select eighty-four delegates to the national
convention at Sioux Falls, to-day instruc-
ted the delegation to vote solidly for Will

quet on special train. Fifty thousand
people escorted the Nebraskan to the city
square and cheered him heartily as he
spoke on the issues of the day.
In the convention during the vote on
delegates, George Easterwood, of Kansas
City, said he had heard that Democrats
would spend $10,0O0,000 in the Kansas City
convention to beat Bryan. Judge Pfost
asked what the Kansas delegates should do
if there should be a move to adjourn the
Sioux Falls convention until after the Kan
City convention to see who the Demo-
Gratis would name.
w. F. Green of Wichita, favored NOM
inating Samuel NJ Jones, Of Ohio for Vice
mayor on the ticket Ohio and Michigan
would be lost to the Republicans. "Nomi-
nate Bryan and JONES'" he said land your
campaign Is over"
The proposition to indorse Jones for the
second place on the ticket was making
rapid progress when Albert Griffin declared
that Jones was not eligible because he is
not a native born citizen of the United
States, and this ended the talk i'm that
direction. eff you adjourn to Kansas
City" Griffith continued, you will do
nothing but what the Democratic bosses
tell you to do. The Populst party is in
danger If you become a tail to the Demo-
cratic kite this year the Populist party is
gone forever"
Colonel ]. J. Donaldson advised the con-
vention to tell its delegates to go to Sioux
Falls and adjourn the convention to Kan
sas City. Then said he, "let them do
the best they can and may God help them -
The delegation was finally unanimously in
structed for Bryan.

WICHITA, Kan, April 25.-Allen o. My
ers, of Ohio, responding to toast at the
banquet of the Sunfiower League of Kan
sas, following William j. Bryan, created a
sensation by his utterances. Mr.. Bryan did
not finish his speech until after 1 O'Clock
this morning. Mr.. Myers drew dark pic
ture. The country was fast racing to de-
struction, said he. and Mark Hanna, Will
liam Mckinley and Great Britain were
driving it.
Then, suddenly turning toward Mr.. Bry-
an. the speaker exclaimed: you may be
elected, sir, by million majority, but they
will not permit you to take your presiden-
tial chair. Look at the fate of William
Goebel. Men whose pastime is bribery find
in murder an amusement. Ohio was bought
in 1896, the country was bought, it will be
bought again in 1900, and Mark Hanna
reward for it is a seat in the United States
Senate"
The masses Of the country would con-
tinue to permit the encroachments on the
classes, concluded Mr.. Myers. until finally
too late for restoration of rights by the
ballot Then the sword and gun, violence,
revolution-a new order of things.
