who will preside over the meetings.
There viii be no set programme for .he
first session. A number Of speeches will
be made relative to determining what is
the best course to pursue.
Gov. Boutwell, is opposed to placing a
third tricket in the field, and will use all
his influence to prevent the nomination of
a third ticket, and likewise the indOrse-
ment of Bryan and Stevenson. He be-
lieves strong resolutions denouncing i'm
perialism should be adopted, and then the
meeting should adjourn.

night and an advisory board and some
local committees. The advisory commit

Fatal Objections to Both.
Mr.. R. A. Widenmann, of New York.
says: I'VE are confronted with a peculiar
condition. If Mckinley, who seems to be
training his guns against free silver, Is
elected, he will declare that his imperialist
policy has been indOrsed. If Bryan who
is attacking the administrations imperial
lst policy, is elected, he will declare silver
has been indorsed. Either would be con-
trary to our viewss
