Tho military authorities have been forced

Tho aotual relief movements have not been

that Lord Mcthuen only started very re

tho stato central committee, and In pur
suanco to tho action taken by tho stato
commltteo nt Its last meeting T. J. Nolan
of Omaha will act as temporary chairman.
H. D. Travis of Plattsmouth has been sinieu
for nermanent chairman of this convention.
Other names aro being mentioned for this
position, however, nnd It Is posslblo that
thero may be a fight over tno sciocuoa.
CniidldntcM for t'hnlrninii.
No ono has been selected for temporary
chairman of tho populist convention, but it
Is generally believed that whoever is cnosen
will be made tho permanent presiding
onicer. J. II. Edmlstcn of tho populist etnto
central committee will call tho convention
to order and will preside until his successor
Is elected. A Btrong effort Is being made
by Gage county populists to placo Judge E.
O. Krctslngcr of Beatrice In this placo nnd
many of the Lancaster county populists look
with favor upon his selection. Thero la n
good prospect for a bitter fight ln tho popu
list convention and already considerable
talk of n split Is heard around tho hotel
corridors.
The men spoken of for populist delegates
at large are Senator Allen, J. IU Edmlsten,
A. H. Weir, T, H. Tibbies nnd possibly Gov
ernor Povnter. Judge Holcomb's nnmo has
been suggested as a possible candidate, but
his frlend3 nsscrted tonight that ho would
not accept tho honor under any consideration
For democratic delegates nt largo tho
most probable candidates aro R. L. Metcalfe
of Omaha, W. D. Oldham of Kearney, W. II.
Thompson of Grand Island and Judgo A. S.
Tlhbets of this city.
Squabble, of Popullntn.
The populists havo a squabble of their
own to settle over tho delegation from
Omaha. Two sets of delegates aro coming
to town tomorrow. One Is tho "middle-of-the-road"
faction, led by D. Clem Doaver.
and tho other tno lusioniBia, iraum ...
E. Thomas. "Wo won't try tne caso umu
w hear It." said Governor Poyntor today,
Governor Poynter declared that thero is no
.in,,hi hut that tho nonullst convention
would send a delegation to Sioux Falls In
tniptPil fnr Mr. Bryan.
iMnch Interest Is manifested regarding mo
nintfnrm to bo adopted by tbo democratic
convention. It will bo drawn up under tho
nnervlslon of Mr. Bryan, and is unaorsioou
to ho his declaration of the piatiorm wmcn
in his opinion tho national convention at
Kansas City should placo beneath tho feet
of Its presidential nominee. Tbo platform
will bo an affirmation of the cnicago plat
form, will contain planks antagonistic to
thn trusts, declaring against tho formation
of a largo standing army, against tho foreign
policy of the present administration.
At present It is not tno inienuon oi iuu
freo silver republicans to hold a conven
tlon tomorrow, although it may bo so do
termlncd later. The probability Is, however,
that simply a meeting will bo hold and tho
candidacy of Mr. Bryan endorsed. Aftor
the adjournment of the conventions, Mr,
Bryan will deliver an address in the nuui
torlum. Preparations nro being made to
render It a notable event, ns It will bo the
fortieth anniversary of Mr. Bryan's birth.
Mld-Itoailern May Holt.
A plan Is being formulated in the popu
list camp to provent tho mlddle-of-the
roaders from taking their seats In tho popu
list convention, nnd if It results success
fully a third convention will bo held. Th
fuslonlsts will attempt to get control oi
the convention by appointing a commltteo
that will bo Instructed not to approvo the
credentials of tho mlddle-of-the-ronders
iA strong effort Is being raado tonight to
lino up tho populist forces for Secretary of
Stato Porter 'for chairman of tbo populist
convention. Delegations aro hero from tho
following counties: Douglas, Franklin, eb
ster, Hayes, Holt, Antelope, Platte, Fillmore,
Box Butte, Sarpy and Saunders.
J. A. Parker of Kentucky arrived In tho
city tonight and Senator Allen U expecte
on an early train tomorrow morning
It Is not anticipated that there will be
much troublo ln tho democratic conventlo
over tho selection of district delegates, as
these men will bo named ln caucuses tomor
row afternoon. Tho plan generally agreed
upon is for each district to present the
names of two candidates, and If It Is carried
out tho recommendations would probably be
adopted 'by the convention.
Tho Douglas county democracy democrats
will meet tomorrow morning to namo ono
delegato and to consider the endorsement
of John Crelghton, who ban been put up
by tho Jacksonlan men. Tho democracy
candidates nro Walter Molse, Louis J.
Plattl, Gcorgo P. Cronk and Hugh Murphy.
If Crelghton Is endorsed tho democracy
will demand tho endorsement of Its candi
date In return. A big fight Is predicted
over tbo selection of a democratic! state
control commltteo. An effort will be made
to oust Jim Dahlman from his present po
sition as stato chairman and to name "Doc"
Hall of Mead as his successor. Tho original
plan was to make C. J. Kane of David City
secretary, but tho drol now is to make
him treasurer of tho committee and Thomas
Allen of this city secrotary. Congressman
Robinson of tho Third district was brought
out tonight as a candidate for dclegatc-at-
large, In place of Judge Tlbbcts , of this
city.
