John W. Hrledcuthal of Kansawsald;
Moro (pressure hns been brought to bear
to defeat tho populist party In Kansas than
In any other state in the union. The party
was especially strong there; a special ef
fort had been mnde to throw oft the yoko
of republicanism and It had succeeded, so
the money power of tho Past sent its emis
saries there to stir up discord. And In a
mcawiro It succeeded. Its speakers accom
plished their purpose In making many or
the people bcllevo that the populist party
had abandoned Its principles, so, two years
later, 30,000 voters remained at home from
tho polls, and the state went back Into tho
hands of the republicans. Mut we're going
to win this year. I Invite you all to the
Inauguration,

There was tumultuous applause when
Dryan wao Introduced. Kvery man and
woman In the hall Joined In the demonstra
tion. "I havo eo many opportunities to address
the public that on this occasion I shall not
detain, you but a short while, As the hour
Is late. Tho populist party deserves great
credit for its work In tho education of the
peoplo on tho great current Issues. Tho man
who 'falls to give due crtdlt to the populists
certainly doesn't understand the forces that
ha,ve been at work or else he Is not Inclined
to bo fair. In this state the democrats and
populists have worked hand In hand Joined
In a common cause of reform. The start thus
far mado is encouraging and the outlook for
the futuro is bright. Our usefulness has
only begun."
Warming up on the money question Mr.
Dryan mado In. abridged form tho stereo
typed argument which he has sounded from
ocean to ocean since 1896. He Indicated that
there Is but slight difference between the
essential points of populism and democracy.
He took a whirl at the corporations as usual
and pictured In pessimistic language the
situation of the worklngman as he is looked
upon from the popullstlc viewpoint. He said;
We aro opposed to trusts and to the re
publican party belongs responsibility for
tho Incubus saddled upon the people, The
poor man pays more than he should to sup
port tho government and tho rich man less.
Ono of tho most Important questions that
will confront us during this campaign will
bo that of the election of United States
senators by a direct voto of the people.
This Ij no now question. It has been before
tho peoplo for almost a quarter of a cen
tury. Two democratic congresses have
passed It, but It failed of incorporation Into
tho organic law of tho land: then came
'Wo remihllcan conereSHCs tvhlnh if
by. Now It Is before us again. Much depends
upon how we settle it. This properly dis
posed of. other reforms will becomo easier.
A united Btates senate elected by the peo
plo would bo more friendly to progressiva
measures than a United States senate, a
largo per cent of the members of which
perhaps had purchased their seats from
corruptible legislators. I helleve the demo
cratio platform enunciated at Kansas City
will provide for this great reform.

yesterday morning, Ho will doubtless enjoy
the distinction of being ono of the only two
delegates from all NcW England to par
ticipate In the convention, tho other being
Washburn of the Bame state, who came west
to attend tho Methodist conference In Chi
cago. Mr. Brown has received some mention as
a posslblo choice for vice president with
Bryan. A movement was re:cntly Inaugu
rated at his homo In Brockton looking to
that end and Omaha populists havo received
letters bespeaking support for him. In re
sponse to inquiry ho said during his Omaha
visit that he had heard something of tho
suggestion, but he had not considered him
self an active aspirant.
"Tho populist who starts out to seek
such a preferment from his party," tald Mr.
Brown, "la very apt to get turned down,
but It has been thought possible that the
party might turn to New England for a
candldato for the vice presidency and It was
to meet such a contingency that my name
was mentioned by my friends."
Mr. Brown was the populist candidate for
governor of Massachusetts In ISO.) and has
been a Icider In promulgating tho principles
of tho party In that stato and all over New
England. He Is an old newspaper mnu,
wbb for many years connected with leading
papers In Boston and other points In tho

Late In the afternoon a portion of tho

ance In tho rotunda was tho Blgnal for an
Impromptu reception, and It was at tho risk
of losing caste with his following that ho
withdrew himself from their attention long
enough to enjoy a bath.

for tho nomination of Charles A. Towno of
Minnesota, a ullver republican, did not seem
to meet with seneral favor. There vh a
decided spntlmcnt In favor nf unmn ntrnnir

seemed to have tho namo of such a candi
date at bis tonguo's ond. Tho suggestion of
Towne's namo nnd tho expressed friendliness
of Nebraska populists for him wero Inter
preted by somo of tho visiting delegates to
mean that ho was tho cholco of Mr. Bryan,
but. bo this as It mav. it In well knmvn
that tho ultra Bryan men will advocate the
nomination of no candldato for vlco presi
dent at tho Sloux Falls convention, favoring
tho plan of leaving tho selection of a vlco
presidential candldato to a conference com
mittee to be appointed by tho convention to
announco a selection after conference with
similar committees from tho democratic nnd
silver republican conventions. This action
will be opposed by thow who aro bent on
seeing the vlco presidential nomination go
without chanco of falluro to some populUt.
"Suppose that thts confcrcnco commltteo
should wait until the demo.-
republican conventlono havo nominated

Mr. Towno would havo no standing with
tho large majority of tho populists, nud
Ihcro must be ono populist on tho tlckot to
carry populist strength. It is po?siblo that
tho populists of the south will present no
candldato. You know that they Insisted bo
fcro that tho ntmlnatlon should go to tho
north, Should they (till insist, It would bo
nccccsury to go to tho east nnd select somo

SIOUX FALLS, S. D. May 7. Tho van
guard of the national convention of tho peo

already there Is a sufficient sprinkling of
notables hero to give samcwhat of a can

Congressman Sutherland arrived yesterday
and todny's nrrlvala Include Senator Butler
of North Carolina, chairman of tho national
committee; Senator Pottlgrow of this state
and the Hon. J. 1). Weaver of Iowa.
A number of newspaper correspondents
have also reached tho city. So far none of
the largo body of delegates havo arrived and
very few aro expected before tomorrow,
when tho delegations from Kansas, Ne
braska, Colorado, Texas and othor states of
tho weot aro scheduled to reach the city.
A sufficient number has already come,
however, to make It evident that the hotel
accommodations will soon bo oxhausted, This
will, however, be of little Importance, in
view of tho fact that practically ovcry priv
ate residence In tho city Is to be placed at
the service of tho visitors.
The Wn&hlngtcn arrivals appear generally
disposed to adjourn after tho nomination of
a presidential candidate, leaving tho vlco
presidency to bo arranged for by a com
mltteo of conference with tho democratic
convention at Kansas City, but whether thin
will be carried out will depond, of course,
upon tho sentiment of ho rnnvontlon.
For temporary chairman, Oovornor Rod-

nounced today that he was unable to attend.
This makes another selection necessary.
Among the delegates who have arrived are

rEORIA, III., May 7. Governor Tanner
arrived from Springfield at noon today, ac
companied by Mrs. Tanner, Dr. L. C. Taylor,
his physician, and a. number of personal
friends. Ho wan driven to tho home of
Colonel Fred II, Smith. Immediately after
his arrival bo said to a representative cf
tho Associated Press that he was here to
exert his Influence on the state convention
in the Interest, not of any Individual, but
of the republican party.
"Wo cannot afford to endanger our chances
of controlling the next legislature," said he,
"by naming any man for United States sena
tor. Under tho present apportionment tho
democrats have the advantage of us and it
will take the united efforts of all loyal re
publicans to assure a republican majority
on Joint ballot. There aro many able and
ambitious men In Illinois who could bril
liantly represent this stato In tho scnato. It
will not do to make thorn apathetic In the
campaign by naming a senatorial candidate
at thla time."
"Supposo Senator Culiom should ask for
Instructions for vice president, what will be
your'course then?"
"I should certainly oppose Instructions for
Cullom for the vice presidential nomina
tion. That would bo merely a convenient
and deceptive cloak for his senatorial boom."
Oovornor Tanner will open headquarter
at the National hotel this afternoon,
Thono Is no change at 1 p. m. In tho
gubernatorial situation.
Colonel Jenkins Jtmtlllen Ills Itnlinu.
FAIRBURY, Neb,, May 1, 1900. To the
Editor of The Bee: I desire to call your
attention to such eminent authorities on
parliamentary law as dialling's -Manual and
Reed's Parliamentary Rules as sustaining
the decision made by me us chairman of tho
republican stato convention, held at Lin
coln, Wednesday, May 2, that "The mover
of tho original motion has no right or power
to accept nn amendment after It has been
stated to tho convention, If there Is a single
objection," and In tho cuso mentlonoJ there
wero many objections.
Cushlng's Manual, sections 4, 92, 93, pages
66 and 67, says:
Section 4. Modification or amendment by
tho mover.
92. Tho mover- of a proposition Is some
times allowed to modify It after It has been
stated ns a question by the presiding officer,
but as this Is equivalent to a withdrawal of
the motion in order to substitute another In
lUi place, and since, as has already been
seen, a motion regularly made, seconded
and proposed, cannot be withdrawn without
leave, It la clear that practice alluded to
rests only upon general consent; and that,
If objected to, the mover of a proposition
must obtain the permission of the assembly,
by a motion and question for the purpose,
In order to enable him to modify his propo
sition. 93. So, too, when an amendment has been
regularly moved and seconded. It Is some
times the practice for the mover of the
proposition to which It relAtes to signify his
consent to It. and for tho amendment to be
'thereupon made, without any question being
taken upon It by the assembly. As this pro
ceeding, howevor, Ifl essentially the same
with that described In the preceding para
graph, It of course rests upon the same
foundation, and Is subject to the same rule.
Topi Reed's Parliamentary rules, section
150. page 109, say:
160. Amendment. Modification by tho
Mover. After the proposition has been
stated to tho assembly by tho presiding offi
cer it is in tho possession of the assembly
and cannot be withdrawn except by ,the con
sent of tho aescnjbly. Hence It follows that
the movor has no further control over Its
terms. He cannot modify It himself or assent
In any way that will bind tho assembly to
Its modification by any other member.
Nevertheless, nothing Is moro common
than a modification made by the mover or
the acceptance by him of an amendment
made by nnothcr, but all this must
bo understood to bo done with
tho consent of tho assembly and can bo
prevented by the objection of any member.
Thereupon tho chango con be mode by the
orderly process, amendment, as already de
scribed. Believing tho nbovo quotations cover the
ground mcst thoroughly and fully sustain
tho position assumed by me, I am with
great respect, yours very truly,
GEO ROE E. JENKINS.
Note. Tho Bee's criticism of Chairman
Jenkins was not directed at his ruling thut
unanimous consent Is required to Incorpo
rate an amendment Into a motion, but at
his persistence In ordering a roll call when
two viva voce votea had shown tho amend
ment to have carried by an overwhelming
majority, which, too, was disclosed by tho
almost unanimous roll call,

It is stated by local architects that active
building operations will commence here as
soon ns brick Is Obtainable. Tho local brick
yards sturted up a little earlier than usual
this spring, but tho recent heavy rains 'have
caused considerable delay In tho drying of

posure to tho atmosphere before being placed
In tho kilns. This drying has been greatly
retarded by the wet spell of neither and
consequently the burning of the kilns hns
been delayed. It Is predicted thut It will be
tho mlddlo of Juno bcforo brick In any
quantity will be on tho market.
