rival of L. c. Bateman, the nominee on

DENoUNoE ELECTION STEALS,
Populist Editors Condemn Democrats
and Republicans and Favor
Separate Action.

st. Louis, July 22.-The resolutions of
the reform press association adopted
yesterday refer to the splits in the Re
publican and Democratic conventions
as due to the educational work Of the
reform press, supplemented by the
work of the able speakers and workers
in the Peoples Party ranks.
The maintenance of the unity of the
Peoples Party and the continuance of
its integrity as an organization is de-
clared to be the one central thought OF
all true Populists. 1t is declared to be
the duty of the organization to stand
by the POpuhSts of the south in their
fight against outrages at the ballot box
as shown in the Investigations OF the
last congress.
The resolutions recite that all true
Populists remember that Watson has
been twice counted out in Georgia that
Alabama was bodily stolen and the
Will of the people ruthlessly set aside,
while Mississippi has diSfranchised
tWo-thirds Of the people of that state
in a determined effort to continue the
bondage of the masses to the classes.
The resolution then adds: And we
denounce with emphasis the ballot box
Outrages and classification of returns
by the Republicans of Washington, Ne
braska, Oregon, Kansas and other
northern states by which the popular
will has been subverted and the PeO-
pies Party cheated of it's victories.
There can be no republic like that con-
templated by the revolutionary faith
ers of 1916 until these evils are rene
died. Let US listen to the voice of the
south: let US as a political party have
the dignity to maintain our indepen-
dence, let US conduct our proceedings
regardless of the existence of the two
old parties except to remember that
as judged by their acts and that by
their fruits shall We know them, that
they are the tools of the classes and
have steadily legiSlated against the
welfare of the masses. Above all, we
declare this national convention is not
a Democratic or Republican ratifica-
ton meeting"
The minority presented the following
against the resolutions, but it was not
submitted to a vote:

we are in accord, but believe the only
way to relieve the people of the coun-

CONTESTANTS FIGHT.
Police Had to Stop QuarreIs in POpu-
list National Committee.

St. Louis, July 22.-The national Pop
uIist committee at its afternoon meet
ing yesterday took up the various con-
tests for seats, the Illinois contest being
the first in order. This contest involves
the seats of . delegates from the con-
gressiOnal districts comprised in the
city Of Chicago.
One of the delegations was headed
by H. S. Taylor and the other by Will
liam Burns, who is an officer of the
American Railway union, was impris-
Oned with Eugene V. Debs after the
Chicago strike. The contest was de-
cided by the adoption by the commit
tee of a motion offered by Ignatius
Donnelly giving each member of both
delegations half vote, the vote in IA
vOr of this motion being 40 to IS.
The hearing in the Ohio case follow
ed. Their controversy applies to the
Nineteenth Ohio district involving
three district seats and Indirectly the
seat of one delegate at large. The dis
trict contestants on one side were R.
NJ Smith, J. B. Miller and Carl NJ.
Newton and on the other J. H. NJ.
Frederick, J. c. DOOlittle and M H.
Webster. The only issue was as to the
regularity of the call for the two con-
ventiOns. The Smith convention was
called by the state committee and the
Frederick convention by the congress
sional committee. The national com
mittee took the position that the con-
gressiOnal call was regular and seated
the Frederick delegation. This decis-
ion had the effect of deciding the state
contest between Hugo Pryor and John
Siles in favor of Pryor.
Police were stationed outside the
doors of the halls in which the national
committee held its evening session and
they were frequently in demand to
prevent personal encounters between
the cOntesting delegations from Chi
cago. There was one fisticuff between
DR.. H. S. Taylor, the leader of the
regulars, and Seymour Stedman of the
opposing delegation Neither was hurt
but as it was evident some one was
likely to be the police were called.
The Illinois case was again under
consideration in the committee which
had decided to reopen the contests up
on the request Of the members of the
delegations whose seats were not con-
tested and who had Unanimously de-
clared the Taylor faction were entitled
to the seats. After an hours delibera-
ton the committee reversed its decis-
ion of the afternoon which gave a half
vote to each member of both delega-
lions. The vote was 80 to "a to seat
the Taylor delegates. The defeated
faction now declare that the commit
tee was packed and that last nights
action was necessary to sustain Mr.
Taubeneck in his position of national
chairman. The Taubeneck-Taylor peo-
pie were very much elated over the re-
suit.

BRYAN AT. OMAHA.
Says Those Who Call Names SANDER
the American People.

Omaha, July 22.-Upon the occasion
Of his first visit to Omaha since his
nomination, W. J. Bryan was last even
ing rendered a magnificent ovation, en-
tirely non-pa partisan in it's tenor and
character. He left Lincoln at p. m,
accompanied by a couple of friends and
half dozen newspaper representatives.
At the stations along the line there were
small crowds awaiting a glimpse of the
candidate.
When the train rolled into Omaha at
7:45 p. m. there was a cheering, howl
ing assembly of men, women and chill
dren, whose vocal efforts drowned the
music of the First Infantry band.
Thousands of people on both sides of
the streets along the long drive to the
central portion of the city seemed bent
on smothering the performances OF the
band with shouting and fog-horn cho-
ruses.
A large platform had been erected at
Fifteenth and Douglas streets, deco
rated with bunting and streamers.
Around it was assembled a vast crowd
of people and the roofs and windows
of adjoining buildings were filed with
spectators. The appearance of Mr..
Bryan was the signal for prolonged and
hearty cheering that continued at brief
intervals until Judge Doane invited or
der. Judge Doane introduced Mayor
Broatch, Republican, who delivered an
When Mr.. Bryan mounted a table
upon the platform it was several min
yates before his gestures hushed the
uproar and his remarks were frequent
~ interrupted by cheers.
Mr.. Bryan thanked the people for
their manifestations of good will and
referred pleasantly to the non partisan
nature of his reception, and then said:
IF you speak in complimentary terms
of myself say to you every good word
you say of me can repeat Of my oppO-
nent. Major Mckinley. If you tell me
that you believe honestly indOrSe the
I stand, I tell you I believe my oppO-
nent indOrses the principles in the plat
form he stands upon, and tell you if
any men charge the American people
of another party with being anarchists
and disloyal American citizens they
SANDER the bravest people who ever
lived.
But we are not dismayed at the use
of epithets, because I know that the
great majority of Republicans and Pop
ulists, and Democrats as well. regard
the use of abusive terms without argu-
ment as disreputabIe We shall go
into this campaign lighting for what
we believe to be right, and the mat
ter shall be determined by the sober
sense of the American people and they
shall register their verdict in favor Of
that party which they believe best for
the American people"
Mr.. Bryan's speech was a short one
He had little to say of political matters,
but addressed the vast thrOng as fell
low ebraskans, who he thought must
join with him in rejoicing in the honor
conferred upon their state by the Dem
ocratic convention when it came across
the Missouri river for the first time
to select its candidate for the highest
office within the gift of the American
people.
At the close OF his talk Mr.. Bryan
was again subjected to the hand-shak-
ing ordeal.
Mr. Bryan will visit Council Bluffs
about noon today and will return to
Lincoln in the evening.

Senator Wilson of Washington Will
Take the Stunn.

Seattle, Wash, July 22.-United States
Senator John L. Wilson of Spokane ar
rived in Seattle today and for the first
time since his return from the national
capital outlined his course in the cam
paign now on. Substantially he re-
cedes from his position in the senate,
where he voted regularly in support Of
free silver measures. He now proposes
to take the stump for Mckinley and
HObert, insisting that the state conven-
ton declare for bimetallism along the
lines of an international agreement. or
in other words, a single gold standard.

tor began, ''it is a mistake to charge

MAKES NO PLEDGES.
Bryan Says He Promised Nothing to
Democrats, Promises Nothing to
Populists

st. Louis, July 22-Arrivals from
Lincoln, to which place there are not
a few pilgrimages these days, report
that Mr.. Bryan still declines to make
any concessions or pledges for Popu
list support. He tells all he is not in
different to the Endorsement of the
Populist convention. but believes he
viii be elected whether made the ex-
pressed object of the regard of the con-
vention or not, and adds that, as he
was named by the Democrats without
making pledges in the way of appoint
ments, he cannot and will not make
any pledges to secure nominations or
even to secure the election, but that
Populists as well as others must rely
upon him to treat them fairly in case
of his success at the polls.
Senator Jones takes a somewhat more
conservative view and appears to feel
that the POpulist Endorsement would
be a very pleasant assurance at this
time.

bark, Lake Ontario, which arrived at
this port yesterday from the west coast
of South America, experienced a pleas
ant run until on Monday last, when
thousands of Carolina mosquitoes from
the vicinity of Cape Hatteras boarded
the vessel, taking almost absolute pos

duty to their quarters.
The crew were forced to sleep aloft
in hammocks stretched between the
masts, but even then they were not be-

way up the Delaware river the mosQui-
toes suddenly left, and when the On
tario reached Port Richmond none
