gan it was announced that the names
Of Hough and Serg had been with
drawn.
During the second ballot there were
several disturbances and more delay
than during the first ballot. There
was a wild scene when Hamilton coun-
ty cast its 76 votes solidly for Chap
man. After Hamilton county went
solidly for Chapman, the tide set in for
him, and the latter part of the roll
call was made with less difficulty. The

Thurman, IS; Donavin, S51a;, Chapman,

on the suicidal policy of recognizing
the silver Republicans without recog-
niZing the Populists. Daniel Babst,
a member of the committee Of the
State League of Silver Republicans

some time, stated that the silver Re-
publicanS did not ask for a place on

The silver Republicans held con-
ference tonight and expressed great
Indignation. They said it was trua
they had announced that they did not
want a place on the state ticket, but
the announcement was not made un-
til after they were told they could not
have it. They appointed a state COM
mittee to call convention to nomi-
nate a separate ticket. The Populists
also announced that they would hold
state convention and have a separate
