ance and after IL spirited discussion
adjourned until Saturday ut 10 o'clock.
They refused to return and meet with
the Coliseum hall crowd. The reasons
for this action were given by Mr..
Holden, who said:
II think we should wait until after
the other tickets are nominated and
then put ticket In the field. These
delegations will ull remain loyal. l
think we should indorse Charles s.
Thomas, as we are not strong enough
to put up n candidate of our own. Let
us put up man next best. Mr.. Blu.
chanan said that because Waite did
not suit us we should not sacrifice the
rest OF the ticket. think he came
nm an emissary from Governor Waite.
1t was IN Insult TO our intelligence.
Waiteism Is one thing and Populism
Is another thing. don't see how any
one who believes in the Populist party
can vote for Waite There Is no doubt
In my mind. md quote from Mr..
Merrick OF the silver league. and he
verities my belief that Waite will be
defeated by about 1900 votes. The
defeat of Wateism will enhance the
influence and power Of Popullsm. /
think we should adjourn and meet
later and nominate county ticket af-
ter the other parties have made their
nominations"

to order by Chairman Pratt mt 10:40.
