When They Could No Longer Dam the Rushing River They Opened

ST. LOUIS, July 24.-When the sil verites gathered this morning it was with somewhat different feeling than prevailed at rthe adjournment last evening. The general idea obtained among the delegates that the Populists were in such wrangle that waiting for them to untangle would be useless. If anything that the silverites could possibly think of could serve to patch up the differences prevailing the Popu- list camp, they would be more than glad to rush in and furnish the needle and thread with which to make the entire piece good.
 After listening to many speeches it was apparent that the contents of the bottle were fermenting and late in the afternoon the cork popped out and the intoxicating fluid of Bryan and Sewall flooded everything.
 There was no time given to build rafts or to hoist umbrellas. The flood was on and in no time there came the freshet. ii
 The nomination of Bryan and Se- wall was as unanimous as it was pos ,cSfn n1rs &a ,n1y II, tolerance of the delegates found vent in actions and tones that could not be mistaken for dignity. The true boy nature left in man was unshackled and these delegates desired that it should be manifest to the world.
