finish he was driven from the platform
by point of order that the States
should be called in alphabetical order.
But the rules were suspended and he
was permitted to go on. When Ala
bsma was called Mr.. KOlb yielded to
General Weaver, who formally placed
Mr.. Bryan in nomination In o speech
which Is reprinted in another column.
1t was followed by the greatest demon.
stratiOn the convention had yet wit
messed, General Field, who was
WesVer's running mate In 1892, moved
to suspend the rules and nominate by
aCclamatlOn. A roll-Call was ordered
because of the inability of the Chair
to determine the result of q UiOG oOce
vote. Before the roll.csll proceeded
very far General Field withdrew bis
motion. A telegram was read from
Eugene V. Debs in which he declined
to permit his name to be used. Thomas
V. Gator Of California, Delegates Hines
of Georgia and ClagRett of Idaho, KOlb
of Alabama, Jerry Simpson of Kansas
and Miller of Tennessee seconded
Brysn'H nomination. Mrs. Minerva
Roberts, Colorado delegate of pleas
ing appearance and clear, strong voice,
made a telling speech for Bryan.
Henry l.. Call, formerly Of Topeka
but now of New York, spoke against
Bryan and SewRll and nominated Col.
S. F. Norton Of the Chicago Sentinel.
Ignstius Donnelly spoke for Bryan and
opposed the idea of insisting on his
acceptance Of the nomination and
platform. Calamity Weller of Iowa
protested against the nomination of
Democrat candidates. Judge Green of
Nebraska vOuched for Brysn's sympR-
thy with POpulism. Dozens of dele
gates seconded the nomination of
Bryan and several speeches were made
against him. Cyclone Davis wanted
an agreement that If Bryan did not
accept the candidate having the next
highest number of votes be declared
the nominee. The roll-csll was tedl-
GUS one and was frequently interrupted.
Rumors that Bryan had fatty refused
to accept caused considerable disorder.
The result of the vote was, Bryan |, ,042,
Norton 32l, DonDelly /. The conVen
tion then went wild again. Fifteen
or twenty minutes we're spent In cheer.
ing and yelling. The State standards
were psraded about the hall and every
thing that wild, excited, enthusiastic
crowd could do to give vent to their
feelings, was done. The ultra middle
ofthe-road people took no part in the
demonstration. When order was re-
stored, a motion to adjourn was adopted
and the second National convention Of
the Populist party disbsnded.

but I want to see you take all Of the
road and force everybody else out Of it.
We never want to get into that stupid
attitude where we will stand so closely
in the middle of the road that the pro-
cession will pass US. Let US keep our
position in the middle Of the road, Let
us keep the others on their side Of the
road. Let us preserve our organization
SO perfect that it will force the two old
parties to go into the fields outside Of
the road. No man has yet ever deter
mined or defined what the middle of the
road means. We can inscribe it upon our
banners, but yet ask any two men in this
convention for a definition OF that eX-
preston and they will not agree. AS /
understand the expression, the middle
of the road it means this and nothing
more, that the old party methods Of cor
ruption and ballot-box stuffing, which
have been resorted to in securing elec-
tions in the past, must be abandoned,
and in lieu Of that, my fellow-citizens,
that which is powerful, that which is
lofty, that which is patriotic, that which
is just shall be adopted. That is the
middle of the road"
In closing he advocated the defeat of
Mckinley and pointed out the way to do
it. He desired that the convention
should nominate Bryan and combine all
the votes opposed to the gold standard
on him.
At the conclusion of his speech Sen
stor Butler moved to appoint commit
tee to confer with the Silver convention.
The motion was adopted.
The Friday session began with a
speech by Mrs. Marion Todd of Mlchl-
gan, in which she referred to the death
of Mrs. S. E. V. Emery, the author of
"SeVen Financial Consplracies. She
offered appropriate resolutions in rela-
tiOn to her and her life work, which
weIe adopted. A California delegate
objected to federal officers sitting in
the convention. No action was taken.
The conference committee to confer
with the Silver committee was named.
1t was stated that the committee was
named for the purpose of ascertaining
If possible If common ground upon
which each could stand could not be
found. The committee had no author
ity to bind the convention, as It's re-
port was subject to consideration by
the convention in the same way as
other reports are.
The minority report of the Commit.
tee on Rules was then taken up. II
changed the order of business so that
the Vice President would be nomi-
mated first. EltWeed Pomeroy, the
direct legislation leader, explained the
meaning of the reports. Donnelly OBJ
jected to the proposition to permit the
candidate to choose the National
Chairman, and intimsted that the re-
suit Of this convention might leave the
party in such condition that the com
mittee would be about all there would
be left In four years. Judge Green Of
Nebraska replied that if the Populists
grssped the present opportunity they
would emerge from the coming cam
psign with renewed life and Vigor and

Center. These gentlemen are represents
tive Populists and will be credit to the
party.
The newspaper men were much pleased
with the manner in which Chairman
Roselle Of the Press committee handled
the matter Of providing for the boys.
The press galleries were conveniently
arranged and the accommodations were
good.
Senator Allen was chosen as Chairman
of the committee to notify Bryan. The
Kansas member is Colonel w. A. Harris.
The committee to notify Mr.. Watson is
headed by Senator Butler. S. S. King
is the Kansas member Of that com
mittee.
The Kansas delegation did everything
in its power to secure a complete union
OF forces by the nomination OF Bryan
and Sewall. The delegation made this
fight because it was apparent to the
members that the people of this State
who opposed the gold standard did not
want their forces divided.
The Texas delegation wanted a rad
ical platform and straight nomination
for both President and Vice President.
The delegates left nothing undone to
accomplish it. They even went so far az
TO howl down men who disagreed with
them both in the convention and at the
Reform Press Association.
The National committee organized by
electing Senator Butler Chairman, j. A.
Edgerton Of Nebraska Secretary and
NJ. @. Rankin Of Terre Haute, Ind, Treas
urer. The Executive committee con-
sists of j. Il. Sovereign, Ark, Wash
burne, Mass, Taylor, Pa, Reed, Ca,
Breidenthal, Kas., Dore, Calf.
Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Arkansas,
Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware. Florida,
Indian Territory. Louisiana, Maryland,
Montana, Massachusetts, Nevada, North
Dakota, New Mexico, New Hampshire,
Oklahoma, South Dakota. Utah, Yer
mont, Wyoming and the District of
Columbia voted solidly for Bryan.
The members of the various commit
tees from Kansas were Resolutions,

tials, 0. L. Smith; Rules and Order Of
Business, Judge Cyrus Heren; Perma.
nent Organization, Senator A. G. Forney
Jerry Simpson was Chairman OF the
delegation and p. f. YearOut, Secretary.
The middle OF the road people made
themselves ridiculous by charging that
every mishap in the convention such az
the absence Of light on the first evening
was q dodge OF the Bryan men. The
same men and papers put themselves in
an equally ridiculous position by chsrg-
ing that Governor HolcOmb and others,
among the best Populists in the country,
we're merely in the party because they
as Democrats could get nothing in their
own party.
Miss Helena Hartnell Mitchell OF
Alton, Kansas, talented young lady Of
whom the Kansas contingent had reason
to be proud, afforded agreeable enter
tainment to an impromptu meeting in
the parlors OF the Lindell at st. Louis,
and later in the convention.

made to sdont q tWO.thirds rule In
nominating candidates, but the motion
did not get before the convention.
The result of the vote on the change of
order of naming candidates was 1856
to 615 In favor of nominating Vice
President first. The decisive majority
was given by North Carolina changing
her ninety,flve votes before the result
was announced. This was the result
of the failure on the part of Senator
Butler and Congressman Skinner to
get an agreement from the Bryan peo-
pie that Southern man should 20 on
the ticket.
The minority report faVOring three
committeeman from each State instead
of one was agreed to. The National
committee was instructed to choose
its own Chairman.
The platform was then read by Gen
ersl Weaver, who was Chairman of
the Committee on Resolutions. A mi
nority report was submitted by Jerome
Kesrby of Texas. He complained
that the committee report bore too
strong a resemblance to the Democrat
platform. The convention evidently
thought the platform as originally re.
ported was all right, as it was adopted.
Mr.. Coxey submitted a minority re.
port embodying his nOn-interest bear
iug bend proposition, but 1t was not
incorporated into the platform.
The nomination Of Vice President
was the next order OF business. Con-
gressmsn Skinner was placed in noml-
nation by Colonel Bowman. Congress-
man Howard of Alabama nominated
ex. Congressman Thomas E.. Watson of
Georgia. J.-R. Sovereign of Arkansas
and Delegate Johnson of California
seconded the nomination.
Ex'Congressman Lafe Pence, for
merly of Colorado but now of New
York, nominated Arthur Sewsll. The
nomination Of Watson was seconded
by Azmsn Murphy, Harry Tracy of
Texas, and L. A. StockWell of Indiana.
Calamity Weller of Iowa nominated
Frank Burkett Of Mississippi Colonel
Harris seconded Sewsll's nomination
while Judge Doster seconded Wstson's.
Captain Burnhsm nominated A. L.
Minis of Tennessee. L. G. Bate
man, nominated Mann Page of
Virginia. Donnelly seconded Wat
sons nomlI alton. Everyone who
could get recognition seconded the
nomination Of somebody. The conven-
tion got tired of this and became snx-
ious to vote. While Mr.. Patterson Of
Colorado was speaking he yielded
few minutes of his time to Senator
Stewart Of Nevada. The Senator made
an appeal for the cause of silver, but
the middle of.the,road people who were
not In pleasant frame of mind, hissed
him, shouted "time" and prevented
him from concluding. The roll-csll
began at midnight. When it was COM
pleted 1t was evident that Watson had
q majority and before the vote was an
nounced it was made unanimous. BY
this time the convention was ready to
rest until morning.
In the meantime Bryan had been
communicated with on the proposition
to accept the nomination on q ticket

 LlNCOLN'S WIDE SYMPATHY.
Treated All People Alike in a Courteous Manner.

Manner.
 Horace Greeley once said: T doubt whether man, woman or child, white or black, bound or free, virtuous or vii cious, ever accosted or reached forth hand to Abraham Lincoln and detect ed in his countenance or manner any repugnance or shrinking from the prof fered contact, any assumption of supe- riority, or betrayal of disdain.'
 ''Frederick Douglas. the orator and patriot, is credited with saying: MT. Lincoln is the only white man with whom I have ever talked, or in whose presence I have ever been, who did not consciously or unconsciously betray to me that he recognized nay color
 George Bancroft, the historian, al- luding to this characteristic, which was never so conspicuously manifested as during the darker days of the war, beautifully illustrates it in these mem orable words: AS child, in dark night, on a rugged way, catching hold of the hand of it's father for guidance and support, Lincoln clung fast to the hand of the people and moved calmly through the gloom"
