The End of: the Populist Convention
3 ‘ ' In 'St.lLouis. ' '

~_ MR. BRYAN’S ADROIT REPLY.

The Nebraska Candidate's Statement Ro-
garding His Nomination by the Pop-
ulists—Is as Yet Not Committed.
Postconvention Gossip.

ST. LOUIS, July 27. --.Many political
ratherings have been held in the Mound
City, but none more unique, exciting and
enthusiastic than the national conyention
of the People’s Party. After nearly a
week of heat, turmoil and speechmaking,
the convention completed its labors, ad-
journed sine die, and the delegates have
mainly returned to their homes.

Notwithstanding the receipt of one or
more telegrams from William J. Bryan
declining to permit the use Of his name
on the Populist ticket unless Arthur Sow-
all was also indorsed, Bryan was formally
nominated for president on the first ballot.

' The whole number of votes'cast was 1,375,

of which Bryan received 1,042, Eugene
V. Debs 8, S. F. Norton of Chicago 321,
J. S. Coxey 1 and Ignatius Donnelly 3.
The middle of the road men continued
their fight against Bryan to the last.

In view of the fact that the middle of
the readers had been deserted by every one
of their more prominent leaders, they cer-
tainly put up a better fight than many at
first anticipated. The Texans cast their
solid 103 votes against Bryan.
bama, California, lllinois, Indiana, Ken-
tucky, Michigan, Missouri and Wisconsin
Pops divided their votes, but they stuck
fairly well to the middle of the road Tex-
ans.

The Bryan Message.

The Populist convention just before ad-
journment narrowly missed becoming the
scene of what would in all probability
have been the greatest sensation of its pro-
ceedings. Governor Stone of Missouri and
Delegate Patterson of Colorado were prel-
~ent as the representatives of Senator Jones,
chairman of the Democratic national com-
mittee, with a long telegram from Mr.
Bryan defining his position with reference
to the Populist nomination in View of the
refusal of the convention to indorse Mr.
Sewall. Governor Stone was extremely
anxious to read this document, but the
privilege was denied him by Chairman
Allen, and the convention was saved what
would have been a very exciting and in-
teresting scene. .

The roll call of states on the presidential
nomination was in progress and had pro-
gressed so far as to make it quite certain,
if nothing occurred to ohanne any of the
votes already cast, that Mr. Bryan would
be the presidential nominee of the conven-
tion. There had been anxious inquiries
during the entire day for messages from
Mr. Bryan by many of the middle of the
road men, and the Texas delegation went‘
so far as to wire him for a definition of his
position. It is considered probable by
many who were present that if the dis-
patch had been read it might have changed
the course of the nomination. Senator
Allen took the position that it would at
least create great confusion and much ex-
citement, and that in view of all the cir-
cumstances it would not be wise to have
the message read. He also exerted his ut-
most endeavors to suppress any reference
to it in the proceedings and succeeded in
doing so until the roll call had been com-
pleted. The only mention of the matter
was by Mr. Ashby of Texas, who, rising
to a question of personal privilege, asked
if any telegram was on the speaker’s table
from Mr. Bryan defining Mr. Bryan’s at-

titude. “There is none,” replied Senator
Allen. “Has there been none?” asked Mr.
Ashby. The senator replied that there

had not been. Senator Allen, however,
had received a message from Governor
Stone, which was carried to him by Mr.
Patterson, asking that the governor be
given an opportunity toread the Bryan
message. This request Mr. Allen twice
refused to grant to Mr. Patterson. He
also afterward refused it to Governor
Stone. The governor went upon the plat-
form and was informed in most direct
terms that he would not be recognized.
Governor Stone Displeased.

This refusal apparently had the effect of
displeasing both Mr. Stone and Mr. Pat-
terson. The latter expressed the opinion
that the convention was entitled to have
Mr. Bryan’s attitude explained fully, as
the dispatch would, he said, have explain-
ed it, and he was greatly disappointed that
this course was not pursued. The two
gentlemen lingered in the rear of the hall
until the nomination of Mr. Bryan was
announced, and they went directly to a
conference with Senator J ones. All the
parties to the transaction refused to give
the contents of the Bryan message or to
go into any details of its purport. It is
known, however, that it contained a num-«
ber of replies from Mr. Bryan to inquiries
made, of him over the wires by Senator
Jones, and that it was a more elabOration
of his short message of Friday night di-
recting the withdrawal of his name be-
cause of the refusal of the Populist con-
vention to confer anomination upon Mr.
Sewall, as it was about to do upon him-
self. One of the parties to the conference
said the dispatch was in no sensea declina
tion or refusal of the nomination, and that
no intimation was contained that Mr.
Bryan would not accept.

Senator Allen stated after the adjourn-
ment of the convention that as the dis-
patch was not addressed to him he had not
even felt it incumbent to read it himself
or read it to the convention. Further-
more, he intimated that he was not pleased
with the apparent wish of the Democrats
to conduct the aflairs of the Populist con-
vention. ' -

General Weaver said there was nothing
in the message which could in any way
have changed Mr. Bryan’s relation to the
Populist convention.

Governor Stone’s Statement.

Governor Stone, member of the Demo-
cratic national committee for Missouri
and the man who brought Bryan’s second
telegram to the Populist convention, said:

“The result of the Populist convention
insures the election of William J. Bry n
as president. It is certainly remarks 9
that a man should be nominated by three
conventions, and the man who gets three
nominations ought to be able to secure one
election. It is plainly evident that there
is a great popular "uprising of the people,
in favor of Mr. Bryan. I would have pre-
ferred 7 that the Ppoulist convention
should have indorsed or nominated. the
whole Democratic ticket, as it'wouid have
greatly simplified matters in the coming
campaign. I have no intention of aband-
oning any part of the . Democratic ticket or
the Democratic platform. I have no doubt
that, before the campaign'is for advanced
there will be adjustment of the interests
of the parties representing the poopieywbloh

“game... _

The Ala-v

 

will make defeat impossible. I In the in- l

terests of the people such an adjustment'is
inevitable. The present campaign will be
the most remarkable in the history of the
country, and its results will not be less
farreachin g. ’ ’ ‘
Senator Butler’s Opinion.
Senator Butler, who was temporary
chairman, said: “The result of the con-
vention is what the North Carolina dele-
gation had contended for from the first——
that is, the nomination of Bryan, with a
southern Populist for vice president. The
People‘s Party has been built up by ap-
pealing to the best elements'of the two
old parties to put principle and patriotism
above party. In the convention just held
the People’s Party "has practiced what it
preached. It has indorsed and approved
the action of the Chicago convention as
far as it was right and has condemned 'it
where it was wrong. The nomination of
Mr. Bryan was satisfactory to every Pop-
ulist in America. He stands for the
principles that the party was organized
and has contended for against the two old
parties. We have put up a platform and
nominated a vice president in harmony
with our principles, because we could not
indorse Mr. Sewall or accept the Demo-.
cratic platform as it stood. The Demo-
cratic platform was good as far as it went,
and it wasaivictory for the People’s Party
to have the Democratic convention go as
far as it did go. When the delegates ar-
rived here they seemed to be divided about
two extreme sets of ideas. The west, as
a rule, wanted to accept the Democratic
ticket as a whole. The south and east, as

a rule, wanted a straight ticket. If either,

extreme had'succeeded, the People’s Party
would have been split in twain. The Peo-
ple’s Party has met the Democratic party
more than half way. Now, if Mr. Sewall
will be patriotic and withdraw fromthe
Democratic ticket as a candidate for vice
president, he will remove the only obstacle
to a complete unification of all the voters
who oppose the single gold standard, and
victory will be assured from the hour that
he takes that high and patriotic position.”
Chairman Allen’s Views.

Permanent Chairman Allen said regard-
ing the convention: “A great convention
representing the people of the United
States, composed of thoughtful, earnest
and intelligent men who have been for
years studying the political economy of
the country, adjourned today after carry-
ing out the wishes of the people. There is
not the least doubt of the election of Will~
iam J. Bryan as president. His nomina-
tion today in the face of a published de-
clination of the nomination, receiving
more than 1,000 votes of the people’s
chosen representatives, shows the force of
the great reform movement that is sweep-
ing over the country. Mr. Bryan is a gen-
tleman, a man of the people and will not
spurn or scorn the nomination which was
such a compliment to him. The people
of the United States have taken charge of
the politics of the nation, and no man can
stand in the way. The inevitable tide of
progress will sweep all opposition away.
The people seize the means to accomplish

their ends. Mr. Bryan has been seized 'by"

the people of the country, who are press-
ing forward the greatest cause of a quar-
ter of acentury There ‘wiil be no gbolt
from the convention. There are malcon-

tents in every party and men in every .oon- .
ventlon who are dissatisfied. The nomina- .

tion of Mr. Bryan was the will of the peo-
ple. . No men can say that the 1,000 who
voted for him were wrong and the 200
who did not were right. We enter upon
the greatest campaign in our history. We
have a candidate who has been the nomi-
nee of three conventions, whose delegates
clearly represented the interests of their
constituents. That the nominee of these
three parties will be'elected there can be
no question. ”

Mr. Bryah Interviewed. '
LINCOLN, Neb., July 27.—In an inter-
view- regarding his nomination by vat-he
People’s Party convention Mr. Bryan said:
“When the Populists decided to nomi-
nate vice president first, Senator Jones,
chairman of the Democratic national com-

mittee wired me as follows: u
“ ‘Populists nominate vice president

first. If not Sewall, what shall I do?
Answor quick. I favor your declination
in that case.’

“I wired immediately as follows: ‘I on-
tirely agree with you. Withdraw my
name if Sewall is not nominated.’

“These dispatches were published in the
morning papers, and the convention un-
derstood my position. In spite of this,
they have seen fit to nominate me. Wheth-
er I shall accpet the nomination or not
will depend entirely upon the conditions
attached to it. My first desire is to aid
in securing the immediate restoration by
the United States of the free and unlim-
ited coinage of gold and silver at the pres-
ent legal ratio of 16 to 1 without waiting
for the aid or consent of any other nation.
The Republican platform declares that the
bimetallic system should be restored, but
asserts that we, as a people, are helpless
to secure bimetallism for ourselves until
foreign nations come to our assistance.
We cannot aflord to surrender our right to
legislate for our people upon every ques-
tion, and so long as that right is disputed
no other question can approach it in im-
portance. I appreciate the desire mani-
fested at St. Louis to consolidate all the
free silver forces and regret that they did
not nominate Mr. Sewall also. He stands
squarely upon the Chicago platform and
has defended our cause against greater op~
position than we have had to meet in the
west and south. The Populist platform
is on many questions substantially iden-
tical with the Chicago platform. It goes
beyond the Chicago platform, however,
and indorses some policies which I do not
approve of. All that I can“ say now is
that my action will depend entirely upon
the conditions attached to the nominee
tion. I shall do nothing which will on-
danger the success of bimetallism, nor
shall I doanything unfair to Mr. Sewall.”

"Assuming that the acceptance of the
nomination by you would be unfair to Mr.
Sewall,” was asked him, vi-‘how could con-
ditions shape themselves so as to permit
you to accept?”

The question was adroitly evaded by the

" iocular remark that if all things now per-

plexing Were made plain it would be no
infringement upon the field of journalistic
conjecture. When the complications that
seem imminent because of, the seeming
necessity of putting up two setsof Bryan
electors in case he remained the candidate

.of the Pepulist party were alluded to, Mr.

Bryan replied ‘that this was one of the dif-
ficulties which time ‘must be trusted to
rem0ve.

Emperor William’s Enthusiasm Over
the Paris Exposition.

FORDEFENSE OF THE RHINE.

 

Emperor William’s Plan to Raise His Un-
cle to the Rank‘of King Meets With
Diltavor—Prince Max of Sax-

. any to Become a Priest. ‘

BERLIN. July 27.—The plan” of Em-
peror William to raise his uncle, the aged
Frederick William Louis, grand duke of
Baden, to the rank of king upon the oc-
casion of the grand duke’s seventieth
birthday, which occurs on Sept. 9, is not

received with much enthusiasm by the-

people of Baden, who are afraid that the
new title will mean an increased civil list
and heavier taxation. especially as’the
plan to annex Alsace and Lorraine to the
grand duchy of Baden, will not, it is gen-
erally thought, he carried into effect,
owing to the objections of Bavaria.

Few of the German newspapers agree
with the emperor in the matter of his
enthusiasm on the subject of the Paris
exhibition of 1900. The Hamburger Nach-
richten, discussing the relations between
Germany and France, says: “It is safer to
keep France in terror of Germany by an
increase of the army and of population

than to endeavor to get into the good .

graces of France- by acts of chivalry and
generosity. ”

It is rumored that early in the nest ses-
sion of the reichstag the Centrist party
will endeavor to compel the government
to show what truth there is in the allega-
tions that the cost of building warships at
official yards in 25 per cent higher than at
private yards. Three imperial shipyards,
it is alleged, are regularly favored with
the largest orders, while private shipbuild-
ers get only small orders. The latter are
furnishing evidences of jobbery.

After the naval maneuvers the torpedo

fieet, forming six divisions, will hold spe-

cial maneuvers under the direction of Em-
peror William.

Prince Max, nephew of the king of Sax-
ony. will he admitted to the priesthbod of
the Roman Catholic church tomorrow.
He is in his twenty-sixth year.

Stoecker's New Party.

Dr. Stoecker, the preacher politician
and Jew halter, has founded a new party,
which he has called the Klrchlichsvzil in-
stead of the Christlichsvzil, which latter
name the emperor said was an idiotic title.
Though under a different name, Dr.

'Stoecker’s party will continue to operate

on the lines of his original party in oppo-
sing all Liberal measures and in backing
up the Jew batters. Dr. Stoccker has ral-
lied quite a number of respectable men to
his party and announces that he intends
to prosecute a vigorous campaign at the
approaching session of the relchstag. .
The Berlin city synod, which has the
patronage of the imperial family, and
especially that of the empress, has pub-
lished a report in which it is asserted that
Berlin is in need of 30 more churches. In
thefacc of this is the fact that the exist-
ing churches are never more than one-
third filled, and besides this two of the
most beautiful church edifices in Berlin
are used for storage purposes, one for the
royal theater and the other for a book-
seller. The synod asks for a credit of 15,-
000,000 marks with which to build the
proposed new churches. The city of Ber-
lin has refused to give a single mark.
Last week a mighty box of hammered

copper 3 meters deep and 60 meters broad

and containing 20,000 pounds of powder
was built in by the military engineers on
the Alsace arch of the new bridge across
the river Rhine neariKehl. The first Kehl
bridge was destroyed by exploding powder
in the arch at the beginning of the war
with France.

The socialists are losing one strike after
another. The hatmakers spent 100,000
marks for the pleasure of fighting their
employers and in the end were obliged to
give up and return to work on the old
terms. A like result followed the strike
of the musical instrument makers at Kett-
bus. The textile workers, the metal work-
ers and the weavers of Eulengebirge have
now been on strike for seven weeks and
begin to see that there is no hope of win-
ning. These strikes have wasted 750,000
marks. ‘

The law against undignified competition
in trade has cleared the windows of Berlin
shopkeepers of the once familiar placards
which told of selling of? stock below cost,
of damaged goods sales, etc., which, if
they were untrue, laid those displaying
them liable to punishment under the law.

Princess Henry and her sister, Princess
Louise of Battenberg, have had an amus-
ing adventure in the vicinity of Homel-
mark. While they were watching motor
mills thrashing rape a workwoman came

' behind them and tied them with a straw

band. The princesses, on asking the rea-

son for the act, were told that if any one ‘

Were tied before he or she noticed it it was
the custom to pay a ”footing.” Neither
of the princesses had any money with
them, but later they sent a handsome sum
to the millhands.

There has been considerable gossip in
connection with the meeting of Prince
Hohenlohe, chancellor of the German em-
pire, with Count Badeni, president of the
council and minister of the interior inhtpe
Austrian cabinet, at Aussce. In spite of
long recitals to the newspapers dwelling
upon the important results of the moot-
ing. it is semiofiioially understood that
nothing of the first importance was settled
at the meeting. '

A. Electric Combination.

CHICAGO, July 27.—A combine has been
formed for the purpose of maintaining
prices by the leading manufacturers of in-
candescent, lamps in the United States.
This agreement is expected to practically
put an end to the war in prices which has
virtually done away with all the profits in
this line of business. ‘ .

The Insurrection in Crete.

ATHENS, July 27.—A memorial ., which
has been drawn up by the Turkish depu-
ties of the Cretan assembly declares that
any concession to the Christians will

dered appliances for telegraphing and sig-
naling.
