NOT THEIR CONVENTION, NOHow
Bow Chairman Allen stood OF the Demo-
cratic Party.

ST. Louis, July 25.-The Populist con-
vention, just before the adjournment
today, narrowly missed becoming the
scene OF what would in all probalbili-
" have been the greatest sensation of
its proceedings. Governor Stone of
Missouri and Delegate Patterson of Col
oraGo were present as the representa-
tives of Senator JonsS, chairman of the
Democratic national committee, with
song telegram from Mr.. Bryan defining
his position with reference TO the Pop
ulist nomination, in view of the refusal
of the convention to endorse Mr.. Sew
all Governor Stone was extremely
anxious to read this communication
but the privilege was denied by Chair
man Allen and the convention was saw
ed what would have been a very excit-
ing and interesting scene.
The roll call Of states for the presi-
dental nomination was in progress and
had progressed so far as 10 make il,
quite certain that If nothing occurred
TO change any of the votes already cast
Mr.. Bryan would be the presidential
nominee of the convention. There had
been anxious inquiry by the middle OF
the road men during the entire day for
a message from Mr.. Bryan, and the
Texas delegation went so far as 10 wire
him for definition of his position
II is considered by many who were
present that if the dispatch had been
read il might have changed the course
OF the nomination. Senator Allen took
the position that il would at least ere
ste great confusion and much excite
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1896-07-28

ment, and that in view of all the circum-
stances it would not be wise to have
the message read. He also exerted his
utmost endeavors TO suppress any ref
erence to it in the proceedings and sue
ceeded in doing so until the roll call
had been completed. The only mention
made on the matter was by Mr.. Ashby
of Texas, who, rising to a question of
! personal privilege, asked if any teie-
gram was on the speakers table from
! Mr.. Bryan, defining Mr.. Bryan's at
situde.
There is none" replied Mr. Allen.
Has there been one?" asked Mr.. Ash
by.
Tn senator replied that there had
not been Senator Allen, however,
had received a message from Governor
Stone, which was carried TO him by
Mr.. Patterson, asking that the govedn-
! or be given an opportunity to read the
Bryan message. This request Chair
man Allen refused twice to grant to
Mr. Patterson. He also afterwards re-
ferred it to Governor Stone. The gov
ernor went upon the platform and was
informed in the most direct terms that
he would not be recognized.
This refusal apparently had the effect
"a NA-7 Will 1ONc soNOllC anu
Mr.. Patterson. The latter expressed
the opinion that the convention was
entitled to have Mr.. Bryan's attitude
explained fully. as the dispatch would,
he said, have explained it, and he was
greatly disappointed that this course
was not pursued. The two gentlemen
fingered in the rear of the hall until the
nomination Of Mr.. Bryan was announc-
ed and they went directly to a confer
ence with Senator Jones. All the par
ties to the transaction refused to give
the contents of Bryan's message, or to
go into any details Of IT'S purport. 1t
is known, however, that il consisted
or a number Of replies from Mr.. Bryan
TO inquiries made Of him over the wires
by Senator Jones, and that it was a.
mere elaboration of his short MESA ge
OF Friday night, directing the withdraw
al OF his name because Of the refusal of
the popuiist convention to confer a nom
ination upon Mr.. Sewall, as it was about
to do upon himself One of the par
ties to the conference said the dispatch
was in no sense a declination or refusal
of the nomination, and that no intima-
ton was contained that Mr.. BRYAN
would not accept.
Senator Allen stated after the adjourn
ment Of the convention that as the dis
patch was not addressed to him, he had
not even felt 1t incumbent to read II to
the convention. Furthermore, he init
mated that he was not pleased with the
apparent wish of the Democrats to con-
duct the affairs of the Popuist conven-
ton.
General Weaver said there was moth
ing in the message which could in any
way have changed Mr.. Bryan's rela-
ton to the Populist convention.

BASE MONEY IL HISTORY.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir Much has lately been said and written
touching the evil effect Of any attempt by govern
mental authority to impress base currency with
fictitious value, l have not as yet seen any
reference made to notable instance Of that char

This is the more remarkable as the case 10 which

Ireland in the year 1889 and with the assistance o;
Louis XIV OF France and his troops was striving

and impoverished country. he became very short o.
