DISCORDANT PoPULIsTs.
CHICAGO, August 2l.--The latest re
ports received here indicate that the Pop
,,Itp tab In, ,n
meet in this city on the 2Sth instant, may
not be as harmonious as was predicted
when the executive committee was in ses-
sion here early in the month. The meet
ing is called for the purpose OF selecting
candidate for the Vice Presidency.
" hen Mr.. Towne declined the nomination
or the Populsts 1t was generally sup
posed MIR. Stevenson would receive the
Populist endorsement by general consent.
The correspondence which has taken
place among members of the National
Committee of that party since the Execu-
tive Committee meeting makes 1t plain
that this result, while apparently still
probable, will not be accomplished with
out struggle. Indeed, 1t Is understood
that many of tho leaders of the party are
strongly urging that the committee shall
nominate an independent candidate. Those
who take this position include majority
OF the officers of the National Commit
tee. among them being Chairman Butler
and Treasurer Washburn. who are pro-
nCunced in their Views. Vice Chairman
Edmiston is also said to incline towards
the opinion that wisdom demands that
the Populists have candidate of their
own In the field. Secretary Edgerton is
credited with being the only officer OF the
organization who Is friendly to the en-
dorsement of Mr.. Steyenson's candidacy.
Mr.. Stevenson's friends claim that Ed
gerton is working In their behalf. The best
canvass of the campaign that they have
been able to make causes them to feel
hopeful of the result. Still. those now
to this course are considerably
below a majority in numbers.
Senator Butler and others who agree
with him contend II would be suicidal for
their party not to have a candidate of
their own political faith in the field. They
also hold that unless there is "A Populst
candidate for second place many Popu-
list votes will be driven from Mr.. Bryan
The National Committee has full power
10 act In accordance with the Instructions
OF the Sioux Falls convention. and II Is
presumed its decision, when made. will
be final.
