vontion in the direction OF ndorsing silver
and the Chicago Democratic ticket
The first test vote in the Popullst con
vontiOn came on the vote for permanent
chairman. The majority report of the
committee on permanent organization was
brought forward The majority recon-
mended the selection of Senator Allen, the
Nebraska Populist, who, during the battle
in congress over the repeal Of the silver
purchasing clause of the Sherman silver
law made the longest continuous speech
on record in the senate, holding the foor
for 10 hours. The anti-B Bryan meh pitted
against the Nebraska senator james Cam
pion Of Maine, man practically unknown
oven 10 the middle Of the road contingent,
who entered him in the lists. Still they
rallied to his support every vote at their
command, and they were deteated-75S to
564.
The following list will show the geo.
graphical location of the Bryan strength,
the states boing classified according to
the majority Of their votes;
For Allen-Colorado, Connections, Della
ware, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Mas
saohusetts, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada,
New Hampshire New Jersey. New York,
North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania,
South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, West Vir-
ginia, Virginia Wisconsin, New Mexico,
District OF Columbia and Arizona.
For Campion - Alabama. California,
Georgia, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota,
Mississippi, Missouri Ohio, Rhode Island,
Texas Vermont, Washington and Indian
Territory.
The votes of North Carolina. Wyoming
and Oklahoma were equally divided. The
announcement of this triumph was the
signal for an uproarious Bryan demon
stration which lasted,iS minutes. Senator
Aliens speech as permanent chairman oo-
cupied over an hour In many respects II
was bitter enough to suit the most radical.
When no finished, the convention took q
recess.
The situation remains practically un-
changed Although the Bryan forces are
in control and his nomination OF indorso
ment seems TO be assured the defeat OF
Sewall still stares them in the face.

CONVENTION IN DETAIL.
Warm Contests over Contested Seats and
the Permanent Organization.

Warm Contests Over Contested Seats and
the Permanent Organization.
ST. LOUIS, July 24.-The second session
of the Peoples Party convention was
called to order by Temporary Chairman
Butler, and prayer was offered by the
Rev DIR. Smith of this city.
Much delay in the proceedings was oc-
casioned by the fact that the committee
on credentials was not ready to report
which prevented the final making up of
the permanent roll Of delegates.
Finally the committee on credentials
was prepared to report and the actual
work of the session was begun.
Mr.. Wardell of California, chairman Of
the credentials committee, read the report
The portion OF the report relative to dele
cations whore there were no contests was
agreed Co, and then the trouble began.
The principal fight was over the Cook
comfy (Ills) contest The majority re-
port recommended that the two delega-
tions from Cook county be seated and the
vote divided. The minority, signed by IA
members of the committee, recommended
that DIR. Taylor's delegation be seated.
Aftor hoated discussion the convention
voted to sustain the majority report OF
tho committee by vote OF 600 TO GAP.
Tho report of the committee on porma-
nent organization was then read The an
nouncement of the selection OF Senator
Allen Of Nebraska for permanent chair
man was the signal for a wild Bryan dem
onstration, which lasted several minutes.
John W. Hayes of New Jersey was selected
for secretary, and the other temporary Off
rers were mnde permanent. The. minority
report naming James f. Campion of
Maine for permanent chairman set the
middle Of the road men on fire. The Texas
and Georgia delegates climbed on to their
chairs and yelled like Indians. Several
large middle of the road banners were pa
raded through the aisles Tho western
delegates as a rule took no part in the
demonstration. Ono of the Georgia dele
gates pulled up his state standard and fol
lowed the middle Of the road banner,
which was held aloft by two members OF
the delegation, one white and one coiored.
The standards of Texas, Arkansas, ONO,
Mississippi, Missouri and several other
states joined the procession. In scufiie
for the possession of the Alabama guidon
the staff was broken and a free fight al
most precipitated. Bedlam reigned for
ten minutes When order was at last re-
stored, the names of the signers of the mi
nority report were read When the name
Of the Illinois member of the committee
was rend that delegate jumped up and
announced that his signature was forged.
His name was withdrawn.
