have postponed their conference until
other silver Republicans can arrive.
They will probably then issue state
ment of their position. Senator Teller
makes no concealment of his intention
to support Mr.. Bryan for the presi-
dency. He says he is satisfied that this

question paramount to all others in the
campaign, and that, if elected, Mr..

Democratic Chairman Predicts the Elec-

WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator Jones
of Arkansas. the new chairman of the
Democratic national committee, has ar

he confidently predicts the election of
Bryan. He declared that the silver
sentiment which prevailed at Chicago
was but sample Of that existing over
the country The financial issue will,
he says, be forced to the front and the
Republicans will be kept on the de-
fensive. There will be little or no talk
on the tariff except to insist that tho
country does not want to return to
''McKinleyism.

but Another Ticket May

ST. LOUIS, July 16.-The rush of poll
ticians to attend the Populist and Ma
tional Silver conventions has not yet set
in, although few Of the leaders have
arrived. Chairman Taubeneck and
Sergeant-at-ArmsM Mcdowell Of the Pop
ulist national committee predict one of
the largest crowds that ever attended a
convention.
'sThere will be 1850 delegates" said
Chairman Taubeneck, representing
over 1000, 900 voters. We have every
reason to believe that in point of num-
bers attending it viii far outrank the
Republican convention. We shall meet
In the same building, which will afford
an opportunity to observe the strong
points of difference.
The Chief Contention.
As the Populists begin TO gather it is
evident that there will be two PROPOSE
tions made which will form the chief
contention of the convention. One is
that the Populists shall abandon any
idea of separate and distinct national
ticket end endorse outright the candi-
dates and the platform of the Chicago
convention. This proposition will be
supported by the friends of Senator
Henry NJ. Teller, nearly all the Popu-
list members of the United States SEN
ate, and the Peoples party leaders in
many of the Western states. The West,
the Southwest and the Northwest are
nearly solid for propositions to endorse
Mr.. Bryan and put up no other ticket.
The Southern Plan.
From the South come delegates and
party leaders who are not delegates to
the convention, urging another propo
position-to put presidential ticket in
the field, adopt a platform, run presi-
Dental electors in all the states where
the Peoples party has an organization,
and then when the time comes to cast
the vote in the electoral college, let the
Populists and Democrats combine on
the strongest man, whether that be
Bryan or the Populist nominee. Wig
orous objection is urged against this on
the ground that it would be dangerous
to the common cause of free silver.
The convention of the National Silver
party, which convenes in this city July
20 at the Exposition building, will vie
in numbers with that of the Populists,
which meets the same day.

BRYAN AT CENTRALiA.

Several Hundred People Turn Out tn

CENTRALIA, Ills, July 16.-For some
reason the ovation that was to have
been given to Mr.. Bryan here was al
most failure. Scarcely 500 people all
told were at the station when the train
bearing Mr.. Bryan and his wife pulled
in. A club of Democratic voters ar
rived from Nashville with band about
z 80, and few minutes later one came
in from Fairfield, but they added
scarcely 300 people to the crowd. To
make matters worse the place selected
for Mr.. Bryan to meet the citizens was
the city park, which had

There were frequent cheers for Nc

and free silver. Mr.. Bryan did not in
tend to make speech but the crowd in
sisted and he made few remarks.
