POPULISTIFICATION
WHOLE DEMOCRATIC TO BE
THE POPULIST "IT."
Stevenson VIII BE Accepted in Place
of TOwne TO-Day-Bryan's Move
ments Beginning at WahOo.

CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-Unless the unex-
morrow will be substituted for Charles A.
Towne, as the vice presidential nominee
on the Populist ticket. A poll of the ma
tional committee of that party was taken
tonight, and the Illinois man was SEEM
ingly assured a comfortable majority. The
Populists who are advocating unity with
the Democrats predict that the selection
of Mr.. Stevenson to be Bryan's running
mate, on both tickets, will be unanimous,
though Senator Marion Butler, chairman
of the committee, and several others have
declared themselves as unalterably opposed
to such action.
Chairman Butler arrived in Chicago to-
day, n found in waiting a number of his
fellow-committeemen. He was in confer
ence with his associates at the Sherman
House during the greater part of the even
ing. The friends of Stevenson, it is un-
derstood. brought every argument to bear
on the Senator In favor of a speedy and
decisive meeting.
While Senator Butler would not discuss
the meeting, Eugene Smith, secretary of
the conference committee. and the official
in charge of the Chicago headquarters,
was not so ret!cent. Friction is out OF
the question: he said. Everything will
run so smoothly that you would not believe
an important political question was being
passed upon. / have no authority to make
a forecast of the committees action, but
from what / have heard l am pretty certain
that Populists will be working with all their
energies for Bryan and Stevenson"

FELL DOWN AN AIR SHAFT.


NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-H. Coulter Brinker,
a theatrical manager of Newark, was found
dead early this morning at the bottom of
an air shaft in the Grand Hotel. After his
death it became known that more than a
year g he married Miss Abel, his leading
lady.
Mr.. Brinker fell from the sixth floor of
the hotel. His head struck the bottom of
the shaft. He was clad only in his under
clothing, and 1t is believed he went to a
window of the shaft to get a breath of
fresh air and lost his balance. The theory
of suicide is not entertained by his friends.
Accompanied by Thomas Doyle. a friend
from Newark, Mr.. Brinker went to the
hotel about midnight Saturday. The two
registered, giving New Orleans as their
address, and were assigned to adjoining
rooms. They retired at once and nothing
more was seen of Mr.. Brinker until a hotel
porter found his body.
Mr.. Brinker was thirty-three years old
and was the son of Capt. III. j. Brinker, of
New Orleans, owner of a line Of steamers
on the Mississippi and Red rivers. Before
coming to Newark he was leading man of
the Imperial Theater, st. Louis
Miss Abel announced tonight that she
and Mr.. Brinker were married July l, 1899,
by a Methodist clergyman in the Catskills.
I'VE kept our marriage secret for bust
ness reasons" she said. MY husband was
happy in his home life and in authorization
he sat at the open window to get air. as he
frequently did at home, fell asleep and
pitched headlong into the shaft"
The bod was taken TO Newark tonight.
II probably will be buried at Apple Grove
farm. Ohio. the summer home of Mr.. Brink
er's father.

The Voters of > o

New YORK Post.
Bryan remarked In a speech at Wahoo, the
county seat of Saunders county, Nebraska.
yesterday, that he did mot believe you
can find in this county any man who voted
with us In 1896, and who understood the is
sues then before the country, who has
changed his mind on those issues and now
believes that the Republican party was
right In 1896" We have no evidence about
Saunders county, Nebraska, but there have
been abundant proofs that In many Of the
States west of the Missouri river, where
Republicans voted for Bryan on the issues
of 1896, a host of them have since become
convinced that the Republican party was
right in that year and nave returned to IL.
Washington, for gave Bryan al
most 1880 plurality In 1896 and elected two
opposition representatives in Congress by
almost as large pluralities. while in 1898 1t
gave the Republican candidates for the
important element I'm this revolution was
the change of opinion among the farmers I'm
the eastern part of the State, who had ac-
cepted the Bryan theories about silver in
1896 and rejected them in 1898. More conclu-
sive still is the evidence furnished by Ore
gon. In the State election of June, 1896,
the opposition polled 1853 votes for one
of their candidates and 26,l35 votes for the
other-a total of A, 75S. against only 40. 451
for the Republican nominees; whereas last
June the Republicans had a majority of
more than 5000 over a fusion ticket, and
that, too, on a platform which was fiat
footed for the gold standard. Bryan is in
deed living in a fools paradise If he really
believes that no voters have changed their
minds about the issues of 1896.

DYING in THE DESERT
THREE MEN LOST IN THE WILDS OF
WESTERN TEXAS.
Their Bicycles Broke Down and They
Were Nearly Dead of Thirst When
Found by q Rescue Party.

Ell PASO. Tex, Aug pa runner ar
rived here this afternoon from Cole ranch.
sixty miles north of Ell Paso, bringing
news that three men were found almost
persisted of thirst on the desert beyond
there yesterday afternoon. He says that
one of the men is Prof. r. H. Cook. who
recently came to this city from the East.
The men left Alamo Gordo, N. NJ, on BIZ
cycles Thursday, bound for FL Paso. They
took the overland route through the Tula-
rosa valley. On that route there is a desert
of sand seventy miles wide. When the
three men had gone about thirty miles
their bicycles broke dow and they had to
walk. One of the men reached the Cole
ranch but had to be treated for several
hours before he could speak. He then told
of his companions. Two men with Jugs or
water tied on their saddles went back in
search of the missing men. One was found
fifteen miles away exhausted and uncon-
scious in the sand and was brought TO the
ranch.
The other, Professor Cook, was found
twenty miles further away, in spasms, and
probably would have died in an hour had
he not received water. All the men are
now in a critical condition at the Co;e
ranch. The names of the other two men
were not learned.

CAPTAIN LEFT CAMP.
Took His Company and Deserted the
Alabama State Guard.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Aug. 26.-There was
a sensation this afternoon at Camp Law
ton, where the Third Regiment Alabama
National Guard is encamped, when Captain
j. P. Merchant. of Company l.. Phoenix
City rifles, marched his company off the
field against the orders of his superior Of
ficers and later left camp with thirty Of
his company and came to Birmingham.
A detail of ninety men was sent to this
city to arrest the deserters and a number
of men were arrested and taken back to
camp, but Captain Merchant was not
among them, as he could not be found.
Captain Merchant says that his action was
based on the alleged fact that his men
were being drilled too much in the hot sun,
after having travelled all night, but the
regimental officers say it was due to the
fact that another officer was put in COM
mand of the company, when Captain Mer-
chant failed to appear in time for drill.

IMPERIALISM IN THE SOUTH.
The Issue Finds Few Sympathixers
or Supporters There.
New York Evening Post.

New York Evening Post.
1t is interesting to watch the develop
ment of sentiment in the South on Bryan's
proposition to make opposition to imperial
ism the paramount issue and ''the consent
of the governed the rallying cry of the
campaign. Before the Kansas City con-
vention a large proportion Of Southern
Democrats had committed themselves in
favor Of holding the Philippines on the
ground that this policy would promote
Southern trade. Pretty much all OF them
were also on record against asking the
consent of the governed when IL was a
question OF the colored race in their own
States. A few weeks before Senator Till
man read the paramount issue plank OF the
platform in the Kansas City convention he
had boosted In the Senate that I'VE took
the government away from the blacks. we
stuffed the ballot boxes. We shot them. We
are not ashamed of it," A few months
earlier Senator Morgan, of Alabama. the
leader on his side of the chamber, had de-
ciared himself against allowing any man
with a black Skin 10 vote in his State, no
r'atter how good his character. how excel
lent his education or how considerable his
property.
rillman undoubtedly has assurance
enough TO come North and make stump
speeches in favor of self-government for
The Fil'pinos after having taken IL away
from the negroes of his own State. but
he is just now fully occupied I'm an attempt
TO deferd his dispensary system and is
abusing the clergy Of all denominations be-
cause they do not accept his views Nor
gan is perfectly independent now that he
IS assured OF another six years I'm the Sen
ate, and he took occasion the other day 10
declare once more his Endorsement of the
Mckinley policy i'm holding the Philippines.
A few Democratic newspapers in the South
show some heart in opposing imperialism,
but more ar. perfunctory in supporting
this par of the Kansas City platform, and
cthers openly reject IL. One OF the latter
class is the Memphis Commercial-Appeal.
an influential Tennessee journal. which has
been carried away with the expansion poll
icy from the start and which now says:
There is no such thing as Imperialism
contemplated by any party. Legitimate
and necessary expansion is an accom-
plished fact. Talk Of Imperialism is arrant
nonsense. and nonsense cannot be made a
paramount issue any more than an ele-
phant can be made an eel by writing on
its trunk, This Is an eel Tennessee's
coal, iron and cotton must find a market
in the Orient. and the people should be
educated up 10 the point where they can
see the utility and benefits of expansion"
Evidently Bryan would find ample field
for missionary work I'm the South II il were
i.ot for the fact that it's votes will be re-
turned for him without any reference to
tie platform on which he runs.

this city. was dismissed last night by the
trustees n building committee of the
church. Owens was not pushing the work
as rapidly as desired and failed to complete

and that amount has been practically paid.
About $4,000 additional will be required to
complete the building. Postmaster A. \.

the building. The old structure will be

cost of S30.0 900, and was for many years the
finest church structure in the North In
