secure the meeting. so upon snother
vote the following day, which was nee
essarfly in the order Of proceeding
vote of reconsideration, St LOUIS re
ceIved practically the unanimous vote
and was declared the meeting place OF
the National Council for 1904
The failure of Topeka to secure the
place was the fault Of no one Her
claims We're not even presented IN
fact, the national officers who reside
here neither presented Topekas claims
nor cast a vote for this city. There was
a general understanding among the
members and even the officers them
selves that it would probably be bet
ter to hold the meeting at some otnef
place than the headquarters OF the or
der, for several reasons:
First, because there are already avery
large number Of members in this city
and it is desired by virtue of the place
Of meeting of the council to secure as
many additions to the order as possible
using the influences thus secured to FUR
Their the membership. Another reason
was the fear that satisfactory railroad
rates could not be obtained to Topeka.
No reduction in railroad rates was Sc
cured to Louisville. Special rates are
Worlds fair, the holding of which was
still another incentive for the vote FOR
St Louis Some of the members, too.
seemed to feel that if the council were
held in Topeka, the national officers IN
their home town would be given an ad-
vantage which might make action along
certain lines less independent than the
order as whole might desire. Even
the officers themselves, in order to show
themselves unprejudiced, voted for
Cleveland or st. Louis, none voted for
their home town.

snediker saw he could not be nomi-
mated and gave up after the third bal
lot. Forty-six Of his delegates went 10
Bowman and 80 to Burris, giving Bow
man majority.
The fusionists are enthusiastic and be-
Heve that Bowman will have no great
difficulty in defeating Bowersock next
November. Bowman is regarded as an
excellent nomination, and inasmuch as
Kansas City, Kan, has the fusion noInl-
nee for governor, it is claimed that
Wyandotte county will give a big ma
jority against BowersOck.
No resolutions were passed by the
Populist convention. The Dem Ocrats

ties went into joint convention. The
resolutions indOrse the fundamental
platforms Of the Kansas City conven-
ton and the state convention at Wich-

denounce the Republican surrender" to
trusts and favor legislation toward the
suppression of trusts; condemn the
Dingley tariff and the ship subsidy bill
and take q general 'swoop on the Philip

in at very early hour this morning
over the Sierra Madre railroad. There
were forty cars in this train and 1855

There are a lot of cattle of the old P. A.

out from this range. The cattle We're

The matter of the salaries Of the
officers of the order was up for consider

heen paid by a fee of 80 cents deducted
from the first money paid by each new

the officers amount to upwards of IS, 900

The selection Of St. Louis as the next

TO conclusion all the supporters of
st. Louis who We're not consulted in the
arrangement refused to vote for Cleve-

majority was not possible to take the
convention to the Ohio town. Topeka
was accordingly declared TO be Che next
place Of meeting according to the laws

q deal was made and the matter was
IeeonsIdered with the result that ST.
