The resolute fighter struggled to

Rubin shook him off and dropped

POPULISTS ARE QUIET.

Prior to taking a recess yesterday
afternoon the populists selected com
mittees with the following chairmen: On
credentials, Alex Mackel; on permanent
organization, H. d. Moore. and on reso-
lutions and platform, O. M. Holmes. A
number Of woman suffragists then de-
scended on the platform committee, but
their efforts proved In vain.
When the convention reassembled at
7:45 p. m. Chairman Mackel of the cre-
dentials committee reported that all
counties were represented except Daw-
son, Beaverhead. Fergus, Meagher VAL
ley and Teton. There were 2S5 delegates
present in person or by proxy. The re-
port was adopted after the Townsend
band had played a patriotic selection.

Helena, Mont, Sept. 20.-The morning
air OF the Greatest Cracker Producing
CITY IN Montana contains nothing sensa-

situation, but this is no doubt due to
the fact that only a few of the delegates

Last evening the Convention hall, the
lopDles or hotels, back rooms and street
corners were scenes of stirring incidents.
The former, however, furnished the most
excitement. At one stage in the proceed
1ngs OF the convention 1T looked as If a
Tree Tight would be precipitated but as
the majority of the delegates were sober,
serious consequences were avoided The
first manifestation of trouble was follow
ed by split in the convention which
promises to result in the formation of
two democratic state tickets and two To-
cal democratic tickets in the counties of
Silver Bow, Deer Lodge and Granite.
Each of the warning factions has fused
with barrel of fighting paint with
feathers to match and will spread it on
as thick as the exigencies of the occasion
demand.
The state convention met for a second
round at o'clock yesterday afternoon,
but the committee on credentials was not
ready to report, and another recess until
1880 o'clock was taken. When the dele
gates showed up for business at the lat
ter hour, about half of the Silver Bow
delegation found their seats occupied by
an equal number Of the Hill faction from
the same county. An appeal was made
