FUSION II GUI FAILS !
Democrats Refuse to Accert the Popu
lists' rroposl lions.
THEY WANTED TO IGNORE SEWALL
And to This tlio Demoarats Would Not
Submit Tom Watson Looking for "Vin
dication" Ho Would Not Accept a
Cabinet Position If Tendered.
Atlanta, ' Go., Oct. 21. After n pro
tracted mitt oxcltlng dolxito tho Domo
crntlo cnniinlttco yesterday rejectod tho
Populist fusion proposition, declaring It
to bo Insulting to tlio Democrats in Its
wording. It 1r hold thnt tho stnto com
mltteo has no rifiht to tnko down tho
Democratic electors, ns demanded by tho
Populists. Tho Domocratlo resolution re
fusing fusion is ns follows:
"Hesolved, Thnt tho Populist committee,
having made a proposition which com
pletely ignores fusion by eliminating en
tirely tho candldncy of tlio Democratic
nomlnco for vlco president, Mr. bewail,
and has cut off tho Democratic conunlttro
from further consideration of the rpiestion
by offering an arbitrary limit, giving this
commlttco no opportunity for considera
tion of a movement for proper fusion;
therefore, Ira it
"Itesolvcd. That tho chairman of this
committee appoint a committee of five, of
which ho shall bo chairman, to properly
present to tho public tho attitude of this
committee on tho refusal to accept the un
reasonable and unjust ultimatum of tho
Populist commlttco, clothed ns it is in
offenslvo and unbecoming language."
Tho ultimatum of tho Populist central
committee, to which those resolutions
were Intended as a reply, was lu part as
follows :
"Tho Peoplo's party of Georgia accepted
in good faith tho St. Louis comprdml-o,
viz. : Tho nomination of Hon. W. .1.
Bryan as tho presidential candidate on tho
tho ticket with tho Hon. Thomas K. Wnt
son, with tho tnelt understanding thnt
this act of patriotism on their part would
bo met with a similar one on tho pnrt of
tho Democratic party In tho withdrawal
of Mr. Sowall and effect a complete com
bination of tho sliver forces. Tho Peoplo's
party of Georgln, lu accord with said un
derstanding, provided a joint electoral
ticket.
"It Is our bolief that it is not only tho
intention of tho loaders of tho Democratic
party of tho state to defeat, but if possible
humlllatotho Hon. Thomas V.. Watson,
cither by a corrupt ballot, ns has been
manifested in tho Tenth congressional
district, or by a partisan legislature set
ting aside tho will of tho people and forc
ing Hryan and Sewall electors on the state,
even though that ticket should run third
In tho election.
"As a ilnal olTort to sccuro tho union of
tho sllvor forces, to which tho Democratic
party is committed, and to tost tho patriot
ism of our professed allies, wo do now with
draw seven electors and insist that tho
Democratic party of Georgia withdraw six
of their electors, substituting tho remain
ing six Populist electors, with tho under
standing that tho thirteen shall cast their
votofor Bryan and Watson."
Thoabovo, which was in tho form of a
set of resolutions, closes with a demand
for Its acceptnnco within flvo days, fulling
In which tho Populists threaten "to con
contrato ovory olfort on tho election of our
congressional nomlnoos," and retaining
thoir prosidontial doctors.
Thero was a buzz following tho reading
of tho Populist proposition, which indi
cated strong disapproval of it. Tho
speeches wero all against it. In fact, tho
resolution refusing tho Populistio propo
sition was offered by nono other than
Chairman Jones' personal roprcsentntlvo,
who favored it on Monday, but who yos
torday claimed that ho had boon undor a
misapprehension as to what tho Populists
wanted. Ho sold ho had no idea whon ho
camo down hero at tho suggestion of
Chairman Jones that the Populists wanted
thirteen electors for Watson. Ho thought
that tnoy would propose somo fair dl
vision which would not totally lgnoro tho
candidacy of bewail.
It was qulto ovldont thnt tho committee
regnrdou tho proposition as propostorous,
and that about tho only thing loft for dis
cussion was as to tho character of tho re
ply to bo sont to tho Populists whothor it
should bo pollto and conciliatory or plain
and to tho point,
Tho commlttco adopted a resolution
calling for a stato convention to bo hold
in Atlanta on Nov. 20 to select four Dem
ocratic candidates for vacant places on tho
6upromo court bench. Tho dologatos to
this convention aro to bo selected on Nov.
U, olthor by primary or mass meeting, in
tho discretion of the various county com
mittees. Atlanta was selected ovor Macon
us tlio convention city hy a vote of 31 to 5.
TOM WATSON'S ATTITUDE.
Sir. Washburn Hnys Ho Would Nut Accept
u Cabinet Position,
Ciiicaoo, uct. 21. Georgo F. Wash
burn, of tho Populist national executive
committee, arrived hero unexpectedly last
evening from Thomson ami Atlanta, Uu.,
where ho and Committeeman II. W. I loud
had boon in conforonco with Mr. Watson,
Populist vlco presidential nominee.
it Is statod on good authority thnt Mr.
Washburn returned so suddenly for tho
purpose of conforrlng with Chairman
Jones, of tho Domocrntlo nutlonal com
mlttco, and to place beforo him in tho
form of nn ultimatum two or threo prop
ositions from Mr. Watson looking to tho
hitter's recognition on tho fusion ticket in
tho different states. Tho two woro In con
ference lute last night, but nothing was
given out
In dUoussing Watson's attitude Mr.
Washburn said:
"In tho prosont campaign Mr. Watson
appreciates tho nocessity of making such
nrrangomentH as will unite tho sllvor
forcos. Ho wants Hryan oloctod and Mc
Klnloy defeated, but toacoompllsh this ho
thinks thoro must bo an honorable union
of forces rather than a surrondor, and that
his party must bo recognized in this fight
or tho fusion urrangomonts In tho differ-
nit states will notUemtltrWl hy tne pen
plo Bt tlio polls. Ho dovn.inds recognition
nml vindication, or he will light."
"If ho cannot bo vice president, would
he accept ii cabinet posltnonV'
"No, ho would not If It were tendered
him. Ho Is nnxlous that his party should
como out of this contest In a iimnner
which will relloot honor uion It, ami ho
will enter actively Into tlio campaign for
the election of Ilrynn If such arrangement
con Ijo mndo as will satisfy his people."
