THE SCR ANTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY MORNING-,- AUGUST Ml. 1896. THE POPULISTS ARE IN DEAD EARNEST rbey Will Live Up to the Fusion Under Proper Conditions. BUT WATSON MUST BE RECOGNIZED The Democrat Must Work for the Southern Oratorical Cyclone or the , Hoy Orator Will Be Knifed by the M hiskcrs Coiitingcr.tMr. Sutler's Opinion of C'ockran. Washington, Au.fr. 20. "There ap pears to bo an Intimation of some of the newspapers that the decision of our committee with respect to fusion is not sincere and that we Uo not intend to live up to It," said Chairman Marlon Butler of the Populist committee today. "The statement of last niRlit was made after a careful consideration of the whole subject und we mean exactly what It says. The national executive committee will not approve any fusion In any of the states that gives the Populists simply the state ticket and the Democrats the whole electoral tick et. There must be Just as zealous work done for the candidacy of Mr Watson as there is for Mr. Bryan and the ef forts put forth In behalf of Mr. Bryan muut be as loyal as those exerted for Mr. Watson. There Is no reuson what ever why we cannot work In harmony with the Democratic party In this re spect for we both have the same head to our ticket, and are both earnest in our efforts to secure the free and un limited coinage of silver. Of course In those states where the two parties are pretty evenly divided and where we can defeat the Republicans and carry the electoral vote for Bryan only by merging our Interests, common sense suggests that we agree upon a division of the electors. But even In that case there will be no trading of votes by the Populists. The statement lias no unhidden meaning. It is quite plain." Senator Butler discussed the speech of Mr. Bnurke Cockran at some length this morning and was quite caustic in some of his comment.1?. "That speech," said he, "will be a boomerang. Cock ran and the gold Democrats are the allies of the Republicans and Mr. Hanna in this light. Mr. Hanna Is trying to switch the financial question and makes the tariff the Issue. His efforts are as desperate and fanatical as those of Cockran nnd the gold Democrats. The Intelligence of the masses Is so great that both are doomed to fall. Cockran's speech is a good background for that of Mr. Bryan. It has only helped to emphasize Mr. Bryan's truths In the minds of the people." How does Bryan's New York speech compare with that made by him before the Chicago convention?" Mr. Butler was asked. "The Chicago speech was a master piece of soul-stirring oratory. Prob ably no man living could have done better for that occasion. Tne New York speech was a masterpiece of convincing and unanswerable logic. It is almost impossible to conceive of a speech more effective and appropriate for that occa sion." DEATH OF FLORA F1NLAYS0N. Popular as a Comic Opera C'outralto With the llostoiiinns.

Special to the Scranton Tribune. Susquehanna, Aug. 20. --Susquehanna hes had another lively racket with the marauding, plundering tramp.

He made his way to town and Informed the authorities of his mis hap.

They were held to await the action of the grand jury, and in default of bail were committed to the Montrose Jail. The young Syrian will be held as a wit ness agHinst the gang. THE SNAKE AT SCHOOL. A few mornings since a vicinity school teacher had a lively experience. Soon after the school was called to order she heard a low, rattling, buzzing noise, and upon opening the drawer to the desk she was horrified to see a large rattlesnake slowly uncoil and crawl out upon the top of the de.sk. The young er children screamed and ran out of doors, and Fcveral of the older boys hurriedly looked about for clubs with which to dispatch the Intruder. The plucky little teacher at once grasped the fire poker, and, with a well-directed blow, killed the reptile. Then she swooned. The school was dismissed for the day. How the snake ftucci-eded In getting into the desk Is still an unanswered conundrum. LITTLE LOCALETTES.

Grow, It Is exported, will deliver an address in Susquehanna during the campaign. Some years since, he used to sound the bugle note of the canuiaign, while othlT people took the oflices.

MIXED UP. A ITa'.lstiad mother is the hoppy pos sessor of twin daughters, who arc us much alike as two peas. One nlcht re cently she heard a succession of gig gles fiom the vicinity of the twin's ted. "What are you laughing at?" she asked.

Bre'r Haines will be promised a cabinet position as soon as he decides where "he is at." Benjamin, come off the fence! VARIOUS MATTERS. One of the annoying things about party politics Is the necessity of occa sionally climbing into some other fel low's band wagon. What this country needs more than anything else just at present is free coinage of confidence and good com mon sense. It Is rumored that as soon as the Mormon elders are ousted out of Arch bald they will exodust to Susquehanna. They will receive such a reception as they deserve. There will be an eclipse of the moon on Sunday morning, visible In nil parts of the United States, Including Wayne county. There will be a total eclipse of the Topocratlc party in November, visible all over the world. WAYSIDE GLEANINGS.

A case almost surpassing credulity has devel oped here by the return of William Chambers after an absence of forty seven years. In the spring of W49 Chambers, then a young man, left his wife, a bride of fifteen months, and one child, a babe in the cradle, to seek his fortune on the Pacific coast. He took up a claim and letters to his wife told of the wealth he was accumulating. He was gone a year when the letters stop ped. The wife still dung to the hope that he would return, but months lapsed Into years and still Chambers was nbsent. Flft jen years from the time Cham bers leit Jti'ltuna Mrs. Chiirib-!rs was ar j'.a married and live th.ldrm were h ii:. ni of whom ur.' l'vlui:. Jl'.r sec o.id lupbar.U'H name wa. W.i'.ki? and he lived until 1S91. Yesterday Chambers, aged S9, his figure bowed with the weight of years, returned home. He did not expect to find his wife, but It was to learn her fate and to locate the whereabouts of the child, who had grown to manhood, that he left Cali fornia, where his fortunje had been made. Chambers rays that the success on which he had first calculated did not materialize. He became fllscouiaged, nnd fearful that the news of his failure would be a crushing blow to his wife he ceased to write her. When the time came that a fortune was within his grasp word came that she had died of a broken heart. He gave up his life to the pursuit of wealth, hoping that his fortune would become the Inheritance of his only son, of whose whereabouts he was also ignorant. The long-separated couple will again live together. . FREE TRADER FOR M'KINLEY. View of U. A. MncBelli, the Klwood Flint Glnsi Manufacture r. nttsburg. Aug. 20. George A. Mac Beth of Pittsburg, owner of the big Hint glass factory at Elwood, Ind., has declared for Major McKlnley. He has always been a free trade Democrat. He says that to promote commerce "we must have stability of conditions on the essential question of sound fin ances. The adoption of free coinage would bring about more misery than any nation has been subjected to with in the century." CHIROPODIST AND MANICURE.
