MIDDLE ROAD DEFEAT
Bryan Men Control the
Populist Convention.
TWO TURBULENT SESSIONS HELD
Senator Allen Is Permanent Chairman
Bryan's Nomination or Indorse
ment Seems Assured.
St. Louis, Jaly 23. The Bryan sap
porters are jubilant tonight. They de
monstrated, after a division in the Popu
list convention, that they had a majority
of 194. They perfected their permanent
organization, installed their candidate,
Senator Allen of Nebraska, a perma
nent chairman, and took charge of the
convention and committees, while the
silver convention at Music hall was
simply dawdling along, listening to
speeches and transacting trivial business
in pursuance of the prearranged pro
gramme of remaining in session in the
hope of influencing the action of the
other convention by their action in in
dorsing silver and the Democratic ticket.
There were two sessions of the Popu
list convention, a morning session of
two hours and an afternoon session of
six'. The latter carried the convention
into the night. Both - were turbulent
and noisy, but the tumult was confined
to the delegates on the floor, the galler
ies being practically empty. '
The report of the committee on per
manent organization was brought for
ward, the majority commending the se
lection of Senator Allen, the ponderous
statesman from Mr. Bryan's state. The
anti-Bryan men pitted against the Neb
raska senator James K. Campion, of
Maine, a man practically unknown even
to the middle-of-the-road contingent
who entered him in . the lists. Still,
they rallied to his support every- vote at
their command, and they were defeated
768 to 561. The announcement of this
triumph was the signal for an uproarious
Bryan demonstration which lasted 18
minutes. Senator Allen's speech as
permanent chairman occupied over an
hour. In many-respects it was bitter
enough to suit the most radical. . When
he finished the convention adjourned.'
The situation remains practically un
changed. Although the Bryan forces
were in control, and his nomination or
indorsement seems to be assured, the
defeat of Sewall still stares him in the
face. If Sewall cannot be . nominated
along with Bryan, the efforts of the
Bryan managers will be directed toward
securing an indorsement of Bryan rather
tbau a nomination. The question of
the common electors is another compli
cation which serves to tangle the skein
which must be nnraveled.
OPPOSED TO FUSION.
Mlddle-Koad Populists Demand a
Straight Ticket.
St. Louis, July 23. Populists began
assembling in the convention hall
shortly after 9 o'clock. The air was ex
tremely oppressive and delegates with
coats swung over their arms, stood
about discussing the situation. The
middle-of-the-road fellows could be
heard above the muaic of the band.
The Texas delegation "contains some of
the most uncompromising men in the
convention and they were mad at the
prospect of being balked in their policy.
At 10:05 Senator Butler, temporary
chairman, appeared on the platform.
Simultaneously the band struck up
"Dixie" and the delegates uncorked
some of their pent up enthusiasm. The
attendance in the galleriee, as yester
day, was very thin. At 10 :10 Chairman
Butler called the convention to order
and Rev. Smith offered an invocation
for blessings upon a common country.
The report of the committee on creden
tials was called for. No one responded
and the states were called for members
of the committee on permanent organ
ization and resolutions.
After the announcement, of the com
mittee on permanent organization the
members retired. A squad of middle-of-the-roaders,
.headed by - Delegate
Branch -of Georgia suddenly plunged
into the hall throngh the main entrance.
whooping - down : the center aisle.
Branch bore aloft a big white banner
with the inscriptions, "Middle of the
road," A straight ticket." At the
sight of it Texas, Georgia, Maine, Mis
souri and Mississippi delegates mounted
chairs and yelled at the top of their
voices. At the same time middle-of-the-road
delegates stationed in the galleries
over the platform hurled through the
air about a peck of small green tickets.
The green tickets contained the follow
ing: "Middle-of-the-road. Our financial
plan We demand that the national
treasury notes issued by the general
government be received for all public
dues and be a full legal tender in pay
ment of all debts, public and private,
and loaned directly to the people
through poEtal and other government
banks at cost for the benefit of the peo
ple. And the purchase and coinage of
such an amount of gold and silver bul
lion at a ratio of 16 to 1 as may be nec
essary to pay the debts of the govern
ment which are payable in coin. We
demand that the - volume of. money be
speedily increased to an amount neces
sary to' transact the business ot the
country on a cash basis. Respectfully
submitted for consideration of the Pop
ulist convention." .
A motion to admit delegates of the
silver convention on exhibition of their
badges was ruled out of order. After
some music and speaking a recess till 3
p. m. was taken.
William V. Allen of Nebraska has
been selected by the majority of the
committee on permanent organization
as chairman. It was announced that
the minority will make two reports,
one for Campion of Maine, and the
other for Butler of North Carolina, if
the latter will allow his name to be
used.
The delegates were on hand at the af
ternoon session promptly.; Just before
3 o'clock a delegate climbed the steps of
the platform and brought an umbrella
handle down with, a crash on the chair
man's table.' "If this is a Populist con
vention," he shouted in a husky voice,
"for God's sake don't get into the Demo
cratic band wagon." The crowd laughed
'and the middle-of-the-roader disap
peared in the direction of the Texas
delegation..
' The convention was called to order at
3 :31 and a partial report of the commit
tee on credentials was heard. The com
mittee regommended that in the Illinois
contest both delegations be seated and
given half a vote each. In the Colorado
contest the Patterson delegation was
seated.
Patterson moved to consider the con
tests in alphabetical order of etates.
His motion carried and speeches of the
majority and minority were limited to
15 minutes each.
THE SILVEK CONVENTION.
Appears to Be No Opposition to Bry
an's Endorsement. ,
St. Louis, July 23. The silver con
vention was called to order at 10:32 a.
m. Chas. Towne of Minnesota was
called on to address the convention.
Towne was interrupted by frequent
cheering. At the mention of Bryan's
name there was a big demonstration.
He said Bryan represents the cause of
humanity against injustice.
Ex-Governor St. John of Kansas was
called on and responded. His allusion
to Cleveland was greeted with laughter
by the delegates.
- At the conclusion of St. John's speech
the committees on organization, rules
and platform were appointed, after
which Mrs. Helen Googar of Indiana
addressed the convention. Mrs. Gougar !
touched on prohibition and Hon. E. R.
Cole of Wisconsin took issue with her,
defending the brewing interests of Mil
waukee and St. Louis.
When Cole bad concluded the conven
tion took a recess until 2:30 p. in.
Will Oppose Any Compromise.
St. Louis, July 23. Middle-of-the-road
men held a meeting just before the
hour for the afternoon session of the con
vention. The net result was the adop
tion of a motion declaring it the sense of
the middle-of-the-road men that no
compromise should be entertained or
adopted by them.
A Victory for the Bryan SI en.
St. Louis, July 23. General Weaver
has been elected chairman of the com
mittee on platform. This is considered
a'victory for the Bryan men. .

t'HASCKS AGAINST SEWEU,.
Probable .That the Populists Will Nomi
nate Mltnns of Tennessee:
St. Louis, July 23. Middle-of-the-road
Populist leaders appeared to real
ize this morning that they could not
control the situation,' and although the
rank and file still cried for absolutely in
dependent action, most leaders were
talking compromise on a basis of a Popu
list vice-presidential nomination and
division of electors. The Bryan men
consider they have Bryan's nomination '
practically assured and are now working
like beavers to save Sewell. The
chances seem to favor the nomination of
A. J. Mimms of Tennessee.
