SELECTED TWO cHA1RxEN.
Aessrs. Donnelly and Cnmpion Choseu
by the Pepnlist Steering COMMITTEES

by the Popnlist Steering Committee
The mtddle-of- the-load men, through
their steering committee. took action last
night. which will probably have a very
important effect on the convention Early
in the evening they seleo ted lgnatius Dom
nelly for their candidate as permanent
chairman. and sent committee to notify
him OF his selection. Mr. Donnelly ac-
cepted, and it was given out
Later the steering committee held an
other meeting and selected J. E. Campion
OF Maine as their candidate for permanent
chairman. The committee realized ii is
IN very awkward position, having notified
Donnelly and secured his acceptance hut
the reasons given for substituting Campjon
are that the Minnesota delegation and the
delegations which the steering commit tee
represented made a. great protest against
Donnelly's selection, many declaring they
would not vote for him. 1t was also stated
by members of the committee that Den
nelly was possible candidate for Prest-
dent and ought not to be presented for
permanent chairman. It was also stated
taat his selection was very obnoxious to
the anti-CathoGc element. as it was be-
1eved he was a Catholic Many of the
leaders of the mddle-of- the-road and es-
peclally Mr.. Branch of Georgia, think a
great mistake has been made and thai
the action of the committee will cost the
mlddle-of-the-road men many votes in the
convention. Mr.. Branch is not a member
CT the steering committee but has been
prominent among the antf-Bryan forces.

from the anti-Bryan ranks They claim
ed the Bryan men were sending delegates
to see Senator Jones. chairman of the dem
ocratlc committee. and that these dele
gates. who were slightly wavering, were
being fixed for Bryan at the democratic
headquarters.
Another thing was noticed by some of
the alert middle Of the road men. When
Mary Ellen Lease was about to talk to the
meeting Gen. Weaver rushed down and
said that she must not do so. He held a
whispered consultation with her, ind she
then stated that she would not talk until
the hall was lighted. All of these things,
taken in connection with the fact that The
hall was lighted within twenty-five min
utes after Chairman Butler adjourned the
convention. and after every tleleg lte had
left the building, created a great deal of
suspicion in the minds OF the middle of
the road men that they were not getting a
fair deal"
The impression prevailed among a large
number OF them that they were practi-
cally defeated and that a nomination " ould
be rendered to Bryan. and the talk among
them late last night was to the effect that
they would not stand it. They did not say
they would bolt. number of the sou hern
delegates said that they cannot stand Bry-
an, and there will be no other course open
to them but to keep in the middle Of the
road. which indicates that the middle of
the road men will not accept Bryan if he is
nominated by the convention.

SILVER PARTY.s PLATFORM.


Committee Refused to IRd0rse the
Democratic Money Plank.
The committee on resolutions Of the sill
yer party convention met last night at
st. Louis and q subcommittee was APP
pointed to recommend the platform passed
in this city at the birletallic conference In
January last. There was q hard fight
on the part Of General Warner, the Ohio
member. for the Endorsement of the demo-
cratic silver plank fn toto, but by q vote
of 16 to the subcommittee reported the
following platform.
The national silver party In convention
assembled hereby adopts the following dec
la1 &tion of principles:
First. The paramount issue at this time
in the United States is indisputabIy the
money question. 1t Is between the gold
standard. gold bonds and bank currency
on the one side and the bimetallic stand
ard. no bonds and government currency
on the other.
On this issue we declare ourselves to be
In favor of distiEctiyely American finan-
cial system. We are unalterably opposed
to- the single gold standard and demand
the immediate return TO the constitutional
standard of gold and silver, by the restora-
of any foreign power, of the unrestricted
coinage Of both gold and silver into stand
ard money at the ratio of 16 to ], and
upon. terms of exact equality. az they
existed prior to 1873: the silver cain to
be full legal tender equally with geld
for all debts and dues. private and public.
and We favor such legislation a. will pre-
vent for the future the decentralization of
any kind OF legal tender money by private
contract.
We hold that the power to control and
regulate a paper currency IL iEseparable
from the power to coin money, and hence
that all currency intended to circulate
as money should he isaued. and its volume
controlled By the general government only,
and ahould be legal tender.

Contested SEATS.
Long Session Of the POpulfst Commit
tee On CredentiaIs,


tee On Credentials.
In session in the afternoon after the ad-
journment of the convention and during the
greater part of the night
The Colorado contest, involving the seats
of the forty-ffve delegates from that state
was first considered and disposed Of 1t
resulted In the seating of the Patterson or
regular delegation, by vote Of q to a.
The principal basis Of the tight against this
delegation was that 1t was more democratic
than populistic, and direct charges were
made to the effect that Mr. Patterson. the
head of the delegation. was in the habit of
consorting with democrats, and was at
heart anything but populist.
Mr.. Patterson appeared in his own behalf
and, in the interest of his delegation, main
tanning his party fidelity and giving in
stances of his support of the populfst cause
even where he differed from the nominees
on questions of party policy.
The contests from Cook county, Ill.
covering twenty-five seats. were compro-
missed, after a prolonged hearing, by seating
both delegations and giving each of the
delegates half vote. The vote in favor
of this proposition was % to 10. The hear
ing was an animated one, but the same
ground was gone over that was covered in
the hearing Tuesday before the national
committee.
These are the two principal contests and
having disposed of them, there is no doubt
that the committee will be prepared to
bring in its report when the convention
meets, at 10 o'clock today
At midnight the committee was proceed
ing with the hearing in the minor contests
The result in the Colorado case Is a victory
for the Bryan men, and that in the Illinois
case a draw.

MUST PAY THE TAXES.
The Millions of Bushels of Cribbed
 Corn Assessed.

St. Joseph (Mo.) Herald: Last fau when Armour and others cribbed mil lions of bushels O. corn along the lines of railroads in this country they did so for the purpose of making money. Now that the corn has lain in the cribs for nearly year and is still unsoId these same speculators are surprisad to fad that it has been assessed and that it will be necessary for them to pay taxes on it.
 Of course they object aud protest, and declare it is unlawful, but the assessors keep their grip. The question is entire. ly new in the state. but gooi lawyers and attorneys say that that corn is as. sessa ble the same as aIyother property. Of course the matter will go into the courts, and the outcome will he of in- terest to warehouse men, farmers, tax payers and grain spectators. Tn the territory within twenty miles a7Cr11 St. Joseph it is estimated tbat over 5000, ,000 bushels Of corn is now in CT; bs, which will net a neat sum for the tax gatherer.
 In this connection it might also be stated that well known railroad off cial stated yesterday that Armour nas disposed of all of the corn which he bought in this vicinity last fall The official stated that Armour used the corn Tn controlling the m arket and added largely to his already immense fortune.
