 CYCLONE" DAVIS RESOLUTION. The Way He Wants to Make the Deal
 With the Democrats.
 ST. LOUIS, July ss.-"Cyolone" Davis has prepared and will ask the Populist convention to adopt the following reso- lution
 Whereas, Mckinley and the Repub- llcan party represent the existing gold standard, the perpetuation of which means that the national banking sys- tenn IS to be rechartered for 50 years and that our national debt is to be refunded and made gold instead of coin debt and bonds to run 30 years and,
 Whereas, this system is to be fasten- ed upon the country by a treaty with foreign nations under the false pretense of an International conference, which means the ultimate enslavery of the masses and the complete establishment of classes
 Resolved, that to defeat this meas ure and insure McKinley's defeat so far as our vote goes, we pledge ourselves to unite with the Democrats on one set of electors in each state This is the sentiment of middle of -the-road popu- lists J

 Stevens Outlines the Result of the Na-
 tional Silver Convention.
 ST. LOUIS, July 22.-Hon. I. N. Stew ems. member of the executive committee of the national silver party, has arrived. Speaking of what the silver party will do, he said:
 "Our party organized to unite all sil- yer voters for the campaign of 1896, without regard to past party affiliations. It is largely composed of men who have belonged to the Republican party. Our convention will nominate Bryan and sewall upon substantially the financial plank of the Chicago platform, which will probably be the sole plank of our platform, and then an address will probably be issued appealing to the American people to hold ill abeyance their beliefs upon other questions and join us ill restoring the money of the constitution. We will be powerful factor in the middle and western states in uniting silver voters. The silver convention will probably complete its work tomorrow night. The silver party has a school district organization in all the middle and western states. 1t will bring to the support of Bryan hun dreds of thousands who do not wish to vote the Democratic ticket or join that party but who agree with us upon the ,nonav ouestiOn

THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE MEETS
Appointment of Delegates of the States
 the Only Matter Transacted.

the Only Matter Transacted
 ST. LOUIS, July 22.-The Populist na- tional committee met at 12 O. clock yester- day. MT. Taubeneck occupied the chair and Messrs McParlin and Hays were at the secretary's desk. The principal work before the committee is the selec- tlon of the temporary officers of the con- vention and the settlement of contests for seats, but these matters were post poned in order to allow the committee to pass upon other questions.
 There was difference in the under standing as to the proper apportionment of delegates from some of the states. It appeared that many of the states had fewer votes than they were entitled to and one or two more than was their due. The determination of these ques- tions made 1t necessary for general ex- planation of the basis of apportion- ment and called out 2 number of speeches. There were also some states which claimed greater representation and several changes were made.
 The Texas delegation was increased from 90 to 1o3. The representation in each of the territories and the District of Columbia, except Oklahoma, was in- creased from four to six. Oklahoma was put on the basis of state because of the large Populist vote cast there and given nine votes. After disposing of this matter the committee took recess

Bryan oy the Populist convention delegates were entitled to know how he stood with reference to Populist principles. The proposition was voted down by a harrow margin, but not until after sev- eral members made speeches for and against 1t, Those who opposed sending the telegram took the position that it would be an indelicate matter to put such an inquiry to MT. Bryan at this time
 The friends of Mir. Bryan accept the result with much satisfaction in view of the supposition that Texas was irrecon- elhably opposed to the Democratic nom. inee.

 sq LOUIS, July 22.-The result of the
 ,dorsement of the Democratic ticket f ,utbs Populist con yention is in doubt, $ ..a there is no telling how it will end.
 u,,b factions claim to have the best of Z the situation.
 There is talk of bolt on both sides if ,ba convention should decide against ,hau but many believe such thing Will not occur.
 The northern and western delegates .re in favor of indorsing Bryan and sawall, but the southern delegates are onnosed to the full indorsemsnt of this Hoket but would indorse Bryan if they would be given the vice president.
 Both factions have held several meet ;nrs over this yexed question, but nei. ther can see their way out.
 At the meeting last night of the Bry- an followers the large parlors where they make their headquarters were crowded to suffocation. Reports made by those in attendance indicate gradu- sl growth of Bryan strength, and re- norts were made to the effect that the solid delegation from North and South Dakota and New Mexico aggregating S3 votes could be counted upon for the in- dorsement of the Democratic nominee. Claims were also made to the South Carolina delegation, and 1t was repre- ssnted that rapid progress was being made in Illinois, California and Penn ylyania. There was considerable dis cussion of what the indorsement of Bry- sn or the failure 10 indorse him would have on the Populist vote.
 The opinions expressed by the repre- sentatives of the northwestern states were to the effect that if Mir. Bryan was not indorsed the party would lose from 25 to 50 per cent of its vote in that sec ton. Captain Kolb and Colonel Bowen, who were present for the first time at Bryan meeting, gave the same opinion ss to the situation i'll Alabama and Georgia. The presence of Captain Kolb gave much encouragement to the Bryan people. as he had been noneom- initial. He expressed great confidence in Mr. Bryan's success at the conven- ton. The opposition, however, express doubts as to this, and some say that if Bryan and Sewall are indorsed they will still go ahead with their independent nominations.
 Senator Marion Butler seems to be ill she lead for temporary chairman, with Cyclone" Davis and General ]. B. Weaver close behind him.

Speculation on the Stock Exchange Yester-

speculation ON the STOCK Exchnnse AeSter-
day Was Dull.
New York, June 4.-Business at the
stock exchange was dull to-day. The
main cause for the quiet condition of
affairs is the uncertainty surrounding
the political situation. While the
friends of the leading republican can
didate for the presidential nomination
assert that he is sound on the currency
question, the street is inclined to wait
until the convention at st. Louis is
heard from. The recent victories of the
free silver men, and the belief that the
Chicago convention will come out
strongly for this metal, is also making
traders on the bull side of the account
more cautious.
At the opening the industrials were
weak, and the railway and information
al shares We're firm Sugar was sold
down on the reports of another decline
in raws abroad, and Tobacco was de-
pressed on the unfavorable trade con-
ditions. London bought st. Paul and
Louisville and Nashville to a moderate
extent at this time. After this little
squirt there was long period of dull
ness, but in the last hour the whole list
strengthened under the leadership of
the anthracites. The improvement was
the result of the decisive defeat of the
Butler bond bill in the ways and means
committee of the house; and the belief
that the gold shipments will be light
in the immediate future.
Rumors of an advance in anthracite

Chicago Northwestern and the declara
