the Bryan men to indorse the Chicago
ticket.
J. w. Cassidy of this city, who is the
moving spirit of the middle Of the
read headquarters, says that the diff
Guilty of securing cheap rates will so re-
duce the number of delegates from out
lying parts of the country that the at
tendance will not exceed 1000. OF
these he says that fully 600 favor the
''middle-of-the-road' idea, which is in
opposition to the Endorsement idea.
Coxey of Ohio, the leader of the COM
monweal movement of two years ago,
is another conspicuous Populist who
shares Mr.. Cassidy's confidence that
Bryan cannot be nominated. He in
sists that a majority of the people who
claim to be Populists, and who have
been shouting for Bryan during the past
two days, are not Populists, but DEM
ocrats, who are posing as Populists to
create a sentiment for the Democratic
candidate. He says the South, except
ing Alabama, is a substantial unit for a
nominee who directly represents Popu-
listic principles. His own State, he
says, is also a unit for the ''middle-of-
e-road" idea.
California and Pennsylvania entertain
similar views, which leaves TO the East
ern delegates the balance of power be-
tween the South and the Middle West
ern and the extreme Western States.
Texas delegates who are making a
strong fight agaiast indorsing Bryan
called a meeting of representatives from
all States with the view of nominating
straight Populist ticket. Alabama, Ar
kansas, California, Indiana, Iowa, Lou
isiana, Missouri, Mississippi, Minnesota,
New York, North Carolina, Oregon,
PENNSYLVANIA. Texas, West Virginia,
Washington and Wisconsin were rep
resented.
On the reports that were heard tits es
timated that the middle of the road
people had 100 majority in the conven
ton.
A committee was appointed to wait on
Senator Butler and ask him to define
his position as to Bryan. The committee
reported this evening that Senator But
Ter expressed himself as being in favor
of rendering the Presidential nomina-
ton on the Chicago platform to Mr..
Bryan. This report was received with
loud expressions of disapproval.
jerome ~ MI ny VI ItAdS was SuS
gested to run against Butler for Tempo
rary Chairman. A Texas delegate, how
ever, suggested that Texas did not de-
sire to assume the position of leading
the fight against the choice of the Ma
tional Committee, and advising the Sc
lection of man from another State.
After a long debate Judge Jones of
Missouri was agreed upon as the most
available man for the place, and a COM
mittee of three was appointed to visit
him and ascertain his views, but at

POPULIST PLATFORM.
At a late hour tonight it looks as If
the Populists will adopt the Chicago
platform, with certain notifications in
tended to make it conform more nearly
to the views of the delegates. At least,
that is the opinion of the Bryan men,
who claim to be in control of the con-
vention, and in a position to dictate the
platform. 1t is pointed out in TINS con-
nection that inasmuch as Bryan mas
signified his Willingness ITO accept the
nomination at the hands of the Popu-
lists, it would be unwise for the friends
of free silver to embarrass him by max
ing the platform so radical as to Of
fend any element of the Democratic
party Believing that this is the only
logical conclusion to be reached, the
Bryan men feel that the convention WIFE

this particular time urgent. 1t remains
to be determined just how much of a
