THE BRYAN MEN CONFIDENT.
But SewaiI--T hat just Where the Hard
Rub Comes.

st. Louis, Mo, July 23.-The Bryan
people are becoming more and more
confident of the endorsement of Bryan
hy the Populist convention. They are
now claiming that he will be named
on the first ballot.
Most of them concede, however, that
it will be very difficult to secure SINH
lar action in SewalPs behalf. They
have not abandoned their efforts in
this direction. They now contemplate
an adjournment of the convention inn
mediately after Bryan's nomination. in
case that should be secured, with the
hope of bringing the opposition to
Sewall to see the wisdom of his sup
port.
In case they fail on Sewall the plan
is TO accept the nomination of Bryan
independent of Sewall. They state
this can be done and that Populist
State organizations can, where they
have mind to do so, adopt Bryan
and Sewall ticket regardless of the
action of the National convention.
Senator Jones, the Democratic
chairman, had been consulted upon this
plan and has given his opinion that it
is possible.
Senator Jones is, however, still hold
ing off for the endorsement of the en-
tire ticket as the best course to be
pursued. He is urged to do this by
Mr.. Bryan himself, who has wired the
Senator that he is disinclined to accept
any endorsement that is not also given
to his Democratic running mate.
Some of Bryan's friends say, how
ever, that they will take what they
can get, they will make him their can
didate, regardless of this formality.
Some of them regard this as the best
position for him to be placed in. With
reference to Sewall his friends and
those of Mr.. Bryan hold that the West
ern States would pursue the course
they outline of taking both regardless
of the conventions action on Sewall.
They think the Populist candidate for
Nice-President would be voted for in
the South but they rely on the Demo
Gratis to carry the Southern States for
both Bryan and Sewall.

Ter, amid hovls of delight from the
straight-outs. ruled the motion out of
order.
Mr.. Washburn, of Massachusetts,,
from the stage, announced that he
had an important resolution to offer.
1t proved to be one deprecating the
talk Of a split in the convention. 1t
was intended to bind the convention,
and was as follows:
Whereas, We are all POpulists and
deprecate the talk which has appeared
in some of the newspapers that there
is disposition on the part of any pOr-
tion of this convent on to refuse to a.
bide by the action Of this convention,
therefore,
Resolved, That we repudiate all
such utterances as a reflection upon
the fidelity Of the members of this
convention of the Peoples party"
Mr.. Washburn, said the necessity for
preserving the organization of this
"grand party" was vital, and called for
a full discussion.
A storm of protests came from the
middle-of-the-roade and one of them
made the point of order that before
the convention was permanently or
ganized no such resolution could be
acted upon.
An angry Connecticut delegate, nam
ed Henry c. Baldwin, jumped on a
chair and Indignantly shouted: eff the
papers say we are asses, shall we pass
resolution saying we are not?"
Chairman Butler ruled that during
the temporary organization a resolu-
tion could not be passed expressing its
sense. Thereupon Congressman How
ard, of Alabama, moved to refer the
resolution to the committee on reso-
lutions. Delegate Branson, of Georgia,
followed with a motion to table the
whole subpect.
There was a great deal of confusion
as the vote was taken, Chairman Butler
deciding that the motion was carried
There was some squabbling as to the
time when the convention should adj
iourn and although the announcement
was made that it would be 3 o'clock
before the committee on credentials
| could report the convention refused
to take a recess and another song was
sung from the platform. The band
then occupied the time while the dele
gates famed and sought the water
barrels.
At 12:42 another motion TO take a
recess until o'clock was made and it
was carried.
