POPULISTS OPEN THEIR MET
Twenty Three States Represented by Less
Than 200 Delegates.

Twenty Three States Represented by Less
Than 200 Delegates.
Springfield, ILL.,, July 5.-The 500 or
600 delegates that were expected to
attend the Populist national conven-
ton in this city did not put in APP
pearance, and when the convention
was called to order there were fewer
than 200 delegates in the hall. The
citizens of Springfield took no interest
in the convention, and there were not
more than seventyfive persons present
besides the delegates. Only twenty
three states were represented in the
convention.
The convention was called to order
at :43 p. H., by Vice Chairman j. H.
Edmiston. of Nebraska, and the call
for the convention was read by 10 A.
Parker. of Kentucky, national chair
of Iowa, was made temporary chair
man and Charles Q. Defrance. Of
Nebraska. temporary secretary.
After the temporary Organiza
ton had been perfected the convention
listened to addresses by ex-senator
William V. Allen, Of Nebraska, and
Rev. A. E. Nelson. of ST. Louis. 1t
was o'clock before the speechmaking
was over, and after more delay in the
appointment of the various commit
tees the convention took a recess.
Three names only are mentioned
now in connection with the nomination
for president-Wiliam V. Allen, of Ne
brasFa: Samuel w. Williams. of In
diana. and Thomas E. Watson, Of
Georgia. Ex-senator Allen refuses to
enter into a scramble for the nomina-
ton, and practically said that he
would not accept the honor if there
was going to be any contest over it..
He wants the nomination to come to
him unanimously. Watson is in a SIM
liar state of mind. while Williams is
leaving nothing undone to capture the
nomination.
The committee on platform and res
olutions includes the following: Iii
nois. James Ferris: Indiana, Samuel
w. Williams: Iowa. J. P. Norman:
Michigan, Mrs. Marian Todd; Wiscon-
sin, Robert Schilling.

PROBLEM AS TO THE PLATFORM

Bryan Comes in Here and on the Report
!. of the Credentials Committee.
A real contest on the platform is as
Sured. No one yet knows what the
platform will be, but it is known that
the majority draft will prove unsatis-
factory to Bryan and his followers,
and there are enough Of them to make
an interesting fight on the floor of
the convention. The developments be-
fore the national committee also indi-
cate that Bryan will be in evidence
when the committee on credentials re-
port. Bryan was engaged during the
day with callers, many of them repre-
-Senting aspirants for the presidential
nomination. He discussed the situa-
tion with all of them, but committed
himself to none.
Among his visitors were some men,
bers of the North Carolina delegation,
in definite terms whether it was his
purpose to bolt the ticket in case it
should not be to his liking. He only
replied that he would answer that
question when the ticket was named.
The selection by the national com
mittee Of John Sharp Williams for
temporary chairman seems to give gen.
eral satisfaction. No determination
has been reached as to who will be
the permanent chairman. Around the
jefferson hotel, where the Democratic
national committee was in all day ses-
sion considering the manner in which
contests We're to be heard. there was
little diminution in the crowd The
Hobbies were filled with persons who
awaited with great interest the result
of the deliberations. subcommittee
We're named to hear the contests and
the waiting crowds gained no substan-
tial information to reward their pa
tience.
