BELIEVERS IN THE WORD.
PopuIIsts Still Pin Their Faith to Read
ing Matter
As A MEANS OF MAKING CONVERTS.

Work of Their Bureau in Topeka
TiIIman's Speech is Now the Most
Called for Document.
United States Senator Ben Tillman's
speech, made in the senate a few weeks
ago, in which he denounced President
Cleveland, is the most called for piece OF
literature at the headquarters of the Pop
ulist state central committee.
The Populist state committee has for
weeks been busy sending out large guam
titles Of books, papers and documents
on the money question and kindred po-
litical subjects.
Chairman Breidenthal has issued a
large amount of Educational Scrip"
This scrip is printed in sheets represent
ing so, and each piece is worth 20 cents
in Populist literature.
On the back of each % cent piece of
scrip is printed list of Populist books
and papers aud their price for which the
scrip will be accepted in payment.
Several thousand dollars worth of the
scrip has already been purchased, most
of it by the party leaders in the western
part of the state and large per cent OF
the amount purchased has come back in
payment for books and papers, ordered.
The state central committee has made
contracts with the publishing houses is
suing this literature and a certain per
cent of the profits goes to the CONT ittee
to form a nucleus Of campaign fund
Secretary Semple says the indications
are that Senator Tillman's speech will be
more widely read than any other docu-
ment now published. This is the way
the Populist leaders carry on their cam
paign of education.

GREAT AND NOISY CROWDS.
virginia VIII Probably Vote Once
for Blackburn.

CHICAGO, ILL, July 9.-(Special)-
The prospects of hearing nominating
speeches filled the convention hall tonight
with a wonderfully large and fearfully
noisy crowd. The name Of Boies received
the greatest applause, chiefly. however.
because it was led by pretty girl in the
gallery, who waved a nag.
One of the speakers this evening was
Congressman Bailey, OF Texas, whose
recent visit to Richmond will be well re-
membered, and who seconded the nominal
ton of Bland. When Virginia was called,
Chairman Jones, standing upon chair,
said, 1.-The Democrats OF Virginia, in
convention assembled, requested her dele
cation in this body to present the name
OF her favorite son, John Warwick Daniel,
(applause), but at his earnest request and
upon his insistence. his name will not be
presented. and. therefore, Virginia has
no candidate TO present"
VIRGINIA AND BLACKBURN.
Senator Daniel occupied a seat tonight
on the floor Of the Virginia delegation,
and got the assent OF a majority of the
delegates TO east the first vote for Joe
Blackburn, but when II comes to serious
work. the likelihood is that Virginia will
vote for Byran, though the Bland men are
still hopeful that Virginia will not go
back upon their candidate.
The adjournment tonight at l2:35. be-
fore a ballot was taken, was planned by
the anti-Bryan men to cool off the con-
vention from the effect of Bryan's mag
seem that the nomination will be made
tomorrow, albeit tomorrow is Friday.
