AT ST. LOUIS.

AS WE go to press there is yet nc
definite word from the two national
conventions now in session at St.
Louis. Each convention was called
to order at II a. m, on the 22nd.
The general belief is that the popu-
list con vention will be controlled by
the delegates in favor of the nomina-
tion of William j. Bryan for presi.
dent. As to the other, the free sill.
yer convention, there is no doubt but
what it will be unanimous for Bryan,
The opposition to Bryan in the pop
list convention comes from the dele
gates IN some southern states, but it
is thought by all the conservative
men that third candidate will not
be nominated; as by placing another
free silver man in the field the votes
of silyer's friends would be divided
and the caase of Mckinley thus
strengthened.

IT is asserted that the republican
party has coined more silver dollars
than any other party, but the fact
seems to be overlooked that the bill
for their coinage bears the name of q
democrat and was passed by a demo-
cratic congress over the veto of O
republican president and was repealed
by republican congress. 1t is Just
