vention was held here today for the pur-
pose Of electing delegates to the state, con-

has ever had in this county and 1t was en-

populist party was doomed so far as Ad-
ans county is concerned. No instructions

their county conventions here today. The
populists met in the court room and the
democrats in a law once. The feature OF
the conventions was the lack Of enthusiasm
and harmony. II was evident the small
gathering Of democrats was a side show
compared with the populist gathering. A
portion Of the precincts we're not repre-
sented and but few had a full representa-
ton. The ~populists appointed a COMMITTEES
to confer with the democrats and after
the committees on resolutions and creden-
tials reported. delegates were elected to
attend the state. congressional, senatorial
and representative conventions. The dele
gates go uninstructed, but II is understood
the congressional delegates are in favor
OF returning Shallenberger. John Powers,
a former candidate for governor. is men
toned for representative. tn resolutions

announced their party Hllegiahee and
