ween weaver and Kyle. taking the

tween Weaver and Kyle, taking the
stand that Gresham is out of the race.
The caucuses of various State delega-
tions and individuals were numerous to-
night. The most active work is being
done by opponents of Weaver, who are
endeavoring to defeat him. Kyle's
friends were claiming late tonight that
the following States are solid for him:
Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, Georgia,
Ohio, Massachusetts, New Hampshire,
Washington, Colorado and half of Kan
sas.
Efforts are being made for some one
man against Weaver, causing large
crop of new names to be suggested for
the ticket With the exception of Kyle,
however, no name has been brought for
ward which has the element of strength
and availability. 1t seems likely that
| Weaver will enter the convention with
larger following than any other man,
though an effort to find match for him
IN the convention is being pushed with
vigor. The main objection to Weaver is
his previous greenback record.
GRESHAM MOVEMENT.
OMAHA, July 3.-The Gresham move
ment came up tonight seemingly
stronger than ever. /. n. Smith an Hi
nols delegate, who had just arrived from
Chicago fresh from an interview with
Otto Gresham, the Judges son, brought
glad udiugs. y meeting of the Illinois
delegation was held, and after Smith un-
folded the news the delegates scattered
about the hotels, trumpeting the Judges
name with vigor. l.. Il. Magarell of Chi
cago was one of the most active Gresham
missionaries, this evening, after the ar
rival Of Smith. NIagarell stated that
Otto Gresham assured Smith that none of
the authorized communications from the
Peoples party leaders had yet reached
the Judge, but would be presented to
him to-day. The wife and son would go
over the situation with the Judge, laying
before him all the messages He de-
ciared that the dispatches purporting to
have been received from Gresham were
Inventions.
General Weaver has been requested TO
place Gresham's name before the con-
Nention tomorrow. He replied that he
was willing and ready to be spok esrlan
for Gresham. but he had no substantial
evidence that the Judge would accept.
The Gresham men have decided to send
committee of three-Streeter Of Illinois,
Tempfeton of Indiana and Orr of Colo
rado-to find Gresham and obtain from
him an expression, which would be wired
in cipher and laid before the convention.
: The committee left Omaha this even
ing. General Secretary John w. Hayes
OF the Knights of Labor, and Marion Can
non OF California, two Of the best-known
men in the convention, stubbornly de-
cline to accept the Gresham kilograms as
definitely settling the question of the
Judges candidacy. Both professed to
believe that something was wrong with
the dispatches to and from Gresham.
The climax of the rejuvenated Gresham
boom was the formal action,of the Hi
nois delegation. They voted soIidly to
stand by the Judge from start to finish if
the slightest definite intelligence was re-
ceived from him that he would accept the
nomination. Added significance was
given to the decision from the fact that
the delegation constitutes by far the larg-
est one in the convention.
THE BELLAAIY IDEAS.
OMAHA, July 3.-Bellamy's ideas are
advanced by a hundred delegates, and to-
day fully two hundred of them met.
Major Henry Winn of Massachusetts
presided. Nearly all OF the States and
Territories were represented. DIR. Tucker
: OF Ohio declared that Ohio was rapidly
passing into the hands of the NationaIists
and the time was not far distant when
they would dictate terms to the old polit-
ical parties of the State. He believed ere
long the Bellamy idea would take root
and be popular theory.
William Penn Rogers of California de-
clared that most Of the people in his State
were socialists, and a remarkable reforma-
ton had been brought about by careful
study of Bellamy's books.
u Pine of Connecticut saw no way ont of
the financial difficulty than to accept Ma
tionalism.
T Cox of Illinois said the principle taught
by the Haymaret rioters sprang UP in the
united labor organizations, until now the
socialists cast thirty thousand votes. The
Peoples party, he said, would never
amount to anything until it took up the
ideas of nationalism.
sINGLE-TAX SYMPATHIZERs.
OMAHA, July 3.-The Farnum-street
Theater was crowded this afternoon with
the Peoples party single tax sympathiz-
ers. President Bracket, of the Omaha
Single Tax Club, presided, and with him
on the stage was a score of weIl-known
followers of henry George. Hamlin
Garland was the first speaker. He pre-
, faced the reading Under the Lions Paw,
by saying that he differed with Henry
George, in pinning his faith to the Peo-
pies party and not putting trust in the
Democrats.
Mrs. Lease ofKansas carried away the
, audience in speech of remarkable elo-
quence and power.
James Ballinger of Des Moines told
what he knew of land monopolies in
| Iowa, and Mrs. Kingman told story
from Oregon.
Some one in the audience wanted to
know where the money came from which
published the single tax literature. and a
man in the gallery shouted: From
here; it's free silver" and flung dollar
on the stage. This was followed bv q
shower of silver from all sides and the
meeting adjourned.
