Populists Making a Final
Struggle for Teller
This Morning.

CHICAGO, July Z 1Ss6.-Prior to going
into the convention the silver men. under
the guidance of experienced parliament
tarians like Senator Harris, Senator Jones
OF Arkansas and others, prepared a set
OF parliamentary motions to meet every
possible phase of the expected fight
with the sound money men oyer the or
ganization and control Of the convention
Each of these motions was assigned to
designated leader to present at the
proper time, and word was passed round
among all the silver cohorts that resolu-
tions offered by these persons expressed
the views of the party and were expected
to receive the solid support of the silver
men. 1t was openly stated in the con-
ference that this course had been render
ed necessary by the course of the Chi
cago newspapers, which, in spite of the
pledge given on their behalf to the Ma
tional Committee when Chicago was se-
lected as a meeting place. that the press
of the city would report the proceed
ings of the convention with fairness mad
not failed to distort and misrepresent with
all kinds of untruthfulness the plans and
purposes of the silver men. Delegates
were, therefore, cautioned not to be mis-
but to follow the lines marked out by
their own steering committee
Hon. Jerry Simpson, the well known
Kansas exCongressman, was circulating
among the Southern delegations this
morning and was received with great
cordialitY by most of them, especially
when tiae purpose Of his call was made
known. While he was in the room of the
Texas delegation he was asked by re-
porter from the United Press whether the
| Populists would support Mr.. Bland in
case he should be nominated.

genial Populist, and my knowledge is
confined at present entirely to the senti-
ment of the Populists of Kansas. where
