P0PULISTS WRANGLE.
Meeting ofth state Organization ls
Marked by Disagreement-. DIR.
Swallow Nominated.

Williamsport, Pa, April 27.-The state
convention of the POpulist party was
in session at the Park hotel this morn
ing and afternoon. The delegates at
tending the convention did not pull to-
gether as harmoniOusly as they might.
In the morning sitting especially was
the disagreement marked.
At II o'clock State Chairman Charles
L. Fuller, of MeadVille, raped the
convention to order. First in order was
the election of a temporary chairman
and Wharton Barker, of Philadelphia,
was formally decided upon. Mr.. Bar
ker's election was challenged and 1t
was decided to reopen the nominations
for chairman. w. Morris Deisher, of
Reading was placed in nomination to
oppose Mr. Barker. The vote resulted
in Mr. peisher's election by one vote,
the number of ballots cast being 2S to
81.
One delegate who evidently had some
painful doubts on the subjects, inquired
'is this a Populist convention?"
He was assured it was.
Another delegate moved that this as
semblage shoulder muskets and &c
down to Cuba.
After few passing pleasantries
Chairman Deisher declared a recess OF
minutes.
On recOnvention the order OF busi-
ness was read and adopted.
The chairman appointed committees
lowing nominations for the state ticket
We're made.
Mr.. GOebel, of Philadelphia, and Mr.
Willett, of Meadville, had slight
clash, shortly after which Delegate
Willett bolted the convention and left
the hall.
Convention adjourned until 1.3O p. m
On reassembling it was found that a
number of other delegates had followed
Mr. Willett and had bolted the conven-
tiOn. Those remaining were in harmony

HOUSE DEBATES ON
REVENUE SCHEMES
A Singular Absence OF Partisan Rancor
is Noticed.
THE METHODS OF RAISING FUNDS
Various Schemes Proposed Meet With
OppOsition.-TheB Bond Section Be-
comes Target for Democratic and
Populistic Eloquence--M DoIii-
yer, Iown, Makes the Most Notable
speech of the Day.

Washington, April 27.-The general
debate upon the measure framed by
the ways and means committee to meet
the extraordinary expenditures of the
war with Spain opened in the house to-
day. 1t will continue through tOmor-
row, and on Friday at o'clock the
vote will be taken. There was a sig
nal absence of the partisan rancOr
which has always heretofore character
lied debates OF revenue measures. Both
sides, speaking through their respec-
tive leaders, Messrs. Dingley and
Pailcy, ,cOncurred in the necessity which
existed for immediate raising of hum
dreds of millions to prosecute war, but
the opposing doctrines which they held
Clashed on the first account over the
methods by which the revenue should
be raised.
The section providing for $500, 900 900
of bonds became the target for the
Democratic and Populstic opposition,
and Mr.. Bailey in an hours speech ar
gued for an income tax which would
raise 100000 900 year, the coinage
OF the silver seigniorage and the issue
of SOS, 900 0O0 of legal tender notes as
an alternative proposition. Mr. Ding
ley declared that it was almost in
credible that any one could seriously
propose in such a crisis that the gov
ernment should rely for funds upon
the proceeds of another law suit over
a proposition which the supreme court
had already decided against the gov
ernment.
OBJECTIONS TO AMOUNT.
Mr.. Sayers, of Texas, the ranking
member of the appropriations commit
tee, devoted his time to an argument
to demonstrate that the money to be
raised by the bill was excessive and
would breed reckless profigacy. The
expenses of the Civil war, in 1864,
when the government maintained
1000, 900 men in the field and had four
times as many ships as it had today
were only 81, 100, ,000, 900. In view of that
fact, he contended, that to raise $780,
| OOO, 900 to carry on a war, insignificant
in comparison, must result in useless
waste and extravaganza. The Popu-
lists all vigorously opposed the bond
proposition
Mr.. DolliVer, of Iowa, in by far the
most notable speech of the day, added
to his reputation as brilliant orator.
He assailed the position of the oppo-
sition in the early portion of his
speech, but its partisan flavor disap-
| peared toward the close, and he arous-
ed the house and galleries to cheers,
as. with eloquent words, he touched
| the high, unselfish cause of humanity
| in which the United States had drawn
| the sworn, and then melted his audi
| ence to tears as he referred to the
| blowing up of the Maine and the new
| commonwealth we would rear as a
monument to guard the memory of the
| unforgotten dead, A recess of three
hours was taken and the session ad-
| journed at 1922 tonight,

out the entire ward and encouraging re-
suits are looked for. The energetic cam
yass made by the candidates will no
doubt bring out a tremendous Democratic
vote. Never before have the chances of
a victory looked brighter for the Demo-
cratic party. The scrap between the
figure in the result, for each side accuses
the other of downright treachery. The
Minks say that the Leaguers cut their
candidate and the Leaguers retaliate and
accuse the Minks of underhand work in
order to beat the ticket today.
A Democratic victory is certainty,
for the apathy which reigns in the ranks
Of the c. o. p shows that the Repub-
licans have lost heart and have thrown up
the sponge. The Republican candidates
have failed to make canvass and the
only thing done to arouse enthusiasm was
the holding of the mass meeting at Bel
vedere Hall on Saturday evening. This ter
minated in a frost and not the smallest
amount of interest was taken In the meet
ing, not even the speakers, who seemed
to go about things in a half-hearted way.
Many Republicans have given up all hope
Of winning and predict Democratic VIC
tory.
An idea Of the lack Of interest taken
may be derived from the fact that the
sG. O. r. people could not get men to ac-
cept the nominations for Justices Of the
Peace. One man accepted and that was
Henry Petty of the League Club. The
smailness of the office was not the OBJ
stacle that stood in the way of filing the
nominations, but the men to whom the
nominations We're offered knew that the
Minks were going to cut the ticket and
that the party had no chance of winning
with the fight on between the rival clubs.
The Democratic candidates, especially Mr..
Peter Ehrhart. the nominee for Alderman,
are confident of victory, and Mr. Ehrhart
expects to win by larger majority than
Alderman Barr was elected by. He has
made a good fight for the Aldermanic
honors and should win. Alderman Barr
and City Marshal Edgar Vreeland de-
serve credit for the amount of work done
by them in this campaign and their inde
fatigable Iabors are sure to bring about
excellent results
