that case, and in return, the Demo-
Gratis should concede the Populists the
vice-presidency.
But" suggested some one in the
crowd, when the Texas leader was
exploiting this plan, do we want the
vice-presidency?
For God Almighty's sake" replied
Mr.. Davis, "do we want to let any,
thing go by default? If the Democrats
would not accept this proposition, they
would be responsible for McKinley's
election. Do they expect us to lie
down and give them everything and re-
ceive nothing in return? They are
asking US to give up all; it is only rea-
sonable that we should demand some
of the loaves and fishes.''
The more conservative Of the mem
bers Of the two extreme factions are
beginning to regard the situation as
grave one, and there have been many
informal conferences during the day,
looking towards getting together on
some plan like that suggested by Sen
ator Butler. They fear that If this
cannot be done, a bolt is inevitable,
Whatever the action Of the convention.
and this they are exceedingly anxious
to avert. They express confidence to-
night that they will be able to reach
this result. The two extreme factions
each assert, however, that they will
never yield and the situation is ad-
mittedly critical
The friends of Mr.. Bryan assert that
he would never accept nomination
by the Populist convention which did
not carry with it, a like nomination
for Mr.. Sewall, and they quote Mr..
Bryan as having taken this position
in dfscoursing upon the matter with
delegates who have been to visit him.
He is represented as considering it
dishonorable and impolitic to have
himself named without a like honor
being conferred upon his Democratic
running mate. It is also stated, as
coming from Mr.. Bryan, that he is
opposed to all propositions of fusion,
as tending to the weakening Of his
campaign and the confusion of the
voters. The stauncher of his followers
declare they will not depart from this
position, whatever the result They
declare they would prefer to bolt.

POPULIST CONVENTION MUCH
MIXED,
DAVIS CLAIMS MAJORITY.
FACTION WILL CARRY THE
DAY.
BUTLER PLAN HAS BIG FOLLOWING
Southern Men United for an Effort
to Drop ScwaIl's Name From
the Ticket.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 2.-It is ap-
parent on the eve of the convening Of
the national Populist convention that
there will be three factions in the con-
vention-the e-of-the-road ele-
ment, headed by Cyclone" Davis, of
Texas, which will stand out against
all compromises; the faction favorable
to the Endorsement or nomination of
Bryan and Sewall, and the compromise
men, headed by Senator Butler, Of
North Carolina, who favor the indorse-
ment' of Bryan, but who contend for
the right to name Southern Populist
in place Of Mr. Sewall for the position
of vice president.
The Bryan people are still holding out
very stiff1y against any and all COM
promises, and some Of them go SO far
as to say that If they are not success
full in their contention, they will leave
the convention. Senator Butler is
strong In the position that Mr. Bryan
should be indorsed upon a Populist
platform, but says the Southern peo-
pie would never accept Mr.. Sewall, not
only because his Affiliations are not
with them, but because above all, If
they surrender both offices, it would
mean the destruction of the Peoples
party. He claims to have almost the
solid South behind him and a strong
following in the Northern states.
Mr.. Davis combats this position,
claiming majority in the convention
Of over 300 in favor of travelling in the
middle of the road, by which he means
that no compromise is possible in the
convention.
Mr.. Davis contends that, in taking
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-07-22
his energies are bent in that direction.
He believs that both
FACTIONS CAN BE HARMONIZED

FACTIONS CAN BE HARMONIZED
and the integrity Of the Populistic
organization preserved by the adoption
of Populist platform, a division of
electors in certain states and the NOM
fnation of Bryan for president and a
southern Populist for vice president
He claims that at meeting of repre-
sentatives of all the Southern states
today there was unanimous agreement
upon this compromise and that it will
have behind it 4SS votes from the South.
Senator Butler argued that this was
the only way Of uniting the silver
forces, so far as the South was con-
cerned. because 1t was the only way
or maintaining the autonomy of the
Populist party in that section.
The Bryan men assert that this Is
utterly impracticable and the Demo-
cratic managers refuse to listen to any
proposition involving the withdrawal
of Sewal. The latter say they are
firmly convinced that three-quarter of
the Populists of the North and West,
and many in the South, will vote the
Chicago ticket on the issue presented,
no matter what this convention does.
Chairman Jones is using all his ener-
g1es to secure the nomination or In
dorsement of the Democratic ticket. He
says to all who approach him that the
silver forces should get together on the
issue and let bygones be bygones. They
should, he urges, fraternize on the
same cause. He refuses to make
pledges in Bryan's name, and Gov. Hol-
combe, who came direct from a visit
to Lincoln, said that the Democratic
candidate declined to enter into any
compacts, but that the Populists as
well as others must rely upon him Cor
fair treatment.
Altogether, sizing the situation up
tonight, 1T seems reasonably certain
that Bryan will be indorsed. Beyond
that, nothing can be safely predicted.
A resolution will be introduced in the
convention to make the field daisy the
emblem Of the Populist party. AS con-
ventionalized for use as an emblem, 1t
would have 16 silver petals with gold
center, indicating the slogan Of the
campaign, Is Of silver to 1 Of gold.
Buffalo" Jones, of Oklahoma, has
submitted a novel proposition to the
campaign managers. He wants to
yoke up couple of buffaloes and fol-
low Bryan about the country and head
all the big professions. He says Jerry
Simpson, Of Kansas, has agreed to
drive the team.
The national committee today select
ed Senator Butler Of North Carolina,
for temporary chairman. He was put
forward as a compromise and will be
accepted by the Bryan people, but
there is talk that he will be opposed
by the middle of the road delegates.
The Bryan managers repudiated Gen.
Field, of Virginia, and withdrew his
name. The middle of the road men
| did not name a candidate. They de-
sire the selection of Jerome Kirby, of
Texas. Tonight they demanded a state
ment from Butler and when he an
nounced himself for Bryan they de-
cided to fight his selection in the con-
vention tomorrow.

with Gen. Weaver four years ago.
They believed that the opposing fac
ton would be divided between Butler
and Mr.. Hines, of Georgia. Mr.. Hines
was, however, not placed in nomina-
ton, leaving the straights united upon
Senator Butler. Gen. Fields was
placed in nomination, but when it be-
came apparent that Hines was out of
the race and when the committeeman
from one state after another rose to
second the Butler nomination. Hines,
friends withdrew his name and al
lowed Butler to be nominated by ac-
clamation.
senator Butler. was placed in nomi-
nation by W. A. Guthrie, OF North
Carolina, who eulogized him as the
son Of North Carolina farmer and
spoke of him as patriot and philan-
thropist. He said that Senator Butler
was the youngest man who had occu-
pied seat in the senate since the days
OF Clay, and that he had won and
worn his laurels there most worthily.
Numerous seeonding speeches were
made and the nomination was made by
reclamation amid volley of applause.

but admits that there would be in the
South. He asserts, however, that in
all sections the Democrats would poll
their full strength, and that even in
the South the defections to the Pop
ulist ticket would come entirely from
the Republican party.
His plan is to divide the electors in
the various states according to the ra-
ito of the Democratic and Populist
vote. TN our state, for instance" he
says, ''the Populists would have six
members Of the electoral college, and
the Democrats nine" This, he says,
would give Bryan the electoral vote of
that state, and If 1t should become ap-
parent that he had a majority of the
college, he would receive it.

districts of his state, but he had considered
the movement in the nature of a personal

ST. LOUIS, July 21.-It is generally
accepted as a fact among the Populist
delegates today. that if Bryan and Sc
wall are Endorsed by the Populist con-
vention, that the Populist party would
be accorded a liberal representation
upon the Democratic executive COM
mittee. They believe they will at least
have two or three members of the COM
mittee. The understanding also is that
the silver Republicans who are for
Bryan will also be given representation
in the management of the campaign.
Chairman Jones, Of the Democratic
committee would neither confirm nor
deny this report in so many words, ex-
cept to say that no definite arrange
ment had been made.
