Both cannot be right. Therefore, when

We quoted yesterday the graphic pic
ture of the personnel Of the Popul!ist
Convention which II. J.. w, the special
CORRESPONDENT Of the Washington Post,
telegraphed his paper. lie continued fur
Their sketches of them next day, from
which we quote the following;
The convention has been likened to a
circus. The smile is not exaggerated.
IL has been succession of ridiculous

calcium night on this gathering has given
the country an adequate idea of the Popue
list in his true light, the conyenuon has
not been held in vain.
The correspondent then adds the fol-
lowing. as Indicative OF their way Of
doing business:
No less than FIVE hours were consumed
during the days session IN a noisy and
senselcss wrangle over the adoption of

There were more points OF order than
there were delegates. and cozen at

ed TO a train running wild on a down

it was tagged at every way station for
