Mp., July ZS. —Not ntort than half tha delegates to tha I’opu Hat convention wore in their seat* at 10 o'clock thia morning when Senator Allen, the permanent chairman, ap peared on the platform. Four mln utee later he called the convention to order. It was drizzling outside and there were not more than 3110 people In the galleriee The delegatee atood with bowed head* while the Uev. Wilber K Wil liams of the Union Methodist church of this city invoked the divine bleat ing. Among those on the platform were ex-Governor Waite of Colorado, Senator I'effer of Kansas, General field of Virginia, National Committee man Branch of Georgia and Mra Helen Oougar of Indiana. Chairman Allen Introduced Mra Marlon Todd of Michigan, who had been conspicuous as a i'opullet speaker for several years. She baa a strong face, with clear, brown eyea Her dark hair was streaked with gray. She announced the death of Mra. K. M. Kmory of Miohigan, a worker in the reform cause, paid a glowing tribute to her memory, aud offered a resolution expressing the regret of the convention at her untlhiely death.

Kmory's work, say ing that the influence of her book, "Seven Financial < onspirscies,” bad been largely responsible for the growth jf Populism in his state. The resolution was unanimously adopted by a rising vote. A. A. A os, an Ohio delegate, pre sented to Chairmen Allen a gavel con taining lii pieces of silver and 1 of gold. The wood of the handle waa Elusory. < sotaln O. A. Lloyd of Rochelle, N. y., and Mrs. Pen nington "the sweet singer of Arkansas, then en tered the hall dressed in the costumes of “Uncle hem" and Columbia." Lloyd wore tbe red, white ami blue spike-tailed coat uml the tall hat of "Uncle Sam,” while Mr*. Psauinglou was arrayed in the star* and stripes and wore the shield and turban of tbe American goddess They made their way to the platform amid a spattering of cheers, and taced the delegate* while Mrs Pennington sang a Pop ulist campaign song. JK.HHY SIMl'SOU PKOTKS’I*. Jerry Simpson mounted a chair and protested against frittering away any more time of the convention. Tbe delegatee, bs said, were present at great expense, and the convention should get down to business John W. Lore of California declared tbe rules of tbe Omaha platform pro hibiting federal ofllceholder* from taking part In the deliberations of a Populist convention, should be en forced. Ill* protest was evidently aimed at Senators Sutler of North Carolina and Allen of Nebraska, the temporary and permanent chairman. He was applauded by some m ddl—of tbe-road men, but no action was taken. Tbe committee to confer with a similar committee from the silver con vention waa then appointed, one from eacli state. While these selections were being made some one in the gallery over tbe speaker's stand attempted to hang out a banner representing Hryan with one foot on the Democratic and one on the Republican platform, lie was prompt ly suppressed. Tbe banner bad bocu sent into the gallery by the Texas delegation. When Texas wan called for her member of the conference committee. Delegate Park, moved up and shouted: "Texas never treats with the enemy. Texas nurnes no member of that committee.” The committee immediately retired to meet the silver committee, while Congressman Howard culled upon the Chair for a statement of the nurposea of the conference committee ami tile powei with which it was clothed. Senator Allen responded that the ob ject was to ascertain if the two com binations could Hud common irroumt toatandon. Anything it did would l>« Rubjeul to liie cul)*iM|iieut action at the convention. It liad no plenary power. rteiiT ovkii riik hi'i.kk.

To do so, be argued, would save the life of the People's party. The anll-Ilryan delegatee grew obstreperous a* he proceeded and a dozen points of order wers made, among them one that lie wae not discussing the ques'ioU at Issue. Chairman Allen overruled these points right and left. •’Sit down,” "Sit down," cried a hundred voices. "1*11 not sit down," replied Judge Urrene, fiercely. When Ureeue had completed hla 1 speech Congressman Howard of Ala- j bams, one of the s'ralght-outs. came forward. As he spoke his eves Hashed and hie cheeks burned. Ue was greatly aroused. He took a shot at Senator Allsn for suggesting that "any man wearing a delegate’s badge was Influenced by (lie use of money." He advocated taking up the report section by section He wanted to nominate a Vice President first Tbls statement was greeted with many cries of "no, no," and Jeers, while hla faction of the eonvention howled with delight. Ilewar.l pleaded for the nomination of Vice President first in the interest of the South and party harmony. 1C.

There were loud cries for "Cyclone” Ilavlesnd Jerry Himpson. The former responded and made a characteristic speech, with arms waving like the fana of a windmill and a voice that sounded like e foghorn. He did not want to Impugn the motives of any one, but he wauled to know If tha men from the "created heights" would five the Houth the second place. 'here were loud cries of "Yes, we will.” Davis raised a storm of ap plause when he declared that the men from the North must not ask them to advocate or defend a redeemable money. The cheers came from the prairie slates He went on tossy that another thing that they must uot be required to do was to take thla young * Sampson" of the People’s party, and lay it on the altar of Democracy. He announced that they were willing to accept the "Joshua'' of Nebraska if they could be assured of a candidate of tbslr own for Vice President, aud the preservation of the People's party Tom Patterson of Colorado followed with, a strong speech against the adoption of the minority report. Delegate Bateman of Maine attempt^ ed to reply to Mr. I’atteraon, but Jerry Himpson got the floor and created en thusiasm among the anti-He wall men by declaring that Kansas would cast her ninety-two vole* for a Houthern man for vice preaident. "You don't speak for me,” cried Brown of the Hunflower state. "Well, then," retorted Himpson, "one of the ninety-two nas gone astray. But 1 say to tbe Houth if you will give u* the president vie will give you tbe vice president.” Jttd^e Plowman of Dakota, who said he represented the only atate that hud two Populist United Hiates Henators, favored the majority report, but said Houth Dakota would be for the middle-of-the-road man for vice president If the delegation could be convinced "that it was for the best in terest cf tbe party.” This qualifica tion* raised a storm of Jeers. At this point the previous question was ordered, but K. Gerry Brown and Barney Gibbs of Texas managed to get in two speeches under tbe guise of parliamentary inqnirles. The latter advocated tho nomination of a Houth ern man for Vice President and fusion of electors. "Will you pledge your delegation for Bryan?” asked Jerry Himpson. "Has Kansas pledged her vote* for a Houthern man for Vice President?” Gibbs parried tills interrogatory by saving that he could not speak for the delegation. A dispute of ten minute* followed over the parliamentary status, but tbe tangle was stra ghiened out and the convention took up the report, section by section. Another ten t^inctex were consumed before t^e contested sec tions of the report were readied. An Alahumba middle of the road delegate moved to change the rule* xo as to re quire two-thirds to nominate, but his motion wax not entertained. The minority recommendation of three Instead of ono im-raber of the na tional committee from each State was adopted, as wax Senator llutlnr's mo tion tlial the national committee se lect its own chairman. When the clause relating to the Older in which pre-iidential and vice presidential candidates should be uominsted was reached the floodgates were agaiu opened. “Cyclone” itaria attempted to pour oil ou the troubled water* by declaring that he had pledges from the Kansas, Nebra-ka and Illinois delegation* that, if the convention would not disturb the reg ular order of things, those state* would vote for uu ■ honest Populist" for vice president “Then, If they betray us,” he began. ••He won't,” shouted some of the Illinois men, but liavta' u*u Stale howled that she would not make auy deal. lUvia was plainly iu disfavor with bta own delegation.

The air In the hall was eitremely op pressive. but the delegates, with their coat* over their arms, stood about, discussing the situation, the advis ability of Indorsing Bryan, the planks of the platform and kindred topics The middle-of-the-road men were vociferating everywhere, the noise they made being heard above tha mu sic from tha gallery. J. J. Crandall of Camden, N. J., was about distributing circulars In favor of the ratification of the "platform of the new-born Democracy, lately chris tened at Chleaga” “The trouble will soon begin,” he shoutedi "we don’t want harmony.” About 10 o'clock Senators Stewart of Nevada. Kyle of North Dakota and Allen of Nebraska took seats on the platform. At 10:09 Senator Butler, the temporary chairman, appeared. Simultaneously the band struck up "Dixie," sod the delegates shouted. The attendance lu the galleries was very small, not more than 900 people being present. Five minutes later Chairman Butler culled the convention to order and tha Rev. Mr. Smith of fered the invocation. After an unheard and unnotlocd an nouncement by an Illinois delegate, the report of the committee on cre dentials was called for, but no one responded, and the etatee were called for members ot tbe committees on permanent organisation and resolo latlona While announcements were being made a middle-of-the-road man at tain ptad a demonstration. It was dramatically arranged, but It onlv served to demonstrate the hopeless minority of tbe straight outs. There was a ripple of applause and a few slionta when the name of Jacob B. Coxle was announced as a member of tbe committee on platform from Ohio. There were also demonstra tions for (Jovernor Holcomb of Ne braska, General Weaver of Iowa and ex-Governor Lewelling of Kansas, when their names were shouted out, Conspicuous on the stage was a woman who sat with the Kentucky delegation. Bhe was dressed In white and above her dark tresses floated several long white plumes Bhe proved to be the bride of Delegate Taylor, editor of the Paducah, Ky., Herald. The announcements were completed at 11:49 o'clock. Delegate Dixon of Oklahoma then mounted the stage and, after adjuring the delegates to be quiet and not Interrupt, lntrcduced Clarena K. Comley of Oklahoma, wbo regaled the convention with some campaign songs. An Alabama delegate then Intro duced "Mlsstreas Pennington, the sweet camDsign singer of Arkansas” Bhesanga parody on "Yankee Doodla Dandy, each verse of which con cluded: tsales# l>oo.!le get your geo. loot the goldbugt, every one: snkss DoniJln Dandy Delegate Crawford of Kansas moved that the delegates of the silver con vention be admitted on exhibition of I heir badges There were many cries of "No" "No” from the middle of the road men, who evidently thought they saw in thisa move to pack the galleries with Bryan sbouters, and Sergeant-at arms McDowell said that It was Im possible to carry out instructions. Thereupon Jerry Blmpson mounted a chair and said it was no more than common courtesy to extend to other conventions which were here in a common cause the same privilege which they had extended to the dele gates of this convention. After some wrangling Chsirmau liutier, amid bowls of delight from the straight outs, ruled tlie motion out of order Mr. Washburns of Massachusetts from the stage announced that he bad an impostant resolution to offer, it proved to be one deprecutiug the talk of a split in the convention, and was as follows: _ u*. ..II It_l:_s. .1 deprecate the talk which haaappeared in linos of the newspapers that there is a disposition on Hie part of any por tion of this convention to refuse to abide by the action of this con veution. therefol e, ••Resolved, That we repudiate all such utterances tut a reflection upon the rtdel ly of the members of this convention nnd of the People's party."

Louis, Mo., July St.—-The Ilrysa people are now claiming that he will be nominated on the first ballot by the Populists, but most of them conoede that It will be very difficult to secure similar action Id Mr. Hawaii's behalf, though they have not abandoned their efforts in this direction. They now contemplate an adjournment of the convention lmmedlatly after Mr. Bryan's nomination, with the hope of bringing the opposition to Mr. Sewall to see the wisdom of his support. In mrnmm (nil •« ftnwnU, bliv |/Wn* W ve accept the nomination of Mr. Bryan Independent of Bewail. They state that thle can be done and that tha Populist Htate organizations can, where they have a mind to do so, adopt the Bryan and Bewail tickets regardless of the action of the nation* al convention. Henator Jones, the Democratie chairman, has bssn consulted upon this plan and has given his opinion that it is possible. Mr. Jones is, however; etlll holding out for the in* dorsement of the entire ticket ss the best and only wise course to be pur* sued. He is urged to do this by Mr. Brysn himself, who has telegraphed that he is disinclined to acoept any indorsement that Is not also given te his Democratic running mate. Boms of Mr. Bryan's friends say, however, that they will take what they can get, and that even if Mr. Bryau does not formally accept tha nomination they will make him their candidate, regardless of this formal* ity. Home regard this as the best position for him to be placed In. With reference to Bewail, hie friends, and those of Mr. Bryan, hold that the Western states would pursue the course they outline of taking both regardless of the convention's action on He wall. They think a Populist candidate for Vice President would be voted for in the Houth, but they rely on the Democrats to oarry the Southern states for both Bryan and Sewall. MISSOURIANS ACT.
