St. Louis, July 25 —Thomas E. Watson of Georgia, who was a member of the Fifty-first congress. ;Hid who in the Fifty-second ami Fifty-third congresses, unsuccessfully contested Colonel Black s seat, was nominated for vice president bv the Populist convention on the first ballot shortly after midnight. There were five other candidates, Sewall of Maine, jUage of Virginia, A. L. Minims of Tennessee, Congressman Skinner of North Carolina, and Colonel Burkitt of Mississippi. The nomination was made unanimous before the result of the roll call was announced. Mr. Bryan sent word to his supporters that he would not accept a nomination at the hands of the convention under these circumstances. He will stand loyally by his running mate. THOMAS E. WATSON. Brief History of the Nominee of the Populists. Thomas E. Watson of Thomson, Ga., was born in Columbia county, Georg a, Sept. 5, 1856. He received a common sc' >1 education and was then sent to Mer r University, Macon, Ga. At the end of the sophomore year be left. college for lack of funds arid taught school two years. He THOMAS E. WATSON, read law for a few weeks under Judge W, R. McLaws of Augusta, Ga., and was admitted to the bur commencing the practice of the profession at Thomson, Ga., his old home, November, 1876. He was a member of the Georgia legislature in 1882-83; was Democratic elector for the state, at large in 1888, and besides the practice of law has been and is still largely interested in farming. He was elected to the Fiftysecond congress as a Democrat, feceiviiig 5.456 votes, against 597 votes for Anthony E. Williams, Republican. Mr. Watson served but one term in congress, being succeeded in the Fifty-third by James C. C. Blaqk, who was elected as a Democrat, receiving 17.772 against 42,333 votes received by Mr. Watson, who ran as the candidate of the People’s party. Mr. Watson also ran as a Populist candidate for, the Fifty-fourth congress from the same district, but was again defeated by Mr. Black. Watson’s unique personality made him a conspicuous figure in the noUse of representatives. He was a fiery debater and took part in numerous hot parliamentary lights. In personal appearance Watson is thin and angular, with a clean shaven face of intellectual caste and a thick mop of auburn hair. * . .. ■ G CONVENTION. I’KOCEEDINGS. .« How the Gathering Con<lucteil Itself at • ■ Ils Third Day’s Session. ’ St. LQ.VIS, July 25.— TJre opposition tp Sewall in j.!i<‘ Populist convemion - pruAicaJly swamped she Bryan forces at o the day s«- - -oK of tlm convention fry making it impossible to prevent a division of the Chicago-ticket. The leaders were powerle.-s to check the strong feeling against the Bath’ship-builder and banker. They had n’Mied the dqy in The committeO on ich Ihtioiis in comparatively iiipJerale plutfcmn which they tion with 'ease • Their strategy was skillfully displayed ;at other points. But the ihti usff under current of feeling against Sewall was fatal to them. It was a sunki n ditch unmarked upon. the battlefield which, clutching with its muddy fingers at t lie wheels of his artillery, bore down Napoleon and his eagles at Waterloo. Yesterday the ditch was

in open view. From the begining It has gaped like a chasm athwart the path of Bryan managers. In vain they attempted to bridge it. Moreover, yesterday for the first time, the “Middle of the Road" element displayed generalship worthy of the name. Recognizing the fact that all hope of defeating Bryan’s nomination was lost, they concentrated all their efforts against Sewall. They did more. They devised a cunning scheme by which the convention wits forced to nominate the vice president, before the president. It was an unprecedented thing, but it 1 servcxl to mails the votes in tavor Os a Populist candidate for vice president and uncover them in advance in the fear that, if Bryan were til,st nominated, the enthusiasm might break down the opposition to Sewall and stampede a majority of the votes for the Nebraskan’s running mate. When the proposition was made to change the regular order of the nominations the Bryan nteii strained every nerve to prevent it. They even pleaded. Jerry Simpson on behalf of Kansas went so far as to intimate that the vote of the Sunflower state would be east tor a southern man for vice president if the regtilar order was not reversed. When the roll was called they rallied every vote at their command. Senator Butler I of North Carolina was a powerful ally with the 95 votes of the old North state behind him, and Congressman Skinner, the chairman of the delegation, cast the solid vote of, the state against the change. When the vote was figured up. however, ami he ascertained that there was a majority <>f 26 in favor of the proposition under his proposition, aftera very pretty theatrical exhibition from Air. Skinner, tlje vote of the delegation was east for *the proposition and the- anti’s eiperged from the contest with a majority of 170. This made the defeat of S< wall ami the nomination of a Populist for vice president certain. After that the conference of the joint committee of the two conventions c<ml.d come to nothing and the silver convention promptly nominated Bryan and Sew’all and adjourned sine die. The anti-Brvan men, although tliey presented a minority platform demanding an irredeemable paper currency and crowded with bitter denunciations of the Democratic and Republican parties, did not attempt to press it after their victory. The majority report, which is moderate and contains few radical propositions, such as a demand for the gradual assumption by the government of the ownership of the railroads and for direct legislation, though the initiative and referendum was adopted without a division and the minority report laid on the table. The Democratic managers consulted after it became evident that Sewall could not be nominated, and Mr. Bryan was communicated with by telegraph. They decided that Mr. Bryan could not be disloyal to his running mate, and word was sent to the leading Bryan managers in the convention that the silver knight of the west would not accept a nomination unless Sewall was also nominated. The convention for five hours last night listened to nominating speeches in profound ignorance of this fact. Tom Watson of Georgia, Congressman Skinner of Colorado, Minims of Tennessee, Burkitt of Mississippi and Mann Page of Virginia were nominated. About 11 o’clock the Bryan. men decided to spring the sensation. ■Senator Stewart of Nevada xvas selected to make the supplemented with a plea for uniting the silver forces, But the anti-Sewall crowd were in the saddle. They howled down the venerable senator and after a a hurried consultation the leaders decided not to permit the announcement to be made at that time.’ Shortly after this balloting for vice president commenced and Tom Watson of Georgia was selected for the tail end of the ticket and the lights went out. Men shouted out of the inky darkness, others sang and a fpw cursed. The band struck up a lively air. A few camiles were brought in to the press tables and the delegates crowded about them pushing and swaying in the flickering light. Several suggested that it was an ill omen but a chorus of voices shouted that it was put up job. Some one madt a motion to make the nomination unanimous and it was carried with a whoop. Then some one called attention to the fact that the nominatioiAif Watson was announced" at exactly 16 minutes to 1. This tickled the middle of the road men, and thpy. shouted: Hurrah! hurrah!” They yelled “16 to 1.” A few minutes later the lights were again turned on and after quiet was' restored Congressman Howard of Alabama moved an adjournment until 9 q’clock this .morning and the motion was carried, j - THE PLATFORM. Populists Assembled at St. Louis Adopted tile Following Preainlile. -St. Loins, July 25, — Th? People’s party assembled in national convention reaffirms its al-legiam e to the principles declared by the founder of the republic and- also to thft foundamentak principles of , just govei’iiment as enunciated in the platform of the.,party ill 1892, but recognizes that through the action of the present and preceding administra.Lions tins country hits.reached a crisis in its national life as predicted in our platform four years ago and ttt present prompt .and jlafriotic action is the su- • .preme duty of the hour. We realize that while we have, political indi'peii-' deiice our financial and industrial indo-, pendence is yet to be. attained by restoring to the people's 'governnient the cbpstitutiomd control, and .exercisri of the fnijctibns- necessary" id that end, which functions ha've been basely surrendered by our public servants to corporate monopolies. The influence of European money” changers has been more potent in shaping.legislation than, tlie voice<)f the American people. Executive power and pat ronage have broir used to corrupt our legislatures ariduefelit the will of flic people, and plutocracy has thereby liiieij enthroned upon the ruins of Denn>eracy. To restore tlm ‘government of the fathers and for the welfare and pjdp&rty of this and futuregeneratioMs, we demand the. establishment of our economic and finaifriah system whjeb sir.ilh make us inasters of oiiriiwn affairsoiiid independent of Europ'eon control by the adoption of the following declaration of principle.: 1 \Vc dcinitml ii national money, safe and I sound, issued by the. general government only without the interventionol banks <4 issue, to be a full legal lender for all debts, public and private, a jus’, equitable and efficient means id distribution direct to the people and through the lawful ditbursemeutb of trie government.

1. We demand the free and unrestricted coinage of silver and gold at the present legal ratio at 16 to 1 without waiting for the consent of foreign nations. . . 8. We demand the volume, of circulating medium la 1 speedily increased to an amount sufficient to meet the demands ot the business population of lids country and to restore the Just level of prices of labor and production. 4. We denounce the Hale of bondsand the increase ot the public interest-bearing bond debt made by the present administration as unnecessary and without autlv'iTtv of law and that no more bonds lie issued except by specific act of emigre-8. ft. We demand such legal legislation as will prevent the demonetization of the lawful money of the United states by private contract. it. A’edemand that the government iu payment of its obligations sli.tll Use itsopliouns to the kind of lawful money in which they are to he paid, and we deiiqunee the present and preceding ndministrntion fors'lriendering this option to the holders of governnient obligations: 7. We deimuid a graduated income tax to the eml that aggregated wealth shall hear its Just proportion ol luxation, and we denounce the supreme eoqrt relative to the income tax law as a misinterpretation of ; lie const it Utiun and an invasion ot the rightful powers of congress over ! lie siibjei t of taxat ion. ji. We demand that postal savings banks bo established b\ the government forihe safe deposit of the savings of the people and to facilitate exchange. I'll VN.s-J’ORTATION Being:' meansUff exchange and a public necessity, the government should own ami operate, the rail roads inthe interest of the people and on non-partisan basts: to the Olid that all may be accorded the same treat meat in transportation and that lire tvranuy and political power now exercised by the great railroad corporations which result in the impairment if not the destruction ot the political rights and personal liberties ot the citizen, nmv be destroyed. Such ownership is to be accomplished gradually in a manner consistent with sou id public policy. 2. Tin interest of the United Stales in the public hig-Lw ays built with public moneys and the proceeds of extensive grants ol land Jo the I’ai itie railroads should never be alienated, Uiorrgng'ed or sold, but guarded and protected lor the general wettaYe as pro; ided by the laws organiziim such railroads. The foreclosure of existing- liens of the I nited States on these roads -liotild at once follow default in the payment thereof of the debt of l ompanies and at the forceiosure s;iies of such roads the government shall puri lmse the same if i| becomes neees-at y to protect its interests therein, or if they < in'be intrchased at a reasonable price; and the governnient shall operate said railr- ml - as public high way s for l lie benefit ol i lie whole ami noiy. in ! he interest ot the tew under , suitable proi iHims for protection of life and property, giving to all transportation interests and privileges and equal rates tor-lares and freight. It. We denounce the present infamous schemes tor refunding these debts and demand that the laws now applicable thereto,be executed and administered according to their true intent and spirit. 4. The telegraph like the pustoftiee system being a necessity for the transmission of news should be ow"ed and operated J>y the government in the interest of the people.. LAND—A true policy demands, that the national and state legislation shall be-such as will ultimate!v enable every prudent and industrious man so own a house and therefore the land shoo'd not be monopolized for speculative purposes. All agricultural and grazing lands now held by railroad corporations in excess of their actual need .should by lawful means be reclaimed by the government and held tor actual settlers only and private laud monopoly should be prevented by appropriate state ami national legislation'. We condemn the frauds, the land grant ot the Pacific Railroad company through the connivance of the interior department robbed multitudes ot actual and bonffide settlers of their homes and miners of their claims and we demand legislation by congress which will enforce the exception of mineral land from such grants after as well as before patent. DIRECT LEGISLATION-We hold that all governments derive their just power from the consent of th„ governed and in order that the consent of tlie governed may be clearly ascertained, we favor direct legislation under proper safeguards, so that a five per tentage of the citizens shall have the right ot initiating, framing and prepiiting laws and f compelling the submission thereof, arid of all important laws, ■ whether nroposed by national, state or local legislatures, to a direct vote of the people for their approval or rejection.
