CHAIRMAN JONES.
St Louis. No, July Ex-senator Jones
Of Arkansas. chairman Of the Demo-
cratic committee, ate an early break
fast at the Planters this morning with
| Governor Stone and at 8 o'clock repaired
| 20 his parlors to receive callers.
Scores Of cards were in his room when
| he returned to Il, and he began i'm
mediately to have visitors ushered in.
Senator Stewart was one of the first
| admitted and close on the heels Of the
Nevadan followed Colonel Thomas Pat
tfson. the Popu1ist leader of Colorado.
At 10 o'clock the prospects were that
Senator Jones would be engaged all day
| IN private conferences with Populist
leaders
He said: 'T hope the Populist con-
vention will endorse Bryan and SewaIl,
and since have arrived here have re-
ceived good deal Of encouragement in
that hope. Tt occurs to me that every
body VINO believes in the free coinage
OF silver can, with perfect good grace
and confidence, vote for our nominee
and thus assure the restoration of BIZ
metslhsm at the earliest possible date"
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
Asked about the appointment OF the
executive ooL9Inittee for the manage
ment of the campaign. Senator Jones
said: IT have given the matter a great
deal of thought, but have not yet de-
termined upon the selections. So many
vast interests have TO be considered in
matter Of this kind that progress is
necessarily slow. And, besides, the
committee Doesn't have to be made I'D
until the candidates have been officially
notified OF their nomination
Then. too, i am not confined to the
membership Of the national committee
IN choosing the executive committee,
but can go outside of that organization
entirely If such a course is considered
advisable
HEADQUARTERS
On the subject of the locs ton Of the
executive committee headquarters he
was not very explicit
i have not selected Washington. 8
reported, he said, and have expressed
a preference for no location In fact, 7
doubt II the selection Will be left TO my
judgment, but l am inclined TO think
that the executive committee, when
chosen. viii make the selection"
Governor Stone, who. it is understood,
will be a member OF the executive com
mittee, expressed a very decided prefer
nc for Chicago.
My prsonal choice, OF course. would
be st. Louis said the governor. but
consideration OF Interests OF vaster con-
Germ incline to Chicago Certainly the
headquarters must be in the west and
as Chicago rs Of easier eccess to the bat
tie grounds, my choice is that city,
ONE POPULIST RETURNS.
Birmingham, Aala.. July 20.-Philan-
der Morgan, a. brother of United States
Senator John T. Morgan, one Of the most
influential Populist workers in Alabama,
has created sensation by announcing
his return to the Democratic party. He
made a speech at Coal City endorsing
Bryan and the national and state Demo-
cratic platforms. Mr. Morgan is re-
garded as the brainiest Populist in Ala
bama and could have had the PopuIist
gubernatorial nomination, but would
not accept IL.
