ing. Mr.. Walters of Indiana, moved as
an amendment that all persons who in
the past had bolted the action Of Pop,i-
list conventions and refused to support
the nominees should be barred out
Notwithstanding many of the persons
recognized by the minority had bolted
the Bryan and Watson ticket, in some
instances supporting Bryan and Sewall
and In other instances supporting Nc
Kinley and Hobart, and although sew
eral persons recognized by proxy
otherwise were affiliating with Demo-
Gratis, and not recognized as Populists
by the party in their several states,
this amendment was lost by vote Of 49
to Z. The original amendment then
carried by an almost unanimous vote,
and the minority of one national COM
mittee has gone upon record as being
willing to seat confessed boilers, Demo-
Gratis and Republicans in their COM
1nittee, but refusing to seat Populists
whose only fault was the presumption
on the part of few politicians that they
might bolt the action of a convention
which had not yet been called

10 A. Parker, on behalf of the middle
cf-the-roaders, asked the chair for a re
reading of the delegation from Arkan
sas, which was done. He then asked fo
what cause and by what authority tn,
name of A. w. Files was dropped from
the rolls Of the committee. Rober
Schllling at once arose and asked BY
what authority Mr.. Parker came int
the committee meeting, stating that h,
was not Populist.

| will appoint the following committee,
replied Senator Butler, who, amid 6
storm of protests, named as committee
on credentials, Senator w. v. Allen ol
| Nebraska, James B. Weaver of Iowa
and J. H. Davis of Texas. Mr.. Davis die
not serve and Harry Tracy of Texas
and later Tom Patterson of Colorado
was appointed in his place.
! A number of delegates were trying to
| get recognition of the chair to protest
! against the appointment of such a
biased committee, when the chair, with
out more ado, declared the committee
adjourned until o'clock Notwith-
| standing emphatic protests Senator But
Ter refused to recognize a demand for a
vote on adjournment, and walked down
from the stand, deserting the chair. AS
soon as this was done Mr.. Parker ct
Kentucky moved that Mr.. Beaver OF Ne
braska take the chair. The motion car
ried. Ali Reed of Iowa was elected Sec
retary and an adjournment was taken,
after appointing a committee of thcee
on credentials, until 7:3O o'clock. At
the time the committee received the re-
port of the committee on credentials,
showing 81 mmbers Of the committee
present in person or by proxy. Another
adjournment was taken, subject to the
call of the chair.
The boiling faction of the committee,
which had left the hall before the legal
adjournment of the committee, held
session at night and representatives of
the regular committee met with them
and submitted, through Messrs. Alien,
Butler, Edgerton, Tracy and Patterson,
the following propositions of harmony
between the factions:
THAT the majority would yield to the
minority and recognize their organiza-
tion and sit with them, provided they
would accede to these propositions:
That the committee recognize only
legal proxies, stamped with revenue
stamps. according to law.
That the roll of the meeting at Oma-
ha i'll 1898 be accepted as the roll of the
committee, except where subsequent
state conventions have elected new
members; except that cases OF contest
shall go before a contest committee
composed Of five members-two to be
appointed by the friends of Senator But
Ter and two by the friends of 10 A.

BRYAN SATISFACTORY
TO WALL STREET
sHiLOCK WILL SUPPORT HIM eTHrS
YEAR.

Inc Dallas, Texas, Southern Mercury
in its last issue, says: :
The Cleveland Recorder is a stauncl
Bryan paper, and from it's columns W,
clip a dispatch from New York under
the startling headlines, wall Stree
viii Support Bryan It consists of tn,
g'st OF an editorial from the N,w Yorl
! Telegraph, the Tammany organ. as
! follows:
The change in political sentiment ii
Wall street has been little less than
phenomenal in the last month. and the
wise observer has noticed that this
time WALL STREET is ALMOST A
UNIT IN IT'S DESIRE FOR THE
ELECTION OF A DEMOCRATIC
PRESIDENT.
A year ago SO remarkable a switch
would have been beyond belief, but
that this change in sentiment has taken
place is recognized by every promi-
lent banker and capitalist on "the
street
1t is not that they love Bryan more
but that they love the administration
less. Senator Mark Hanna, Secretary
Gage and President Mckinley have to-
gether broken any sense of allegiance
Wall street may have felt towards the
Ere' cnt administration, and there now
exists only bitter feeling of resent
rlent against Hanna, Gage and McKin-
ley. This sentiment is taken from
general f1ocking to the standard of
Bryan, and the intention to support
him solidly against the administration
c,ew.
- he rapid turn about in Wall street
is due to strong suspicion that the ad-
ministration is helping the Standard
Oil trust to the detriment of the smaller
concerns in Wall street. With many
this has gone beyond a mere suspicion,
and feeling of self f-preservation is
forcing the small bankers and business
men to organize against Mckinley.
Especial cause of soreness against
the administration exists because of
tie assistance given by Gage, at the
Instance of Hanna and Mckinley, to
the City National bank That concern
is under the control of the Standard
Oil interests and the smaller fry feel
that the institution is already too arro-
CANT and too greedy to be encourageu
f'D ther in its gluttony
They remember that in the Inst
Tanic, month or SO ago in Wall street,
those beggars for ready money who
were forced to appeal to the City Ma
t.oIal had to make certain concessions
to the Standard Oil interests, and that
while most pleasant for the Rockefeller
crowd, were anything but profitable to
those forced to borrow from the bank.
The institution was then re,eiving
from Secretary Gage the succor that
made it possible for it to continue TO
harry the weaker concerns of the down.
town section and force them to terms.
"Ihe rancor against the Standard Oil
and other Rockefeller interests, felt by
the mass of the people in the Street is
responsible for the rebellion against
the governmental syndicate in Wash
lngton, and there has grown up strong
feeling, that safety from further com

| of the United States.
The call of the committee is the only
legitimate call which can be issued. as
the faction which claims that it is the
national committee at it's best was only
able to muster 50 votes, two less than a
quorum. Of these Is were proxies with
out the required revenue stamps, and
consequently illegal; IL were men who
were refused right to sit on the COM
mittee at the meeting in Omaha in 1898,
as shown by the report Of the creden-
tials committee, which is in the posses
sion of this committee and bearing the
signatures and Endorsement of William
V. Allen, A. H. Cardin, John P. Bu-
chanan, G.. A. Barlow and Eltweed
Pomeroy: and five others have been
turned out by the regular conventions
in their several states since the holding
of the meeting at Omaha, as the party
law provides, at regularly held state
conventions; while certain proxies were
held and voted by persons who do not
and have not for some time past aff1li-
ated with the Peoples party in their
own states
1t Is with regret that your committee
has to chronicle this record of political
chicanery. We had hoped to see har-
mony prevail here; but when this lille
gal and arbitrary power to decide who
should sit in the sessions of the national
committee and who should not was in
voked to gain temporary advantage, it
ecame clear that under any conditions
uron which such an illegal committee
would issue call for convention, the
same tactics would be pursued there in
making up temporary roll If the CON
vention, and the will of the majority, it
faatters not how great, thwarted by 4
few designing politicians Recognizing
this and feeling that we are in the right,
that we represent the sentiments and
principles Of the rank and file of the
Peoples party throughout the United
States, the majority of your committee
refused to tempOrize further with the in
significant minority which presumes to
dictate the policy of great party
It has been evident for some years
that the intention Of certain persons
placed in the leadership of the Re )pie's
party has been to lead the stalwar5 re-
form voters who make up the member
ship OF our party into the camp of the
Democracy. This has been
to some extent through
the policy of fusion. through which prin-
clple and honor are put upon the auction
block and sold in exchange for Offices
and position. Your committee does not
