THE NERVES IN SUMMER. :.
Tired Men and Women Are Made Well Again by
Paines Celery Compound.

Everything out of doors, from grass
to sky, urges tired men and women to
think Of health.
The listless, worked-out system
naturally looks to days like these to
undo the mischief done to the nerves
and brain by the long grind Of the
year past. Thousands of tired eyes
brighten at the thought of rest and
regeneration.
But any thinking person must feel
how powerless few days outing or a
paltry, short vacation is against the
steady drain on strength and vitality
that has been going on so long.
Only a positive, downright invigorator
and purifier can arouse the body out
of it's bad habit of poor health.
Paine's celery compound will do what
vacation is powerless to do
1t will build up the exhausted, ner-
vous organization, give tone to the en-
tire digestive system, and assist it to
fill the body with fresh life-blood
abundant and rich.
Paine's celery compound confidently
cures nervous diseases by overcoming
the faulty nutrition of these over-ex-
erted parts. 1t attacks rheumatism
neuralgia, and blood impurities in the
same profound manner; rouses the ex-
cretory organs to sweep out the annoy
ing bad humors, and thoroughly rids

REAL BATTLE BEGUN.
Frec1p1tated by the Report of the
Rules Committee

NOT more than half the delegates
10 the Populist convention were in
their seats at 10 o'clock, when the mas
slVe form of Senator Allen, permanent
chairman, appeared on the platform.
-Four minutes later he called the con-
vent1on to order. The committee to con-
fer with a similar committee from the
silver convention was then appointed
one from each state. When these Sc
lections were being made some one in
the gallery over the speakers stand
attempted to hang out a banner repre-
senting Bryan with one foot on the
Democratic and one on the Republican
platform. He was promptly suppressed.
The banner had been sent into the gal
lery by the Texas delegation. When
Texas was called for her member of
the conference committee, Delegate
Park, jumped up and shouted:
Texas never treats with the enemy.
Texas names no member of that com
mittee''
All the other states, however, made
selections. The committee Immediately
retired to meet the silver convention.
The regular order was called for
This was the reading of the minority
report of the committee on rules It
recommended a change in the order of
making nominations. SO as to make the
nomination Of vice president before that
of president. This was move of the
middle-of-the-road men. Delegate Nc
sGrath, of Illinois, promptly moved to
lay the minority report on the table.
Congressman Howard and Barney
Gibbs, of Alabama, demanded to be
heard on the motion. The plain pur-
pose of the straightouts was to test
SewalPs strength. The proposition
would show the extreme high water
strength of the anti-Bryan men.
Ignatius Donnelly, of Minnesota, pro-
tested against the proposition from the
committee on rules to allow the candi-
date to select the national chairman.
Judge Green, of Nebraska, made a Wig
orous reply to Mr.. Donnelly. in which
he declared that the Peoples party
would emerge triumphant from this
contest, if it grasped the opportunity to
achieve a success in November for
silver. To do so, he urged, would save
the life of the Peoples party. The anti
Bryan delegates grew obstreperous as
he proceeded, and a dozen points of
order were made, among them one that
he was not discussing the question at
issue. Chairman Allen overruled these
points right and left

The reading had not proceeded very far when
some one moved to refer the report to the
committee Of resolution, which motion pre-
vailed Mr. Valette grew angry at the sum-
mary manner in which his report was dis
posed OF. With flushed face and passionate
posture he declared that the platform repre-
sented his views, and he would maintain
them as long as he had breath in his body.
Senator Allen tried to calm him, but the
Rhode Island delegate only grew more in
censed. He waved his arms violently and for
a moment 1t looked if he intended to per-
sonally assault the chairman. Suddenly some
one cried put him OUT and several police
men came forward from the wings and hustled
him down the steps. He was afterward
elected from the hall. The previous ques-
ton was ordered. All the amendments were
laid on the table and the platform as reported
by majority of the committee was adopted.
Two motions to adjourn were voted down
and then the convention proceeded under
call of states, to receive nominations for vice
president, but finally adjourned before any
thing was done until $50 p. m.

was influenced by the use of money"
He advocated taking UP the report
section by section He wanted to NOM
mate vice president first. This state
ment was greeted with many cries of
mo, no." and jeers, while his faction of
the convention howled with delight.
Howard pleaded for the nomination of
a vice president first in the interest of
the South and party harmony.
George Abbott, of Nebraska, appealed
to the convention not to change the
regular order of business. He did not
in some things, represent his delegat-
ion. II am here to fight Sewall, he
yelled, ION every proposition. l am
here from the corn fields of the West
to shake hands with the cotton fields
of the South"
Judge Plowman, of South Dakota
who said he represented the only state
that had two Populist United States
senator's, favored the majority report,
but said South Dakota would be for
the middle Of he-road man for vice
president if the delegation could be
convinced that it was for the best in
terests of the party" This qualification
raised a storm of jeers.
A row of ten minutes followed on the
parliamentary status. Some very novel
parliamentary ideas were advanced.
The tangle was at last Strengthened
out and the convention went back and
took up the report section by section.
Another ten minutes were consumed
before the contested sections Of the re-
port was reached. Senator Butler, of
North Carolina, moved that the nation
al committee select its own chairman
instead of the nominee doing it, and his
motion was carried without division.
1t was not until the action relating
RI tho order in which tho DrpCi6aOtio |
and vice presidential candidates should
be nominated that the convention woke
up. The flood gates of oratory were
again opened.

works as far as practicable.
Sixth-The arbitrary course of the courts in

Seventh-We favor just pensions for our

Eighth-Believing that the election franchise
and untrammeled ballot are essential to a

of disfranchsement adopted in some of the
states as un-republican and un-democratic

eral state legislatures to take such action as
will secure full, free and fair ballot and an
honest count.
Eighth While the foregoing propositions
constitute the platform upon which our party
stands, and for the vindication of which it's
organization will be maintained recognize
that the great and pressing issue of the pend
Ing campaign upon which the political presi-
dental election will turn, is the financial
question, and upon this great and specific is
sue between the parties we cordially invite the
aid and cooperation of all officers and citizens
agreeing with us upon this vital question.

FAILED TO AGREE.
Silver Men and PopuIists Still Far
Apart.


ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 24.-After a
stormy session of nearly two hours the
conference committees of the Populist
and silver conventions adjourned with
out having reached an agreement. The
committee was appointed from the two
conventions to see if mutual under
standing could not be reached regard
ing platforms and presidential candi-
dates. The meeting was held in the
ladies ordinary Of the Lindell hotel and
was presided over by G. w. Baker, of
California, for the silver people, and
w. w. Erwin, of Minnesota, for the
POpulists. 1t was moved that a sub
committee from each side should be APP
pointed to draft resolutions embodying
the principles Of each party Then the
fight began. Half the delegates pres
ent were demanding a chance to talk
at the same time. Order was at length
restored and several speeches were
made. Finally, the following resolu-
ton was adopted:
Hesolved, That it is the sense of this con-
ference committee that a union of all the
forces, including the Peoples party, silver
men and free silver Democrats and Republic
ans, is expedient and should be effected at
once for the purpose of achieving victory for
the advancement of free silver in November
When this was adopted the confer
ence adjourned. 1t was said by Mr..
Baker that there were so many differ
ent views and that the requirements of
the two parties were so widely apart
on some points that a mutual platform
could not be drawn. 1--WE decide to 60

SLAP AT SEWALL.
Victory for MiddIe-ROaders on "a
Test Vote.


Test Vote.
With some difficulty the speech-mak-
ing was cut off and the vote was taken
by states on the adoption of the minor
ity report recommending the nomina-
tion of vice president before president.
The anti. Sewall delegates lined up in
favor of the adoption of the minority
report. The roll call was followed with
intense interest. When North Caro-
lima was reached Congressman Skinner
mounted a chair and insisted on max
ing a statement.
North Carolina he said, Stands
with Nebraska. When we came here
this morning, we were for the minority
report, but since then we have had as
sUrance from Kansas, Nebraska and
other Northwestern states and North
ern states that, if we would permit the
regular order to prevail the cause of
Populism in the South should be rec
ognized by the nomination of a South
ern candidate for vice president.
North Carolina therefore, casts eighty
five votes for the majority report and
ten for the minority
Alabama and Texas attempted to
challenge the vote Of Tennessee, which
cast her seventy-seven votes for the
majority report, but the chair ruled
this out Of order. BY this time, it was
rumored about that the minority report
had a small majority in it's favor. Sen
ator Butler and Congressman Skinner
held a hurried consultation on the plat
form. Mr.. Skinner then rushed back to
his delegation. He mounted a chair
and sprang a sensation. He said the
vote Of North Carolina had been cast
upon the understanding with certain
Western and Northern states that the
vice presidency should go to the South
Are you sincere?" he cried. 81 de-
mand to know as I am empowered to
change the vote of North Carolina"
Eyes, yes" came from various parts
Of the hall. but these cries were
your vote" shouted Texas, while Tom
Patterson, of Colorado, called out, Col
orado has made no pledge"
Bedlam broke loose. The band
played, men wrestled with each other
and great excitement prevailed. When
order was restored, Congressman Skin
ner again demanded absolute pledges
1--WE don't want this convention run, -
he shouted, "as Grover Cleveland was
elected-by false pretenses'' He was
proceeding with long grafton, de-
livered in a dramatic fashion when he
was interrupted with cries Of do
something"
The vote Of North Carolina was not
needed to carry the minority report,
but after these cries Mr. Skinner dra-
matically cast the ninety-five votes Of
North Carolina for it amid the cheers
of the anti-Sewall crowd. The an
nouncement of the vote was 1856 to 615
in favor of the minority report, and
was, of course, the signal for another
enthusiastic anti-Bryan demonstration
Following is the yea and nay vote
