GOVERNMENT CLERKS NOT

PREPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington July There was a half
holiday in all of the executive depart
ments here to-day. All of Uncle Sans
employees We're at liberty to go anywhere
their fancy might dictate when the wheels
of Government ceased to move so TO
speak, at / O'Clock.
Ordinarily one would think there could
be nothing but satisfaction over so happy
a turn of events, especially when the rule
is to continue in force until the end of
September, when the autumn glow begins
its downward course.
Not SO. On every hand howl was
raised The question. why can't we go
at noon" or "Whv must the whole after
noon be spoiled by keeping us until /

Still others wanted to know if they were
going to be allowed the usual lunch half
hour. Some claimed that they might as
well have beer allowed to go at noon as
they were SO hungry they could do moth
ing hut watch the clock till !. The lunch
question was referred to First Assistant
Postmaster General Wynne, much to his
astorishment. The order providing for
the half holiday stipulated that the usual
lunch hour would not be allowed.
Another source of complaint was that
good many of the stores close at O'Clock
on Saturdays during the heated term. This
interfered so directly with the fair ones
who receive semimonthly stipend from
Uncle Sam that they considered they had
a kick coming-it would keep them away
from the bargain counters.

Springfield. H.. July 2-Already the ad-

Springfield next Monday. has arrived Nu-
mcrous exciting events are forecasted for
the convention.
The temporary organization will be made
along the lires laid down at the meeting
of the National Committee of the party
in st. Louis. Heretofore. the Populists
have frowned on attempts made by the
National Committee to dictate as to the
temporary organization. For the sake of
harmony. however. the convention will
not stand in the way of the action of the
National Committee. A. J. Burkhart of
Upton. Ind. a Nidde-of- the Road man.

sion,st. will be the temporary secretary.
Nothing has developed that would indi
cate who will be the permanent officers.
AWAIT DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION
The consensus of opinion among the
POpulists is that the future of the Popu-
lists depends upon the action OF the Demo
cratic convention in st. Louis. If Judge
Parker or Grover Cleveland Is nominated
it is predicted that the Peoples party will
then take great forward strides. II Bry-
ansand his forces dominate IL will check
the advance of the Populist party. because
1t will close the doors to possible recruits.
Some of the Populists favor the nominal
tiOn of Hearst by the Democrats. Others
are divided on the question, because they
do not know him well enough. 1t is said
that II Hearst is nominated he will get
half the votes of the Populists, not In a
fusion deal. but Individually. Many favor
indorsing him.
KANSAS PLANK.
Kansas ceres to Springfield with a pc
cular plank in its platform. 1t is in the
form of a club over the Democrats OF
Kansas to throw their strength to Hearst,
and is to the effect that further co-opera-
tion between the Populists and Democrats
depends on the action OF the st. Louis
convention; that the nomination Of
Hearst or some other equally acceptabl
Democrat is absolutely necessary to any
further fusion.
