to whether
magistrates shall be voted for on
the electoral or county ticket. It
not generally known, but there
can only be two tickets at the com
ing election. Electors, State officers,
congressmen, judges and solicitors
will be voted for on one ticket.
County and legislative officers will
bo voted for on the other. Magis
trates will be voted for by town ships
and not by counties. No pro
vision is made in the election law '
as to which ticket the names of can
didates for magistrates shall ap
pear. Chairman Ayer has issued from
the Populist headquarters an ad
dress to the voters of. the State,
advising them how to vote.
