From Maine.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 7. Thomas E.
Watson opened his yice-presldential
. campaign here last night with an ad
drees of two hoars' length, delivered be
fore an audience of 3,000 people in a
rough shed nsed for the Moody, revival
meetings several months ago. Watson
' appealed at the outset for a non-partisan
hearing, declaring that he spoke with
bitterness to none and in behalf of the
men who held the plow, who pulled the
hook, who wielded the hammer. If
God gave him strength, he declared, he
would plead the cause of these people
through the pens of the Northern re
porters present, before 65,000,000 of peo
pie in the morning. '
'We can stand by Mr. Bryan," said
he. "He has been with us and fought
for onr policies. But when we are
asked to swallow Sewall, we beg to to be
execused. We cannot vote for Sewall
because he does not represent our plat
form. If we do we sav we did not
' moan what we said in the platform.
You cannot consistently say this is a
fight of the West and South and go off
to Maine to get a candidate for vice
president. This is a movement of the
South and West and you niUBt .have a
Southerner on your national ticket."
In conclusion Watson made this sig
nificant statement.
' "We are not going to put op a candi
date againBt Bryan. . We are going to
vote for Bryan whether Sewall is with
drawn or not. ' Let Mr. Jones say what
he likes. ' Let him insult yon if he will.
Make no answer. ' We are going to put
out a full electoral ticket for Bryan and
'Watson.' We can't vote for Sewall." '
The Sewall-Watson Muddle.
Chicago, Aug. 7. The Times-Herald
says : There is a light on between Gov

the Democratic national committee.
Governor Altgeld holds Chairman Jones
personally responsible for the Sewall
Watson muddle and is of ' the opinion
that if the Arkansas senator had re
mained away from St. Louis matters
would have adjusted themselves in much
better shape.

alleged wrongdoings of the organization,
discusses the political character of Mr.
Gibbs, who is the personal represents

the methods adopted by the organiza
tion in the last election, and declares:
"We are convinced that Mr. Gibbs
has not only been exceedingly active in
his opposition to the interests of Mc-

' Chicago, a 10. A little before
'midnight last night Bryan resumed bis
journey to New York over the Pennsyl
vania Central. At all the stations, not
withstanding the early hour, large
crowds gathered and gave hini an en
thusiastic reception. The people climbed
over and under the cars with the ut
most recklessness in their zeal to get
near the car platform. At most of the
stops Bryan made a few remarks.
NO KEST FOR H'KI.MKV.
A QUIET SATURDAY.
Reported
Nebraska and South. Dakota
Safe for McKinley.
Washington, Aug. 8. It was very
quiet at both the Republican and Demo
cratic headquarters today. The lack of
visitors is attributed to the extreme
heat. The. mail, however, continues
heavy, and the demand for literature
from both committees is enormous.
Letters received at the Republican head
quarters from Nebraska say that Bryan's
state is safe for McKinley, and from
South Dakota the information - received
indicates that the Republican majority
will be increased rather than diminished.
Secretary Mercer, of the Republican
congressional committee, went to Atlan
tic City today to spend Sunday with his
family. The chairman of the Demo
cratic committee has gone to Frostburg,
Md., to remain with his family over Snn
day. He will go to New. York Monday.
At silver headquarters the eecretarv
says abdbt 1G00 letters are received daily,
fully one-fourth from former Republi
cans, who say they cannot support the
gold declaration in the St. Louis plat
form. '
A visitor there today predicted that
much of the soldier vote would .go for
the silver candidate. He said he had a
letter from Thomas Spaulding, ex-post
commander of Springfield post, Erie
county, N. Y.. saying that a majority of
the members would vote for Bryan. The
gentleman said the post was composed
of 164 members, of whom but four were
Democrats.

not now considered possible that it will
be issued before the first of September.

New Yoke, Aug. 9. The McKinley

the chief insurgent leaders and that ne

the cessation of hostilities in Cuba upon
terms satisfactory to all concerned. It
is also stated here that the captain-gen

held a conference in relation to this im- j

None But Ayefn at the World's Fair.
Ayer's Sarsaparilla enjoys the extra
ordinary distinction of having been the
only blood purifier allowed on exhibit at
the world's fair, Chicago. Manufact
urers of other earsaparillas sought by
every means to obtain a showing of their
goods, but tbey were all turned away
under the application of the rule for
bidding the entry of patent medicines
and nostrums. The decision of the
world's fair authorities in favor of Ayer'6
Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows:
"Ayer's Sarsaparilla Is not a patent
medicine. It does not belong to the
list of nostrums. It is here on its
merits." '

Chicago, Aug. 10. Ex-President Har
rison is eaid to be a candidate for United
States senator and to be ready to make
a fight for the place this fall. The
statement that the ex-president would
like to return to the senate, which he
left to become president, was made to
day by a Republican close to the party
leaders. He eaid :
"Mr. Harrison wants the place. He is
desirous of returing to public life for
several reasons, which I am not at pres
ent able to uive, and his old place as
United States senator from Indiana
would be no loss of i.restige in his going
to the senate after occupying .the office
of president. There are plenty of pre
cedents for it. John Quincy Adams,
after he retired as president, went to
the senate after he rmd left the presi
dency. James Monroe was pnetmaster
of New York after he was president."
If it is true that Mr. Harrison wants
to go to the senate, he will probably
have a bitter opponent in the person of
Charles M. Fairbanks, who was tempo
rary chairman of the Republican na
tional convention at St, Louis. . , -

Land In the Vicinity or MansBeld, Mo.,
Gradually Sinking.
Mansfield, Mo., Aug. 10. The peo
ple throughout this section of the coun
try aro becoming much alarmed over
what appears to be the gradual sinking
of the earth in certain localities. It has
been a little more than a year ago since
a whole field fell an average of a little
more than two feet. Within the last
two weeks the ground has become very
dry from want of moisture, and as a re
sult crevices, some of which are a foot
wide, have appeared in the earth.
Eight miles south of here, in Douglas
county, there is a very noticeable de
pression of several inches, covering more
shan a section of land.
Another evidence of this inexplicable
phenomena occurred in Texas county a
day or two ago, when a sudden sagging
of the earth swallowed up a horse while
hitched to a plow, and it was with diffi
culty that the driver saved himself.
These strange occurrences seem to come
periodically with certain seasons and
although they have been the subject of
investigation for scientific purposes, no
body is able to advance a reasonable
theory for the existence of such a state
of things. The negroes have become so
wrought np over th3 matter that many
of them are leaving the country. They
declare that it ia an indication of the
early arrival of the judgment day.

wagons have been running about all day,
the sound of their gongs becoming
familiar. Street-car horses have dropped
in their tracks by scores. Ont-of door

many factories are temporarily closed.
