FUSION POPULISTS.
Sioux Falls, S- D., May o The Na
tional Convention of the People's
party began business at 2:21 o'clock to-'
dav. irr the big tint wigwam. There I
-'have been few similar cvtnH wh! -h hn-e
been marked by more evident s:nccr;ty
of ' purpose or more prormiuicid de
corum of behavior.
The accommodation-; for the dele
gates, for distinguished guests, for he
prcss, and for the ordinary visitors,
proved exceptionally go-id, t-pial to
those' of most conventions hew! in
'buildings of a more permanent char
acter. There were probi'dy 51 dole
gates in ' their seals, and surrounding
them was a fringe 'of alternates and
visitors numbering ( to 800. Ssfats
had been provided for a much larger
nuluber, but ; the attendance did not
appear meagre, and it may be rcmi ked
'that, what was lost in attendance, was
compensated for in enthusiasm.
From the arrival of the 'Minnesota
delegation bearing the m Bryan and
. Towne banners, there were outbursts of
applause at every convenient opening
and upon the least provocation. 'Many
sentiments were cheered to the echo,
and this was notable at Governor Lee's
reference to the Boers and Filipinos.
Presumably nine-tenths of the dele
agates, and a far larger percentage of
visitors, were from the . Northern Mis
sissippi valley states. This circum
stance served to give the convention
a Wcste.rn hue, but as the other sec
tions of the country were also repre
sented, the West was' not allowed to
.monopolize appearances in ihe coin-motion
hall. . Few of the picturesque
characters of the bt Lotus convention
'of ifoi were presented, but there were
some -"broad, brimmed hats here from
Texas and the Southwest. There were
also occasional "Whiskers," but even
these seemed to have thinned out in
the party. All told, it was a well dress-.
. ed. good mannered and thoroughly
well "behaved assemblage of moule.
Colorado led the list in the number of
icmalcs. three betng present from thaj
state - Kaunas. Idaho and the District
.of Columbia also, sent lady delcgatcsl
The committee on resolutions was
appointed this afternoon. TJie roll call
of states was begun, and loud faughtrr
was '-raised by the announcement of J.
J. Chambers,, representing Alaska: "I
am the only one here from Alaska, and
will have to name myself. '
The same condition confronted Er
nest Kroner, of' Oregon. The com
mittee on resolutions includes the fol
lowing; Alaska. J. J. Chambers; Id.
do, Henry Heiifield;. Kansas, Jeremiah
Simpson; Montana. T. S. Hogan; Ne
braska, '.William V. Allen: Oregon
Ernest Kroner; Washington, E. W.
Way. : ' .' I
The evening session was devoted to
' singing and music. When Temporary
Chairman Ringdal called the conven
tion to order at 8:40. p. m. tonight, it
was prtnonncrd that the committee on
credentials, the resolutions and perma
nent" organization committees were
not ready to report. The convention
then adjourned until tomorrow, i
At midnight the itnation on she
Vice-Presidency was still the paramount
question among the delegates, and a
solution of the problem was apparently
, as far off as it was when the delegates
began to' arrive. There is little doubt
that there is a clear majority in tlis
convention favorable to nominating,
and of those Townc is"saiJ to How con
trol a maiority. . ' ! .
The committee, on credentials tonight
decided. ty a vote of 31 to 1. that the
delegates present shall cast the entire
nunjibcr of the votes J to which their
states are entitled. 0 j
REGUI-AR I-OPULISTS.
Cincinnati. May o, Today, at !:.
. m. . the middle-of-the-road Populist
ational Convention was called to order
at Redwnson's opera hotfte. There were
430- persons in delegates chairs, and
-750 ih the galleries, when Natiorr.il
Chairman Deaver rapped for order. The
committees were " promptly appointed
and retired to their halls.
At the evening session the credentials
committee reported and precipitated
the. first struggle of the convention. It
arose over the votes to be allowed the
delegations, which were not fully repres
ented. - It was finally voted to allow the
delegates to cast the full vote of thei
rcpechve states. For instance, " two
delegates present from Kansas will have
lorry-three Votes apiece. " i
. At 't:IS P 'tn.. the convention ad
jqiirned until 8 o'clock tomorrow morn-
nuns
ing. It is ihe Intention to wind up the
business tomorrow without tak.ng a
recess. Tonight, it - appeared almost
certain that former Congressman How
ard, of Alabama will head the ticket
and the Vice Presidential nomination
will probably go to Donnelly.
( From the- resolutions committees
progress and it was still in session at
midnight it appeared that the declara
tion of principles to be placed before
the country, will be of such a nature
as to practically establish anew the
greenback 'question. : The plank will
probably: call for an unlimited issue of
"Government paper currency", and sil
ver is likely . toibe dropped-.
j DONNELLY WAS BITTER. ,
Cincinnati, Mar 9.--1 gnatius Don

saying: "There is not a fnsionist: in

latest advices from Smahfieel. Orange
Free State, indicated that,: the Federals
are not yet ready to make a determined

and overwhelming in uimbers that' it
is difficult to see how the Boers can
help being ousted out of Virginia Sid

if they elected to give battle. The same
