What Is Hon. Thomas 'E. Watson
going to : do? - Does -he intend to
draw from the national ticket as
a caXP'date lor vice President or
will heVun on to the end? ;
Mr. Watson talks in enigmas' and
. very w or inem at mat. more can
" be ascertained from 'what he does
. not say than from his laconio utter
ances. He is playing a' game and he
? is looking ahead just four years. "He
sees no chance of winning this year,
..: but fie is getting in position to .shoot
in IVW, , V a. . . '
"; The 'Vice-Presidential nominee
from Georgia is . not saying much,
but he is mighty busy on the pollti-
cal wood pile. And there : will .be
reworks among the Populists in
. th years to come, and Senator Ma
' rlon Butler, Allen at.d4he rest of
V them nave due notice, and it is their
own fault if they do not act accord
Ingly. M
There is going to be the biggest
kind of a 'split in thePopulist ranks.
It almost ame at St, Louis?" The
' westerners wemted to indorse Bryan
nd Sewall. I The Southerners want
ed aticket exclusively their o wn.

threatened, the middle of the road
- men declaring, that they would bolt
before they would; indorse Bryan
and. Sewall. Marion Butler, of North
Carolina, said that he would walk
put of the convention with his ninety'
votes unless' a Southern man was
placed on the nationalticket.; He
wanted a North Carolina Populist"
,Iedr,Dut tne ueorgians uia
some clever political work and they
made the convention come to Tom
Watson, of the county of McDuffie.
. That was a bitter pill to1 the
' Western Topulists, but the accept
ed the sitnation and the convention
adjourned. , Now he Watsonians
, charge that there was a cabal formed
: against the Georgian and that treacb-
- ery1 began at the very hour of the
nomination7 They say, too, that the
- ' treachery has never ceased for amo-
ment, but that on the other hand it
: has grownpand taken the leaders
who ; were originally -middle, of the
readers. They intimate too that there
is some truth in the - joke about cer-
tain Populists being in the middle of
the road, because thatis the place to
get the dustT The reasoa that the
. Western tnen were for Bryan and
Sewall from the- start is apparent.
In the West the Populists are num-
1 erically strong and they were willing
" to give their votes- toDemocratic
- electors if they could get in exchange
" Democratic votes for themselves for
V,the State offices, .--Hera in the SouthJ
the Populists are -in the; . minority,.
- hence their desire? to get a share of
i the electors- The Populist knew
f tbat-the Democrats would not fuse
'. on the local offices'' and without fa
i sion there could be no fruition, Mr.
'Watson's tmly chance was'in the
hands of Marion-Butler, Allen and
-i- the other leaders who were expected
y by Mr. Watson to staud up by him
and demand good terms for him in
the States Which the Populists con
trolled But when it came to. agree
lng upon, a trade, there Were thoust
v ands of officer hungry Populists who
demanded - that in the ' trading it
"should be expressly stipulated Sin
- the bond that the Democrats would
vote for the Populists in ' the State
and county elections, white.the Pop-
ulists would, vote for the Bryan and
- Sewall electors. , ' ' ' V
v Mr. Watson calls it treachery.' He
" says that he has been traded off for
everything from governor down to
coroner. They ' just sjvapped " him
around like boys trading knives and
be is sore over it He is going to
get even, too, or try, it, and he will
devote the: next four year assidu
ously to the contract.'- The populist
politicians having, thrown him over
board, Mr. Watson is getting things
in shape to unload the politician; He
is playing to stand in with the mas.
ses of his party for there are masses
and classes in the populist party,
' too. Thomas E. Watson sees in his
mind a time coining "when the popu
list party or what t emalns of it will
be flocking around him with Butler
and his conferees' flocking by them
selves. ' A bitter fight is on between
the two factions' i Butler, who" was
an original middle pf the road popu
list, has gone over to the fusionists
and it remains to be seen which side
will whip. "it. A

Populist' organization had become
strained. "Major Guthrie said today
that the ; relations between him

he was standing square on; i he
Populist platform aj making noth
ing but straight Populist speeches.
i'l am trying to teach the JSepubll-
cans and Democrats the error of
their wiy" heaid.-

between i himself and Maj.-; Guthrie
are pot strained but on the other
hand are very cordial. . "

The Greatest Boy Grapper Town Cap
turedHe Turned Statee' Evedencc -Mayor
Rnss Imposed a roalt Fine
and Let Them
"Come seben eleben, one cent or
two, say quick here they go. "
Officer Creighton was in hiding
behind a shanty with1 his eagle eye
rfvjted on a nest of colored youths
who were having a high, old time -in
the midst of an excitingvgwne of the
seductive and" fascinating trap, and
that was wbat he heard,' . The scene
of the game was under a water tank
beyond the bowery.-- The' time was
Sunday afternoon, whea many of the
.better boys of Raleigh jwere telling
what they knew about ijbeir Sunday
school lessons. -g
Officer Creighton stood by the
shanty and chuckled to" himself over
the easy thing he bad walked into.
He heard the lads in their expres
sions of approval and disapproval,
spiced with favorite craji ;;. ings of
the bowery ,as they woBmd lost jack
pots. But officer Creighton only saw
heads. He could not;'''discern the
swing of the arm that threw the dice,
nor the arms of the lucky fellow that
raked in th dough and $e was pow
erless to secure evidenced
So the officer darted Trtoni his hid
ing place right in the presence of the
crappers. Thero they Were arrr.tiged
around a hole, tossing ,ihe dice for
Mownies. - s4
The three principal offehders were
off like deerS, but Mri'Creil.tou
corralled fnur of thejfhinocents.
These ho ltd up the streets yester
day with countless.-; numbers of
urchins following in their wake.
In the Mayor s court these youth
ful crappers were arranged this
morning. Lewis-Spencer, an elongat
ed specimen of the black race with a
foot and a half coconut? head set off
at one end with a growth of scraggy
beard, could tell a lot ftijput the con
nection of other boys wnfi' tfie game,
but as' to Spencer himself, he was
only a looker on in Venice. - Henry
Watson, who used a wooden leg,
Johnson Davis, a very youthful
mulato,and Daniel Brown, known as
"Jocko, the old luck bag" on the
bowery, the champion of all the
shooters of crap, were the other de
fendants. Daniel Brown was the first of the
prodigals to take the stand. Daniel
is a little bit of a coal black nigger
and his skin shines like ebony. A
couple of dog wood blossom eyes
rolled suspiciously "from Daniels
head, as he gazed at his comrades
against whom he had turned states
evidence. Daniel breathed loud,
and deeply. He was scared. -
Daniel told his story. OI course
he was innocent. He simply stood
in the corner with his arms folded,
and his testimony was substantiat
ed by officer Creighton -
"There's the main man, Ujougn,
Daniel said, pointing to Johnson
Davis,
' What have you to say to that,
Davis?" queried Mayor Russ.
"I wanter know wont you shoot
ing craps, "asked Davis of Daniel.
"No, I was jest a-lookin at you,
promptly spoke out Daniel. . .
Daniel then gave an imitation of
Johnson's peculiar arm motion in
throwing the d'oe, which pleased
the cdurt very much. ,
"Where was I at when tbe police
man come?" asked Johnson of the
witness. V',".
"Down on your knees shooting
craps. -Uke not to Deen aoie to got
up after be got dere, spone uamei.
The latter in explaining the "scien
tific points of the game said that on
the Bowery it was called Sunday
school meeting, but anyhow.it was
shooting craps. ' Cj''-'?'S
Henry Watson was the next wit
ness. He too, bad no. money and
was just watching the game. Mayor
Buss had to fall back on his witness
to get any evidence against Watson.
"Did you see this fellow shoot any
the Mayor asked. -'.' v.;' :"'-?
' 'Yes sir-r-r. " he shot, ' Daniel
stuttered out ' . : ' ' ; -
In reply to this Watson said that
Daniel did most of the shooting and
won all toe money. -, rue s got
pocket full of brownies and nickel?
ses. You ain't searched him no
now. - He's de biggest crap shooter
in town. Makes hislivlngdat way.
ocko, old
luck bag."
On account of the youth of the of
fenders and an unwillingnessto keep
them in jail until January to await
court, Mayor Russ imposed a small
fine on the boys and let them go. He
gave them all a lecture coupled with
much sound advice.
THANKS THE POPULISTS.
Mr. Bryan's Formal Acceptance of the St.
Louis Nomination.
St. Louis, Oct. 5. Wm- J. Bryan
has given out his letter accepting
the Populist nomination. It reads
as follows: '
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 3, 1896.
Hon. Wm. Allen, Chairman, and
others, Members of the Notifica
tion Committee 'of the People's
, party: r t . . . v
' Gentlemen: The nomination of the
People's party for the presidency of
the United States, has been tendered
me in a spirit and upon such honor
able terms that I am able to accept
the same' without parting frcm the
platform adopted by the national
convention at Chicago, I appreciate
the breadth of patriotism which has
actuated the members of thePeople's
party, who, in order to conciliate the
sentiment in favor of bi metallism,
have been willing to go outside of
party lines and support as their can
didate one already named by the
Democratic and also by the Silver
party. I also appreciate the fact
that while during the years since
1873 a large majority of the Demo
cratic party and a considerable min
ority of the Republican party have
been consistent advocates of the free
coinage silver: at the present ratio,
yet since the organization of the
People's party its members have
unanimously supported such coin
age as the only means of restoring
bi-mctallism. By persistently point
ing out the disastrous effects of
a gold stanoard anu protest
ing against each successive step
towards. financial bondage, thePeo
ple's party has exerted an import
ant influence in awakening tbe pub
lic to a realization of the nation's
political peril. In a time like this,
when a great political party is at
tempting to surrender the right to
legislate for ourselves and is seek
ing to bind the American people to a
foreign monetary system, it be
hooves'us as" loVers of our country
and friends of American instutions
to lay aside for the present such dif
ferences as may exist among us on
minor questions, in order that our
strength may be united in a supreme
effort to wrest the government from
the hands of those who imagine th&t
the nation's finances are only secure
when controlled by a few financiers,
and that national honor can only be
maintained by giving acquiescence
in any policy, however destructive
to the interests of the people of the
United States, which foreign credi
tors, present or prospective, may
desire to force upon us. It is a
cause of congratulation that we have
in this campaign not only the sup
port of Democrats, Populists and
Republicans, who have all along be
lieved in independent bi-metallism,
but also the active co-operation of
those Democrats and Republicans,
who, heretofore waiting for interna
tional bi-metallism, now join with us
rather than trust the destinies of the
nation in the hands of those who are
holding out the delusive hope of
foreign aid, while they labor seretly
for the permanent establishment of
the gold standard.
While differences have always
arisen in the settlement in default of
any plan of co-operation between
distinct political organizations, I am
sure that the advocates of bi-metallism
are so intensely in earnest that
they will be able to devise ome
means by which the free silver
strength may be concentrated upon
one electoral ticket at least To se
cure this result charity towards the
opinion of others, and liberality on
the part of all, is necessary, but hon
est and sincere friends who are work
ing towards a common result always
find it possible to agree upon just
and equitabletcrms. The American
people have "proven equal to every
emergency which has arisen in the
past and I' am confident will be
no antagonism between the various
regiments of the one great army
which is marching to repeal an inva
sion more dangerous to our welfare
than an army with banners. -
- Acknowledging, with gratitude,
your exposition of confidence and
goodwill,
I am very truly yours,
. " Wm. J, Bryan.

AGAINST I REDUCTION,
Railway Officials Appeared Before the
Commissioners Today.
Prominent Railway officials of
several Southern systems appear
ed before the Railway Commission
today in support of their argument
against a reduction o passenger
rates in this State.
The Southern Railway was repre
sented by Col. A. B. Andrews, First
Vice President; Mr W. W. Finley,
Second Vice 'President; Mr. J. M.
Culp, Traffic Manager; Col W A
Turk, General Passenger Agent;
Col W A Henderson, Assistant Gen
eral Counsel, and Mr F H Busbee.,.
The Atlantic Coast Line was rep
resented by Mr. - T. M. Emerson,
General Traffic Manager.
Messrs. MacRae and Day and Mr.
J . B. Batchelor appeared in behalf
of tbe Seaboard Air Line.
- The Atlantic and North Carolina
Railroad was represented by Mr. L
S. Dill, and theC. F. & Y. V. by Mr.
J. M. Rose, General Counsel and
Mr-. Kyle, Passenger Agent and
Judge MacRae.
Representatives of each of the dif
ferent systems appeared before the
Commission, arguring against a re
duction. It was contended that the
reduction of the passenger rates a
quarter of a cent would be injurous
to the railroads. It was pointed out
that tbe rate per mile in operation at
present in North Carolina was the
lowest in any other Southern Stute,
and that it was equally as low as
many of those in New England.
In the matter of the reduction of
the express rate on the Atlantic &
North Carolina Railway, an order
was issued by the commission that
on and after November first the
special rate in operatipn should be
revoked and the tariff as now apply
ing to the other roads be put in effect.
This is a reduction of 50 per cent,
in rates.
The rate for the transportation of
money on the same road was reduced
from 75 to 50 cents per thousand, at
the request of the Bank of Newbern.
The commission will not render a
decision in the matter of reduction
of rates for some days. Commis
sioner Beddingfield was absent to
day and it will be necessary for him
to review the testimony.
