Committee in Which to Conn

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 23.-When Chair
man st. John called the convention to
order he stated that the committee ap-
pointed yesterday TO confer with the Peo-
pies party had not as yet been called upon
to exercise its Office, owing TO the delay in
permanent organization of the Populist
convention. 1t was a delicate operation
the committee had entered on, said Mr.,
st. John, and would require patience and
probably another days session of the
Silver convention.
G. d. Bradshaw Of Montana presented a
resolution of thanks to DR.. J. ]. Mott.
chairman of the executive committee of
the Bimetallic League, in appreciation of
his services IN arranging for the conven-

vote.
Responding to calls for speech, DR..
Mott SAID he hoped and believed the silver
men would win the fight and expressed
his thanks for the vote just given.

Harvey was in the room, cries were made
for him to speak, but on motion OF dele
gate from California, T. d. Lane, gold
miner and delegate from that State, was
invited to address the convention for FIVE
minutes. This was Mr.. Lane's first public
appearance; the first convention hs ever

law This law is particularly applied to
Afro Americans who are suspected of
crime and who are lynched without Judge
or jury in violation of our constitution
and contrary TO the laws of the States in
which these offenses are committed. It is
to be deplored that the Democratic Con-
vention did not see fit to give utterance to
any expression OF opinion on this sub
iect.'
In conclusion, he asks Mr.. Bryan:

II am not advocating" Senator Allen
continued, 'any choice for you to make.
If by putting a third ticket in the field you
would defeat free coinage, defeat the with
drawal of National bank notes. defeat Gov
ernment ownership of railroads and tele-
graphs, defeat the income tax and fasten
on the people gold monometaliism and
high taxes for ten years to come, would
you do it? [Cries of "Bryanp'] 1t is your
choice to make, not mine. When I
go back to Nebraska l want to be
able to say that all of those great
doctrines which we have preached
for years are now made possible by your
action. lApplause.1 / do not want to
have to say that the Populist party was
stupid, was blind, kept in the middle of
the road and missed Its opportunity"
[Cheers.l
In some further remarks Senator Allen
was interrupted by questions from critic
in the gallery as to q former speech, which
brought down cries of disapproval from
delegates on the floor and which seemed
10 give some annoyance TO the Senator.
When he resumed his speech he touched
on the necessity of including in Difference

that the Popuiists knew nothing, that
they did not know enough to hold their
convention. A voice-"We will fool
them this time."I
Senator Allen-Yes; we will fool them.
We will stand together, whether we know
much or little. [Cheers.l We may not
be equipped with the intellect of some of

Governor Hill and Senator Smith went
to Chicago on campaign of education |;
but they went back with it unopened.
[Laughter.] 1t is unknown whether that
education was embraced in barrels or in
boxes. [Laughter.] We are to have a
campaign OF education this fall, and some
say 1t will cost five millions of dollars to
carry the election for Mckinley and
Hobart. They think they can buy you.
[Voices-"They cannot."l
Senator Allen then expressed the
opinion that he had entertained the con-
yention sufficiently. and asked, What is
your pleasure?"
Senator Butler moved the appointment
OF committee of twenty-fiv delegates to
