st. Louis. July 12.-The impression
seems to be strong among local popu-
lists that If the democratic ticket named
at Chicago is Endorsed by the populists'
national convention on the 22d instant.
it will only be after a hard fight.
Teller is still our man. said well
known populst and silver party man.
"And watch what L tell you've Will
nominate him. We figure that it is best
for the silver cause to nominate Teller
He can carry the silver republican states,
and can secure more electoral votes than
Bryan. Bryan will carry the silver dem
ocratic states, and between Teller and
Bryan we may secure enough electoral
votes to prevent McKinley's election. IT
this can be done the electoral votes for
silver will hold together and will select
Teller or Bryan for president. This is
the latest plan of the populists."
