BORDERING ON ACTUAL RIOT
Such is the Terse Description of Tur-
bulent Scenes Toward Close of
POpulist Convention.
SENATOR ALIENS WISE SUGGESTION
Granting of Plenary Power to National
Committee May Prove the Key to
Complications Caused by Nomi-
nation of Tom Watson.

st. Louis, July 27.-The last session of
the Populist national convention, which
adjourned sine die at O'Clock on. Satur-
day was marked by scenes of turbulence
and noisy excitement, which several times
bordered on actual riot, and which al
most precipitated personal collisions.
For six hours the convention was deluged
with oratory. Almost every state and
territory had it's inning on the platform.
Almost every speaker seconded Bryan's
nomination About fifty seconding
speeches were made, and some of them
we're both eloquent and brilliant.
ALIENS LONG HEAD.
Upon the suggestion of Senator Allen,
motion was carried, in the confusion
just before the ballot was taken, that
may prove the key by which the compli-
cation attending the desired union of all
the silver forces may be unlocked. 1t was
motion comforting upon the national
committee plenary powers, all the power,
as the motion stated, of the convention
itself. Some of the radicals pricked up
their ears when the motion was put and
there was vague protest, but it is certain
that the rank and file OF the convention
did not realize its full import.
After Bryan's nomination by a vote of
1,042 to 321 for Norton, the Chicago Pop
ulist, the convention was quickly ad-
journed and the radicals in the Texas,
Arkansas, California, Illinois and Maine
delegations proceeded to organize their
stump" convention.
WATSON MAY WITHDRAW.
As to the future none of the wiseacres
pretend to predict with certainty what
the result will be. Whether fusion can
be arranged, or upon what basis, of
course, is speculated upon. Whether Mr..
Bryan will decline the nomination is can
vassed. The shrewdest of political OBJ
servers and those who are most anxious
for union of the silver forces can see
this result only in the withdrawal of one
of the vice presidential candidates. There
is, as there has been for some days, talk
of Sewall's voluntary withdrawal, but
after the stand Mr.. Bryan and Senator
Jones have taken this is not considered
probable, 1t is strongly intimated that
Watson may be induced to withdraw in
the interest of such union. By confer
ring upon the national Populist comlttee
plenary powers those who are 80 earn
estly striving for an actual consolidation
of the strength of the silver forces Gre
nted the machinery by which any sort of
terms can be arranged to unite all friends
of free coinage in the election of Bryan
and Sewall.

Two Opinions.

st. Louis.-Thos. M. Patterson, of Colo
RADIO, and Ignatius Donnelly, of Mime
sofa, Populists, have each given out to
the Associated Press statements of their
views on the outcome of the conventions
work. Patterson thinks disaster may re-
suit by placing two electoral tickets in
the field for the same president and diff
ferent vice. presidents. "But," he adds,
sin this election the Populists are going
to be practical, rather than political.
They know they want free coinage, and
though they may admire Watson greatly
they will not waste their votes on a
ticket that they may elect him to an Of
flee without responsibility, influence, or
patronage. believe Bryan and Sewall
will carry every state west of the Mis-
souri, river and several of the middle
states. Southern silver men will see that
they lose no votes in their sectlon."
Ignatius Donnelly says:
II think the situation is in good shape
and that nine. tenths of the delegates will
go home satisfied. Having nominated
Mr.. Bryan, we should not call upon him
to accept or reject our platform or to re-
pudiate or defend Mr.. Sswall. If this
were an intent to merge the Populist
party into the Democratic party per-
feet identity of opinions and principles
would be necessary; it is not true. We
remain in our camp and our own terri
tory, and simply agree to transfer for
this campaign our 100000 or 100000
votes to Mr.. Bryan. Not on the basis of
the Democratic platform, but on the
basis of Mr.. Bryan's worth. Every Pop
ulist in the United States will, believe,
vote for Mr.. Watson. If the Democrats
don't withdraw Mr.. Sewall there will be
no election of vice-president at the ballot
box and the matter will 90 into the SEN
ate, where the Populists hold the balance
OF power and will compel the election of

plan is for the Populist in the state con-
vention, on August 5, to indorse the Bry-
an and Sewall electors, whom the Demo-
Gratis will name at Hutchinson the pre-
ceding day. We will nominate our can
didates for state Offices and telegraph the
Democrats the result. They will indorse
our nominees and We will indorse theirs"

also carry every western state and will
carry Kansas by $4,000 majority.

The Record Union" yesterday

litical complexion of each and the ad-
dresses Of the nominees These are all
verified by reports of conventions and
Independent candidates. reported and
announced in the papers of the several
counties, which come weekly and daily
to this Office. In some cases the list is
compiled from official responses to ap-
plication. and in others where the
county press failed of full report the
items were secured by wire.
There is every reason, therefore, to
believe that our compilation, made
with great care and much painstaking
is accurate 1t is possible that one OF
two Independent candidates. may not
have been announced in the country
list correctly made up.
On that basis, and after careful ex-
animation of the reported conditions
of canvasses made in all the districts
and the expressions of our exchanges
for two weeks past, and careful esti-
mate Of probable results, that the next
Legislature will be Republican in both
branches. This conclusion was further
fortified by advices received yesterday
and last evening from some heretofore
doubtful sections, and includes the al
ways doubtful outcome in the San
Francisco districts.

APPRECIATED SERVICES.
How Congressman Johnson Repre-
Sents the People.

The following letter from a prominent
lawyer in Solano County illustrates the
character of Congressman Grove L.
Johnson. 1t needs no comment:
Dixon, Solano County, October 18th.
Hon. Grove l.. Johnson, Sacramento
Dear Sir: / feel constrained at this
time to address you, sincerely wishing
you a glorious victory in your Congress
sional fight. I have just been reading
your speech made last night at Sacra-
nento as published in the Record
Union'' and most heartily indorse 1t.
That you never forgot to return
favor" and that you never fell down
on a friend" is as true as gospel. Even
outside of your own district you have
done good work, and I thank you for
your good services rendered at Wash
ington in a case in which 1 was inter
ested and which was rendered by you
cheerfully and promptly. and your power
and influence for the enforcement OF
justice and right was felt both at Wash
ington and San Francisco on that occa-
sion and had a wholesome effect.
Anything that / can do to help your
canvass shall be done cheerfully; 1
would be ungrateful If I did not do So
I frequently meet some Of your consti-
tuents and I do not fail to put in good
word for you. I wish Solano County
was in your district SO that l could do
more for you. / hope never to forget
favor, etc.
You should be elected by an increased
majority over your last election. We
want such men in Congress as you are.
You have labored faithfully for the good
of the whole State and your Congress
sional District ought to feel proud OF
their Representative who worked so
faithfully in season and out of season
for their good and for the good OF the
people of the State at large. You COM
manded respect and attention in Con-
gress from the time you made your hrst
speech in that body and became great
power for the good and welfare OF the
farmer and miner alike and consequent
ly for the interest of the business man,
merchant, mechanic and laborer.
Hoping that you will be rewarded by
being returned as Congressman on No
vember Sd next by an overwhelming
majority anything that I can do to ac-
complish 1t shall be done. Yours re-
spectfully. ALBERT MANNING.
