Platform or No Platform.


Platform No Platform.
st. Louis, July 25.-There was great con-
fusion on the floor of the auditorium be-
fore the pouist convention met today.
Delegates in animated groups were dis
cussng the situation. The Bryan feeling
was strong. but telegram from Nebras-

nomination rendered the situation chaot-
ic. Many desired to nominate Bryan in
the face of this telegram. Patterson CT

Kansas counseled the Endorsement of
Bryan insetad of nomination, pointing
out that an Endorsement did not require
an acceptance. Cyclone" Davis and
other radicals. however, insisted that Bry-
an could not refuse. and If he did, the re-
sponsibility for disaster at the polls would
rest on the democracy, not populists
