der at noon to-day by H E TaGbe-
neck, Chairman Of the National Com
mittee. Senator Butler of North

Th. situation at St. Loui..

According to the latest dispatches
the situation in the Populist camp at
st. Louis is full of uncertainty. The
adherents of Bryan and Sewall claim
to have a majority in favor OF an un-
conditional endorsement of the Chi
cago nominees. The straightouts
are claiming everything in sight and
say they have a sufficient number of
votes to prevent Bryan's endorsement
and nominate a ticket that will keep
in the middle of the road.
One Of the latest schemes evolved
by the opponents Of fusion is to en-
dorse Bryan and nominate & South
ern Populist on the ticket with him.
The scheme was submitted to Senat-
or Jones, Chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, who killed it in
its infancy by the po .itive statement
that such a thing could not be con-
sidered.
An exciting scene occurred yester-
day at a meeting of the Middie-of-
the Road men, held for the purpose of
.effecting an Organization. Albright,
a delegate from Oklahoma. pointed
out a mar and charged him with dis
tributng Mark Hanna's money for
the purpose of preventing the en-
dorsemet and Bryan and defeating
the Silver party. The man was SiIae
Ross of New York. Ross Ell 2hatiaal-
Fly denied that he had been engaged
III any such bushes, or had ever seen
the Oklahoma IMAM before. Albright
afterwards admitted TINT he might
be mistaken as to Ross being the man,
He afterwards said Hacxstaff of
Colorado was the man with the
money This met with a prompt de.
NAL from Hackstaff and Albright was
again in the soup. a motion was then
carried to exclude all Bryan men
from the meeting. A German Popu-
list from st. Louis then got ON his
ear and said it was not q Populist, but
a Republican m netting. This did not
suit the majority Of the meeting and
the German was hustled through the
door.
The National Committee held a
nesting and unanimously elected
Senator Butler of North Carolina
Temporary Chairman of the Conven-
ton.

Look out for Thieves.

Elko has been full Of hobos the last
three or four days and it might be
well for our people to keep a close
watch on their yaluables. Monday
night an attempt was made to break
into the Free Press bookstore. Part
Of the window sash was cut out and q
pane Of glass broken. The broken
glass falling on the floor inside fright
ened the thieves and they left without
completing their work. Last even
ing a hobo, giving the name of John
Jackson, went into the postofice and
gathered up an armfull of wallpaper
which he took and hid under the hay
in Tom Harris stable. He then en-
tered Mr. Shirley's room In the Com
mercial Hotel and took Shirley's coat,
vest and ~valise, and started down the
railroad track. He was overtaken by
Deputy Sheriff Watkins and lodged in
Jail. This morning he was taken DO.
fore Justice Morgan and plead guilty
