Most of tho Populists Refused .to Be En-
thused by an Adroit Effort—The
Story of the Proceedings of a
Particularly Dull Day. i
ST. LOUIS, July 24.—-Delegates, both
Populists and silver, were abroad early to-
day, and they assembled in groups in the
hotel lobbies or on the street corners and
argued with one another, made speeches
and often became greatly excited. Many
of them had been engaged in this business
until long after midnight, and today they
appeared with red eyes and looked fagged
out and weary. The day opened bright
and hot. At 6 o’clock the air had become
oppressive, and as the sun rose higher the
heat increased and also the humidity,
causing perspiration to stand out in great
beads on the faces of the sweltering thou-
sands who tramped the streets.
The middle of the road Populists, at
least the leaders, appeared to realize today
for the first time that they could not con-
trol the situation, and, although the rank
and file still cried for absolutely independ-
ent action, most of the leaders were talk-
ing compromise on the basis of a Populist
vice presidential nominat'on and a divi-
sion of the electors. They have made many
mistakes, and perhaps none will prove
more costly than the dumping of Ignatius
Donnelly, whom they had selected as their
candidate for permanent chairman, for
Campion of Maine, who is bitterly op-
posed to Sewall. Donnelly’s friends are
very much incensed. Furthermore, the
middle of the road Populists cannot get
control of the committee which will for-
mulate the action of the convention.
The Byron men considered today that
they had Bryan’s nomination practically
assured and were working like beavers to
save Sewall. Should they be beaten in
this latter regard, the chances seem to favor
the nomination of A. L. Mimms of Ten-
nessec.
A middle of the road meeting was sched-
uled at the convention hall at 8:80 o’clock
this morning, but it did not materialize.
The delegates were either too tired to come
together or it was evident to them that
nothing could be accomplished.
The Early Scenes.
The-Populists. began assembling in ih
convention hall soon after 9 o’clock. The
air in the hall was extremely oppressive.
The delegates, with their coats slung over
their arms, stood about in the sultry at-
' ~=‘- .4’4',’ ‘

mosphere discussing the situation, the ad-
'visability of indors‘ing Bryan, the planks
of the platform and kindred topics. The
middle of the road men could be heard
vooiferatlng everywhere. The noise they
made could be heard above the music that
floated out from the gallery. J. J. Crane
dall of Camden, N. J., was about distrib-
uting circulars in favor of the ratification
of the “plathrm of the newborn Democ-
racy lately christened at Chicago.”
“ The trouble will soon begin,” he shout--
ed. “We don’t want harmony.”
Soon after 10 o’clock Senators Stewart of
Nevada and Kyle of North Dakota joined
Senator Allen and General Field of Vir-
ginia on the platform. The tall form of
“Cyclone” Davis of Texas could be seen
everywhere on the floor towering above the
delegates. “Stump” Ashley of South Caro-
lina, who distinguished himself last night
by making a dozen or more speeches while
the convention was in darkness, held forth
from a chair. The Texas delegation con-
tains some of the most uncompromising
men in the convention, and they were mad
to the bone at the prospect of being balked
in their middle of the road policy.
At 10:05 Senator Marion Butler, the
temporary chairman, appeared on the plat-
form. Simultaneously the band struck
up “Dixie,” and the delegates uncorked
some of their pent up enthusiasm.
The attendance in the galleries, as yes-
terday, was very thin. Not more than 500
persons were in the balconies. Five min-
utes laterChairman Butler called the con-
vention to order, and the Rev. Mr. Smith
offered a prayer for blessing upon the com-
mon country.
The committee on credentials was not
ready to report, and the roll of states was
called for committcemen on permanent
organization.
The delegates sat in the sweltering heat
as the announcements were being made.
Almost every one in the hall had supplied
himself with a palm leaf fan, and the
thousands or more fans waved in the pit
like the wings of myriads of yellow but-
terflies hovering above a clover patch.
Big sunflowers adorned the fans of the
Kansas delegation. There were at times
long delays, and the delegates grew per-
ceptibly impatient. The middle of the
roaders were extremely suspmious. They
intimated that it was part of the plot to
defeat their...‘
After tho-‘announcement of the commit-
tee on permanent organization the mem-
bers retired. While other announcements
Were being made a middle of the road man
attempted a demonstration. It was dra-
matically arranged, but it only served to
demonstrate the hopeless minority of the
straightouts. A squad of middle of the
readers, headed by Delegate Branch of
Georgia, suddenly plunged into the hall
throu h the main entrance and came
whooping down the center aisle. Mr.
Branch bore aloft a big white banner with
the inscription, “Middle of the road; a
straight ticket.” At sight of it the Texas,
Georgia, Maine, Missouri and Mississippi
delegations mounted their chairs and yell-
At the same
time a middle of the road delegate station-
I
ed in the gallery over the platform hurled
out through the air about a peck of small
green tickets, which broke and fell like a
cloud of stage snow over the pit. The four
delegations gave cheer after cheer, but the
others sat stolidly in their seats. About a
sixth of the delegates joined in the demon-
stration. The greep tickets, when exam-
ined, contained the middle of the road
financial plank.
Vocalists Entertain Delegates.
The anouncements were completed at
11:45. Delegate Dixon of Oklahoma then
mounted the stage,and after requesting the
delegates to be quiet and not interrupt
introduced Clarence E. Comley of Okla-
homa, who regaled the convention with
some campaign songs. He was small of
stature, but he had a good baritone voice,
and the words of his songs tickled the
delegates immensely, and they applauded
at every opportunity, despite his depreca-
tory gestures. The words of the song dealt
with the wonders Of the Roentgen X ray.
They made several allusions to Mr. Cleve-
land’s fishing and duck hunting trips. and
concluded with a prediction Of the defeat
of the goldbugs in November. An Ala-
bama,delegate then introduced “Mistress
Pennington,” the sweet campaign singer
of Arkansas. She sang in a pleasant so-
prano a parody on “Yankee Doodle Dan-
dy,” each verse of which concluded:
Yankee Doodle, get your gun,
Shoot the goldbugs every one,
Yankee Doodle Dandy.
Delegate Crawford of Kansas moved
that the delegates of the Silver convention
be admitted on exhibition of their badges.
There were many cries of “No, no!” from
the middle of the readers, who evidently
thought they saw in this a move to pack
the galleries with Bryan shoutcrs. Sor-
geant~at-arms McDowell got on the plat-
form and said it was impossible to carry
out such instructions Thereupon Jerry
Simpson mounted a chair and said it was
no more than common courtesy to extend
to the other convention, which was here
in a common cause, the same privilege
which it had extended to the delegates to
this con-vention. After some wrangling
Chairman Butler, amid howls of delight
from the straight outs, ruled the motion
out of order. Mr. Washburne of Massa
chusetts from the stage announced that he
had an important resolution to offer. It
proved to be one deprecating the talk of a
split in the convention. It was intended
to bind the convention and was as follows:
“Whereas, We are all Populists and dep-
recate the talk which has appeared in some
of the newspapers that there is a disposi-
tion on the part of any portion of this con-
vention to refuse to abide by the action of
this convention; therefore,
“Resolved, That we repudiate all such
utterances as a. reflection upon the fidelity
W E EKLEYI' N Uflw AD
’nnn onoonnnonnneo.
l
of the members of this convention and oi
the People’s Party.”
Mr. Washburne said the question of pre-
serving the organization of the “grand
party” was vital and called for a full dis-
cussion.
A storm of protests came from the mid-
dle of the readers, and one of them made
the point of order that before the conven-
tion was permanently organized no such
resolution could be acted upon. An angry
Connecticut delegate named Henry C.
Baldwin jumped on a chair and indignant-
ly shouted, “If the papers say we are asses,
shall we pass a resolution saying we are
not?”
Chairman Butler ruled that during the
temporary organization a resolution could
be passed expressing its sense. Thereupon
Congressman Howard of Alabama moved
to refer the resolution to the committee on
resolutions. Delegate Branch of Georgia
followed with a motion to table the whole
subject. There was a great deal of con-
tusion as the vote was taken viva voce,
Chairman Butler deciding that the motion
was carried. This disturbing question out
of the way, Delegate Willis of North Da-
kota moved to take a. recess, and after an-
other song and much discussion this was
done.
THE PROBABLE PLATFORM.
it “’ill Follow Closely the Lines of the
Omaha Declaration.
ST. LOUIS, July 24.—The leading mem-
bers of the Populist party are generally
agreed that their national platform shall
follow closely the lines of the Omaha plat-
form adopted four years ago. This plat-
form, if agreed to, will be more or less
modified, and in this form will be prac-
tically as follows:
“First—We demand a national cur-
rency, safe, sound and flexible; issued by
the general government only, a full legal
tender for all debts, public and private,
and that without the use of banking cor-
porations, a just, equitable and efficient
means of distributing direct to the people.
“Second—We demand the free and un-
limited coinage of silver and gold at the
present legal ratio of 16 to 1.
“Third—We demand that the amount
of the circulating medium he speedily in-
creased in sufficient quantity to transact
the business of the country on a cash basis.
“Fourth—We demand a graduated in-
come tax.
“Fifth—We believe that the money of
the country should be kept as much as
possible in the hands of the people, and
hence we demand that all state and na-
tional revenues shall be limited to the nec:
essary expenses of the government, eco-
nomically and honestly administered.
“Sixth—We demand that postal sav-
ings banks be established by the govern-
ment for the safe deposit of the earnings
of the people and to facilitate exchange.
“Seventh. -— Transportation being a
means of exchange and at public necessity,
the government should operate the rail-
roads in the interest of the people.
“Eighth—The land, including all the
national sources of wealth, is the heritage
of all the people and should not be monop-
olized for speculative purposes, and alien
ownership of land should be prohibited.
All land now held by railroads and other
corporations in excess of their natural
needs and all lands now owned by aliens
should be reclaimed by the government
and held for actual settlers only.”
It will be observed that the subtreasury
plan, which was one of the features of the
Omaha platform, has been eliminated. It
has been explained that this was only
agreed to by the People’s Party as a com-
promise and to placate the Alliance ele-
ment, which four years ago was a strong
factor in the Populist ranks.
Coxey will strongly urge the insertion
of a plank favoring the nonintercst hear-
ing bond scheme, but it was understood
that this would not be acceptable to the
majority, who desire to make the platform
as brief as possible and who feel that the
Coxey plank would be a detriment to the
party in the coming campaign. Nor is
Mrs. Helen M. Gougar of Indiana likely to
be any more successful in securing the in-
sertion of antisalcon and woman’s suffrage
planks; They will receive respectful con-
sideration, but nothing further.

NORTH DAKOTA POLITICS.
The St. Louis Gold Platform Indorsed
and a State Ticket Nominated.
GRAND FORKS, N. D.. July 24.—The
caucus ticket was nominated by acclama-
tion by the Republican state convention.
Having been turned down in the conven-
tion, the Grand Forks county delegation
refused to participate in the preceedings,
although retaining their seats. ”The plat-
form indcrsed the St. Louis platform and
asked that rz’ilroad lands be assessed for
taxation purposes at the same rate as lands
belonging to individuals. An effort to tack
a silver plank to the resolutions was easily
defeated.- The convention adjourned after
selecting a central committee.‘ The ticket
chosen was as follows:
Representative in congress, M. N. John-
son, renomlnated; governor, F. A. Briggs;
lieutenant governor, J. M. Devine; secre-
tary of state, Frederick Falley; treasurer,
George Nichols; auditor, N. B. Hannum;
attorney general, J. F. Cowan; commis.
sioner of insurance, F. B. Fancher; su-

M. Thomas; railroad commissioners,

THE REOH MURDER TRIAL.
The Confession of the Accused Man Ad
mitted In Evidence.
MAY’s LANDING, N. J., July 24.—The
state today in the Roch murder trial suc-
ceeded in having the damaging confession
of Rech Offered in evidence. Prosecutor
Perry had Captain of Detectives Miller oi
Philadelphia on the stand, in accordanc.
with the court’s ruling. Captain Miller
testified that before the written statement
was made Roch stated to'him in his office
that he committed the murder and told
how he did it. Roch told him that it wa.
on Sunday morning. He slept up staifh.
and his wife on the lower floor.
morning he heard a noise down stairs and
going there he found Bessie dressing ready
to leave. He caught her by the neck and
strangled her to death. After she was dead
he laid the body on the bed and tightly
knotted two handkerchiefs about her neck,
so that she could not return to life, and
to save her any possible suffering. He then
went to the woods, dug the grave, out the
tree and buried the body. This concluded
Captain Miller’s testimony, and the pros-
ecution again offered the confession in
evidence, which in detail corroborated'the
testimony of Captain Miller.
Roch, the alleged murderer, was then
put on the stand by his counsel to prove
that the confession was made without
knowledge and appreciation of the con-
tents. The prisoner swore hc was sick and
really did not know what he was saying
when he made this statement to Captain;
Miller.
Massacrcs In Asia. Minor.

has been issued notifying the council 01
Armenia and the patriarchate that they

To Boycott Militiamen‘s Employers.
CLEVELAND, July 24.—The Central La-
bor union met to discuss the Brown Hoist-
ing works strike. After many radical

members of the state militia. A commit-
tee was appointed to consider the advisa-
bility of calling out all the union men in
the city in sympathy with the Brown
Hoisting works strikers.

PARIS, July 24.—-Cathorine Booth-Clib-
born, commonly known as La Marechale,
head of the Salvation Army organization
in France, was knocked down by a bicy-
clist in this city and considerably hurt. It
is a peculiar coincidence that Mrs. Booth-
Tucker, a sister of Mrs. Booth-Clibborn,
was seriously injured at East Orange, N.
J., last week by being run down by a Sal-
vation Army woman.
Tortured by the Spanish.
KEY WEST, July 24.—Advices from Ha.

_ That hideous and deathly
‘ . «demon of sickness—constipa-
tion, is an easy enough thing to cure if
you take the right medicine. Constipa-
tion is one of the commonest things in the
world. It is really one of the most seri-
ous things. Fully nine-tenths of all the
ordinary sickness of mankind is due to
this one cause. If you place an obstruc-
tion in the gutter, it will stop the flow of
water, and gradually a mass of person-
ous, putrefying matter Will accumulate
That is exactly what happens .in the
digestive organs when constipation be-
'ns. Poisonous matter accumulates and
is forced into the blood. It goes all over
the body and causes all sorts of symp-
toms. A few of these are dizziness, flatu-
lence, heartburn, palpitation, headaches,
loss of ap etite, loss of sleep, foul breath,
distress for eating, biliousness and erup-
tions of the skin. These things are un-
pleasant, but they are not serious. The
serious things come afterward. Doctor
Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets are for the cure
of constipation. They are tiny,. sugar-
coated granules, easy to take, mild and
efficient in their action. One is a gentle
laxative, two a mild cathartic. There is
nothin else in the world like them.
There IS nothing that takes their place.
There is nothing “ just as good,” although
lieing and unscrupulous druggists may
sometimes tell you so for their own profit.
Do you want to lose your health so that
the druggist can get rich?
