CHEERS FOR EUGENE DEBs


ST. LOUIS, July %, 1ssS-The slew
pregress made by the Peoples Party SO
far is exciting the ire of some of the
Populists. Jerry Simpson last night de-
nounced the officers Of the convention
as a "sct of imebc1les." Charges are
made that the failure to Night the hal
last night was a plot against the Middle
of the Road men and was designed il
part to shut off Mrs. Lease, who was to
have delivered one of her characteristic
haransues against the endorsing of thl
action Of Democratic convention a
Chicago. It is Teglarded as significant
that twenty-five minutes after Chairman
Rslt.er had adjourned the convention The
Ssghts We're turned on The secretary OF
the ST. LOUIS business Mems League,
who has the convention arrangements in
charge. however, assumes al the re-
sl,o.ssibilitv for the rsishap and says ii
was entirely accidental and expresses
his regret at the occurrence.
The Bryan and anti-Bryan forces seem
70 be d.sstrctly aligned tbs morning be-
aand rival candidates for permanent
chairman, the Bryan men favoring SEN
aeor Alfea of Nebraska and the anti
Eryan, or the middle of the road men,
supporting Ignatius Donnelly of Min
neso5a. Each side claims to nave a clear
majority of the convention.
The stand taken by the middle of the
read man recalls Senator HIPS speech at
Chicago, in which he said: 81 tell you
tEat no matter who your candidate may
be IN this convention. with possibly one
