He made bitter attack upon the democratic party and advocated standing on an independent ticket. He was followed by other speakers, who urged standing for the peoples party is- sue first, last and all the time.
 The committee on credentials met fm- mediately after the adjournment and or ganized by electing Alonzo Wardell of California chairman and c. E. Palmer of Illinois secretary.
 The committee them adjourned to meet at D. m. at the LfndeH house.

NIGHT SESSION.
Delegates and Onlookers Sing and Jeer in
 Darkness.

Delegates and Onlookers Sing and Jeer in
 Darkness.
 When the populists got together in the convention hall this evening they were in trouble. No provision had been made for lighting the hall. Neither gas nor electricity gave ray of light. The can dles provided by the newspaper corre- spondeAts and the telegraph companies for their own use served to make the darkness intense and more picturesque. There was a full attendance on the floor and many spectators in the galleries. For half an hour humorously inclined people in the galleries and on the floor in- dulged in jokes at the expense of the populists and jeers and college yells pre- vailed.
 Some attempts at explanation were made from the chairman,s platform, but they were received with derision and hooting Finally some of the delegates started to sing the national anthem. Others joined in and the band played the accompaniment, and this restored better humor. The band continued to play and it was promised from the chairman's s stand that light would soon be forth coming.
 The real explanation of the trouble was that whoever was in charge of the ar engagements had neglected to engage ser vice for the evening from the electric light company until late this evening, when it was too late to turn on the cur rent without great risk, as preliminary tests of the circuits were necessary. Some suggestions of adjournment were made, but met with no favor, the crowd rather enjoying the darkness and the fun. sH
 The band kept up its music and the crowd shouted and varied the shouting with jeers and jocular remarks.
 This condition of things went on with out particle of light save from the few candles stuck on the reporters table and one on the chairman's table. Some negro melodies were intoned from different parts of the hall. John Browns Spirit Went Marching On' and college yells were indulged in.
 Finally the patience of the managers was exhausted, there was no prospect of the electric lights being turned on, and, yielding to the necessities of the case, it was announced at S:30 p. m. that the convention had adjourned until tomor- row at 10 a. m.

Bishop Curtis Resigns.

Wilmington, Del, July 22.-Rt. Rev. Alfred E. Curtis. D. D., bishop of the Catholic diocese of Wilmington, has for warded his resignation to Rome. This step was taken In accordance with his conviction that a; bishop should retire when he shall reach e certain age. Bish- op Curtis was formerly an Episcopalian divine of this diocese. where he was or dained in 1858. In 1870 he severed his and embraced the Catholic faith. Four years later he was ordained to the priest hood and after twelve years of earnest work in the Baltimore cathedral was consecrated bishop of Wilmington dio- cese in 1886. It Improbable that the pope will appoint him titular bishop of some Italian see.

 Telegram from Senator Teller.
 July 21. "I. N. Stevens, St. Louis:
 "The money question overshadows all others questions. On it's rightful deter imitation depends the prosperity of the people and the perpetuity of republican institutions All other questions must be subordinates to it. A vote for Bryan and Sewall is a vote for industrial and financial independence of the American people from foreign domination and con- trol, and they should have the support of all opponents of the gold standard. The sentiments contained in the tele gram were vigorously applauded.
 A delegation from Pennsylvania read the following letter from Ex-Congress- man J. c. Sibley, dated Franklin, Pa, July 20:
 T find it absolutely impossible to get to St. Louis. I hope success will attend the efforts of the friends to have only one ticket. Let the issue be squarely joined and the verdict of the people recorded" A motion to take recess caused some discussion.
 Judge Scott of Nebraska suggested an adjournment until tomorrow at 10 a. m. There was no necessity, he said, of.being in a hurry in this matter. It took the re- publican party whole week in this city to marry Grover Cleveland, and the democratic party week in Chicago to get a divorce from him. Laughter). The judge said he was a member of the committee on resolutions, a meeting of which would be held tonight to draft an address to the people, upon which the party could go to the country. That hn in would require time, he said, and with time such an address would be prepared He wanted the committee to write new declaration of independence. (Applause).
 Recess Agreed To.
 A recess until 4:30 o'clock this after noon was finally agreed to, and at 2:22 o'clock the convention separated.
 The committee on resolutions effected temporary organization immediately after the convention took a recess by the selection of Gen. A. J. Warner Of Ohio as chairman. An adjournment was had un- til o'clock tonight, at which time sub committee was appointed charged with the duty of preparing a platform.
 The committee on permanent organ ization agreed upon the New York ex- bank president, William P St. John, as permanent chairman, and Congressman Towne of Minnesota, who bolted the na- tiona1 republican convention along With Teller and others, as vice chairman. The further organization of the convention was completed as follows:
 Secretary, R. E. Dffenderfer of Penn- sylvania, with authority to select his as- sistants.
 Reading clerk Jeff Pollard of Missouri. Sergeant-at-arms, MT. Dowd Of Mis- souri.
 Chairman Bradshaw of the committee was authorized to secure the services or a minister to serve as chaplain or the convention.

The Political Situation in the Third District

The Political Situation in the Third District
 Is Measuring.
 Clayton, May 23.-(Special )-Circuit court, which has been in session here all the week, with Judge Carmichael presid- ing, engaged in disposing of the crim- inal docket, adjourned today, and the fudge and solicitor left for their homes last night. The docket was very light, there being only a few minor cases and convictions were secured in every case but three. The trial of Sim Teal for the murder of his nephew, Ed Teal, which was the only case of any importance, and consumed the entire time of the court for the past two days, resulted in a verdict of acquittal. Teal killed his nephew in family row that occurred in beat IS on the day fthe primaries.
 The Barbour county campaign com mittee will be called together in a few days to devise ways and means for the coming campaign, and this county will roll up a democratic majority in August the like of which has not been seen for the past six years. The democratic nom- inees are already at work and have been since their nomina ton. The populite- republican ticket put out in this county by the fusionists will be showed under by a greater majority than any opposing party was ever beaten in this county. This ticket is headed by James O. Flour noy, a rabd radical of the Keilds re- gime. The nomination of FIournoy was intended to capture the negroes. but this scheme will not naterialize, for the ne- groes will refuse to follow Flournoy for the reason that he declares to the populists that he is no longer a republi- can, but populst, while the pCg,uliets distrust and will resuse to follow Aln.
Birmingham state herald., 1896-05-24

because they know him to be dyed-in- the-wool republican, radical of the old stripe. They have not forgotten the despicable and oppressive practices when Flournoy was the radical sheriff of Bar bour county, and they are unwilling to be led now by man who went back on his race at the time when he was most needed, and who was willing to bring upon them the odium and hard ships attempted by the radical rule. AL most without exception the populists Of this county are men who up to few years ago were loyal democrats, but for differences in the party followed Kolb, believing him to be a democrat, but with no intention of becoming republi- cans or of following the leadership of republican. Flournoy was not only nonl- mated for the legislature, but had him. self made chairman of the executive com- mittee of the populist party of this coun- ty. This, of course, was a scheme to put the party machinery in the hands of the republicans; but their little scheme has been detected and will be nipped in the bud. The populist party was originally composed of about 600 voters in this county and they have narrowed down to about 400. Over half of these partici- pated in the democratic primaries and will vote the democratic ticket in August solid.
 The Third district has shown by it's ac- ton Tn the primaries that It IS over whelmingly in favor of the free and un- limited coinage of both gold and silver, and that it is largely opposed to the sim gle gold standard, the five largest coun- ties being solid for Johnston and silver while the three smallest counties just did get in the Clarke column.
 It is natural to conclude that demo- crat will be nominated to represent the district in congress whose views upon the financial question are in accord with the great majority of democrats in the dis trict. The names of several gentlemen have been mentioned for the place as suitable candidates; among them the Hon. A. H. Aston of Barbour is spoken of. Judge Alston was candi- date for congress in 1894, and would probably have received the nomi- nation but for the fact that he spent the entire campaign in his home county at work for the success of the state ticket, while the other candidates canvassed the district in their own interest. Judge AL ston is one of the strongest advocates of silver in the state, and was framer of the platform adopted by the state con- vention. His views on this question have been instilled in him for years, and are not the result of political scheming.
