Will Probably Bo the Man,' " LAST KIQIIT'S DOINGS. "When 8 o'olock,the liour for thocon vcntlon to convene, arrived tlio hull was still In darkness. The delegates wcro huddled In scats In front of the platform, while the groups of faces swayed in the light of a few candles that lllckered on the press tables. About this time w)ine shrewd mlddlc-of-the-roadcr though that he discover ed that the refusal to turn on the lights was a part of the scheme of the Bryan people to prevent the straight- out clement from controlling. This suspicion that the lights wcro out In the Interest of n faction, as they were turned out at the Cincinnati conven tion by the opponents of Blaine, aroused a storm of protests and the mlddle-of-thc-roaders went charging about In the dark to discover the cause of the situation. ' "It Is a scheme uf Bryan men," tho tlio Texas delegation shouted. Sotno one mounted the stage and yelled "tho Bryan people have put out the lights, but if they nominate Bryan wo will split this convention wide open." "You tiro a dlsgrnco to tho party," came emphatically from tho depths of the hall. By this tl me tho aisle were choked with delegates pushing and grouping their way abouj. In the dark. Thcro began to bo some apprehension of some sudden alarm, which might stampede tho delegates and cause disaster, and tho leaders began discussing tho advisa bility of an adjournment until to morrow morning. Tho hand, under Instructions, kept up a constant fusl lado of airs to ally tho fears of any who might be alarmed. "Whenever tho band played a hymn tho delegates Joined In tho chorus. Sonio of tlio rollicking songs llko "John Brown's Body" nnd "Marching Through Geor gia" were also sung enthusiastically. At 8:20 "Oyclono" Davis mounted the stage and sought to restore order, but tho crowd refused to listen until some one held a lighted candlo In front of his face. As his tall form and broad, sweeping sombrero camo within tho narrow ring of light from tho tallow dip, tho delegates lmtm dlutcly recognized him and thcro were shouts of "shut up," "keep quiet," "listen to 'Cyclone'" When ho could make himself heard ho an nounced thut tho electric wires wcro "disaffected" but that they would "bo all right soon, whereupon there wore cheers of approval nnd the baud struck up another tunc. At this Juncture Mrs. Mary E. Lease camo to tho stage and was appealed to to mako n speech, btitsho declined to talk In tho dark. 'Walt until they turn on tho lights," said she, "and I'll talk to you all night." At 8:45 Chairman Butler appeared on the stage. Tho band -played "Put Mo Off at Buffalo," and then Senator Butler called tho convention to order. Ho announced that the committee on credentials would not bo able to re port tonight, and that, owing to an accident, there was no light, he would declare the convention In recess until 10 o'clock tomorrow. TODAY'S PROCEEDINGS. St. Louis, July 23. The Topullbts began assembling In convention hull 6hortly after 9 o'clock. The air was extremely oppreslve, De'legatca with coats slung over thefr nrms, stood about discussing the situation. The middle-of-the-road fellows could be heard above the music of the band. Tho Texas delegation contains sonic of the most uncompromising men in the convention, and they were mad at the prospect or being balked In their policy. CALLED TO OKDElt. j At 10:05 Senator Ihltlcr, temporary chairman, appeared on the platrorm. Simultaneously the band struck up "Dixie" and tho delegates uncorked some Iff their pent up enthusiasm. The attendance lu tho gnllciles, as yesterday, was very thin. At 10:10 Chairman Butler called tho conven tion to order, and llcv. Mr. Smith orfcrcd tho Invocation, for blessing upon the common country. niiYAN Leads. Tho nilddlo-of-tlic-roud Populist leaders, appeared to realize this morn ing, that they could not control tho situation and although the rank and file still cried for absolutely Independ ent action, most or tho leaders 'were talking of compromise on a bails of n Populist vlce-prcsldcntlal nomi nation and a division of tho electors. Bryan men consider they have Bryan's nomination practically assured nnd arc now working like beavers to snvo Sewall. Tho chances seem tojbc In favor of tho nomination of . L. Minims, of Tennessee. MIDDLE-OF-THE-ROAD 1'01'S, After tlio announcement of the committee on permanent organization retired. A squad of the inlddle-of-lhc-roadcrs headed by a delegate branch of Georgia suddenly plunged Into tho hall through the main cntranco, whosplng down tho center aisles. A branch bore aloft a big white banner with tho Inscriptions "Mlddlo-of-tho-road," "a straight ticket." At the sight of It Texas, Georgia, Maine, Missouri and Mississippi delegations mounted their chairs nnd yelled at the top of their voices. At the same tlmo a middle-of-the-road delegate stationed In the gallery ov6r the plat form hurled through the air nbout a peck of small green tlekots. Tho green tickets contained tho follewing: "Middle-of-the-road: Our financial plan. Wo demand that national treasury notes Issued by tho general government bo received forall public dues and full legal tendor In payment for nil debts; public and private, and loaned direct to the people, through the postal and other government banks at cost, for tho bencllt of the people. And tho purchase and coin age of such amount of gold and silver bullion at a ratio or 10 to 1 us may bo necessary to pay tho dobts of tho gov ernment. Wo demand that tho vol umo of money shall speedily bo Increased to tho umount necessary to transact tho business of tho country on a cash basis. Respectfully sub mitted for tho consideration of tho Populist convention." Tho motion to admit the delegates from tho silver convention on tho ex hibition of their badges, was ruled out of order. After 6omo muslcZund speaking la recess till 3 p. 111. was taken. Wm. V. Allen of Nebraska, has bccn-tselccted by n majority of the committee on permanent organization, ns chairman. It was announced that tho minority would mnko two reports. Ono for captain of Maine tho other for Butler of North Carolina, if ho would allow his name to be used. HIIOKT DISCUSSION, The time of discussion of tho 111a- Inrltv and minority reports was limited to 15 minutes a side. General Weaver has 'been elected chairman of tho committee on plat form. This U considered a victory for tho Bryan men. Tho delegates wcro promptly on hand for tho afternoon session. Just before 3 o'clock n dclcgato climbed the steps of tho platform, and brought an umbrella handle down with n crash Jon the chairman's table. I "If this la populist convention," ' ho shouted In husky voice, "for God'a sake don't get Into Democratic hand ' wagon." Tho crowd laughed and the middle of the roader disappeared In 1 the direction of tho Texas delegation. Darrow, of Chicago, Is speaking for I -, the adoption of tho minority report seating the Taylor delegation from Cook county, tlmo or dlscstislon ex tended 30 minutes. Jerry Simpson's speech favoring minority report was received with cheers. Col S. F. Norton, or Chicago, advo cating the adoption or the majority report. NO COMPROMISE. The mlddle-of-thc-roaders held 11 meeting Just before tho hour for tho uftcrnoon convening. The result was the adoption of a motion declaring it tho sense of tho middle-of-the-road men that no compromlso should bo entertained or adopted by thorn. Tlio secretary ordered a call of tho roll by states on the motion substl tutlug tho minority report, seating tho Taylor delegation of Cook county. BUYAN AT SALEM. A few of tho crumb pickers who live olttho Btato fair, are trying to save the country by doing a little lying about Bryan. They nrc telling that he repudiated his contract with the fair association In Salem last fall, that ho agreed not to speak at any other points In tho state, and then Injured tho fair by speaking at Port laud. Tho truth Is: Mr. Bryan camo to Salem to make two speeches for his actual expenses. At tho urgent re quest of tlo mnnagemout, Mr. Bryan mndoFoun speeches Instead of two, and then had to pay pari of his own expenses, Mr. Bryan was shamefully treated by tho gold mon on the board, by being side-tracked away from tho cro.vd. Ono day an additional fee was charged, nnd nt another tlmo the hour was misstated. Last, but not least, a gang of lunatics from tho asylum was rushed into his audi ence. Mr. Brynn's friends told him if he wished to vindicate himself thoy would engage tho opera Iiouro or secure the public squnro and give him a ynst audience, but ho Bald "No, 1 do not wish to resent anything. I will lio In Salem again, and my friends will havo n chanco to hear me. Then, if any havo attempted to do my causo an Injustice, thoy can faco 'their own shame." It was thoroughly under stood when Mr. Bryan loft here that ho would speak at Portland, and ho did It with tho consent of tho stato fair people. Tho small clacqucrs who would thus Injure Mr. Bryan nro now simply serv ing the state fair party machlno which feeds them. God pity a man who must resort to Riich processes for bread and butter. Irish Land Dill. London, July 23. Tho houso of commons today considered In commit tee clause 24 of tho Irish laud bill, which provides that In purshaso tran sactions tho land committee shall ad vance money In lieu of stock hereto fore Issued.

Tho defeat of tho government was totally "unex pected, and Is ascribed to the ah soncoof many ministerial members at tho royal incddlng.
