row the Populist state convention will
meet at 2 p. m. Thirty or forty dele
gates arrived this afternoon and even
ing, but few of them had any idea Of
who would preside. The call for the
convention provides for 76S delega ties.
Sentiment among the delegates now on
the ground appears to favor Judge
Maxwell as a candidate for the SUI
preme, bench.
This. however, is in spite OF his
avowal that he is not a candidate.
The convention will nominate it's can
didates for supreme Judge, and two
candidates for regents of the state uni

ously urging the Populists to endorse
Phelps, the nominee of the Democratic
state convention for supreme judge.
This will not be done and 1t is proba bly,
that the Democrats will withdraw their
candidate in the POpuliSt interest
