PLANS OF MIR. TOWNE.
He Indicates He Will Withdraw From
Populist Ticket.
CONVENTIONS IN NEBRASKA.
Democrats, PopuIists and Silver
Republicans Finally Reach an
Agreement on State Ticket and
Presidential Electors.

Lincoln, Neb., July 12.-In a speech to
the Democratic state convention Charles
A. Towne made a statement, even more
positive than the one made to the Silver
Republicans, Indicating that he would
withdraw from the Populst ticket
Daylight found the three state conven-
tions in session after all night sessions,
and with practically no progress further
than the adoption of their separate plat
forms. The whole question hinged on
whether the Democrats would yield from
the position that they had taken that
they should have two places on the state
ticket, together with all the electors for
piesidont and vice president An effort
to bring about Il surrender was howled
down dcrisivply.
In the Populst gathering at the same
time some fiery speeches We're made in
denunciatiun of the stubborn attitude as
sumed by the Democrats. n motion was
made that the Democrats be given the
electoral ticket and the Populists take
the state offices. 4 warm debate follow
ed, and delegates accused one another of
wanting to trade off the rights of Mr..
Tuwnc for a few state Offices. No vote
was taken on the motion
a Plea For Harmony.
Meantime. III the Democratic cOnVen-
ton, w. IL. Thompson pleaded for har-
mony and further overtures, to the Popu-
lists. The Silver Republicans were
quiescent throughout the night, simply
waiting for the others to act.
Shortly after the three conventions
took a recess until 10 o'clock.
The conference committee reported to
the conventions on reassembling an agree
ment to give the Silver Republicans the
office of lieutenant governor, the Demo-
Gratis the offices of treasurer and commits
sioner of public lands and buildings and
the Populists the remainder of the ticket.
This division was acceptable to the DEM
ocratic convention, but not to the Popu-
lists, who refused to give two places to
the Democrats and made counter offer
of one place to the Democrats-any office
they wanted.
An agreement was finally reached CIV
ing the Democrats two state offices, Sill
yer Republicans one and the 'Populists
the rest. The Populists were to name
four presidential electors, the Democrats
three and the Silver Republicans one.
Nominations for governor were declar-
ed in order by the Populists.
AS the ballotng proceeded it was seen
that Governor Poynter hpd a walkover.
| Before the result was announced the re-
nomination of Poynter was made unani-
nous. He then addressed the convention.
