POSTPONED UNTIL
 TODAY AT 10 O'CLOCK
THE JOINT CONFERENCE OF COAL OPERATORS AND UNITED MINE WORKERS WILL BE HELD AT FOX'S HALL.

The joint conferences between the Coal Operators Association and the United Mine Workers will begin this morning at 10 o'clock at Fox's Hall. The opening ses- sion was to have taken place yesterday morning, but the miners were not ready to submit their propositions in regard to wage scale for the year beginning July l.
 The miners met In St. Pauls Hall yes teiday at 10 a. n They began to assem- ble fully an hour before the appointed time, and wher the clock struck ten the pre- sident rapped for order. There was a very full attendance.
 The first business was the appointment of committee to call on the operators end ask them to postpone the joint con ference for a day.
 The scale as reported by the committees at the Bess smer convention was taken and prepared for presentation to the op- orators in joint conference. The session was executive and nothing was made public.
 It is understood that the miners will demand an elght-nouf day ana a Senl- monthly pay day. Further than these two items no one outside of the miners organization seems to have even an ink ling of what propositions will be submitt- ed. It was said on the street yesterday that some of the miners were opposed to having a scale signed next month in view of a possibility of their being called out by the national executive com mlttee. But it is known that the majority of the leaders here take a conservative view and want to sign the scale. There may be a good deal of sparring for a day or two, but 1t is generally believed that the miners and operators will agree and that work will continue as usual. The coal operators assembled at Fox's Hall yesterday morning ready for the joint session but when the committee of miners came to ask for postponement un- til today they promptly compiled with the request.

 Look to Bryan.

Grand Island. Neb., June 23.-Delegates to the Populist and Democratic State conventions which will be held tomorrow, began to pour into the city this after noon. Over 12o0 delegates are accredited to each convention ard it is expected at leest 2000 will attend

 It is still the unanimous opinion that if MT Bryan will accept the nomination for governor there will be little left to do but to divide the rest of the ticket. The minor offices are attracting little atton- tion, although there are a largo number of prospective candidates for these of- fees.

 Should Be Read In Full.
 MT. Cleveland's speech should be read in full It answers a useful purpose; 1t outlines the plan of campaign decided upon by the plutocratic elements for which the reorganizers stand. Tariff re- form is to be made the chief issue and the men who voted for Mir. Mckinley, the high priest of protection, are to carry on a sham battle with their companions of 1896, while the financiers make the dollar redeemable in gold and fasten upon the country an asset currency and a branch bank system. Trusts are to be denounced in sonorous terms, while the campaign managers mortgage the party to the trust magnates in return Tor campaign funds. oDetimes imperialism will be denounced as in Mir. Hopkins Illinois convention: some times ignored as in Mir Cleveland's speech; but whether denounced or ignored. the secret and silent power that compel submission to the demands of the f1nanciers and to the demands of the trust magnates can com pei submission to the demands of the ex- ploiters and the representatives of mili- tarism.
 "The fight is on between a Democracy that means Democracy and a Cleveland ism which means plutocracy. Every speech made by MT Cleveland shows more clearly the odiousness of the poli- tics for which he stands. We have more to fear from those who, like MT. Hill, indorse Mir. Clevelands views. but con- ceal their real purpose in ambiguous lan- guage."
