gau assembling nt tho convention hall
shortly after 9 o'clock. Tho air was ex
tremely oppressive. Tho delegates,
with coats slung over their arms, stood
about discussing tho situation. The
middle-of-the-road fallows could bo
heard above, sho music of the band.
The Texas delegation contains some of
the most uncompromising men in tho
convention, and they wcro mad at the
prospect of being balked in their iolicy.
At 10:05 Senator Butler, temporary
chairman, appeared on the platform.
Simultaneously tho band struck up
"Dixie," and the delegates uncorked
some of their pont-up enthusiasm. The
attendance in the galleries, as yesterday,
was very thin. At 10:10 Chairman
Butler called tho convention to order,
and Bcv. Smith offered an invocation
for blessings upon our common country.
The report of the committco on
credentials was called for. No one res
ponded, aud the states were called for
members of the committee on perma
nent organization and resolutions.
After the announcement of the com
mittee on permanent organization, the
mcnibe-8 retired.

A squad of the middle-of-llie-rcaders,
headed by Delegate Drauch, of Georgic,
suddenly plunged into the hall through
the main entrance, whooping down the
center aisle. Branch bore aloft a big
white banner with the inscriptions
"Middle-of-the-Boad," "A .Straight
Ticket." At the sight o( u the Texas,
Georgia, Maine, Missouri aud Mississ
ippi delegations muunted chair, and
yelled at the top of their voices. At thu
same timo the middle-of-the-road dele
gites stationed in the gallery over the
platform hurled 1:1 thu air a peck of)
small green tickets, which broke and
fell like a cloud on tne stago ami pit.
Tho four delegates gave cheer after
cheer, but the others sat silently in
their seats. About 60 of the delegates
joined the demonstration. The green
tickets cocuined the following:

KEtiALED WITH SOXUS.
A delegate from Oklahoma then
mounted the stage and introduced Clar
ence Homely, ol Oklahoma, who regaled
the convention with campaign songs,
which were loudly applauded.
An Alabama delegate introduced Mis
tress Bennington Sweet, a campaign
singer of Arkansas. She sang in a pleas
ant soprano, a parody on "Yankee
Doodle Dandy," each verse of whichcon
cluded with, "Yanfcee Doodle, get your
gun, shoot the goldbugj every one, Yan

Delegate Crawford of Kansas, moved
the delegates to the silver convention bo
admitted on the exhibition of their
badges. Thero were many yell3 of "No,

Sergeant-at-Arms McDowell said it was
impossible to carry out such instructions.
Thereupon Jerry Simpson mounted a
chair and said that it was no more than
common courtesy to extend to the other
convention, uhich was here in a common
cause, tho samo privileges that it extend

Chairman Butler, amid howls of delight
from the straightouts, ruled the motion

discussion. A storm of protests came

At Last A Victory,
r. Lous, July 24. The third
day's
eession of the populist national conven
tion at St. Louis was marked by a par
tial victory for the middle-of-the-road
men, they having secured the consent
of the convention to consider the vice
presidential nomination before the
question a3 to who should have first
place upon the ticket was taken up.
The early part of today's session waa
devoted to the same sort of fiery oratory,
interpersed with wnue and music by
thu band, which characterized the ses
sions of the two previous days. Tho
argument among the delegates finally
resulted in a roll-call of the states being
ordered upon tho imestion as to whether
the vice-presidential nomination ehould
be made prior to that of president, and
by a vote of "S3 to 015 it was decided to
give the vice-presidential nomination
tho precedence.
No more than half tho delegates to
the populi&t convention were m thtir
seats at 10 o'clock this morning, when
the raaaaivo figure of Senator Allen, the
permanent chairman, appeared on thu
platform. Four minutes later he caileil
the convention to order. It was
drizzling outeido and there were not
over SCO rsons in the gallery.

Chairman Allc;v a gave! containing 10
j pieced of silver and one of gold.

amid a spattering of cheers from the
fair delegate? whilo Mrs. Pennington
sang a iopulist campaign song.
Jerry Simpson protested aguintt frit
tering away any more time. The dele
gates, lie said, were present at a great
expense and the convention ehonld get
doicn to business. John S. Deer, of Cal
ifornia, creatfd a sensation by declaring
that the rules of the Omaha platform j
prohibiting federal officers from taking
part in tho deliberations of the pop
ulist convention, should be enforced.
IJis protest waa evidently aimed at Sen
ators Butler and Allen. He was ap
plauded by Borne of the middle-of-the-road
men, but no action was teken.

A committee of one from each state to
confer with the silver committeo of the
silver convention was then appointed.

folly of moment has paused v.o may want

He wanted thi national .committee to
sslecl its clmirman. The middle-of-the-roaders
cheered Donnelly's speech.
Judge Green of Nebraska made a vig
orouti roply to Donnelly in which ho de
clared tho people's parly would emergo
triumphant from this contest if it grasped
tho opportunity to achievu success in
November for silver. Tho anti-Bryan
delegates grew obstreperous as he pro
ceeded. A dozen pointn of order wero
made. Chairman Allen overruled all.
"Sit down, eit down," cried a dozen
voices.
"I'll not sit down," declared Green
fiercely, "until I get ready."
When ho finished, Congressman How
ard of Alabama came forward. His
eyes flashed and his checks burned as
he took a phot at Senator Allen for sug
gesting that any man who wore a dele
gate's badge waa influenced by the use
of money. He wanted to nominate the
vice-president first. This statement fas
greeted with the cries of "No" and
jeers', while his faction howled with de
light. Howard pleaded for the nomina
tion of the vice-president in the interest
of party harmony. F. Gerry Brovn of
Massacuuseltt), also pleaded with the
majority in pathetic terms to concede
this much to the Southern states.
George Abbott, of Nebraska, said he
did not in some things repiesent his

"I cm here to fight Sewall," he yelled,
"on every proposition."

to jeer and there were several cries from
the galleries of "put him out." Those
creating tho disturbance in the galleries
