POPULISTS WON'T DIVIDE.
Taubeneck Has the $4,000 and
Won't Give to Silver Men.

St. Louis, July 20.-Chairman Tau
beneck of the Populist executive COM
mittee still refuses to divide even a
little bit of the $4,000 donated by the
citizens committee t. the Populist and
national silver conventions.
Mr. Taubeneck's reason for this is
that the $4,000 is not nearly enough to
pay the expenses of his own cOnven-
ton.
The citizens committee, as such, in
sists that it has performed it's share
of the convention contract, and that its
funds are exhausted.
In the meantime the silver men are
digging down into their own pockets
and going ahead to hold their conven-
ton.
