Surfao indicatiom eero that the split yesterday was ihtic aoiul to the fact that the middle of thmo road popuihstii refused to take up with the soeiatsL movement , but thnro is another ithe to the story. It is openly charged by nwmbo".m of tIme 'ocintistic section who withdrew from yesterday's cot- , vention that the pep leactr.rn in time city of Council flhuffr have boemi cilgagoil itt an till- holy trafile In voles atuh 'anve ' sold out the party it number of timet' , the last occasion being no later than last ntonth's city dcc- then.

Your ( IC- croa'od vote at the las' CIty election was doubtloO3 wholly attributable to tIme above mentioned causes. Fusion is unknown to eacialism and bribery and boodierismn have itever yet four.d a place tu root their beads. The platform , the candidates and the nuemn- bers of the party are no subjects to barter - ter or trade and woe be uo him who would be so base as to betray It confidence. " Mr. Travis concluded. lii resignation as chairman et the committee with expressions of gratitude to the men who had stood by him in the honest. work for the populist party , alud a lromiso of war to the knife with the assassins who had tr1ed to sell the narta to the enemy. The resignation was accepted and the city ccnvention selected delegates to the county convention and adopted the social.atic platform section by section. Delegates - gates were appointed to bring in members ( morn time vards whiciu wei'e not represented iii the city convention , and have them presented - sented as delegates to tue county conven- tion. tion.TOO TOO 111011 FOrt RURAL DELEGATES. That was the situation when the conven- lien met yesterday morning to select delegates - gates to the state convention to be held in Des MoInes April 22. The city delegates were ripe for the adopt.on of the soallstIc phatform , and the country tielegatea hasi an Idea that socahists ! and anarchists were synonyms and would have none of it. Only a preliminary organzatioiu ! was effected at the mcrning session. and the convention adjourned - journed until the afternoon. At 3 o'clock the convention met again in the superior court room and Ilhhhtu Meyers was selected as chairman and E. J. Orr recretary. The committee on credentials , appointed at the morning session , reported a list of accredited delegates , and a rnotlcn was offered to approve - prove the report. And then the mercury went up a tow notches. Mr. Travis offered an amendment that N. P. Hansen. N. Jensen , Nets Anderson , Robert Johnson , Neis Peterson - son and Peter Christensen be admitted as delegates from the Fifth ward. Some one wanted to know if the gentle- ineli named were populists. Mr. Travis re- piled that they were populists and more. They were socialists. The answer started the rural delegates .0 sniffing. and it was suggested that no ec'aiists need apply. Travis took up tile defense of his motion. Ito read the call for the conventon in w'hich all workers In reform movements were invited - vited to participate in the meeting. Tue socialists , lie said , were in line in a great many measures , and that every populist was a scc'alist in a degree. lie did not think that the POPulist should Invite other reform workers to come in and then refuse to allow them to take part in the deliberations of the convention. There was no question of the fact that the delegates named were socaliats. and they wore also popuiists. J. W. Doriand and E. P. Brown . opposed tIme amendment. Water and oil would not run together , Mr. Brown declared , and ho was opposed to mixing populiSm with socialism or any other ism. After sonic d'scusscn , Travis' amendment was sidetracked. and the report of the committee on credentials adopted. ' [ 'hen the committee on resolutions presented the following : We demand : 1. Direct leglshntion. 2. Free coinage of slIver at the ratio of 16 to 1 , without waiting for the consent of any other nation.

Tacked on to the .report of the committee' on resolutions svas a recommendation that the platform of the socialist party be read and considered and thut a vote on it be taken without diiioussion. After seine talk the queetlon was put and adopted , and tien Chair- 111511 Meyers asked that the convention pro- ceeti with tIme selection of delegates to the state convention. Breezy Breeze , Travis and other delegates asked for the reading of tIm s.cialst platform , 'is provided by the resolution. They were promised a hearing later on , anti ivero content for a little tune , The convention selected thue following mcii- hers of thin county central committee to fill vacancies : II. 1) .

City MitrshiiiIlI lie Cimlef or L'hioe for Nthmlmmg' $ or ? m1nt a I .til , At the republican city convention , when the preaent mayor , city marshal antI ether elective offIcers were nomlnnatcti. a resohuntlen was introduced anti adopteti as a iihank In the platform pledging the immnyor , It cictcd. to appoint tIme city marshal as chief Cf t - lice , anti pledging the marshal to servo in that capacity iii atidition to lilt customary duties , and rio it witltout my additioiial sal- ary. ary.This plan woe selected tor tIme liurpese of carrying out. the wishea of tine pcopi far the abolishment of eithrr the chUte of thto chief of police or that of the mnnurslmal. There wOre two reasons for the domuuund , Since the atioptiohi of the new chunter creatimug the offIce of chief of police there hmnma always been more or less friction between the two forces. The marshal and his deputies shioweul a desire to work alone a'uil the pollee hover seemed to ho conu'unned rltb a desire to work with them , The other reas.n1 , anti it sas thici chic ! one , \'ail the denmaumti for curtailing - tailing city expenses. When Mayor Carson matie imis appoint- incats he stood by the party platform anti appointed Marshal Cannm.lrg elliot of police , anti Canning accepted tIm increased respon- uibhIltie anti said nothing about extra pay. iluit in spite of all this ti c question of extra camnpensathon for the marshal has been brought tip , anti some ot the members of the council are talking about some sort of a conniprornise. Some of tIme aldermen have expressed time foamthtat if the marshal makes tlio thtunnanti for extra compensation hue can cchiect nil of Chief Scanlan's salary in spite of time city coumneil or the pledges in the nominating convention. While Mr. Canning has given nothing more than a hint that lie would accept any favors in the way of increased - creased pay that the council might veto hilmim , ito imna nmade no sort of tlelnanti for it. Tme conipromise umioat discum-ti by the ahtiernmcn in their etreet talk is to settle all rlisputc' anti do justice to Canning by fixing his salary - ary at $125 a month. On July 1 tue law abolishing tue rmmarslial's omce takes effect anti titci aldermen argue that it would hue better for the service to pay a small atidi- tional eimnn for the extra dutlei of the mar- shal'tu office than to get 'oto a wrangle rind keep the force disorganizeti until that time. "You can tty as clearly arid as st.roiigly as the English language can express it hunt there will ho no increas' , of time marshal's salary as long as can prevent it , " i'aiti Alderrnami Brown yestertlay. "Mr. Canning was elected upon a platform distinctly pietlg- ing him to accept thm 0111cc of chief of po- hico wlthiout any additional compensationi , and I ann going to do all I possibly can to assist him in keeping his pledge. Ratimer than see one dollar addetI to Mr. Canning's pay I wIll use all of the power I can coni- niand in the council to secure the reappoint- macnt of Chief Seanlan or any other gooti man. The people demanded retrenchment and they have a right to expect It. I will do everything I possibly can to avoid committing - ting the present administratIon to thin policy of violating its ante-electlonm pledges within the first. week after organization. " Associated with Alderman Browmi is Alderman - derman Casper , and he Is equally p3sltivc in his determination to eritorce the platform pledges. Although ho was electeti on the dennocratio ticket , with time assistance of his colieaguo , Altierman h3rough , he will make a hot second to Alderman Brown's proposed fight. Another of the republican menmbers of tiuc council , 'hio tloce not want to be quoted. will also second Brown's efforts to prevent aiuy increase in the nmar.tual's pay. Tlue proposition to enlarge the city jail building sumciently to make an extra room for the usa of the desks and instruments in tIle chief of police's omen line been favorably acted upon by the council. ThIs will coat several hundred dollars , and if tile nnar- shale salary is increased it will wipe out all of the savings made by the new order of things. _ _ _ _ _ Wanted , about six gentlemen to board and room in private family for sunnimier.
