The Camera. Farmer.

X In the very frat sentence Mr.. Bryan
uttered at Topeka, yesterday, In
acknowledging his nomination by, the
Popullst party, at Sioux Falls. Dakota,
he put his foot in st. He said: s
In accepting the presidential no,nlna-
tton which you tender on behalf :ot the
Popuilst party. I desire to give emphnt-
fc recognition to the educational work
done by your party. The Populist party,
as an organization, and the Farmer
( Alliances and the labor organizations
from which they sprung. have done
much; to arouse the people to study. Of
economic and Industrial questions.
In the first place the Populist party
is irretrievably split through the Inn
pudent manlpulations OF William Jen-
lnings' Bryan, the Middle-o the Road
faction nominating Barker. and. DON
nelly ut Cincinnati, simultaneously with
the endorsement OF Bryan at Sioux
Falls by recreant members of the Popu-
] list party. Another thing, the vice
president OF the Sioux Falls convention
has retired, and the honorable portion
of that convention refuses to swallow
the bitter pill the Kansas City conven-
( ton would force down their throa,s.
AT this writing 1t looks like another
TOM Watson revolt. But Mr.. Bryan
is uneonsclously right In bowling down
to the Influences that first lifted him
from a secluslon. from which he never
should have been dragged, to the no
toriety he enjoys to-day. Originally q
iPopulist, supporting General Weaver
for the presidency. he is to-day still
laborlng under the incubation Of. that
virus. ,i5

distress to the farmers OF the country

POSTAL CLERKS ANNUAL
OFFICERS ELECTED AND SALARY
SCHEDULE BILL INDORSED.

Various publications in the Railway
Postoff1ce, a paper supported by the rail-
way postal clerks of the United States.
and printed in st. Paul, were the subject
of very lively discussion at the annual
meeting Of the st. Paul branch of the
Tenth division of Railway Postal Clerks
at the Windsor hotel last night.
The paper was started some time ago as
an exponent of the insurance feature of
the organization, but of late some of it's
articles are claimed to have been very
much "agin the government and it took
the meeting last evening three hours to
agree to disagree.
A majority of the members were very
pronounced in their denunciation of the
sentiments expressed in the paper, and
particularly of an article which appeared
in the last issue. The statement was
made that the policy of the paper was an
tagonistic towards the officials at the
head of the postal service, and its edito-
rials had been anything but consoling.
The editor Of the publication was present,
and he had pretty lively time of it.
The following officers were elected:
President, G. H. Geary; vice president.
John A. Rafferty,; secretary and treasur-
er, ii. Harland. Delegates to annual meet
ing of the division, to be held at the
Windsor hotel in this city, next Satur-

ON THE SHIPPING OUTLOOK
ATLANTIC DISPATCH MAGNATES
HAVE EVERY CONFIDENCE
FOR THE FUTURE
HEAVY FREIGHTs BOTH WAYS
Traffic Is I'm Good shape, and the
Prospect Is for Continuance
Of Present Com
ditiOns.

T. D. Downing and NJ. s. Sutherland, Of
Downings American Dispatch, were in
the city yesterday comforting with rail-
road officials. The Downing line has
large trade between London, Liverpool,
Antwerp and other ports in Europe and
the American Atlantic seaboard ports.
There is a large field In the Atlantic
freight business said Mr.. Downing yes
terday. 1.-The general impression here in
the West seems to be that the business
between American and European ports is
subject to such close competition that
there is no opening for new lines and new
facilities. This, in my estimation, Is err
roneous have been much interested
recently in the reports of Mr.. Hills plans
for Pacific fleet, and his arrangements
to carry his freight from the end of his
lines across the water in American bot
toms. Generally speaking. an enterprise
of this kind rightly managed would be of
the greatest possible good to our own
American shippers consigning yearly I'M
mense quantities of freight to Europe.
Much of the freight shipped from the
East across the Atlantic goes in foreign
ships. There are a few lines having
direct communication with the principal
ports and with fleets of fast freight
steamers to back them up. 1 have often
thought that line operating from the
port of Boston, for instance, with con-
nectioEs at Montreal and the st. Law
renee ports, and Liverpool Havre, Ant
werp and other ports, could draw very
large share of the freight which at pres
ent goes in foreign bottoms. Such a
meet hope to see established at some
time within the next ten years. am of
the opinion that It will become neces-
sity.
Freight business between European
ports and the United States is in excel
lent condition There is heavy move

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-The Gridiroa
club held a national convention tonight
and the Washington correspondents COM
posing that organization scored beat"
on the parties which win nominate can
didates for the presidency. The April
dinner of the club was based upon the
convention idea. Over the doors to the
banquet hall were the words: 'Gridiron
Convention" and everything that fol-
lowed was on the national convention
order, in Gridlron style. The idea of a
convention was carried out in the elabo-
rate decorations. The paneled oak cell.
ing and the mirrored walls of the banquet
room were swathed in flags and bunting,
while at intervals along the sides were
flags and banners, bearing the names and
coats of arms of the states The arrange
ments for a convention halt were COM
plete. The floral display was also very
fine There was a delicious fragrance Of
spring blossoms in the room as well as a
glory of color to delight the eye.
Amid so much bunting and floral effect
few plainly printed placards, bearing
more Or less fiippant, but appropriate
legends were conspicuous. Admiral

Hanna, Quay and Reform" ETC.

convention tickets, being handsome and
unique and were brought in by two
Southern delegates" who were alleged to
have been trying to sell them ON the
outside.
There was a gentle satire In the state
ment by President West that all details
such as the selection of temporary and
permanent officers, appointment of COM
mittces, etc, had all been arranged be-
foTehand.
Then what kind of convention is
this?" asked member of the club.
"A convention on the Philadelphia
plan," was the reply. THE delegates
have nothing to do but to furnish the en-
thusiasm''
This seemed, however to be perfectly
satisfactory for then there appeared the
Gri, iron marching club, carrying red
white and blue campaign umbrellas and
wearing linen busters. After repeating
like college yell, the fact that they were
friends of Mckinley, the club marched
out and Immediately reappeared shouting
with equal enthusiasm for Bryan. 1.-The
Marching club was preceded by two
musicians, playing fife and drum, in
true campaign style.
HE FELL THROUGH.
The latest member of the club, Henry
G.. Kemp, of the Baltimore Sum- was in
troduced as the Club hero" and entered
wearing an admirals uniform. After he
had been presented with a wreath, a
sword and other trif1es, he mounted a
platform, returned his thanks, accepted
the nomination and declared himself the
peoples candidate. At that moment his
platform collapsed, and the choir sang
with lugUbrious effect: There's a Hole
In the Bottom of the Sea-"
There was a platform, of course. 1t
was Jumble of nonsensical phrases pat
termed after the usual extravagant
declarations of political conventions, but
1t was not adopted, substitute being
adopted in the shape of grfdiron plat
form, made of little planks. Gov Roose-
Velt was inlpersonated as a rough rider,
with ludicrous success
The speeches were excellent, one of the
novelties about them being the nonina-
