Washburn, of Mnssachu belts, rrom the stage auoun ced that lio hud an Important resolu tion to odor. It was as follows "Whereas, Wo tiro all Populists, and depreciate the talk which has appeared In some of tho newspapers that thero Is a disposition on the part or any portion of this convention to refuse to abide by tho action of thlsponvcntlon; therefore, be It "Resolved, That we repudiate all such utterances as a rellectlon upon tho fidelity or tho members or this convention and or the Populist party." Washburn said tho question or pre serving tho organization or this "grand party" was vital and called for a full discussion. A storm or pro tests came rrom tho mlddlc-or-thc-roaders. Ono made a point of order that before tho convention was per manently organized no such resolu tion could be acted u)kii. A Connecti cut delegate, named Ilcfiry C. Bald win, sheuted: "If tho papers say wo arc asses, shall wc pass a resolution saying we arc not?" Chairman Butler ruled that during temporary organization a rosolutlon could bo passed expressing Its senso. Thereupon Congressman Howard of Alabama, moved to refer the resolu tion to tho committee on resolutions. .Delegate Hrancli,of Georgia, followed with a motion to table tho whole sub ject. There was a great deal or cotii fusion as tho vote was taken, viva voce,a.n,d Chairman. Butler decided tho motion carried., Delegate "Willis, of North Dakota, then moved to tako a recess, but tho orowd, desiring more music nnd more speeches, voted tho motion down, al though tho announcement was inado that It would 1)0 3 o'clock before tho commlttco on credentials could report. After more music, at 12:42 another motion to tako a recess until 3 o'clock was inado and It carried. Tho delegates were promptly on hand for the afternoon session. Just beforo 3 o'clock a delegate climbed the stops of tho platform, and brought an umbrella handle down with a crash on tho chairman's table. "If this Is a Populist convention," he shouted In a husky voice, ''for God's sako don't get Into tho Demo-. cratlc band wagon." Tho crowd, laughed and tho mlchlle-ar-thc-roador disappeared In tho direction of tho Texas delegation. Darrpw, or Chicago, spoko for tho adoption or the minority report scat-, lpg tho delegation from Cook county, The time of tho discussion extended thirty minutes. The mlddleror-tliciroadcrs held a meeting Just beforo tho hour for tho afternoon convening. The result was tho adoption of n motion declaring It tho sense or the middle-of-the-road men that no compromise should bo entertained or adopted by them. The majority report wus adopted seating both factions of tho Illinois delegations with one-half vote to each delegate. This is considered u victory for the middle-of-the-road men. The report of tho credential committee was adopted. The Colorado minority renort was withdrawn. During the .- .I.L.I.. I .!... contests Georce P. Washburn, of j mat, 01 iinaiHcw-,. Massachusetts, acted as temporary chairman.. street, the gold powers,and attacked the principles or tho Republican party generally. He said "theie will bo no bolt rrom this convention; wo arc Populists. Every body In tills city tonight Is talking middle-of-the-road, butli old parties want tho populists to nominate a tmtn toj-un for picsldent imncly for honor where dercat Is Inevitable. Tho pop ulists may not havo tllo Intellect or some gold-bugs, but thoy. have better hearts." , It. wns mnvnil Mint, n?i .committee or IS twenty-live be appointed to confer with the committee from tho silver convention. Loud cries of "no," "no," followed. The motion carried. Tho report of tho co'mmlttec on rules and order of buslhsss was read and the convention adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow. F Gen.

Cyclone Davis askel, "will this convention substitute a vico president for Sewnll?" Tremendous cheering, delegates on their feet. Davis asked If they want this young Samson (tho Populists) to bo thrown at the feet of tho Democratic party to bo swal lowed? Cries or "no,"."no." Davjs-.askcd: "Are "the People's party to part tho waves or tho Bed sea aud let the Democrats walk over while tho Populists aro swallowed up by waves?" Tho disorganized condition or tho mlddle-of-road forces last evening and their falluro to perfect arrangements for a tight in tho convention, Indicate a complete sweep today by tho Bryan forces. Tho leaders were confident this morning that they would bo nblo to secure tho endorsement of Kownll as well as Bryan. The nntl-Brynn men appear completely demoralized by tho defeat of yesterday. That Texas, Georgia, part of North Caro lina, part of California, and portions of delegations from other Southern states, will bolt Bryan and Sewall aud name another ticket, seems to bo a foregone conclusion. No moro than half the delegates to tho Populist convention wero In tholr scats at 10 o'clock this morning when tho massive figure or Senator Allon, permanent chairman, appeared on tho platform. Four minutes later ho called tho convention to order. It was drizzling outside, and there wero not over 300 persons in tho gallery. Chairman Allen was presented with U gavel containing 10 pieces of silver and ono of gold. Captain Ot A Lloyd.or Rochollo, N. Y anJ Mrs. Pennington, tho "Sweet singer of Arkansas," came into tho hall dressed In costumes respectively of Undo Sam and Columbia. They inarched to the platform amid cheers, Mrs. Pennington sang a camp aign song. Jerry Simpson protested against frittering away any more time. A committee ot one from each state to confer with tho sliver committee of the silver convention was then ap pointed. Texas refused to appoint. The commlttco retired. Tho minority rcportof the commit tee on rules was read. It recom mended a change in the order nf mak ing nominations so us to make the nomination of 7lce-preflldent before This was a move pf tho middle-of-the-road men. Dele gate McGrutb, of Illinois, promptly Children Cry for Pitcher's Qastorlar moved to lay the minority report on the table. Congressman Howard and Barney Glbbs or Alabama, demanded to be heard. St. Louis, July 24. Tho full Popu list comtnltco on resolution went to work this morning on a platform as prepared by the aub-coninilttoo. Tho preamble as prepared by the sub-commlttco was adopted with but fow changes, all verbal. Tho financial plank also went ..through with com paratively fow changes. Coxey .made an efforb to secure an amendment, looking tp tbo adoption of his non-In terest bearing" bonds proposition, but It' was voted down, 20 to 11. Tho preamble denounces tho old parties, declaring their politics to have brought the country to tho very verge or ruin, and enthroned a plu tocracy upon ruins or a Democracy. Tho financial pink demands free coin or silver, and a further Incrcaso of tho circulating medium, according to tho dummies of business. It denounces sales or bonds by the present administration, and demands a law prohibiting similar Issues In tho future. It demands legislation to prohibit discrimination between -different kinds or money In contracts, and tho government shall pay Its obli gations In any kind or lawful money. It demands a graduated Income tnx, and postal savings banks. Tho land plank declares against land monopoly for speculative purposes, and con demns tho "Pacific railroad land grant frauds." Direct legislation, na tional, state and local, Is demanded. Tho transportation plank demands government ownership of rallwnys, and telegraph aud telophono lines. Tho plan ot tho straight-outs' was to test Sowalls strength. Ignatius Don nelly wanted tho national commlttco to select Its chairman. Tho middle-or-the-roaders, cheered Donnelly's speech. Judgo Green or Nebraska,' made a vigorous rcrily to Donnelly. Tho anti-Bryan dolegatos grow ob streperous m ho proceeded. A dozen points or order wore made, Chair man Allen overruled nil. "Sit down sit down," cried it dozon or voices, "I, I?" "I'll not sit down," declared tho Judge llorcely. "Until I irot roady." Whon ho finally did Con gressman Howard or Alabama, camo forward. Ho wanted to nominate n vlco-presldent first. This statement was greeted with cries of "no" and Jeers, whllo his faction howled with delight. Howard pleaded for the nomination or a vice-president In the Interest of party harmony. P. Qorry Browi, of Massachusetts, also pleaded with tho majority in pathetic terms to conccdo this much to tho southern states. Gcorgo Abbott,of Nebraska, said "I am here to fight Sowall," ho yelled, "on ovcry proposition. "Tho straight outs chepred like mudipen. "Cyclono" Davis mado a characteristic speech. Ho announced that tlioy wero willing to accept Joshua, or Ncbrasko, U thoy could bo assured of a candidate of their own for vice-president and tho preservation af tho Populist party. Thomuii M. Patterson, of Colorado, followed with a Blrong speech agulnst tho adoption or tho minority report. "If this ticket Is divided,1' ho cried, "if Bryan bo endorsed and a southern man named" for vice-president such confusion will result that lie got no further. Tho antl-Sownll men Jeered and hooted, "no," "no,'' they said, "lot Sewall get out of tho way." Patter son continued to arguo against tho mistake that would "cloud tho issuo and dtvldo the strength of tho sliver forces." Bryan us an honorable man could not accept the nomination on such terms, "I belle vo it would bo better," ho said, "for this convention to nominate a straight mlddlc-of-thc-road ticket.

Ho said the commlttco hnd protracted tho meeting and whllo Its proceedings havo been harmonious thero wa9not an cntlro unalmlty. as Kcarbv. or Texas, aud Coxov, or Ohio, would both offer minority reports. Tho different planks or tho platrorm wore received with slight applause, which would ovldently havo been greater but Tor tho ruct that General Weaver declared ho would not proceed unless thoro was absolute silence.
