A Day WITHOUT RESULT
No Night Session of the POpuliSt
National Convention.
SHUT OUT FOR LACK OF LIGHT
The Opposition to Senator Butler for Tenn
porary Chairman Failed to Take Action.
Indications Of Bryan's Endorsement
and of q Bolt Of the ~straightouts.

ST. LOUIS, July 23.-Thc Populist and
silver conventions were launched yester-
day, but neither made much Roadway.
The program of the silver convention was
all arranged in advance. II included
simply the election of William p. st.
John, the New York banker, as permana-
nent chairman, the adoption of n is to l
platform, and the nomination of Bryan
and Sewall, but those in charge of 1t
deemed 1t good policy to go slowly, in the
belief that they might, by remaining in
session, be able to exercise an influence in
shaping things in the Populist conven-
ton. To this end they appointed q com
mittee Of seven, headed by Judge Scott, of
California, to meet with a similar com
mittee from the Populists for the purpose
of reaching u common plan of action. The
idea was, perhaps, well conceived, although
it is doubtful whether their course will be
fruitful Of results. The silver convention
took u recess at 6 10 p. IN. until today.
The anti-Bryan Populists affect to be-
lieve that all the outside influences which
are being brought to bear upon them to
induce them to accept the nominees of the
Democratic convention are part of the
same plot to drive their party into the
Democratic trap" and destroy and ami
hilate its identity. They are deaf to sug-
gestions, appeals and warnings. The fu-
ture has no t%errOrs, for keep in the mid
die of the road is their reply to every
argument, their answer to every forebod-
ing. They have convinced themselves that
if they GO marching on in four years more
the two old parties will be shattered, dis
rupted and discredited, and they will come
into their own"

The largest crowds that ever assembled at
Maysville park, were in attendance at the
two grand concerts given by the Grant Band
yesterday. The afternoon audience was
estimated at 5000 persons, and would have
been much larger had it not been for the
many attractions at Indian park, whore the
annual picnic of the merchants of ShamOkin
was being held. The evening concert was
attended by fully 5000 people, who enjoyed
the concert highly and encored the band ON
the rendition of several Of its selections.
The band returned to town at 1925 o'clock
this morning, and speak very highly Of the
treatment they received, both at the hands
of the electric railway company and the
public. AT 5 o'clock in the evening they
were taken to Shamokin in a special trolley
car where supper was served at one of the
leading hotels. During their short stay
there they screnaded several prominent
citizens.

pointment to those who imagined that the
galleries would swarm with people, drawn
thither with curiosity or sympathy with
the deliberations of the convention. There
was no wildcat fighting, and the galleries,
which will hold 1900 people, were practi-
cally an empty waste. Not over 500 spec
tators, at "A liberal estimate, were in the
balconies, The floor, where the delegates
were gathered, was in some respects
crowded with as unique an assemblage as
was ever massed under one roo A sin
gle glance showed that they represented
the common people-a term in which they
glory-that they came from the farm, the
mine, the workshop md the factory.
They discarded conventionalities. Fully
half of them sat in their shirt sleeves with
their coats slung over the backs of their
chairs. Among them We're many pictur-
esque personalities. Men who have been
known as agitators and reformers for
years were there, but there was also many
whose ability and force of character have
given them rank in high station. Aga
body they were men of strong and earnest
convictions. Governor Llewelling, Sena-
tor PETER and Jerry Simpson of Kansas,
Governor Holcomb of Nebraska, IgnHtius
Donnelly of Minnesota, Cyclone Davis
of Texas, Colonel Peak of Georgia, Gen
eral Coxey and Carl Browne of Ohio, late
of the Industrial Army; Tom Patterson
of Colorado, ex- Governor Buchanan of Ten
nessee, General Weaver of Iowa and Gen
eral Field of Virginia, who were the Popu-
list candidates in 1892 Colonel Burkett of
Mississippi, Buffalo" Jones Of Oklahoma,
Captain Reuben Kolb, Congressman How
ard and Colonel Bowman of Alabama, and
many others were prominent me con
spicuous figures on the floor. On the plat
form were Chairman Taubeneck, Senator
Butler of North Carolina, Senator Allen
Of Nebraska, Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease of
Kansas, and other distinguished guests.
The appearance of several women dele
gates on the floor was a novel feature in a
national political gathering.
The decorations of the Republican con
vention still graced the balconies and hid
the wooden rafters and pillars which up
held the high roof, All the Republican
portraits had been removed. Only the
bust of General Grant remained. Just be-
fore the convention was called to order
portraits of Abraham Lincoln and Peter
Cooper were hung out over the platform
gallery.
The day session, which lasted about an
hour and a half, developed nothing, except
that the noisy middle of the road con
tingent were afraid to put to the touch
their claims. Tuesday night after Sena-
tor Butler had been chosen temporary
chairman by the national committee and
they had ascertained that he favored
Bryan's nomination they at once decided
to depose him, as Senator Hill was deposed
by the Chicago convention. At the con-
clusiOn of an enthusiastic meeting they de-
termined to put forward as their candi-

wife and friends, to New York city. He
told them he would be back for prayer
meeting on Thursday evening. When
Thursday night came, and there was no
preacher to lead the members in prayer, they
became alarmed. Some Of the officers
of the church went to New York city
and hunted for their pastor, but failed to find
him.
Last Saturday Mrs. Williams received a
postal card from her husband, saying that he
would be home that evening. He wrote
that he had been having "A good time at the

meetings were.
Mrs. Williams became alarmed when her
husband failed to return saturday night.
She visited New York on Monday and re.
manned until yesterday, when she returned
to Long Branch just before the police
located her husband. While there Mrs.
Williams said she was afraid her husbands
mind had given away, as the result of over
work.
