BUTLER SFRONG A SURFR4SE.
Senator Butler hopes to be the pivot
on which the convention viii turn. He
believes eventually all the factions
can be harmonized on his plan to a
don't a Populist platform and nomin-
ate upon it Bryan with a Southern
populist for Vice President His speech
strongly upheld the demand for the
perpetuation of the POpulist organi-
zation which he described as having
driven the Republicans to gold and
the Democrats 10 silver. He gave both
factions chance to rend the AIR with
their shouts, but when,in conclusion, he
suggested a middle course, the purpose
of which all understood, both sides
were irresponsive. The Bryan men on
the whole, however, considered that
the victory so far as there was one, lay
with them.
There were no demonstrations at
the days session. The delegates, save
those from Texas, were unusually
quiet, although after they had been
once aroused by the display of Lin
coins picture they applauded with en-
thusiasm everything winch suited their
fancy
There was no night session owing to
an accident which destroyed the cleo
trio light connections. a severe storm
had passed over the city about
O'Clock and the wires were blown
down. Despite this fact the delegates
assembled IN the hall and waited for
over an hour in total darkness for the
lights to be turned on. About dozen
candles were brought in for the use
Of the newspaper men. One was plac-
ed on the chairman's table and another
stuck in the top of a guidon in the
middle of then H. The effect, was
weirdlv picturesque. There was natur-
ally considerable apprehension that a
panic might seize the crowd and a
dire calamity. mioht result in +he rusb
