way home from the Chicago convention
Yesterday. In an interview be scathingly
denounced the Chicago convention, say
ing:

candidate is raw man who has achieved
nothing in public or private life TO Mt him

$4,000 majority against the platform and
candidate. The Democratic party In 1858

ST. LOUIS, mo-, July 15.-As the time
approaches for the assembling of the Peo-
pies party National Convention the divi-
sion of sentiment between support OF
Bryan and independent action becomes
| sharply defined. At the party head
quarters there is uneasiness. Chairman
Taubeneck has committed himself to
Teller, while the burden of the majority OF
the kilograms and letters received there
favor the Endorsement of Bryan.
meeting of the National Committee is
called for Saturday morning. One serious
question which faces the PopuIists is the
attitude of the Silver party, whose repre-
sentative on the ground, DR.. ]. ]. Mott OF
North Carolina, practically confesses that
bis party will almost assuredly indorse
Bryan. This is a decided reversal of form
in comparison with the original policy OF
the Silver party.
DR.. Mott said to-day in answer to ques-
ton as to whether his party's convention
would indorse the Chicago nominee and
platform: 81 would not be surprised; in
fact expect that it will. All we want is
sllver's success, and the surest way OF get
ting it is the one we will adopt"
DIR. Mott sale there will be no side issues
the tariff or anything e-introduced
to interfere with the progress OF the con-
vention, though the fact that this would
be the first convention ever held by them
might prolong tie sessions at least two
days.
George P. Keeney. general organizer Of
the National Silver party, arrived to-day.
He is firmly of the opinion that his party
will indorse Bryan.
Cyclone" Davis, the Texas Populist, is
one of to-day's arrivals who opposes the
Endorsement of Bryan and favors Teller.
with Teller" said he, 1--WE could carry
all the Southern States, not one of which
will approve the Endorsement of Bryan.
The Populist party must maintain its own
Identity"
Z. V. Elliott, Montana Populist and q
leading knight of Labor, takes the oppo-
site view. 1--WE must insure the success
OF silver" he said. ''for that is the issue
before the people to-day. l am in favor OF
the election of Bryan, and shall work for
his Endorsement by the Peoples party"
Delegate Patton of Massachusetts is here
working for the Endorsement of Bryan.
Ex-Governor John P. Buchanan of Ten
nessee is also for Bryan: He said to-day
IAN Endorsement would not be returning
to the Democratic paruy-the party would
be returning to US. True Populism is pure
Democracy = Jeffersonian Democracy -
and the origin of The Peoples party was
the departure from pure Democracy by
the Democratic party when it allowed
Cleveland and the Eastern contingent tn
take the helm. In adopting the Populist
platform and nominating a man like
Bryan, the Democrats have returned to
principles of pure Democracy"
The silver party convention will have
1900 delegates.

VIII Break Up the Democratic
Party in Maine.
CHICAGO, Ill, July ia special dis
patch from Boston says that a correspond
ent for local paper had talk with
Speaker Reed at Old Orchard, Me-, yester-
day. When asked his opinion OF the CAM
paign outlook Mr.. Reed said:
II do not care to say much, but Mr..
Allen and myself are practically of the
same opinion, SO you had better interview
Mr.. Allen
Mr.. Allen, Mr.. Reeds closest political
friend and adviser, said: 1.-THE action OF
the Chicago convention in nominating
Mr.. Sewall for the Vice-Presidency on
silver platform after the Democrats OF
Maine had selected their candidates for
State and County offices on gold plat
form, is, to say the least, strange.
II do not think that Sewall will be able
to carry his own city, much less the State.
Apparently the only reason the Demo
Gratis nominated Sewall is. he is the only
wealthy Democrat in the East who favors
the free coinage of silver. and they think
that by his nomination they will be able
to draw Eastern voters. Possibly he may,
but do not think he will.
"In my opinion the nomination of
Sewall will be more than likely to break
up the organization of the Democratic
party in Maine. This will be the inevita-
BILE result, unless the Democratic State
campaign in Maine is conducted entirely
Independent of the National campaign. 5"
