uality and will not follow their leaders
II they attempt to lead them against
their WILL The stay-at-home vote in the
Peoples party would be large enough
to defeat Mr.. Bryan in many Of the
western states"
do you think II the Peoples party
should nominate a candidate for pres
ident and vice-presldent and then COM
bine on electors that the entire vote
could be polled for such electors?"
"Yes; I believe the full Populist
strength could be polled at the Novem-
Der election for the electors. This. in
my opinion, is the only possible way to
defeat Mckinley at the polls next No
vember. Since the Chicago convention
have communicated with Populists
throughout the United States and know
that the Democratic ticket nominated
at Chicago will not be endorsed by our
convention next week."

ST. LOUIS. Mo-. July 1S-The nation
~ executive committee of the Populist

able business of routine nature. Chair
man Taubeneck presided. and those
present were: ]. II. Turner, Washing

| Talk Of Turndowns and Of Q Possible
Bolt
ST. LOUIS. July 1S-Not enough Of
the delegates to the national Populist
convention, which assemblies here next
Wednesday, have arrived in the city to
| give fair idea as to the complexion of
| that gathering. A majority of those
here are middle of the road men who
are not in favor of the endorsement of
.uinporary c,lar1 1.4e.r.
lected by the national committee at its
meeting on Tuesday. although the man
will be virtually named by the national
executive committee which held its first
meeting today with only six members
present.
Cyclone" Davis Of Texas, who is op-
posed to fusion and is for an Independent
Populist ticket. is the choice Of the mid
die Of the road" people.
There is possibility that he may be
relegated to the rear
The middle of the road" men are in
majority, but when the three absent
members Of the committee get here there
is strong probability that United
States Senator w. v. Allen of Nebraska
may be put forward for both temporary
and permanent chairman. Senator
Allen is said to be outspoken for the en-
dorsement of Bryan and Sewall and for
the union Of all the free silver forces.
IF the anti-Bryan men and the men,
bers of the national machine try to run
in a temporary chairman, the scene in
the Chicago convention when David b.
Hill was turned down and Senator
Daniel was put in. may be duplicated.
The Bryan wing of the party claims
over 300 delegates out of the total Of 1850
and this large majority would not SUBJ
init to the dictation of the minority fac
ton.
At today's meeting Of the executive
committee 1t is claimed the subject of
temporary officers was discussed. 1t
was taken up but only in an informal
way. Chairman Taubeneck soon dis
covered that not all the members were
with him and that it was barely possible
the middle of the road would have ma
1ority In the full body of that commit
tee. This altered his plans and the mat
ter was postponed. 1t is said the middle
OF the road men now threaten to bolt
II Bryan is endorsed. They come mostly
from south of the Mason and Dixon
line.
Tonight's arrivals are not numerous
and 1t Is not expected that any great
number Of Populists will come in before
Monday or Tuesday.
TAUBENECK'S MISSION
CHICOGO, July 1S.-There are reasons
for believing Chairman Taubeneck's Sc
cret mission to this city had something |
to do with another Populist convention |
to be held here by the middle of the |
road" faction Of the party in case the
regular convention at st. Louis en-
dorses Bryan.
A movement looking to the holding |
of this convention was started here on |
Friday and two well known hotel men |
visited other hotel men and the officials
of the Illinois road with the purpose of |
raising $500, the amount necessary for
bringing the convention here.

Associated Press Special Wire.

| ST. LOUIS, No., July 1S.-Sergeant-
| alarms Doud of the national Silver
| convention, has made arrangements to
accommodate 400 members of the press
at Music hall. Wires have already been
run into the hall for the use of the As
sociated Press and Western Union, and
the latter will have ample facilities to
handle a greater part of the special
correspondence from there.
This evening a committee of promi-
nent business of this city, irrespective
of party affiliations, called on Chair
man Mott of the national Silver COM
mittee and assured him that sufficient
money would be raised by them to de-
fray the expenses of the convention.
Chairman Mott said this evening that
: he expected the convention to be in ses-
sion until Friday night at least: 1t has
man Francis G.. Newlands of Nevada
will be temporary chairman, and it is
conceded that William P. st. John of
New York will be permanent presiding
officer. George P. Keaney of California
will be secretary
Expressions from delegates who have
arrived thus far for the Silver conven-
ton seem to indicate that Bryan will be
endorsed by it.
Secretary George P. Keaney has a
plan that when the two conventions
meet there shall be joint conference
committee charged with the duty of
making a report to the committee upon
the demands of both conventions.
"If this can be done, 1 believe" said
he, that within two days an agree
ment can be reached which will favor
the endorsement of Bryan.
IF this is not done, then it may be
agreed that the Silver men shall go
ahead and nominate Bryan as If he had
never been mentioned before. 1t looks
from present indications that this will
be the action of the Silver men any
how"
80 you think the Populists intend
nominating straight ticket?"
THAT is not the idea of many There
is q feeling of no surrender, especially
with the southern delegates, in states
like Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee and
Texas, where war has been bitterly
waged between them and the Demo-
Gratis. 1t is not so with the western,
eastern and most of tL> northwestern
delegates. They favor the endorsement
of Bryan and Sewall and have no fears
of disbanding or disorganizing their
forces in state and county elections.
"They are patriotic enough to subor-
dinate their ideas on national candi-
dates in order to allow their views on
the greatest of all national issues to
forge to the front.

VIII not be long before he is restored to

notorious stage robbers in California
Ihe Wells Fargo express officials made no

be no longer any doubt. Mr.. Bryan to-

in which he told him he would support
him in the race for president.
The letter reads as follows:
DENVER, Col, July Is, 1896.
Hon. w. ]. Bryan, Lincoln, Neb.
Dear Sir: congratulate you upon your
nomination at Chicago. 1 think the
country is to be congratulated also.
need not assure you that your nomina-
tion was more than satisfactory to me.
I think we shall be able to consolidate
the friends of silver in your support,
and If we do this I believe you will be
elected, although I do not overlook the
tremendous power that will be put
against us in this campaign. All the
power of money and organized wealth,
corporations and monopolies of all kinds
will be against us. Justice is on our
side and this is the cause of the people.
1t is a contest for industrial independ-
ence and for freedom from the domina-
tion of foreign powers and foreign capt.
talists, and it does not seem possible that
in such contest before the American
people that justice should fail and
wrong prevail. 1 do not believe we shall
fail. l think 1 can promise you the
cordial support of the western silver
men who have heretofore acted with the
Republican party, and if you get that
l think all the western. coast and inter-
mountain states will be with you.
will not offer any suggestions to you,
save to advise you that as you were
nominated without pledges of favor or
privilege to anyone that you maintain
