The work to be done by the COM
ing Irrigation Congress, which is to
convene in Phoenix in December,
will result in more good to arid
America than any other agency now
at work for the reclamation of the
arid lands of the west. Public
opinion in the United States he's
been educated upon the subject of
irrigation through sthe medium of
these ANIMAL gatherings, to such an
extent that there is now but little
doubt but national lie ,isiation for
irrigation will shortly follow the
December meeting. The coming
congress will be far more import
ant in results. as well as in the
numbers which will be present, than
any which has ever been held. The
entire Salt River Valley, and in
fact the whole of Arizona should
join in making the gathering
success and rendering the stay of
the visitors within our borders one
ont soon to be forgotten.

Indications That They Will Win-B1tler
for Temporary Chairman.
He refuses to make pledges in Bryan's
name and Governor Holcomb, who came
direct from visit to Lincoln, said that
the Democratic candidate declined TO en-
ter into any contracts, but that the Popu-
lists as well as others must rely upon him
for fair treatment. Altogether, sizing the
situation up at this writing, it seems rea-
sonably certain that Bryan will be in
aorsed. Beyond that nothing can be
safely predicted.
A resolution will be introduced in the
convention to make the field daisy the EN-
blcm Of the populist party. 1t is a lovely
Hover, and grows in almost all the coun-
try where the silver sentiment exists. As
conyentionalized for use as an emblem it
would have sixteen petals with gold
center. indisating the slogan of the cam
paign, sixteen Of silver to one of gold.
Buffalo Jones. of Oklahoma, has sub
mittcd Il novel proposition to the cam
pairn managers. He wants to yoke up a
couple of buffaloas and follow Bryan
about the country and head all the big
professions. He says Jerry Simpson, of
Kansas, has ns,rced 10 drive the team.
The meeting Of the national committee
selected senator Butler, of North Caro-
lima, for Temporary chairman. He was
put forward rs u compromise and Will be
accepted by the Bryan people. but there is
much talk THAI he will be opposed by the
"middle-of-the-road'' delegates. The Bry
an managers repUdatcd General Field. of
Virginia, and withdrew his name. The
'middle-of-thc,road' men did not name a
candidate. They desire the selection of
jerome Kirby. OF Texas Last night they
demanded n statement from Butler, and
when he announced himself for Bryan
they decided to fight his selection in the
convention.
In deciding contests the national COM
mittee declared the Taylor delegation
from Chicago the proper one and the
Pryor delegation from Ohio the legal rep
resentative from that state. Police We're
stationed outside the doors of the hall in

evening session. There was one fisticutf
between DIR. ii. ). Taylor, the leader of
the Chicago regulars and Seymour Sted-
man, of the opposing delegation. When

hall they Sprang suddenly at each other,

PRESS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.
Populist Editors Doing Their Best to De-
feat Fusion of Any Kind.

The National Reform Press association
is backing the middlc-of-t road delegates
with all the power it possesses. Altogether
the .'middlc-of-thc-road'' people are max
ing n dcafcning noise, which Senator
Alien says creates an impression of num-
bcrs and strength. a few frogs in a
pond, said he, can make the night vocal
with their believing" Despite the wild
claims of the shoutcrs it was apparent
yesterday that some of their leaders were
wea kcning. They were talking in Il mere
temperate strain and were suggesting
compromises as the best road out of the
tangle. Cyclone Davis, for instance,
prepared resolution which he said he
would offer, declaring that in order to de-
feat Mckinley and the gold standard the
Populists should agree upon common
electors.
Riffs in the lutes of several of the south
ern ''middlc-of-the-road' delegations were
also discovered, notably in Texas. The
out -and-outcrs, if they should control, are
all ut sea as to q candidate. Paul Wander
wort. of Nebraska, and Eugene V. Debs
are about the only names canvassed since
Representative Towne. of Minnesota ar
rived and announced himself for Bryan
Although the Bryan managers seem con-
fidcnt OF success they are by no means out
Of the woods. The compromise PROPOSE
tons pressed upon them are the principal
source of their anxiety. Senator Marion
Butler, Of North Carolina, is essaying the
roll OF compromiser. AL his energies are
bent in that direction.
He believes that both factions could be
harmonizcd and the integrity of the Popu-
list organization preserved by the ;idop-
ton Of Populist platform, a division of
electors in certain states and the nomina-
ton Of Bryan for president and southern
PopuIist for vice president. He claims
that ut n meeting Of representatives of ali
the southern states yesterday there was
unanimous agreement upon this compro-
mise and that it will have behind it 4SS
votes from the south. Butler argued that
this was the only way of uniting the sill
yer forces, so far as the south was con-
cerreti; because il was the only way OF
maintaining the autonomy Of the Populist
party in that section

presidency, and at three OF the small sta
tons men came into the car and invited
him to come out upon the platform and
shake hands with the crowds, which he
cheerfully did.
When the train pulled into Omaha at
7:i5 p. m. the large platform was crowded
with cheering, bowling assembly of
men, women and children, whose vocal
efforts drowned the music of the First In
fantry band, which was stationed in its
midst. Bryan stepped from the platform
of the car into a scrambling, struggling
mob, and as the surging mass swept
around him he hastily pressed the hands
of as many as he could reach. 1t was
some time before the reception committee,
headed by Judge George w. Doane, could
work its way to the side of the car. but
policemen cleared a path through which
Bryan and those who had accompanied
him were with difficulty ushered to car
riages in waiting.
thousands of people on either side OF
the streets along the long drive to the CEN
trail portion of the city seemed bent on
smothering the performances of the band
with shouting and fog-horn choruses A
large platform had been erected in the
street at the intersection of Fifteenth and
Douglas streets, decorated with bunting
and streamerS. while upon the four cor
ner posts hung pictures of Washington
Lincoln, jefferson and Jackson. Around
1t was assembled crowd of /, 800 to . 900
people, the wide streets for over a block in

| wall to wall, while the roofs and windows
