a Defeat for the Middle-of-

kilograms for Transmission to Other
State Conventions Stir Up
Controversy.

ATLANTA, GA, Aug. 7.-Seaborn Aug
ustus Wright was announced by acclama-
ton for Governor by the Popuiists this
morning. No other name was put up.
The triumph OF Wright was victory fol
the Populist. Prohibition fusionists and he
will make the race on the issue of prohibi.
tion. The defeat of the middle-of-the-
roadsters, who opposed extreme declara-
tion in favor of prohibition and who were
opposed to going outside of the party for
q candidate, was complete.
Mr.. Wright has been an independent in
politics. He is a successful lawyer oil
Rome and is comparatively wealthy. He
IS 36 years of age and is magnetic and
brilliant orator. The negroes voted SOL
idly for Wright. and c. B. Walton, q
negro leader of Augusta, pledged the SUD-
port Of 60 per cent of the negroes OF
Georgia to Wright. He predicted that all
the white electoral vote of the Republi-
cans would drive the negro Republicans to
the Populist ranks. Mr.. Wright was
brought before the convention and
made stirring speech. The State ticket
was completed without contests. Little
interest was taken in naming the other
candidates. For COMPTROLLER, General Sea-
born b. Bell of Burke was named; for
Commissioner of Agriculture, w. f. Smith
OF Decatur; for Treasurer. w. G. Sibley OF
Richmond; for Attorney General. Donald
Clarke of Chatham. The nomination of
Sibley further emphasized the victory for
the fusionists. He is the leading Prohibit
Zionist, but not Populist. and his wife
is at the head of the w. G. I. U. in
Georgia.
The platform adopted by the convention
declared for prohibition and indorses the
action of the st. Louis convention. No
action was taken regarding the Vice-Presi-
Dental muddle. The nomination of
Wright was peculiarly the expression of
the wishes of Thomas f. Watson. He
proved himself to be an orator of no mean
ability. w. C. Sibley made his first ap-
pearance in Populistic convention. His
two brothers, both prominent Populists,
were appointed committee to introduce
him to the convention.
The convention adopted a resolution
authorizing the State comm ittee to nego-
tiate with the Democrats for fusion on
the electoral ticket whenever the Demo-
Gratis withdraw Sewali, but not before.

IN The TEXAS CONVENTION.

kilograms in Anstcer to Messages OF
Greeting Cause Trouble.
GALVESTON, Tex, Aug. THE sem
sation of the Popullst State Convention
was sprung this morning when the com
mittee appointed to formulate kilograms
in answer to messages OF greeting from
other Populist conventions reported. The
committee was composed of Barnett Gibbs,
who made the speech nominating Kearby
"Stump" Ashby, nominee for Lieutenant
Governor, and Henry Tracy, editor OF the
Southern Mercury.
The kilograms they brought in for the
approval of the convention were: Reply
ing to the Louisiana convention: Texas
provides full electoral ticket and declares
for Watson, then Bryan" Replying to
the Kansas convention: "Texas returns
greetings. Will put middle-of-the-road
ticket IN the field" Replying to the
Georgia convention: "Texas unanimously
indorses Tom Watson and the middle-of-
the-road ticket
The kilograms were received with
cheers.
s. Fl. jenkins, chairman of the platform
committee, addressed the convention OPP
posing the sending of kilograms, saying
they would be firebrands which would re-
suit in the defeat of Populism. He said
he was middle-of-t -the-road man at st.
Louis, but bowed to the will of that con-
vention. Bryan had not been officially
notified OF his nomination, and if this ac-
ton should be taken Populists could
truthfuily be accused OF insincerity in
their desire for reform.
1t looked as if jenkins had the conven.
tion with him, but when the point oil
order was made that nominations were
the order OF business the convention re.
fused by big majority to suspend the
rules and allow him to continue his speech
The matter will not come up again until
the nominations are completed,
Ben Terrell, another prom inent leader
says that If the kilograms are sent he will
not make speech during the campaign
The long session of the convention was
taken up In trying to complete the State
ticket. AS far as the ticket has been made
up 1t is as follows: For Governor, jerome
&c. kearby; for Lieutenant-G Governor H
). T. Ashby; for A ttorney- General, w. M
falton; for Com ptroller, e. O. Mitzner.

Bloody Riot


CLEVELAND, OHIO, Aug. IA riot
was narrowly averted at the corner OF st.
Clair and Louis streets this evening. A
number of children in that locality gath
cred and began to annoy the militia
pickets. The latter charged and scattered
the children. Hundreds of people were
passing. returning from work, and several
expostulated with the oIdiers. The pickets
then ordered every one off the street.
Edward Nicholas came down the street
with MS wlIe.. He was ordered off the
str eet, and as he did not move quick
en- ongh lie was iabbed with bayonet.
His wife demonstrated and was threatened
with the steel and compelled TO flee. A
crowd quickly gathered and threats OF
stoning the nilitiamen were made. Just
as a general row, with probability of
bloodshed seemed i'm minent, company
of troops arrived on the'scene, dispersed
the crowd and changed the pickets. The
action of the militia has caused intense
bitterness against them.

DAYTON'S BLUFF REJOICEs
PATRIOTISM AT HIGH TIDE

Long ago, in the dim and misty
past, the aborigines of the upper Mis-
stssippi valley reared mounds ON what
is now called Dayton's bluff. These
mounds COMMUNICATED deeds of val
or in the chase or on the warpath, and
served as a repository of the bones Of
some great warrior. When these
mounds were being laboriously raised,
little thought was there In the brains
of these bronZed monarchs Of the wild
Northwest that the time would come
when the feet of hundreds of children
of the hated "pale faces" would desc
crate the largest and most conspicuous
of these same monuments; or that,
amidst the roaring cannon, the music
of bands the songs of children and the
shouts of thousands, the emblem of
the power of progress of the white race
breeze waited from the Mississippi.
And yet, this scene was witnessed
yesterday by some l 800 school children
and twice as many patriotic men and
women. The children were attendants
of the Van Buren,, Sibley, Lutheran
and st. John schools. The flag was
raised at 4:30 p. M, during the thunder
of cannon and the singing of the "Star
Spangled BANNER" by the great num-
Der Of spectators present.
At the foot of the largest mound a
platform had been erected. and on the
