THE POPULIST .MEET,
Senator Butler Is Temporary
Chairman.
TWO FACTIONS ACTIVE.
Middle of the Road Delegates Very
Demonstrative.
St. Louis, July 22. Tbc day for
opening the two national conventions
broke clear anil bright. Crowds in
tbo corridors of tbo hotels where
headquarters arc located were noisy,
but there was a striking absence of
brass bands. Before 10 o'clock the
crowds began moving toward tbo con
vention halls.
The llryan and tbo inlddlc-of-tho-road
factions both claimed a victory.
The llrst test of strength was eagerly
looked forward to. There was little
public Interest In the silver conven
tion. The Populist national committee
deckled upon Senator Marlon Butler,
of North Carolina, for temporary
chairman. Thcsclcctlon was effected
without much apparent opposition,
but there was an adverse clement
which would have manifested itself If
tbo committee bad not been so evi
dently favorable to Butler.
Senator Butler was placed in nomi
nation by W. A. Guthrlo of North
Carolina, who eulogized hi in as the
son of n North Carpllim farmer, and
spoke of him as a patriot and philan
thropist. He said Senator Butler was
the youngest man who had occupied a
scat in tbo senate since the days of
Clay, mid that ho had won' and worn
his latuels thero as worthily. Numer
ous seconding speeches were made and
the nomination was made by accla
mation amid a volley of applause.
.1. W. Hnys of the Knights of La
bor, and W. D. Vincent woro chosen
temporary secretaries.
A Texas delegate with a great deal
of eloquence stated he had justconio
from a conference with Butler nnd
knew his position absolutely. Ho
said Butlor was for Bryan and a Popu
list nominee for vice-president. Ho
had asked Butler what position ho
would take in his speech beforo the
convention. Butler Informed him that
ho should say that the Populist party
had reached a crisis which It must
meet, and that It .should meet In a
manner which would save the party
and yet elect a president favornblo to
sliver. Butler declared It was his In
tention to mako tbo llrst speech In
the convention. The Texas man de
clared himself as unalterably opposed
to Bryan nnd to Butlor and ho was
cheered by the middle-of-the-road
Populists present.
A member of the committee said
there was nothing for the middle-of-the-road
men to do except to stand by
Klrby. Davis advised against rash
action. Ho would bo torn limb from
limb beforo ho would do anything to
Injure tbo Populist party. Ho had
placed his sons on his knees and lay
ing his hands upon their heads had
bid them to lmto tbo Democratic
party for all time. Ho again an
nounced his udheslon to the Populist
party.
"Their God shall bo my God," ho
cried, excitedly. "Their grave shall
bo my grave."
"Cyclone" was preparing to soar
still higher when tbo mlddle-of-tho
road men took n hand.
"He's a Bryan man," shouted om.
"Take him down," yelled another.
"Wo don't want to listen to such
talk as that," camo from a third.
ne sold us out," said a fourth.
Davis then gracefully retired, per
spiring freely.
St. Louis! July 22. The hall In
which the Populist met was the same
in which the national Republican con
Ji
vention mot. Tbo delegates began
! straggling In before 10 o'clock, but the
I delegations wero slow In arriving.
When the pit was filled, thero were
not 200 people In the galleries. Among
I the llrst to arrive were the knnsa
delegation, with long yellow ribbons
on their heads and sun (lowers 111 their
lapels. Thero wero several women
delegates on the floor. Senator; Allen
received n great personal ovation.
Tbo Toxas delegation grow demon
strative. A Lono Star delegate
mounted a chair and read telegrams
from Texas Populists, admonishing
them to keep In tbo nilddlc-aif-thc-road,
and bolt If necessary Stuart
Ashley, one or tbo delegates, liladc a
speech and It looked as If Texas In
tended to hold a llttjo convention by
herself. '
Shortly beforo 12 o'clock the Missis
sippi delegation marched down tbo
aisle with a banner bearing the slogan
'no compromise." There was an ans
wering yell of Joy from tbo Texas del
egation. "The middle-of-the-road leader
after conferring, decided not to (make
an organized light against theclcc
Hon of Butler as temporary chairman.
At 12:37 Chairman Tntibcncek called
the convention to order. The Illinois
delegation rose and cheered. Key. W.
I. Smith, Baptist of this clty.doUvercd
the Invocation. The chairman Intro
duced Gov. Stone, of Missouri, to
make the tho welcoming address. Ills
welcome was most cordially ( and
couched In choice words.
It Is announced that tho mldiBc-of-the-road
Populists havo decided to
nominate Taul Vahderwoort, of Ne
braska, for president.
Ignatius Donnelly, of Mlnnesotn,rc
sponded to Gov. Stone's speech. ,
Mary Ellen Lease pot a domonstn
tlon ns she ascended tho stage Jut be
foro Chairman Taubencck Introduced
Senator Butler ns temporary chair
man. - r i.Ji.
In his speech Butlor referred to
McKlnleyns tho candidate of aggre
gated capital and compound greed.
"The Democratic party," ho said,
"stole our platform and tried to steal
our party." This statement set tho
convention wild, "ir tho People's
parly should abandon Its organiza
tion," said Butler, tho "Democratic
party at Its next national convention
would repudiate the platform adopted
at Chicago, and Bryan would not havo
any more chance of being nominated
than Thomas Jefferson whero he alive
today."
"Let us ilnd truth In tho inlddlo
way," ho said this as tho keynote to
the senator's .speech, but thero was
no especial applausout this evident
suggestion of compromise. "If this
convention," he shouted passionately,
"docs not follow Its own teachings lb
Is unworthy to represent tho people."
"Hurrah for Bryan,1' cried an Ala
bama delegate.
"Put him out," yelled soveral Toxas
delegates.
"What shall wo do?" asked Butler.
''Nominate Bryan," replied tho
same Alabama delegate.
"Shut up,"
"Put him out," shouted several
hundred voices.
"Is he a Democrat?" called out
some one.
"Yes," and "no," wero Inter
mingled with cries.
Butler, waving his arms appeal
ingly to secure quiet, said: "Whom
the God's wish to destroy they first
mako mud. Every time you Interrupt
mo you endanger yourselves." It was
tho duty of all Populists to stand by
what they taught In tho past. Ho be
lieved the convention was going to do
what was 'Wisest, and added "wo
should stand together, goaway united,
strip our coatsfor the fray.bo prepared
for any emergency, however great.
Kemember you are people's men, re
member you havo accomplished more
In four years than tbo old parties. Do
your duty now, you will very soon bo
tho party of the major-lly." ,
Butler closed amid tremendous ap
plause. The Populist committee on cre
dentials convened Immediately after
the convention took a recess. T. 31
Wardcll was made chairman.
