PoPULIsTs FAIL IN LINE
They Will Support the Democratic
Ticket, So Says Teller.

Chicago, July 11.-(SpeciaL)-The populists
will support Bryan. That IS the reply 10
the question which has been surging
through the town since the nomination Of
the boy orator"
This is based on a declaration Of SenA-
tor Teller, the oracle of the free silver
people, since the national democracy de-
clared for Bryan.
The fact that the populists win declare
for Bryan insures his election. When the
convention was first convened the free sill
yer men received notice that no one who af-
nlated with either party could have the sup
port of the populists. whereupon the lead
ers cast about for one who would ill the
bill, and Bryan was found 20 supply the re-
quirements in every respect. There need
be no doubt of the declaration which the
populists Will make at St. Louis. Nothing
more than the word of Senator Teller is
needed TO insure that What does Senator
Teller say?
The nomination OF William Jennings
Bryan is satisfactory to mel"
Senator Teller Is the chief high priest of
the populists. He knows It; ne appreciates
It; therefore. his utterance can be con-
strued as the official utterance of the pop
uists. That being SO. there is no reason to
dispute the statement that the populists
will support Bryan and that will elect
him.

st. Louis. June 17.-Chilling rain be-
gan at 8 o'clock this morning and the
second day Of the great republican
convention promises to be very disa-
greeable. Flags and bunting are hang
ing limp and the spirits Of the dele
gates are correspondingly depressed.
There Ii little interest felt by the great
mass Of delegates now that McKinley's
nomination Is certain and the platform
settled. except perhaps as to q few
technical points Of phraseology in
which comparatively few are much In
terested. There has been no inspiring
oratory and the street parades palled
upon the taste.
The contest over the vice presidency
will probably put life into the conven-
ton as soon as the nomination for
president has been made. The fight lies
between Garrett A. Hobart Of New
Jersey and Morton OF New York. The
drift seems to be toward Morton In
spite Of the protests Of the anti-Platt
faction OF New York. headed by Miller
and Of Mark Hanna. However, the
situation may change very rapidly in
either direction after the convention
effects permanent organization and set
ties down to business.
The weather If 1t continues Disagree
able will likely shorten the convention
as the delegates are already getting
tired and anxious to get away. Two
days ago 1t seemed certain the con-
vention would not adjourn before FRI
day night. Now. In spite of the prac-
tical impossibility OF getting through
with 80 much business, there Is talk OF
adjournment tonight. 1t Is probable
the end will be reached tomorrow.
This may interfere with the plans for
q huge demonstration In honor of Nc
Kinley that had been projected. Brass
bands last night and the heat indoors
kept most Of the delegates In the
streets until late hour and they were
late In getting out this morning.

convention assembled
Senator Lodge, member Of the reso-
lutions committee. elbowed his way up
the aisle for a final conference with
his New England friends. but no other
members of that committee were In the
hall. The leaders as a rule were late
In arriving. The music was Inspiring
and the scene one Of life and anima-
tion. The busy pencillers Of the press
were hard at work
Dark faces in the delegations marked
their geographical location on the map
OF the country without recourse to the
delegation staffs. Some colored dele
gates are magnificent specimens OF
manhood and attracted much atten-
tion. Here and there. too. through the
northern delegations was a swarthy
face. Among the notable colored men
In the convention were ex-Congress-
man Smalls. the famous negro pilot OF
South Carolina, whose services to the
union navy In the days OF the war
were recently recognized by congress;
James Hill Of Mississippi. and John NJ
Langston Of Virginia.
Two distinguished sons of General
Grant, Col Fred Grant of New York
who was minister to Austria, and u. 8
Grant Of San Diego. Cal, sat side by
side In the space reserved for guests
At 1925 the band struck up a medley
Of patriotic airs. which was received
with cheers and plaudits by the packed
galleries. The belated leaders moved
down into their places. Plat and Gov.
ernor Bushnell OF Ohio came In togeth.

but no sign of recognition passed be.
tween them. The feud between the New

who was among the last of the political
generals to appear, was stopped al
every side by delegates and greeted In
the warmest fashion. There was, how.
ever. no open demonstration. He step.

pered consultation with Senator Carter
As they stood conversing, Temporary
Chairman Fairbanks moved to the
front of the platform and dropped the
