IBRYANS NOMINATION WILL SURELY Be ENDORSED

Populists should agree upon common
electors. The out-and- d-outers, If they
should control, are all at sea as to can
didate. Paul Vandervoort Of Nebraska
and e. " Debs are about the only names
canvassed since Congressman Towne Of
Minnesota arrived today and announced
himself for Bryan. Although the Bryan
managers seem confident of success
they are by no means out Of the woods.
The compromise propositions pressed
upon them are the principal source of
their anxiety; Senator Marion Butler OF
North Carolina is essaying the role Of
compromiser. He believes that both
factions could be harmonized, and the
integrity of the Populistic organization
preserved by the adoption of Populist
platform, division of electors in GER
tain states and the nomination of Bryan
for president and southern Populist
for vice president. He claims that at a
meeting of representatives of all the
southern states today there was pnan-
imous agreement upon this compromise
from the south.
Senator Butler argued that this was
the only way of uniting the silver forces
so FAR as the south was concerned, be-
cause 1t was the only way of maintain
ing 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

Bryan. and select straight-out. mid
die of the road" Populist.
Senator Jones, chairman Of the DEM
ocratic national committee, has been
hard at work during the day trying to
procure the endorsement of Bryan by
the Populist convention. He has been
aided in this by Senator Cockrell Of
Missouri and Governor Stone of the
same state. Both Of these have been
trying to break the Missouri delega-
ton, which is almost solid for the mid
die of the road" 1t Is stated that In a
number of delegations which have been
claimed to be almost solid against Bry-
an more converts have been made, and
that these solid delegations have been
loaned for the sake of appearance to
the middle of the road" men, that they
may not be discouraged over the ap-
parent loss of their forces. 1t Is safe to
say, however. that the Democrats have
no idea of the actual strength Of the
middle of the road" men.
The middle of the road men continued
making speeches until quite late hour.
They had about decided to make Jerome
Kirby Of Texas their candidate for tenn
porary chairman but some of them
thought that 1t would be a good thing
to have Marion Butler declare himself
Accordingly. a committee wa9appoint-
ed to wait upon and invite him to come
before the middle of the road men or If
he could not come, to announce his po-
sition. While the committee was absent
Cyclone" Davis entered the room and
The herald., 1896-07-22

Jones of Missouri would make an ad-
mirable chairman. A Texas man i'm
mediately endorsed the candidacy of
Jones, and the conference seemed about
ready to accept him, when several del
egates demanded that Jones make his
appearance; they wanted sight Of him
before they accepted him. Many dele
gates were clamoring for dinner, and
Chairman Kirby adjourned the meet
ing until o'clock.
The middle Of the road" delegates
reassembled after supper, and were
about to select o. D. Jones of Missouri
for temporary chairman, when it was
stated that he was not delegate, and
that the national committee could not
allow him to be voted for on that
ground. An effort was then made to Sc
lect Burkett of Mississippi, but it was
decided to let the matter go over until
tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock. The
middle of the road" men assert that
they will vote for some other candidate
than Butler. but they are not sure who
1t will be.
The herald., 1896-07-22
THE DELEGATES TO THE Fighting CONVENTION

our committee he is for Bryan, is not
fit man to preside over a convention of
Populists. We want no such man."
This announcement was received with
cheers by the Populists.
An attempt was then made to nominate
Kirby, who was still presiding over the
meeting, but as several delegates want
ed an opportunity to be heard, he rec
ognized everybody. A North Carolina
man mounted the table and said North
Carolina would not vote for Butler. He
advised everybody to beware of men who
talked for Bryan.
Some Texas man nominated Judge
Frank Burkett of Louisiana for tempo
rary chairman, buth the Louisiana men
said they expected to place him on the
national ticket, and did not want to
embarrass him by having him made
temporary chairman.
A Texas man said the nomination of
Kirby for temporary chairman, in view
Of the fact that the members of the ma
tional committee for Texas had sup
ported Butler, would lose Kirby thou
sands of votes in Texas in his campaign
for governor.
A Missouri man remarked that he
could relieve the Texas people of their
difficulty, and announced that o. d.

Frederick convention by the congress
sional committee. The national COM
mittee took the position that the con-
gress1onal call was regular and seated
the Frederick delegation. This decision
had the effect of deciding the state con-
test between Hugh Pryor and John Siles
in favor Of Pryor.
BUTLER FOR CHAIRMAN
The Populist national committee de-
cided upon Senator Marion Butler Of
North Carolina for temporary chairman.
The selection was effected without much
apparent opposition, but there was an
adverse element which would have man
ifested itself If the committee had not
been. so evidently favorable to Butler.
His selection is decided victory, in
the committee, at least, for those who are
opposed to the nomination of Bryan and
Sewall. 1t was at first the plan of the
Bryan and Sewall advocates to put up
General Weaver for the position, but
they changed at the last moment to
General Fields of Virginia. who was on
the presidential ticket with General
Weaver four years ago. They believed
the opposing faction would be divided
between Butler and Hines of Georgia.
Mr.. Hines was, however, not placed in
nomination, leaving the straights united
upon Senator Butler. General Fields
was placed in nomination, but when it
became apparent that Hines was out of
the race, and when the committeeman
from one state after another rose to
second the nomination of Butler, Hines
friends withdrew his name and allowed
Butler to be nominated by acclamation.
senator Butler was placed in nomina-
tion by w. A. Guthrie of North Carolina,
who eulogized him as the son of a North
Carolina farmer and spoke of him as a
patriot and philanthropist. He said
Senator Butler was the youngest man
who had occupied seat in the senate
since the days of Clay and that he had
won and worn his laurels there as worth
lily.
Numerous seconding speeches were
made and the nomination was made by
reclamation amid a volley of applause.
]. w. Hayes of the knights of Labor
and w. D. Vincent were chosen tenn
porary secretaries.
BRYAN MEN ACCEPT
The Bryan advocates tonight an
nounced their purpose of accepting the
motion of the national committee in the
selection of Senator Butler for tempo
rary chairman. They say that while
Butler is not entirely in accord with
them, he is satisfactory to them in the
main. and that they prefer to reserve
their strength for division on the more
important question of the selection of
, candidate.
Police were stationed outside the doors
Of the hall in which the national commit
tee held It's session, and they were fire.
quently in demand to prevent personal
encounters between the contesting del
egations from Chicago. There was one
fisticuff between DIR. H. S. Taylor, the
leader Of the regulars, and Seymour
Steadman of the opposing delegation.
Neither was hurt but as it was evident
