seems to be strong among local popu-
lists that il the democratic ticket named
at Chicago is endorsed by the populist
national convention to be held here on
the 22d inst, it will only be after hard
fight.

nominate him. We figure it is best for
the silver cause to nominate Teller. He

Bryan we count on securing enough
electoral votes for oliver and will hold to-
gether and will select Teller or Bryan
for president. This Is the latest plan of
the populists."
