at the national Populist convention to be held
in st. Louis this week. Part of them left st.

Minneapolis & st. Louis road, and were Joined

great hopes for a united movement to be

ex-President R. ]. Hall state that Bryan
must make a declaration of Popuist faith in

Minnesota delegation. She is not very en-
thusiastic for Bryan. The Dakota and Min
nesota delegations gathered in Minneapolis
preparatory to their departure and seemed
very uncertain on the subjects of free silver
and the endorsement OF Bryan.
A meeting of populists will be held at
Brandl's hall, Western and University av-
enues tonight at o'clock. Populists from
all portions of the city expected to be
