ofthe-road Populists will now re-
main in line"
William P. st. John said II am
very we'll pleased with the action Of
the Populist convention. 1t was the
only thing that could be done under
the circumstances, as it would have
been impossible to have placed the
Texas delegation and others from
tho South. Of course we should
have liked to had Sewall on the
ticket, but we could not dictate to
the convention our terms, since we
did not stand on the Populist plat
form. The delegates will all 60
homo and vote for Bryan, and two
thirds will vote for Sewall also. l
went away happy in the belief that
we bad accomplished much toward
bringing about the desired reforms
in our financial system"
