John Sharpe William In his remarks about the Yeoent contest for senator In Mississippi has raised a question which la extremely interesting in southern states. He nrgea a fight on populism, throws down the gauntlet to Tom Wat-toand Wllllam Randolph Hearst and declares a definite democratic policy against government ownership of railroads, but indicates his intention to support William J. Bryan If tbe latter la nominated. It would seem that Williams has almply aggravated or emphasised the difference at present existing in the democratic party. If he should again be chosen leader of tbe minority to the house of representatives when congress meets, and continues to voice the views he has expressed in his aftermath speech, he will certanlyi arouse the opposition of the radical wing of the party or that d portion of the party which to to populistic doctrines.
