State Ticket Completed and an I'd
iournment Taken.
GALVESTON. Texas, Aug. s.-The
Popuifst convention adjourned sine die
at 5:25 p. m. today. 1t completed the
state ticket with the nomination of J.
McMinn for chief justice of the supreme
court and R. V. Bell for associate jus
tice. court Of criminal appeals. E. o.
Call and D. II. Wood, who are fusion
lists, were named as electors at large,
and j. S. Bradley was elected chairman
OF the state executive committee.
The significant feature of the session
to those who add further confirmation
to the deal to fuse with Republicans
and gold standard Democrats, was the
failure of the resolutions committee to
report on the mo Watson no Bryan
resolutions.
But more than this was the failure
OF the convention to ratify the thirteen
electors elected by congressional dis
tTfcts.

This action" said he, will for obvi-

the Democrats are more Independent of
action than they are in the east, and
the lines of battle have been sharply

In that country, every man has made

BANNIGAN'S TROUBLES.
1t is Not Believed They VIII Have
Any Effect on the Pioneer EIec-
trio Power Company.

OGDEN, Utah, Aug. S.-Considerabla
uneaslness was caused yesterday after
noon by the Associated Press dispatch
from Providence. r. L. detailing the
legal and business embarrassmenfs Of
Joseph Bannigan. The dispatch stated
that all his real estate and bank ac-
counts about Providence had been lev
led upon for an alleged debt Mr.. Ban
nigan, as is known, is the chief hacker
of the Pioneer Electric Power company.
and it was feared that the complications
would result in suspension of work
on the plant.
Anxiety was increased by the fact
that the bids for the construction of
the power house had not been opened
today, as advertised. Both Manager
Cannon and Secretary Bannister were
up the canyon but Herald represent
tative took the dispatch and went up on
a wheel to ask them about it's probable
effect. The gentlemen were found at
the engineers camp near Wilson's Her
mitage, and had not heard of the levies
on Mr.. Bannigans properly. MI Can
non said:
L don't think 1t will make one iotal
of difference with US. The work will
go on just the same. 1 don't think it
viii make a bit of difference with Mr.
Banntgan. 1t would not make much
difference if he had to pay it. He is
worth about S30.O0O,OOO However, I
don't think he will have t. pay 1t, for
my experience is that he generally
comes out ahead in business matters
He has sued them for million and
I have firm faith that ne has goe4
grounds for the suit, and their counter
suits and attachments will not worry
him"
Mr.. Bannister also shared Mr.. Cam
mons opinion, and laughed at the idea
of Mr.. Bannigan being financially EN-
harrassed.
The bids for constructing the power
house will probably be opened tomor-
row and the contract awarded a day or
two later.
