the knowledge, that so many forms OF

The Situation at st. Louis.

According to the latest dispatches
inc situation in the Populist camp at
st. Louis is full Of uncertainty. The
adherents OF Bryan and Sewall claim
to have n majority in favor OF IN I'M
conditional endorsement of the Chi
cago nominees. Tho straightouts
are claiming everything in sight and
say they have Il sufficient number OF
votes to prevent Bryan's endorsement
and nominate a ticket that will keep
I in the middle of the road.
One Of the latest schemes evolved
by the opponents of fusion is to en-
dorse Bryan ind nominate a South
ern Populist on the ticket with him.
The scheme vas submitted to Senat-
or Jones, Chairman Of the Democratic
National Committee, who killed it in
its infancy by the positive statement
that such u thing could not be con-
sidered.
An exciting scene occurred yester-
day at Il meeting of the Middle-of-
the Road men, held for the purpose OF
eifecting an organization. Albright,
a delegate from Oklahoma. pointed
out Il maj and charged him with dis
tributmg Mark Hanna's money for
the purpose Of preventing the en-
dorsemet and Bryan and defeating
the Silver party. The man was Silas
Ross Of New York. Ross e%mphatical-
iy denied that he had been engaged
i'll any such bushes, or had ever seen
the Oklahoma man before. Albright
afterwards admitted that he might
be mistaken us to Ross being the man,
Tie afterwards said IIacGstaff of
Colorado was the man with the
money This met with n prompt de.
NAL from Hackstaif and Albright WIS

carried to exclude all Bryan men
from the meeting. \. German Popu-
list from st. Louis then got ON his
ear and said it was not a Populist. but
a Republican MEETING. This did not
suit the majority Of tie meeting and
the German was hustled through the
door.

One Continuous ovation,

The Eastern press are just now ex.

IL they remember. Samuel WA
about to anoint Eliab, bu, the Lord

tenance or on..the height Of his stat

pass before Samuel, but he would not
do. The same luck attended shan.

sons OF Jessie.

here all thy children? And he said,

Now, he was ruddy, and withal OF a

Kill the Phllistines and take away the
reproach from Israel, and asked:

that he should defy the armies of the
living Gods Then the anger Of
Eliab WINS kipdled against David, and
with a regular igoldbug sneer he
ask ID: with whom has thou left
tho 20 few sheep in the w~ilderness?'
But David got away with the giant
all the same, and later he lodged
Saul's javelin, and at last made SO
much reputation for himself that the
world still remembers him, though it
has forgotten Eliab. He downed
Goliath with a pebble fired from a
