Bryan Supporters Jubilant Over the
Days Work.

St. Louis, Mo-, July 22.-The Bryan
supporters are jubilant tonight. They
emonstrated after a stormy dav in
the Popuiist convention that they had
a majority of 104. They perfected
their organization, installed the can
didate, Senator Allen, of Nebraska. as
permanent chairman and took charge
of the machinery of the convention
and the committees.
The Silver convention at Music Hall
simply dawdled along, listening to the
speeches and transacting trivial bust
ness, in pursuance OF their pre-arrang-
ed programme, remaining in session
in the hope OF influencing the action
Of the Populist convention in the di-
rection of endorsing silver and the
Chicago Democratic ticket. There were
two sessions of the Populist conven-
ton, morning session of two hours
and an afternoon session of six hours.
The latter carried the convention
into the night Both were turbulentand
noisy but the tumult was confined to
the delegates on the floor, the galleries,
as of yesterday, being practically
empty. bitter feeling manifested
itself among the middle-of- the-road
faction which found vent in several
wild demonstrations and counter de-
monstrations.
The morning session was a virtual
blank so far as business was concerned.
The report Of the committee on Gre
dentials was not ready and the con-
vention listened to a baritone from
Oklahoma and "sweet singer from
Arkansas render some campaign paro-
dies on popular ballads.
There was also a dramatically ar
ranged middle-of-the-road demonstra-
ton which failed to arouse much en-

WEST VIRGINIA REPUBLICANS.

Parkersburg, w. Va, July 23.-The
Republican State convention to-day
nominated II. c. McWhorter, for Su-
preme Judge on the second ballot. J. B.
Fitch, of Monongahela, and S. B. Rath-
bone, of Writ, were nominated for
electors-at-large. After being in ses-
sion two days and two nights with un-
usually hot contests for the nomina-
tions, except for the head of the ticket,
the convention late adjourned sine die.

Especial )-The middle-of-the-road
men got it in the neck. They ex-
pected to elect their temporary chair
man by 315 majority and before the

North Carolina banner in the parade,

being too fresh.
When Senator Allen, who is Bryan's
closet friend, was made chairman by
a big majority, the ants We're sick.
The Texas and Georgia men, who are
most rampant, talk about bolting If
Bryan wins.
The Craftsmanship vote was regarded
as test vote. 1t was funny to see
the middle-of-the-road men, who de-
nounce the Democrats for going to
Maine for a candidate for Vice-Presi-
dent, trying TO elect an unheard of
Maine man as permanent chairman.

on the fence. Nearly every man OF
brains-Allen, Kyle, PETER, Weaver,
Jerry Simpson, Rencey, Field, Kolb,
and others are for endorsement of
Bryan. The opposition is lead by
sCyclone" Davis, a Texas freak who
could be silenced if the Democrats
would let him take Culberson's seat
in Congress, and Howard, of Alabama,
who showed his unworthiness by
writing the filthy book, IF Christ
Came to Congress-
But for the opposition of the South
the endorsement of Bryan would get
through like a breeze.
There are two causes that operate
to cause Southern men to want q
straight ticket
First, they have been in bad
and bitter warfare with Democrats
and much bad feeling has been
engendered. They say they have been
5 abused and nullifed by Democrats so
much that they Will have nothing to
do with them.
/ heard two Texas men say they
would vote for Mckinley if Bryan
should be endorsed.
A North Carolina Populist says Bry-
ans endorsement would give the State
to Mckinley, because the Populists are
SO prejudiced against the name Demo
crat
The second reason for the intense
opposition to endorsement is TO
be found in the fact that it would put
stop to fusion with the Republicans
on local officers.
There are many delegates here who
hold offices by the grace of Republi-
can support and as many more who
have pledges of Republican support if
the Populists will make nominations
and thereby enable Mckinley to win.
They would sell out the great cause
of financial reform to get position as
register of deeds. They are most ac-
tive for ticket.
The first class Of these men are at
heart anxious for silver. They will
do what is right before the end.
General Field, of Virginia, and Kolb,
of Alabama, are urging them to forget
prejudice and be magnanimous in or

THE Chicago Convention has given
the country the following planks on
Tariff and Income Tax which must
meet with the most cordial endorse
ment everywhere outside Of New Eng
land:
TARIFF.
We hold that the tariff duties
should be levied solely for the purpose
of revenue, and that taxation should be
limited to the needs OF the Government,
honestly and economically administer
ed. We denounce as disturbing to
business the Republican threat to re-
store the Mckinley law, which has
been twice condemned by the people
in National elections, and which, en-
acted under the false plea OF protec-
tion to home industries, proved pro-
life breeder OF trusts and monopolies,
enriched the few at the expense of the
many, restricted trade and deprived
the producers of the great American
staples of access to their natural mar
kets. Until the money question is set
tied, we are opposed to any agitation
for further changes in our tariff laws.
except such az are necessary to make
up the deficit in revenue caused by the
adverse decision Of the Supreme Court
on the income tax.
INCOME TAX.
There would have been no deficit in
Federal revenue during the last two
years but for the annulment by the SUI
preme Court of the income tax law,
placed upon the statute books by a
Democratic Congress. The obstruction
to an income tax, which the Supreme
Court discovered In the Consti-
tuition, after 1t had lain hidden for a
hundred years, must be removed, 10
the end that accumulated wealth may
be made to bear its share OF the bur-
dens OF the Government. We there
fore favor an amendment to the Fed
eral Constitution that will permit the
levy Of an income tax.
