BRYAN SELECTED.
WATSON WILL NOT Be WITHDRAWN.


ST. LOUIS July 27.-There was mex
tricable confusion on the floor OF the
Auditorium Saturday before the peo-
pies party convention met. The dele
gates stood about in animated groups,
discussing the situation, and what it
was best to do. The Bryan feeling was
very strong, and the telegram from the
Nebraskan declaring that he would not
accept the nomination rendered the
situation chaotic Many desired to
nominate Bryan in the face OF this tel
egram. Tom Morrison, Of Colorado,
and ex-Gov. Lewelling, OF Kansas,
however, said this would not do. They
counseled an Endorsement OF Bryon,
instead OF nomination, pointing out
that an Endorsement which did not re-
quire an acceptance, was the way out
Of the tangle.
Senator Allen called the convention
TO order at $3.50 and q committee to no
tify the candidates for president and
vice president was selected. The chair
man then called for the nominations
for president. Gen Weaver went for

hall through the main entrance and
came whooping down the center aisle.
Branch bore aloft big white banner
with the inscriptions; "Middle-of-the-
Road-A Straight Ticket" At the
sight of 1t the Texas, Georgia, Maine,
Missouri and Mississippi delegations
mounted their chairs and shouted at
the top OF their voice.
There was ripple Of applause and a
few shouts when the name OF Jacob s
Coxey was announced as member OF
the committee on platform from Ohio.
There were also demonstrations for
Gov Holcomb, Of Nebraska; Gen.
Weaver, OF Iowa, and ex-Gov. LEVEL
ling, Of Kansas, when their names
were shouted out.
The announcements we're completed
at li:45 o'clock. Delegate Dixon, of
Oklahoma, then mounted the stage
and, after adjuring the delegates to be
quiet and not interrupt, introduced
Clarena Il. Comley, Of Oklahoma, who
RECALLED the convention with some cam
paign song. An Alabama delegate then
introduced "Mistress Pennington, the
sweet campaign singer Of Arkansas T"
She sang parody on yankee Doodle

ST. LOUIS. July 93-At 1873. o'clock
yesterday Chairman 7 ubeoeck step
ped to the front Of the platform To
call the national convention OF the
peoples party to order. At the sight
OF him the Illinois delegation. which
sat Immediately below the platform,
arose and cheered. Quiet came with
the first rap Of the gavel. Rev. ". L.
Smith, OF the Third Baptist church OF
this city, delivered the invocation
while the 1900 delegates stood rever'
emily.
Mr. Taubeneck's gavel again de-
scended upon the conclusion OF the
PRAYER There was some surprise
when the chairman introduced Gov
Stone, Of Missouri, but whatever ap.
prehensions might have been raised
were speedily removed by the an
nouncement that the governor was
merely expected to make welcoming

address, Mr.. Stone did not speak
at great length. His welcome
was most cordial. lie ventured
upon o few general remarks upon the
propriety Of freedom Of the press, OF
speech and Of the ballot, which must,
he said amid applause. be preserved at
all hazards In closing, he repeated
his assurance Of welcome, In doing
which he spoke, he said, not for the
state Of Missouri alone, but for the city
OF st. Louis and for tho entire Missis-
sippi valley.
Ignatius Donnelly, OF Minnesota, re.
sponded to Gov. Stones speech. His
appearance reused the middle.of-the-
road element to o burst OF enthusiasm.
He spoke gracefully, paying a high
compliment to st. Louis and eloquent
ly describing the majestic Mississippi
and the vast country tributary to It,
but avoiding adroitly any allusion to
the subjects upon which the delegates
below him were divided.
Senator Butler was introduced as
temporary chairman by Chairman
Taubeneck, who said that Mr.. Butler
had been elected temporary chairman
without dissenting vote and he added
his belief that when the convention
should adjourn 1t would be found that
1t had acted wisely with as great
unanimity as had the committee in
choosing the temporary chairman
"We are here" said Senator Butler,
because there is need OF us to DO
here" lie referred to the fact that
two national parties had already held
their conventions. These two parties
had had charge Of the government for
rs years. The people had during this
time done their duty in the matter OF
the creation Of wealth. They had caused
the country, so far as they could, to
blossom as the rose. But these parties
had been unfaithful to their trust and
had brought the country to the verge
OF bankruptcy. The leaders OF both
had been unfaithful to their trust
Hence THE need for the peoples party.
He referred TO Mr. Mckinley as the
candidate Of aggregated capital and
combined greed He declared that
both the old parties had for years kept
the greater issues in politics in
the background. They would shun
issues and fight sham battles
No matter where the victory lay,
