SECTIONAL, NOT NATIONAL Hypocritical Cry of Negro Rule Makes It "Solid."1 WALL-STREET FACTION GAINS Populist Leader Predicts Bryan Will Be 'Nominated In 1908', but Worse 'Defeated Than Parker If He Is With Belmont Clique. . CRAWFOHDSVILLE, Ga., Nov. 30. Thomas E. TVatscon, recently candidate for President on the Populist ticket, to day addressed a large crowd at this place. former home of Alex H. Stevens. Hl3 address was received with close attention. but with no marked enthusiasm. He spoke in part as follows: "in national nolitlcs the Democratic narty stands without a party, a declara tlon of principles or accepted leader. It is utterly bankrupt In reputation. It hag no unity of conviction, sentiment, nor nubile purpose. It contains antagonistic plements which can never be harmonized. Its secret purpose is so foreign to what Democratic masses approve that the na tional struggle of the national leaders Is to prevent the Democratic masses from Tienetratlnlr that secret purpose. What is that .secret purpose? To use the Demo cratic party in support of the same sys tcm of class legislation which the Repub. llcan oarty stands for. "I make this prediction: Bryan will be the candidate of the Democratic party in IMS. And I make this second prediction "When Bryan runs for President in 130S as the candidate of the Parker-Belmont Cleveland-Gorman combine, he will be a worse beaten man than Parker was. "Does. Mr. Bryan sincerely believe he can commit the national Democratic con ventlon to his recently repaired and re plenished Populist platform? If so, ho must see that the country would then have no Pooulist party. Such a con tingency would e laughable were not the crisis so grave. Mr. Bryan must know that his programme promises nothing bet ter than another spectacular combat at another St. Louis convention with another "dogfall" as the result, or another sur render on the part of Mr. Bryan and a sham battle before the people and another "Waterloo in which all will be lost, includ ing honor. "The Democratic party can no longer claim to be national. It is sectional. The South is still its victim. The South is still the quadrennial sacrifice which cor rupt or stupid Southern politicians de livered over to Wall street. But for the Solid ' South Democracy' would have to shut up shop, join the Republicans" and face "a genuine party of opposition. "What keeps the South solid? Nothing In the world except an out-of-date sec tional animosity and the shamelessly nypocritlcal cry of negro domination. Southern -politicians will sacrifice the na tional ticket any time to maintain the local monopoly. And the 'negro ques tion Is the question of their lives. Men who appear to have some common sense in other directions lose all their mental bearings when the 'negro question is sprung and they imedlately begin to bop around in a dervish dance of political hysteria. "The South cannot afford to be sectional. In self-defense, she must be national. If we allow our Soutnern leaders to put us in a degrading position nationally ours Is the fault. As long as we allow the Solid South to be the slave of a handful of Eastern capitalists, we must expect the lash of the slave driver and to feel the weight of the chain. "Let us put a finish to this degradation of the South. Let us assert our manhood 'against the tyranny of political bosses, .Letlus break the shell of this Bourbonlsm which neither learns nor forgets." ; PEABODY MAY YET WIN.

The control of the State Senate also appears to hinge upon the decision of this matter. Two hours were given each side for ar. gument. Attorneys John M. "Waldron and H. J. Horsey made the arguments In favor of throwing out the votes and United States Senator Thomas M. Patter son and Samuel Belford argued against such a proceeding. Attorney "Waldron gave a history of the events loading up to the contempt cases, Referring to the precinct In question, he said: m "Theballots' were mysteriously spirited away" and papers were substituted which no .human being had ever voted. "What we ask now is that the so-called certlft. cate, which is really no certificate at all be set aside and the defendant Election Commission be ordered not to count the returns." Mr. "Waldron charged that in the present caso the thieves had been punished, but up to the present time they had been al lowed to keep the stolen votes. Senator Patterson questioned the juris diction of the Supreme Court In the mat ter at bar. saying there was no precedent to support the petition of the Republic ans, lr the court should grant the appli cation, it would be encroaching upon the prerogatives of the Legislature, which body alone had the right to say what votes should Te counted.

Chief Justice Gabbert gave notice from the bench this afternoon that ho wished all lower courts to cease taking Juris diction in Denver election matters, and also notified members of the bar present that they must desist from trying to fur ther Involve the Denver election cases by seeking to have other courts take jurisdic tion. The oral instruction was occasioned by the application of Attorney Hersey. coun sel to the Republican party In election cases, for a writ of prohibition against the County Court preventing the opera tion of a mandamus writ issued by the County Court directing the election com mission to make certain changes in the returns. Ben F. Woodward, repesonting Theodore McGulre, Democratic candidate for Senator, in whoso interest the manda mus was issued, attempted to make an argument against Hersey's application for a writ of prohibition. It was then that the Judge's Ire awoke, and he gave the notification which, he said, was final. Judge Gabbert scored Attorney Dunkles. representing the elections committee, for not informing him of the action of the County Court. This was followed by an order vacating the mandamus of the County Court. ELECTION CONTEST BROUGHT UP Circuit Court of Appeals Will Hear Colorado Case December 10. ST. PAUL, Nov. 30.
