DEMOCRATS DUST REPUBLICay
 GIVE SEAT TO DEMOCRAT

Washington. Aug. l4-Theron F.. Catlin, Republican Of Missouri, was uuseated in the house yesterday and Patrick Gill given his place. Cat lin was elected to congress from the Eleventh district of Missouri which includes many wards in the city of St. Louis. He received 2O.OSs votes to 1s.693 for Gill. A law in the state of Missouri forbids the expeu- diture of more than three hundred dollars for congressional election pu poses. Catlin himself did not spend more than that amount, but his fa- ther, who is a rich man, put thous- ands Of dollars into the campaign with what Is alleged to have been with the knowledge and consent of his son Upon the showing 1t was decided by the lower house that Cat lin was not entitled to the seat which by party vote was given to Mr. Gill. Catlin was but S4 years old when elected to the 62nd Congress.

 LEFT BUT THEIR NHIsKERs

St. Louis, Aug. 1.-The Populist National party held its convention in this city yesterday. There was no enthusiasm. and 1t looks as though there would never be another meet ing of this once famous political organization.
 Only few delegates assembled and they decided that it would be useless to attempt resurrection Of the organization. There were no funds tn the treasury and so no nominations were made. They went on record as adopting the platform of 1892. and adjourned without mak ing any preparations for the perpetu ation of the bewhiskered patriots who started many of the reforms that were later taken up by the old CT parties.
