has given him a clear insight into
the requirements necessary for the
successful ministration of the
Office for which he is candidate.
He is a member in good standing
of several fratcrnal organizations,
namely, the A. +. & A. NJ, the
K. of p, the A. q. L. W., the
Modern Woodmcn and the Travel
ers Protective Association. While
his connection with these orders
is not for political purposes, they
serve to give him easy access to the
friendship and fraternal regard OF
their members and win their sup
port as individuals.
MIR. Ramsey does not enter the
contest for the nomination without
strong support from his own sec
ton of the State. He has the en-
dorscment of the Republican mass
conventions of Washington, St.
Francois and several other counties
in southeast Missouri, as well az
the endorsement of the 18th distfic1
congressional convention held al
Marshfeld on April 30th.
We believe the Republican part,
of Missouri should extend SOM
recognition to the young Republi
cans of the State, and encourage
their adherence to the party BY
giving them place on the Stat
ticket. The nomination of Mr.
Ramsey would be a graceful com
plin1ent to the rising Republican
voters of Missouri.

THERE is considerable dissatis-
faction among the Democrats ovcl
the selection of delegates to the
congressional convention. Six OF
the delegates were taken from
Potosi while the county was only
given four. A prominent party
man from the south end wanted te
90 to Salem as a delegate, but the
local machine which controls tho
party and manages things to suit it
self. promptly sat down on thi:
gentleman for reasons not ex
pla'red.

The answer to the question: Why
does a horse get up fore part first

by two bearing a banner inscribed

cheered, shouted and waved hats and fans.
The spectators in the galleries joined in
the shouting and cheering.
Washburn of Massachusetts, offered the
following resolution:
WHEREAS, We are all Populists, and whereas
we deprecate the attack which has appeared
in some -1ewspapers that there is disposition
on the part OF some of thIs convention not to
abide by the action of the convention; there

Resolved, That we repudiste all such utter
ances as are reflections upon the fidelity of the
members of this convention of the Peoples
party.
Strong opposition Immediately devel-
oped to this motion on the part of dele
gates from the Southern States. and the
point of order was made that the conven.

the motion was not a proper one.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 23.--The delegates
to the Silver convention were slow in
assembling this morning. Members OF the
committee appointed yesterday to confer
with the Populists were, however, early
on hand and held a caucus back Of the
chairman's desk, while the hall was slowly
filling with delegates.
1t was 1880 when the convention was
called to order by Chairman st. John.
A motion was made and carried that a
committee on ways and means be ap-
pointed. Newlands made the motion n.
explaining that he understood that the ex-
penses of the convention had not been pro-
vlded for, and committee was necessary
for that purpose.
Chairman St. John then introduced to
the convention its vice-chairman, Hon.
Charles A. Towne of Minnesota, who re-
ceived great applause.
Mr.. Towne said in part:
The situation of our affairs is most grave.
The San Francisco call., 1896-07-24

was still unready. and the services of the
band had to be called into requisition.
1t was half-past 8 when Senator Butler
called the convention to order and stated
that the committee on credentials was
prepared TO make partial report. There
upon Mr.. Wardall of California, chairman
OF the com mittee, submitted a majority
report, recommending that the delegates
be recognized in all the uncontested cases
that in the cases of the first seven
Illinois Congressional districts both con-
testants and contestees be seated, lwith
a half vote, and that, in the. case of Colo
rado, the delegates known as the Patter-
son delegates be seated.

Men long entrusted with power have come to
regard themselves as the source of it and their
own selfish advantage as the proper object of
1t. Every instfumentality that could minister
TO it has been pressed into service. Industrial,
social and political forces have been adroitly
used, not only to bestow rich results upon
the manipulators, but to give the process all
the appearance Of natural and orderly evolu-
ton. Laws have been compelled to speak the
will of class instead of the fiat of the people.
Legislatures and administrations have been
puppets, and recently, for the first time in the
history of our institutions, the tide of suspicion
has even risen about the judiciary and threat
ems to undermine the very bulwark OF the con-
stitution, while the press, by the sacrifices and
through the wisdom Of the fathers made trees

FIRST TEST OF STRENGTH.
Bryan Forces Win the Preliminary
Skirmish by the Defeat OF
Campion for Chairman.


ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 23.-It was not
till late in the evening that any substan-
tial progress was made by the Peoples
party convention All the morning and
afternoon were frittered away in disputes
over contested seats and similar trivial
matters The business OF the convention
was further much bampered by the lack
of familiarity with parliamentary law
with which both the temporary presiding
officers seemed equally afflicted.
1t was nearly O'Clock when decisive
test of strength between the Bryan and
anti-Brvan forces was brought about. 1t
came UP on the report OF the committee
on permanent organization. The Bryan
men named Senator Allen of Nebraska for
permanent chairman. The middle-of-the-
road and anti-Bryan men united upon
James E. Campion of Maine, stated to be
one of the ablest parliamentarians in the
BODY. On call of States the Bryan men
carried the day by decisive vote of 758
to 564
The middle-of-the-road men yielded
gracefully, "Cyclone" Davis, the most
active opponent of Mr.. Bryan, introducing
Senator Allen to the convention. The
permanent chairman soon restored order
to the proceedings and pushed them along,
previously making characteristic speech
Of an hour or more duration.
The committee on rules reported in
favor OF limiting the nominating speeches
tomorrow to ten minutes Tor proposers
and five minutes for seconders.
After some little opposition committee
of conference was authorized to meet a
similar committee appointed by the Silver
party's convention and at 10:0S P. NJ the
PopuIists adjourned until tomorrow when
they may possibly succeed in adopting a
platform, nominating q ticket and ad-
iourning.

been assigned on the tickets issued, and he
said that there were counterfeit badges out
besides. The chairman ruled the motion
out OF order on the ground that it would
violate the contract made with the busi-
ness men of st. Louis. The ruling was
loudly applauded.
This was followed by number of mo-
tions, and the chair became involved in a
hopeless parliamentary tangle, from which
he finally extricated himself by declaring
the motion tabled.
1t was announced that the Committee
on Credentials would not be able to report
until 8 P. NJ. A motion was at once made
to take q recess until that hour. but in

SECOND DAYS STRUGGLE.
Some Music and Cheers While the
Report of the Credentials Com
mittee Is Awaited

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 23-The day
opened clear and pleasant as far as the
weather was concerned. but not so clear
and pleasant as far as the delegates to the
Populist Convention were concerned.
Both the Bryan and anti BRYAN men came
up determined and defiant. Both sides
claim to have the victory, but neither side
could prove its claims. 1t was generally
admitted that the first test vote would be
on the report of the credential committee,
and that until that vote was taken it would
be impossible to properly gauge the
strength of the two factions.
The delegates were prompt in assem-
bling, ana Chairman Butler called the
convention to order at IL minutes past 10
o'clock.
At that time the body of the hall was
about two-thirds full, although there were
probably not 200 persons present in the
visitors gallery. The convention was
opened with prayer by Rev. Mr.. Smith.
The chairman announced that the first
thing in order was the report of the cre-
dentiaIs committee.
He called for the report of the committee
on credentials, but the report was not
ready. Then it was ordered that the roll
of States be called for members of the
committee on permanent organization,
and this was done.
While this was in progress the delegates
began to take off their coats and vests, as
the heat had become very oppressive.
After the selection of the committee on
permanent organization bad been made
the committee on resolutions was ap-
Yointad and hoth comm ittees refirad for
consultation.
While the convention was waiting for
tie return of the committees delegate
from Oklahoma took the platform and en-
tertained the members with song. He
was followed by Mrs. Pennington of Ark
ansas, who was introduced by Delegate
George T. Gother of Alabama and who
sang Populist song.
While the call of committeeman was

The minority report was then read, pre-
senting the name Of James Caapion of
Maine as permanent chairman. Cheers
and applause from the middle-of-the-road
section.]
The excitement lasted for fully ten min
utes, the guidons of Alabama, Mississippi,
Ohio, Tennessee and other States and the
middle-of-the-road banners being carried
around in tumuituous procession in imita-
ton of the scene at the Democratic Con-
vention at Chicago when Bryan was
nominated.

RULES FOR ARBITRATORS.
Basis Upon Which Venezuelan Dis
pnte is to be Settled.

London. Nov. 19.-The Chronicle re
ports that the following are the rules
for the arbitrator forming a part of
the Venezuela agreement:
First-An adverse holding or pre-
scription during so years shall make a
good title The arbiters deem an ex-
elusive political control of a district, as
well as actual settlement, sufficient to
constitute an adverse holding or to make
a title by prescription.
The second rule empowers the arbi-
ters to give effect to rights and claims
based on any valid principle of interna-
tional law which does not contravene
the foregoing rules.
Third-In determining the boundary
line where the territory of party is
found to be occupied by the subjects
Of the other party al the date of the
treaty, such effect shall be given to
such occupation as reason, justice, the
principles Of international law and the
equities Of the case shall, in the opin-
ion of the tribunal require.

PALMER no LEAVE \. YORK
The Theatrical Manager Will Abandon
His Interests There.

New York Nov. 1s.-The Herald this
morning says:
Mr.. A. NJ. Palmer's day as one of the
foremost New York theatrical managers,
a distinction he has enjoyed for many
years, is practically at an end.
His lease of Planners theater in this
city expires shortly, on December l. It
is not likely it viii be renewed In fact,
it is practically settled that he viii aban-
don his interests here and take up his
home in Chicago, where only a few days
ago the Great Northern theater was
opened under his management.
Mr.. Palmer is i'll in Chicago, but his
representative, MI H. c. Jarret made
the following statement last night:
Mr.. Paimer's lease of his theater in
New York viii expire December / and
the probabilities are he viii not renew it.
The house has not been paying and has
been alternately opened and closed and
the chances are that Mr.. Palmer win quit
New York altogether and go to Chicago
to live. 1 do not say this positively, and
I have not had a business talk with Mr..
Palmer on the subject, but I know the
condition of affairs and mention to you
the probabilities. He has the Great
Northern theater in Chicago. one of the
most beautiful in the country, and its
future cannot be other than a bright
one"
