presidential possibility at the meeting of
the National Negro party in Philadelphia,
says: ~ have heard rumors of the for

far as net voting is concerned, / believe in
voting If I were up to my neck in blood.
In regard to a presidential nomination
have no desire or ambition to be dragged
around in the mud. This action of the col

doubt inspired by the recent talk about

WASHINGTON, June 7.-Shortly before
the final adjournment of Congress this
afternoon a scene was enacted in the DEM
ocratic cloakroom of the Senate that was
not down on the bills. The strain incident
on the prolonged sessions had not only
wearied the senators, but had rendered
them a trine irritable. Senator Allen, of
Nebraska. made some very free and frank
remarks, addressed to Senator Butler, of
North Carolina, concerning the latter's al
legged violation OF an agreement that there
should be no nomination at the Sioux Falls
Populist convention for Vice President
The remarks fitted Senator Pettigrew, of
South Dakota, apparently well But
Ter, and he took the matter up. Allen then
denounced Pettigrew as traitor" Pet
tigrew resented the reproachful term, and
the two Populistic statesmen clinched.
Friends interfered before any blows were
struck and there the affair ended for the
time being The trouble grew out of the
nomination of Charles A. Towne for Vice
President by the Sioux Falls Populistic
convention. 1t seems that an understand
ing existed between Allen, as Bryan's near
est friend. and Butler and Pettigrew. 1t
is now charged that Butler and Pettigrew
repudiated the understanding and helped
to nominate Towne. thereby disarranging
the plans of Bryan and Allen. whose pro-
gramme was to have Bryan nominated for
President by the Populists and to leave the
second place on the ticket untitled, so as to
give the Democratic partner of the political
combine something to do at Kansas City
