Taubeneck Talks More Nationally.

Chicago, Aug. III. E. Taubeneck.
late chairman of the Populist national
committee, has come to Chicago for con-
sultation with the leaders of his and the
Democratic parties. He is confident that
the Populists of the whole country will
vote for Bryan and has little doubt that
satisfactory arrangements will be made
for electoral tickets in all the states. In
Illinois, it is understood that four Demo-
cratic electors will be retired and four
Populist electors substituted. 1t is also
understood that at least one candidate on
the state Democratic ticket will be with
drawn and his place filled by a Populist.
