Up to noon moro than 100 delegates to tho convention registered at their headquarters. Seven expressed a preference for Bryan, two said they were for a fusion ou electors. Many were pronounced for n straight ticket, and the fight against the nomination of indorsement of Bryan. More than a majority of the statts were represented. Some claim a two thirds majority. Theso middle-of-the-road men are not apparently working with Chairman Taubeneck, who is also opposed to the indorsement of Bryan. It was stated at tho conference today that Taubeneck had given up the fight, having been scared by tho altitude af the leaders ou the ground. At hea quarters many ex pressions were heard indicating disap proval of the indorsement of Bryan. "They eha'n't turn us over to the dem ocrats," shouted a grizzled veteran from California. "Maine ia with California," came from another part of the room. A cheer was raised when an Ohio delegate said: "Ohio is in the middle-of-the-road." There is not much siid about camti dates, middle-of-the-road men saying they are perfecting arrangemen's to con trol the convention first. Belief continues generally prevalent that a bolt is among tho strong probabil ities at the populist convention, what ever coarse is decided upon by the ma jority. Delegates are constantly arriving and the larger crowd makes more evi dent the intensity of the feeling over the one question at isie. This question is whether to indorse Bryan and Sewall or nominate a separate ticket. In a general way the contest is between the North and the South. Northern men, as a diss, contend that in the in dorsement of Bryan lies the only hope of making the influence of the party felt or achieving practical results, while the Sontbern men, remembering their many contests with the democrats in their sec tion, maintain that such a course is utterly suicidal. Both classes are equally in earnest, and both declare that there is but one course open. Bryan followers talk split more openly than their opponents. They are ;erfe.t ing a thorough organization, and mean to make a strenuous effort to secure the indorsement of the democratic nominee. They do not publicly admit tint there is j any possibility that they will not be able to control the convention, but privately many My that if a separate ticket is nom inated they will walk out ot the conven tion and appeal to the people to rally to the support of Bryan and Sewall. The other crowd is more reticent, bat tbe, feeling is rone the les$ intense. Somewhat Threatening. Kansas City, July 20. While en route to the national iopnlist conven tion, the California delegation , CO strong, last night issued an open letter to the democratic presidential nominee, Wil liam J. Bryan, urging him to go before the country as the nominee of the popu list party. The letter was composed and dispatched while the delegation was waiting for the train to St. Louis. Dr. G. W. Daywalt, of San Francisco, being chosen secretary and instructed to write it. The letter Eavs in part : "If you will accept the nomination from the populist party, declaring your self a populist, you will become a leader to whom will rush every reformer, be he silverite, democrat or republican, and not only bo elected yourself, but also elect a congess, tho law-making power. This is the opportunity of your life, which, if taken adyantoge of, will send your namo down in history as the sav ior of our country by the means of pop ulism. If you don't do it, we must, in defense of our principles, put another nominee in tho field. Can you thus be elected?" Cyclone Davis' Resolution. J St. Louis, July 21, "Cyclone" Davis, of Texas, will ask the populist conven tion to adopt tho following: "Whereas, McKinley nnd the republi can party represent tho existing gold standard, perpetuation of which means that the national banking system is to be rechartered for 50 cars, and our national debt to be refunded anl made a gold instead of a coin debt, and bonds to mn for 50 years; and, "Whereas, This system is to bo fast ened upon the country by treaty with foreign nations under the false prctenso of an international conference, which means tho ultimate enslavement. of. the masses, nnd the complcto establishment of tho classes; "Kc80lveu, lliat to deleat Uns meas- uro and insure McKinley's defeat so far as our vote goes, wo pledge ourselves to unite with the democrats on one set of electors in each state, which is Ihu sen timent of the middle of the road popu lists." A Middle-Road Majority. Sr. Louis, July 21. At a meeting to day of representatives of tho National Reform 1'rcsa Association, which claims to have 1300 paperB in the country, tho "middle-of-the-road" men had a large majority and adopted a strong resolu- tion in favor of preserving their organi zation and keeping in tho middle of the road. . y is MEETING OP MIDDLE-ROADERS. Object of the Session Was to At tempt Organization. St, Louis, July 21. Middle-of-the-road popnlitta, recognizing that tho or ganization of tho Bryan mcn'was telling, today called a meeting and attempted to organize, but the nonarrivabof delegates led to deferring action. Many who will arrive to-day, it is claimed, will join their ranks. , The attempt ol tho iniddo-.of-the-rcadJ men to organize resulted in-a ycry spir ited meeting. A. II. Livingston, of Mis souri, was elected temporary chairman. A delegate from Oklahoma named Al bright pointed out a man seated in front of the chairman, and declared that he had been around the various hotels dis tributing Mark Hannn's money for the purpose of preventing the5 indorsement of B van, and defeating the silver parly. The man was Silas Boss, of Buffalo, N. Y. Ross denied emphatically that he had been engaged in any such business, or ever seen the Oklahoma man before. Albright claimed that Rofs represented himself as from Baltimore, and other portions of the country, but upon cloe questioning, admitted limjght be mis taken, sayiug he looked verymuch like Boss. ; Later Hackstaff of Colorado, entered and made a'speecb. The". Oklahoma mau said HackstalT was he man with the money. HacketaQ immediately de nied he had ever seen the Okalhoma man before, or was engaged in anything but an effort to select a straight-out pop ulist candidate for the presidency. The Oklahoma man seemed 'uncertain, and went away after a ntoUon had bren adopted requesting the Bryan men to leave the hall. Before the last part of.thia interesting incident occurred, a motion was carried with a. hoop that none but a straight out populist, should ba' nominated for president. Then occurred a row because the men with Bryan badges were In th room. It was claimed by the mi.ldie-of-t h road, po pulls fa that these Bryan men should either get out or declare them selves for a middle-of-the-road ticket. There. were several quarrels. The sec retary finally got a semblance cf order bv moving a call of the roll of states to secure responses, and see what strength the middle-of-the-road men would have in the convention. Arizona did r.ot re spond, nor did Alabama, although a Florida man stated that he understood that Alabama was diyided. Arkansas wasjfor the Omaha platform. California was divided but it was said the middle-of-the-roid men in tho dele gation would accept Bryan on a straight popuiUt platform. There was no re- sponse from Connecticut. Loioraoo answered: "Two delegation, one for Bryan, ono Etraight out." The secretary moved that the middle-of-the-road men use every effort to ex clude the democratic delegates, headed by Patterson. This was carried with a shout. There were no responses for Delaware or the District of Columbia. Florida anounced twp votes for the middle-of-the-road cause, Georgia did not respond. When Indiana wa3 called, it was announced that the greater portion of the delegation was middle-of-the-road. Idaho's seyen volc3 would be cast for Bryan, said James Gunn, no matter what this convention did. The Idaho populists would vote solidly for Bryan and carry the state for him. The secre tary made a point of order, as this was a middle-of-the-road meeting, and the Bryan men had no right to try to make it "a democratic ratification meeting." Alter some wrangling. Mr. uunn was granted a few minutes to mako a state ment. Ho detailed tho hardships the populists had encountered, and said uo matter what was done, he always in tended ta remain a populist. When Iowa was called, Secretary Red entered into a discussion of the preferences of the different delegates. After figuring out five or six middie-of-lho-road men he entered an emphatic denial of Weav cr's statement that Iowa would east 30 solid votes for Bryan. A delegate from Texas named Wood chipped in at nearly every announce ment, saying, "Texa3 greets von, and promises 93 votes to help out." Ho and Webster, of Missouri, got into a discussion of a side matter and each warned the mtddle-of-the-rosd men to keep out of the caucuses of s'ato delega tions which wonld turn their votes oyer to Bryan. Both said tho unit rulo should bo avoided and each voto its ho wished. Illinois was. called, and tho announcement was made that there was anAltgeld delegation for Bryan and a Taylor delegation for middle-of-the-road. It was promptly asserted that Alt geld was not a delegate Reply was made that Altgeld controlled tho Bryan delegation. When alamo was called a man mounted a chair and stated with great vehemonco that there was only one delegate from Maitio present, but tho delegation waujuonu ior 1110 miuiue-oi tho-road. A nian'from Mississippi an ir 1 t ,1... . i 1, nounccd that stale was opposed to any fusion, but ho could not Bpcak definitely, At this point, J. C. Hackstaff, of Colo rado, made a speech in which lie do clarcd that tho Patlofsou delegates from Colorado were "very bad men." Three cheers were given for Hackstaff. Then ensued the incident already related, in which the Oklahoma man was con cerned. After the adoption of a motion put out by tho Bryan tren, thus cutting off the Oklahoma man's cxblanation, German, a populist from St. Loais, said that it was not a populist, but a republican meeting. There wore loud cries of "put him out," "down with the traitor," etc. "Sit down," said the chairman. "1 won't sit down," aaid tho Miesourian. "You can't make me sit down." The chairman told eome one to put him "out. German showed fight. A Minnesota man jumped in with his fists doubled. Othera interfered to prevent hostilities, and the Missourian was hustled toward the door, declaring that his money, which ho had paid for hall and hall badges, had been diverted from the slraight populist party to a faction. Hal Ayer, of New York, said that while they had been doing little or nothing, and were without organizition, the dem ocrats were swallowing the populist party. He had assurances that if the South would stand firm against Bryan, theie were enough Western vote3 to pre vent his indorsement. A meeting of middle-of-the-road men, consisting of threo delegates from each .stale was an nounced to take place at the Lindell at once. The roll-call of states was not resumed. Success is in Sight. St. Louis, July 21. The Bryan man agers confidently claimed this morning that they had pissed the Rubicon, and their control ol the convention was practically assured. There are condi tions and details yet to be worked out, but tbey lielieve they have won the main victory, the nomination or indorse ment of the Chicago ticket. An attempt of some populists to force the with drawal of Sewall and the nomination of a populbt for vice-president had been defeated by the stand taken by Bryan's friends, and .the positive answer of Chairman Jones, ol the democratic na tional committee, that such a thing coald not be considered. Notwithstanding tho confidence of the Bryan managers, however, they will not relax their efforts. Tliev have a most complete organization, and every man has instructions for today. They will canvass every incoming delegation and keep up the work of proselyting among those already here. Although they claim a victory, they believe there will be a bolt of the radicals, and, paradoxi cal as it may seem, this is what some of tbf. most level-headed desire. The dem ocratic managers certainly are not averse to a split which a ill carry out of the con vention the extreme men. They claim that the allegiance of some of these men could do the ticket infinitely more harm, than good. The battle, of course, will come on the floor of (he convention, and no one now doubts that there will be a general display of bad blood. The national committee will wrestle with the question ot organization today. The Bryan men hate put forward Gen eral Weaver for temporary chairman. This is a shrewd move. They do not believe tho opposition will c3ro to make a fight against their late standard bearer. National Committee Meets. Sr. Louis. July 21. The populist na tional committee met at 12 o'clock. Tau beneck occupied the chair. The princi pal work before tho committee is the se lection of temporary officers and the set tlement of contests, but these matters were postponed. The Texas delegation was increased from Oo to 103. The representation from each territory and tho District of Columbia, except Ok lahoma, was increased from four to six. Oklahoma was put on the basis of a state and civen nine votes, because of the large populist voto cast there. The com mittee took a recess until 2 o'clock. He Is for Bryan. Sr. Louts, July 21. Congressman Towne of Minnesota, one of the silver republicans who walked out of tho St Louis convention and announced the severance of his allegiance to the repub lican party, arrived here today. "The silver movement in Minnesota," said he, "is growing by leaps and bounds. Among the republicans, 1 was amazed at the widespread defection in favor of silver. Republicans and popu lists are enthusiastically for Bryan, in the belief that it is only by a union of the silver forces that the battle for the restoration of silver can be won in this campaign. I appreciato verj highly the compli ment involved in tho suggestion of my name here for president, but an inde pendent nomination, in my opinion, is impracticable. Br3-.n1 should bo in- lorsed. I am for Bryan." A. Now, if I understand correctly the first principle of socialism is to di- vido with your brother man. B. Then you don't understand it correctly. The first principle of Eocial ism is to mako vonr brother man dl vide with you. "This country," writes Mr. Casey to his cousin in Ireland, "is the greatest on earth. It is a country where tho man who earns his own living is as good as anv other man, and if ho don't have to earn it, he is a dom sight better." Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report ABSounrEur pure THE TRUTH OF IT. It is altogether likely that the politl- cians of tho gold-standard democracy will hold a second convention and nomi nate a second ticket. These men do not expect to carry a single state in the Union for a sound-money democratic candidate, but they claim to be im pressed with a belief that unles? they set up a figure-head in this campaign tho democratic organization will fall to pieces and the principles of Jefferson go completely to smash. That isj what they claim, but that they so believe is open to doubt. As intelligent men they should know that .the organization of the purified democracy can be perfected just as well after next November as at present, and that the fundamental prin ciples of the party are imperishable as tho constitution itself. As practical poli ticians tbey inuEt realize that their con templated action menaces the sound money cause in this campaign by threat ening to divide its adherents when their solid vote may t-e essential to its suc cess. With the prospect of a unification of all the free-silver elements, it cer tainly looks like narrow partisanship, if it does not savor of unpatriotism, to put a stumbling block in the way of the only Eouud-money ticket that can possibly be elected. This proposition has been pretty thor oughly argued from every available standpoint, and it cannot be denied that the-Jadvocates of a second convention have got the worst of the discussion. They have been shown that McKinley's tariff views cut little or no figure in the premises, because there can be no tariff revision by the next congress, and they have been told that in a crisis like the present, Wuen the very life of the nation in danger, patriotism should rise above party. They have been forced to irtnally acknowledge that their attitude is based Eolely upon the low plane of political expediency and self-seeking. Their professed casterness to "preserve the part "' stands revealed as a desire to ovide themselves with cccupation in this campaign at the risk of the nation's eafety. Turned out of the house of their fathers by the Chicago convention, they feel that they must do something to keep themselves before the public when both its eyes are wide open. They cannot hope to find immediate distinc tion or reward by arraying themselves under the McKiu'.ev tanner. Even if they were willing to reconstruct their financial faith and figh "r Br an, they would be received onlv as privates. A policy cf inaction would keep them out ot the great quadrennial swim in which political fortunes are won and lost. Con sequently they turn to the second con- ention project as their only means of alvation from political obscurity. That's the truth of it. elf-seeker 1 "flio f But no matter what these propose, the intelligent rank and hie ot the Eound-money democracy will decline to vote in the air at a time when their votes, to bo effective, must be cast for the only sound-money candidate who can possibly be elected. They would be untrue to their country aye, and lo democratic principle, which is a syno nym for patriotism if they were to pur sue any course which might however re motely endanger the financial policy which is a mainstay of this government and a tried and true promoter of our commercial and industrial' prosperity. The tens of thousands of democrats who arc opposed to Bryan aud Bryanism will not be allowed to fall into the error of casting half a vote for sound money when their full vote can ba recorded for it without involving any sacrifice of per sonal or political honor on their part. As the campaign progresses they will be convinced that the republican party has taken.an honest and courageous stand on tho mouey uuestion, it deserves to conquer and to receive the support cf all honest and courageous meu. Telegram. The Tandem Waltz. The latest in dancing its the Tandem waltz. At tho gay watering places in the east, at Newport and .Saratoga, Cape May, Atlantic City, even as far West as Chicago and fct. Louis, tho Tandem waitz is now the rage. There is no more slow, languorous dancing on a handkerchiefs space. The young man who held his partner close as if ho dreaded robbery is out of date. Tho "tandem" craze has struck the waltz, Tho 'tandem" has its advantages, says tho New York World. In it botli girl and young man move in the same direction at the s.nuo time. Instead of a young man holding out his bauds and tho girl tucking her head under his chin, she giviM him the cold shoulder. For the girl whoso only charm ia tho sloping lines of tho back of the neck and tho feti'hitig little loi-ks tickling tho Baking Powder white nape this isespecially comforta ble. The girl stands back to herpartner, w)0 holds her right arm extended.This girl's left hand is put behiudher.lSThis does away with what priui people have called unmitigated temptations lof the waltz. There is no chance for the young man to clasp a girl's slender waist. Faces are not dangerouslyclose, land eyes oh! eyes can't look into other eyes any kind of tender looks. The "tandem" takes all the flavor out of Strau33 waltzing. However, it is one of the distinct novelties. Here's one ad vantage: The tandem waltz will never ruin the back of the waist of a girl's dress. But think of the tall girl towing tho little partner around in a tandem waltz. Spray for Hop Louse. Hop lice are beginning to make their appearance, and those growers who are interested in hops this year, and de sirous of securing a good quality (tbb being the only kind that will sell) will do well to spray their,vines. The reein- wash recommended by the state board of horticulture should be used. It is as follows: In-.-redients Resin, 4 pounds; sal soda, 3 pounds. Directions Place reein and; sal soda in kettle with three pints of cold water. Use soft rain water always. Boil or simmer slowly until thoroughly dis solved, when it will look black. The sal soda will adhere to the sides of the kettle, and must to scraped down. When it looks dissolved, if there are pieces of resin in the bottom of the ket tle it needs more boiling. When suffic ently boiled, add enough hot water to make fifty gallons. After adding the water in will become thick, but after boiling again it becomes thin. The above is ready for immediate use and should be applied cold or only luke warm. If desired for future use, boil the abce amount of ingredients as di redeJ. and add water to make five gal lons; boil until thick. This will stand any length of time and is always ready for use. When required, use ona part or gallon of componnd with nine gallons of boiling water. This applied to the vices will kill thd hop louse.
