O'Clock to-day, when the committee re-
port was expected. The convention reas-
sembled at 10 o'clock this morning, when
ex-senator Martin made a report of the
joint conference committees session yes
terday, which announced that no agree
ment had been reached. On Martins mo-
ton that a further adjournment until 2
o'clock be taken, the convention took
recess to await further developments.

definite was heard and another recess un-
til evening was taken. Tonight the report
of the conference committee was received
and adopted. The democrats endorse the
populist state ticket, and the populisfs
endorse Bryan and Sewall electors. The
populist state ticket so far as received
was endorsed by the convention.
After listening to speeches by Jerry
