Pueblo, Sept. 5.-Pandemonium broke
loose in the populists state convention
almost as soon as it was called to order
today at 9:15. The majority report OF
the committee on credentials favored
seating the Waite delegates from Denver
and the Barcla delegates from Los Ami

reached an understanding, and Senator
Barcla, who already has been nominated
for state treasurer by the de,nocrats,
will also receive the populist nomination.
7. M. Patterson, leader Of the opposition
to Waite, endeavored to speak. The
convention refused to hear him until the
majority report Of the committee on
credentials had been adopted. With q
hurrah the motion was then carried, al
lowing Patterson i've minutes to address
the convention. Patterson said nothing
no could say in the five minutes would
make any impression on the delegates,
and he would simply enter the protest Of
the minority. Ed Holden, an anti.Waite,
attempted TO speak but was howled
down. Thereupon the Patterson dele.
CATION from Denver left the hall, followed
by about dozen other delegates.
