THE POPUL|STS
ST. louis and the Coming Convention
There Will Now Attract
Attention.
THE CLANS Are GATHERING
Gossip About the Probable Outcome
OF the Latest Political
Assemblage.

Sr. LOUIS, July 14-The rush of
politicians to attend the p0pulist and
silver national conventions has not yet
set in, although few of the leaders have
arrived. Chairman Taubeneck and Ser
geant Arms Mcdowell, of the popu-
list national committee, predict one Of
the largest crowds that ever attended a
convention.
MANY of the best men in the party
will be here" continued the chairman
There will be 100 delegates, repre-
senting two million voters, We have
every reason TO believe in numbers at
tending, it will far outrank the repubi-
can convention. We shall meet in the
same building, which will afford an op.
portunity to observe the strong points of
difference"
As the populiets begin to gather it is
evident there will be two propositions
ton of the convention. One is, that
populists shall abandon any idea Of
separate and distinct national ticket, and
indorse outright the candidates and plat
form of the Chicago convention, This
proposition will be supported by the
friends of Senator Henry M. Teller,
nearly all the popuists of the United
States senate and the principal peoples
party leaders in many of the western
states. The west. southwest and north
west are nearly solid for the proposition
to indorse Bryan, and put up no other
ticket
From the south come delegates and
party leaders who are not delegates to the
convention, urging another proposition:
to put presidential ticket in TIE field,
adopt platform, run presidential cleo
tors IN all the states whore the peoples
party has an organization, and then,
when the time comes to cast the vote in
the electoral college, let the popuiists
and democrats combine on the strongest
man whether that be Bryan or the pop
u.lst nominee,
Vigorous objection is urged against
this on the ground that it would be dan
geroue TO the common cause Of free sill.

adherents, and in some of the close
states, where one or the other holds the
talance Of power, division Of their
strength might give the state to Nc

Weak ~ erves

Indicate as surely as any physical
symptom shows anything, that the or
gans and tissues of the body are not
satisfied with their nourishment.
They draw their sustenance from
the blood, and If the blood is thin, i'm
pure or insufficient, they are in state
of revolt. Their complaints are made
to the brain, the king of the body,
through the nervous system, and the
result of the general dissatisfaction is
what we call Nervousness.
This is a concise, reasonable expla-
nation of the whole matter.
The cure for Nervousness, then, is
simple. Parity and enrich your blood
by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, and the
nerves, tissues and organs will have
the healthful nourishment they crave.
Nervousness and Weakness will then
give way to strength and health.
That this is not theory but fact is
proven by Involuntary statements of
thousands cured by Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. Read the next column.

UNIFORMITY IN BALES.
Cotton Exchange Delegates Adopt
Resolutions.

Augusta, Ca, April 1O.-At meeting of
representatives of the South Atlantic cot
ton exchanges in Augusta to-day, the mat
ter of uniform baling was acted upon.
Resolutions were adopted recommending
/. That producers, ginners and packers use
bagging weighing not less than two, nor
more than two and one-quarter pounds
to the yard, the bagging to be woven and
colendered to allow for clear and distinct
marking.
2 Six ties to the bale, of material weigh
ing not less than forty-five nor more than
fifty pounds to a bundle of thirty eleven
to eleven and one-half feet in length
g. Farmers and manufacturers are urged
TO conform to these recommendations
A. That the compressed bale have ship
side density of twenty-five and one-half
pounds cubic foot and eight bands weigh
ing average of one and one-eighth pounds
per band.
8. That the sample hole patch be used
in comDressment of bales
6. That railroads decline to receive com
pressed cotton of lesser density than
twenty-five and one-half pounds per cubic
feet.
z. That the attempt to enforce an arbi-
Trary penalty of five pounds per bale by
the Liverpool exchange will only retard
every movement looking to the correction
OF the evils complained of.
