Of the small stations men came into the

whose vocal efforts drowned the music
of the First Infantry band
Thousands of people along the long
drive TO the central portion of the city
seemed bent on Smothering the per-
fOrmances Of the band with shouting
and Ifog-hOrn chOruSeS. "A large plat
form had been erected at Fifteenth and
Douglass streets. decorated with bunt-
ing and s;reamers. Around it was as
sembled a crowd Of people, the VIDE
streets for over a block n each direc-
ton being densely packed from wall to
wall, while The roofs and windows of
adjoining buildings were filed with peo-
pie. The appearance of Mr. Bryan was
the signal for prolonged and hearty
cheering that continued at brief inter-
walls until Judge DOane invited order.
Judge D0ane introduced Mayor BrOatch,
Republican, who delivered an address
of welcome.
When Mr.. Bryan mounted table up
on The platform, il was several minutes
before his gestures hushed The uproar
and his remarks were frequently inter
ruDted by cheers. He made non-par-
usan speech and at its close, Mr.. Bry-
an was subjected TO the Misunderstanding
ordeal. both hands being kspt in dill

the only names canvassed since Con-
gresham Towne, of Minnesota, arrived
to-day, and announced himself for Bry-
an. Although the Bryan managers
seem confident OF success, they are by
no means out of the woods. The COM
promise propositions pressed upon them
are the principal source of their anxi-
ETY..
Senator Marion Butler, of North Car
olina, is essaying TO compromise, and
all his energies are bent in that direc
tion. He believes that both factions
could be harmonized and that the integ
rity of the Populistic organization pre-
served by the adoption of Populist
platform, division Of electors in GER
tain States and the nomination of Bry-
an for president and Southern Populist
for vice president. He claims that his
compromise will have behind ii 4SS
votes from the South. Senator Butler
argued that this was the only way Of
uniting the silver forces SO far as the
South was concerned, because it was the
only way of maintining autonomy OF the
Populist party in that section.

impract!cable and the Democratic man
ayers refusa to listen to any proposition
irvolving the withdrawal of Sewall. The
latter say thsy are firmly Convinced that
three-qUarters of the Populists Of tine
North and West and many in the South
will vote the Chicago ticket on the issue
presented, 10 matter what this convention
does. This dcss not mean there is any in
difference. Chairman Jones is using all
mis- energies to secure the nomination or
endOrs ement Of the Democratic ticket. He
says to al VINO approach him that the sill

Hclcomb. who came direct from a visit TO
Lincoln, said that the Democratic candi-
date Gscllred to enter into any compact,
but the Populists, as well as others, must
re.y upon him for fair treatment.
Altoge ther, sizing the situation up to-
night. it seems reasor5ly certain that
Bryan Will be endorsed. Beyond that,
nothing can be safely predicted.

Parkersburg, w. Va, July 21.-The
big wigwam was crowded to overfidw-

G. B. Gibbens raped the meeting to
order. Five-minute speeches were

AT one stage OF the proceedings,
drunken delegate advanced TO the front
of the stage before PitZer and proceeded
20 talk. Pitzer, however, appeared
later and his friends recognized him.
The occurrence brought forth the only
applause OF the evening session.
"A sensation was created here tonight
by the report that John K. Thompson,
of Raymond City, would not permit the
use of his name before the convention
tomorrow as a candidate for Auditor.
A deal has been perfected by which
Thompson will throw all his support to
Hyer for the Authorship. Friends of
Thompson are opposing the deal and
declare they will not support Hyer, but
on the other hand will give their sup
port 10 La Toilette. Thompson's Sup

Frankfort, Ky, July 21.-Ten lives
were lost as the result of last nights
flood so far as heard from. Gaines
bridge over Benson creek, was washed
away four miles from town. The dead
are:
James Bradley, wife and five child
rem.
Mrs. Bryant, widow and two child
rem.
They lived in fiat along Benson
creek which rose so rapidly that the
house was washed away before the oc-
cupants knew their danger. Mrs. Bry-
ant is a daughter OF Squire Dan Moore,
candidate FOR county judge.
James SudGuth, tenant, made mi
racuOuS escape with his family. He
lived in Benson's Valley. He was awak-
ed by the storm and discovered that
the creek had swollen and was likely
TO sweep his house away He swan
over a mile and procured a horse and
they made their escape from the house
only a few minutes before ii was wash
ed away by the rush of waters. Traffic
on both the Louisville and Cincinnati
and Lexington < Snort Line divisions Of
the l.. q \. is suspended and the l.. &
N, and Chesapeake and Ohio will go
over the Louisville Southern tracks via
Lexington.
A half dozen or more county bridges
have been washed away. The most
valuable vas the one recently construct
ed over Benson creek and cost $4,000.
Hundreds OF acres of crops are totally
ruined, and it is impossible TO even ap-
prOXimate jhe damage. Trains ran 10
the bridge from both directions but the
waters are SO violent that ii was i'm
possible 10 transfer passengers by boat
or otherwise.
The bodies of Bradley. his wife and two
children nave been recovered Many peo-
pie living in & nzon valley left their homes
ard waded out through the mad waters,
only escaping q few minutes before tie

THE PoPULIsT PLATFORM.
Very Little Capitalization of Sentiment
Some of the ideas to he Embodied.


ST Louis Mo. July 21.-While there
are many platforms floating about, there
apperas to be comparatively little crys-
talization of ideas The subject has re-
ceived nothing like the attention that
was given to the same matter prior 10
the Republican and Democratic conyen-
tons. There have been no conferences
of men selected by common consent as
in those two conventions prior to meet
ing to prepare the declaration Of party
principles and it is apparent that the
mater will be left large ly until the
committee en- resolutions shall be called
uoon to act. II is generally conceded,
however. that the lines OF the Omaha
platform will be closely followed; that
The money transportation and bond
questions will receive their chief atten-
ton. The convention will demand that
the government snall control the rail-
roads. the silver shall be coined free
and in quantities limited by the supply,
that the government shall issue a sufIi-
cien tsupply of paper money to supply
hhe demands of business, and that the
national banks shall be abolished. 1t
is believed that the sub-treasury scheme
will be dropped.

Bryan Believes He VIII be Elected Wheth-
er the Populists Indorse Him or Not.
81. Louis Mo-, July 21.-It is gener-
ally accepted as a fact among the Po
pulists delegates to-day that if Bryan
and Sewall are endorsed by the Populist
convention that the Populist party was
to be accorded liberal representation
upon the Democratic Executive Com
mittee. They believe they will have at
least two or three members OF the COM
mittee. The understanding also is that
the silver Republicans who have declar-
ed for Bryan will also be given repre-
senJation in the manag ment of the
campaign. Chairman Jones, of the
Democratic Committee would neither
confirm or deny this report in so many
words, except to say that no definite
arrangement had been made.
Arrivals from Lincoln. TO which place
there are not a few pilgrimages these
days, report that Mr.. Bryan still de-
clines TO make any concessions or plad-
ges for Populist support. He tells all
he is not Indifferent to the endorsement
Of the Populist convention, but believes
he will be elected whether made the
expressed object of the regard of the
convention or not and adds that as he
was nominated by the Democrats with
out making any pledges, or promises in
the way Of appointments, he cannot and
will not make any pledges TO secure
nominations or even to secure the elec-
ton, but that PopulisJs as well as 9TH
ers must rely upon him to treat them
fairly in case of his success at the polls.
