:( WATSON'S WARNING,,
He .Says the St. LodU Contract Most be
." ; Carried Out. 4.;."-;:
Thomas Watson, the Populist can.
didate for VicePresident, telegraphs
to the New York World a view, of
the political situation, in which,; In
conclusion, he says: "Under present
condiditions Mrt Bryah cannot get
the. full Populist vote.' He cannot
get it in Kansas . or Colorado.;' He
cannot get it in North Carolina or
Nebraska. f - "
."in the friendliest spirit 1 give
Chairman Jones this warning- .He
will make the blunder of his life, if
he listens to the fusion leaders and
believes'that a full Populist-vote can
be had for Bryan with Sewall on tho
flpket.-.' , J .
f Populist voters are men 'who
have educated themselves on politi
cal topics.- Thfey will not stultify
themselves by voting against their
ronvictlou::Thef will not vote lor
a man who, if Mr. Bryan dies, will
make us another President after the
fashion of Grover Cleveland. . They
may not bo able to 'break . up the
fusion deal, but they can' stay at
home..- , v 4 ;
"The contract made at St. Louis
for '-. a united t Democratic-Populist
ticket shqiilij -y carried out in good
faith. Democraticjnanagers should
not'expecj to hold us to it when they
ignore Vi themsel vcs. vl; ' Z '
v "It MeKinley is elected, -the Re
sponsibility will forever rest upon
those managers who had ife in their
power to control by fair means 2,000,i
000 votes and who lost them by vio
lating the terms of the compact. J .
"Jhe writer of this has stood loy
ally by Mr. ; Bryan-throughout the
campaign and-will continue to do so,
and jt is out of a sincere dcsireto
see him elected that bo points gut
tho weak place in our lines in time
for it .to be V Strengthened.! M ft
Chairman Jones can do it,'ls under
implied contract to do it, and should,
for Mr. Bryan's sake, lose no time
in doing it" 1 ,
Mr. Watson says that Mr. Bryan
acted -honorably in the negotiations
with the Populists at the St Louis
Convention iii telegraphing Senator
Jdnes that he would not accept a
Populist , nomination unless ' Mr.
Sewall -'were also -nominated, . and
adds; : , .A V v 'r .
"Senator , Jones concealed : this
telegram,'-allowed the Populists to
remainiq ignorance of iUi. Bryan's
position and permitted the nomina
tion of Bryan and Watson without,
protest - His silence, his failure to,
undeceive the Populists,' .operated
as an injustice to them. They went
forward and nominated Mr. Bryan
in the belief that the Democrats
would meet them on halfway ground,
withdraw Mr. Sewall and unite the
silver forces of poth parties by nam
ing a representative of both on the
national ticket . "
''It the Democratic managers bad
recognized the necessary conditions
to complete political .union and ac
cepted the compromise we offered
the fight would now be won. Instead
of meeting the : Populists halfway
and making them feel a hearty in
terest in Democratic success they
did everything possible to dissatisfy
discourage and arouse thesuspicions
rf the very men whose votes ' were
essential to victory. Intent upon de
stroying Populism at the'Soulh and
absorbing it at the west, the Demo
cratic managers made the mistake of
supposing that apy deal 4hey" could
arrange with our 'leaders would be
cheerfully' supported by 'the ..rank
and file. ' '"'
"From the county ticket clear on up
to the Presidency the sciencO of pol
itics has been reduced to the good
old business rule of 'how much have
you got' and what will ' you take.'
It is hardly necessary . to. 'say that
where the bargain counter rules the
roost in this hilarious way principles
are somewhat neglected and" Under
valued. In Ftates like Indiana and
Illinois, where Populists are in the
minority, they got a minority of
electors. - In States like Kansas and
Colorodo, where the Populists are in
a majority they get no electors at all
In one State of the greataud glorious
Union the fusion goes half the dis
tance between Populists and Repub
licans and the other half between
Populist-; and Democrats. -K'
"As a grave-digger for Populism,
fusion with Sewall on the ticket may
as well bo recoized as a distinct
success. If ' not disturbed in his
work, the digger will have the hole
ready by the time the funeral pro
cession arrives. Tho menace, that
endangers Mr. Bryau's success to
day is the profound dissatisfaction
which exists among 'the humble,
honest, earnest Populists who have
built up tho reoplo party.
"This is not suiJ in any threaten
ing spirit and antagonism.-' Every
where I have advised our people to
stand loyally to the support- of Mr,
Bryan, though little credit is given
me for having done so. No Demo
cratic paper has given me the slight-
est credit for refusing Republican
fusion in Georgia and combating it
In Texas. With one accord thcBry
an and Sewall papers rtave given me
nothing but- disparagement, . mis
representation -and ridicule. . How
much good they hoped ' to do Mr.
Bryan by adopting this line of policy
I: cannot see.' - Ordinarily abuse
heaped upon me might offend no one
but the recipient, but that editor
who cannot see that in this campaign
insults to me are insults to the party,
whose help Mr."Bryan must have, is
a very blind editor. -
"I roSDectfullv warn Mr. Chair
man Jones of the danger Mr. Bryan
is in. The Populist ' voters are dis
satisfied and suspicious.: : They feel
instinctively that the fusion policy
which compels them to vote for Sffw
all is the beginning of theTend of the
People's party.? Thcy feel that the
principles they love are being used
as political merchandiser and that
the Populist vote is being auctioned
off to the highest bidder. They sus
pect that Populism has been bought
and paid for, and is now being de
livered to those whoboughtit -
"Is the full Populist vote necessary
to Mr; Bryan 's election? If so, the
sooner Mr.. Jones realizes that it
cannot be had jinder any arrange
ment which compels thcPopulists to
make a humiliatiug 'surrender of
their principles in voting for Sewall
electors, the better it will be for our
campaign. -
TO FIGHT GUTHRIE.
Biblical Hocordor Takes Up His Alleged
Statement About Beptlats. - f .
This week the Biblical Recorder
takes up Its fight against Maj.
Guthrio for a statement reflecting
upon the', Baptist denomination,
Which the; - lato." Dr. , Pritchard
charged him with . making, but
which Maj. Guthrie denies, -
Tho Recorder says: - tw
It is far from our aim to interfere
with any party. The readers pf
these columns know that we are in
dependent." If" any man ? reflects
upon "the, Baptist people of these
cburohes, it any 'man reflects upon
the principals for which they con
tend, whether he is a oandidate or
not, the Recorder, cannot be true to
the people who support it, cannot
be true to. the Uonventaon of wnicn
it is the organ, cannot be true to its
callingt and ba silent .; The time
eomes when the Recorder must not
count the cost. ; . w: -..
Dr, Pritchard,. who-with Maj,
Guthrie attended a banquet at the
University in June, 1895, wrote of
the occasion in an account to Charity
and children,': the organ of the or
phanage as follows :
. ;"The addresses-., were generally
good, arid in , excellent spirit and
taste; but there was one which to
me personally was ' offensive and
eertainly 'not calculated to do any
good. That ..was the speech of W,
A. Guthrie on the University ana
the church. . He charged that the
Baptists Who, opposed; State-aid lo
higher schools of learning weto
enemies to the University and
sought to destroy it and that they
were traitorgrtb their country and
their God. ; ' " -J x' . , , i
Desiring to be fairuwesenta copy
of the latter" part -of this paragrpah
to Mf. Gutbcle, before he was nomi
nated. He 'denied it 'in 4 private
letter and also in the newspapers,
in the latter suggesting that we had
a low motive in bringing the. matter
out - " " ' - ... X
Dr. Pr-itchard -cannotj speak now.
But he would not have written if
he had not known. It ill becomes a
man who would lead the people-, to
contradict the statement of a minis
ter of God after. Jio is dead when" he
had several months in which to con
tradict it when he was. living and
could speak for hunself". " The State
ment had been in print several-
months -while. Dr. Tritcbard was
alive; itwas la print' more than a
year before Mr. Guthrie detiipd it
If further evidence than the word of
a man known and . respected: and
loved by the people of this. State for
more than twenty-flyo year's were
needed, we could cite -the fact, that
there was no denial until it became
a matter' of personal interest; and
further, tho fact that the" statement
has been confirmed by others; and
further, 'the fact that a beloved mitt;
ister in this State-is now ready to
affirm that in a converoation after
the account was printed in Charity
and Children Dr.. Pritchard reiter
ated the statement in his presence!
The denial, the insinuation as to our
"Vnotive has been made; and ,may be
made oain. ' - ' .

GONE TO WINSTON.
W. Graham to Apply for Mandamus
That Gentleman not a Republican.
Mr. John W. Graham arrived in
the oity last evening in response to
telegram from Chairman Holton.
Mr. Graham came here to prepare
the papers in the application for
mandamus relative to the Winston
registrars,' whom Chairman Holton
accuses of using dilatory tactics in
order to keep republicans from
registering. Mr. ' Graham and
Mr; Holton were in consultation
some time and today Mr1. Graham left
for Winston where he will complete
the papers before making applica
tion. - " '
Chairman Manly says Mr. Hol
ton 's- apprehensions are wholly
groundless and that every man entit
led to be registered will bo given
full opportunity to do so.
Mr. Holton asserts ' that the men
who were detained Saturday are old
residents of Winston and by all
means entitled to register.
It was slated today .that Maj. Jno.
W. Graham had identified himself
with the Republican party. This, it
seems j is not true. Mr. Graham will
not Support Bryan, but it is said
will support the balance of the ticket
.Mr. Graham, has been retained by
Chairman Holton to appear for the
Republican committee when Ms ser
vices are needed. : : " -' : .

Governor. Carr received a request
from J. R. Young, Chairman of the
Board .County - Commissioners of
Vance county - for troops to protect
two prisoners confined in the jail.
The Vance Guard were detailed to
guard the jail.' -,
This morning Adjutant General
Cameron" received a telegram froni
Commander Jones, of the Guard
stating that all was quiet and no
further disturbance was anticipated.
Tho presence of .the militia no doubt
bad a salutory effect
There were rumors oh a lynching
party ting organized in Henderson
yesterday for the purpose of taking
the two murderers from the jail.
The talk was heard on all the streets
and the authorities deemed itproper
to have sufficient protection in the
event of anything of the kind.
The indignation of the people is
the result of a brutal murder of a
young white girl by two colored
men.
The young white woman, only 17
years or age was- tne mother of a
4-month 'sold illegitimate child. Her
name was Faulkner and she lived
six miles from towu. Two negroes
went to her house and demanded
admission. They were ordered to
leave, but wentin, attacked her with
an axe and split her skull in five
places. They also nearly cut off her
arms.
When found the little child was
clinging to the lifeless body, grue
some with its clothes covered with
the blood of its mother. The villians
who committed the crime were
quickly traced and they were iden
tified by the blood found on their
clothes. One of them has confessed.
