The CALLS HEADQUARTERS, J
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 20.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 20.
Our delegation arrived on time at 7
o'clock this morning, all in good health
and high spirits. After mingling with the
perspiring crowds in several hotel Iobbies
and at various headquarters, and inter-
viewing some notable men in Populist
ranks, now venture to say that notwith-
standing the furor of the Bryanized silver
men there is fair prospect that some
common ground will be found on which
the real reform forces of the country, in
cluding the genuine silver men, will meet
and form an honorable union. Let it at
once be admitted that this view is optim-
istic. If such union shall fail of ac-
complishment it will be due to the bad
tempered zeal and insulting intimidations
of such men as Senator Stewart and the
undisguised trading by Populist and silver
men in Nebraska and Kansas.
True, the patronizing attitude of the
Bryan Democracy is very offensive to all
self-respecting and jealous Populists, but
the overmastering desire for union of the
silver forces felt by the vast majority of
Populist delegates leads them to smile un-
concernedly at the self-confidence of the
Bryan Dem ocrats in their newborn zeal
for silver legislation, and to be tolerant of
much arrogance which would otherwise
evoke quick resentment.
There is an element to be reckoned with
before substantial concessions will be
made to Bryan by Popuiists which at
present is receiving little consideration.
l refer to the Reform Press Association,
composed OF Populist editors and publish
ers. Very liberal concessions to the
Bryanites will bring financial ruin to q
majority of these men and humiliation
and a sort of moral defeat to them all.
Stubborn and intelligent resistance will
of necessity come from these men to any
rash, headlong and inconsiderate con-
cessions made to Bryan Democracy.
They will have not only right and dig
nifty on their side, but the future growth
and ultimate success of the Peoples party
Also men OF spirit, of deep convictions, of
determined purpose, who fight in self
defense as well as for the cause, which for
years has demanded and freely received
almost unexampled sacrifices and pinch
ing privations, will not meekly retire on
the approach of an arrogant, half defeated
foe, especially as they see at the head of
the advancing Bryanites a deserting

office-holders and office-seekers at their
heels. With this hurried glance over the

tions. JOSEPH AsBURY JOHNSON.

THE REFORM PRESS.
Members Determine to Assert Their
Rights at a Meeting of the
Association.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 20. = sixry-five
members of the Reform Press Association
met in the ST. James Hotel this afternoon.
President Paul Vandervoort of Omaha was
in the chair. Secretary RoselIe announced
that fourteen applications for membership
were on file. These were acted upon at
once and the names added to the roll.
President Vandervoort announced that
owing to the small attendance no matters
OF legislation would be taken up, and
stated that another meeting would be held
tomorrow. An informal discussion fol-
lowed. The sentiment was strong that the
association should insist upon fuller rec
ognition by the party leaders in the draft
ing of the platform and the selection OF
candidates.
Secretary Roselle, who is also secretary
OF the press committee in charge of the al
lotment of press seats in the convention,
assured those present that liberal distri-
button of admission tickets would be made
to the association. This assurance quieted
the uneasiness OF some of the members
who have been complaining of lack of
attention by the press committee.

wro ngs that need resistance; for the cause
that needs assistance; for the good that
we can do" He said that that was key
to the character of his candidate, and paid
a glowing tribute to the worth and char
acter of the man and his strength as
candidate in this campaign.
z. ]. Harney seconded Clunie's nomina-
ton in ringing style, and then George w.
Fox of Redwood City seconded the noml-
nation of Kelly.
Frank J. Sullivan spoke strongly for
Barry as the only Democrat who could
carry the district. He referred to his
stand on secret religious societies, his out
spoken style and his lack of hypocrisy.
Patrick Reddy also praised the open. hon.
est character of James II. Barry, and so
did A. r. Denicke of Santa Clara.
Denicke's motion to close nominations
carried and then the three candidates
came forward and briefly pledged them
selves to the platform and the party. The
first ballot followed, with Thomas ].
Walsh and Thomas G. Wilson OF San
Francisco as tellers.
This ballot resulted in Santa Clara Civ
ing Ciunie its twenty three votes, San Ma
teo giving Kelly its six votes and San
Francisco dividing it's vote as follows

Howard Thompson for the latter. They

In case of deadlock.
The second ballot quickly followed. The
San Francisco and San Mateo vote re-
mained unchanged. Then Santa Clara's
chairman asked that the roll be called and
the interest became intense as pencils
were put to work.
On the first vote for Kelly there was
cheer from the Rainey crowd. Three
more and another cheer.
Kelly, 48," was called just before the
last name on the roll-thatof Sam Rucker
of San Jose-was announced. Kelly's
friends held their breath. If Rucker
voted for Kelly the victory was Kelly's.
'KellYp' answered Rucker and in the
instant the Kellyites arose and stood in
chairs to whoop and hurrah.
Santa Clara had given Kelly 12, a major
ity of its delegation, Barry and Clunie 5.
The total vote was: Kelly 40, Barry %.
Clunie 10, scattering 4.
The Santa Clara vote on the second ball

Cannot Support Bryan of
Nebraska.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-. July 20.-The Califor-
MIA delegation to the Populist Convention
has issued an open letter to the Demo-
cratic Presidential nominee, w. J. Bryan,
urging him to so before the country as the
nominee of the Populist party. 1t says in
part:
''If you will accept the nomination of
the Peoples party, declaring yourself a
Populist, you will become leader to
whom will rush every Ieformer, be he sill
Verite, Democrat or Republican; and rot
only be elected yourself, but also elect the
Congress and lawmaking power. 1t is the
opportunity OF your lie. if taken adVan-
tage of, and will, like Lincoln with the
Republicans, send your name down to his
tory as savior of our country by means
of Populism. If you do not do it we must,
sin defense of our principles, put another
nominee in the field. Can you thus be
elected ?''

SIXTH D1SrHIcT CANDIDATES.
Pioneer L. j. Rose Wants the Democratic
CONGREGATIONAL NOnafn alton.


LOS ANGELES, CAL, July 2o.-Another
Congressional candidate loomeu I'D here
to-day in the person of L. ]. Rose. Cali
fornia pioneer and one of the earliest set
tiers in Los Angeles County. Mr.. Rose is
a Democrat of the old school, man of
means, we'll known and extremely popu-
lar in Southern California. In card, ad-
dressed to the voters of the Sixth Con-
gressional District, the latest candidate to
enter the field says:
II have ever felt an ambition for an op-
portunity to make an effort to be benefit
TO the farmer and fruit-grower. Having
been wine merchant, a wine maker, a
grape grower, fruit-grower and a farmer
IL this country for thirty-six years makes
me confident that / understand their
wants This leads me to hope that l will
succeed in my effort 10 better their condi-
tion."
George Patton, who announced his can
dldacy few days ago, is likely to find in
Mr.. Rose foeman worthy of his steel.
The Populists, however, do not look with
especial favor upon Roses candidacy, and
this may be the means of defeating him
IN the nominating convent on.

are not Democrats. I will use my best en-
deavors TO have the gallant silver knig hJ
OF Nebraska secure the electoral vote of
California"
Kelly and his friends are iubiIant.
II was absolutely certain of getting the
nomination." said Kelly afterward. "In
my campaign you will find me a rabid
anti-railroad man, and will stand up for
the free, 16 to silver plank. will op-
pose religious intolerance, and 1 shall
make the Improvement of Alviso and Red
wood City creeks among my chief aims If
elected, and the San Francisco postoffice
is another thing that I will hustle for.'i
There is prospect of large bolt from
the Democratic Congressional ticket in
the Fifth-that is, a secondary one. and
the Republicans agree with many Demo-
Gratis who said yesterday that the weakest
candidate had been nominated.

wanted Populist platform, but there
was one delegate who did not want to run
the risk of not nominating Bryan, and
SAID that if he could not get a reasonable
