They llnro A creed Upon No Definite Lino of Aettoti, but Seem Determin ed to Fight torn Kepnrute Ticket Dryan's Friends Very Con fidant of Winning -Gov. Stono on the Scene, St. Louis, Mo., July 20. Chairman Tnubcncck of tho Populist national commlttco returned from Chicago this morning nnd his coming was tho sig nal for renewed nctlvity on tho part of tho middle-of-the-road Popullnts, who hopo to prevent an indorsement of llryan nnd tho Chicago platform. His visit to Chlcngo. which was partly duo to his fear that tho Illinois dele gation would leave him iu the lurch, nnd not to make terms with tho Dem ocrats as waB reported yesterday, was apparently not productive of results. Tills morning ho was in secret confer ence with the autl-liryan leaders and tho national headquarters wero prac tically deserted. Mr. Taubcneck, It is said, found several stumbling blocks In his path to Chicago. For ono thing, Dr. Tay lor, one of tho most noted members of tho People's party in llllnois,is openly CHAIRMAN II. E. TAURENECK. for Bryan and there are many other Populists in Illinois who aru believed to hold tho samo opinion. To liavo his own delegation go ngainst him would be very distasteful. In their conference tho anti-ltryan men agreed on no definite plnn of action, but they seemed-determined to make a straight-out fight-for a sep arate ticket and platform. Tho Mis sissippi, Rhode Island, Conneticut. Michigan and Texas delegations will help them. At the Omaha-Rryan headquarters there was much Jubilation over indi cations of the growing strength of tho movement to indorse Rryan and Sewall. GOVERNOR STONE ON THE SCENE. Among tho arrivals this morning wns Governor Stono of Missouri. Ho came, it Is said, in response to a tele gram from some of the Populists, who nre in favor of tho nomination or in dorsement of llryan, and is to do mis sionary work among the "middle of tho road" continpent. The latter are to hold a mass meeting at the Llndell hotel to-morrow afternoon to start the movemont against Rryan, and Gov ernor Stone and other friends of tho Democratic candidate, will try to neu tralize the efforts of tho opposition. NO Q0I.1) CONORE8SIONAI. NOMINEES. The sliver people are very quiet Few of them are here, and none of the delegates aro expected before Monday. Tho leaders this morning formulated a new demand, which meets tho approval of the Populists who havn been consulted. It is that they shall insist upon the withdrawal of all Democratic congressional nom inees who are "sound money'' or gold standard men, or, if they will ?ot withdraw, that the silver U.eu and Populists unite in putting up in every congressional dUtrlct a free sliver candidate. This, it is urged, hhould be presented to tho national Demo cratic committee as un ultimatum. The Populists, it is understood, are to concentrate their work and attempt to elect a congress which will favor free silver and to accomplish this it 1b necessary to have the co-operation of the Democratic party. The Populists who are opposed to Mr. Rryan say that if lie is nominated the delegates of Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Conmctlcut, and possibly Teune- eo, -will it Secretary J. II. Turner of the Popu list national committee, who arrived this morning, is outspoken in his de sire that this convention shall indorse Rrynn and Sewall. "It is ti prac tical and patriotic thing for us to do," said he. "If we fall to do It we will jeopardize the vital Issue of the cam paign free silver an origin:,! tenet of the Populist fnlth. I believe free silver is golnar to win, anyhow, and If we fall to Indorse the only man who stands any chance of winning for the causo of silver, we will be shorn of any ot the glory except as Individuals and be classed as its enem.v. The ma jority of Populists are not going to fritter iway a principle so dear to thorn as has always been the restora tion of silver to its constitutional function as a money medium." Nebraska Populists Going In Force. Omaha, Neb., July 20.

Will Lend livery Energy to llrlng About Ills Indorsement Denver, Col., July 20. Senator Teller said yesterday: 'My friends and myself will lend overy energy to bring nbout Mr. Rrynn 's indorsement at St. Louis. Of course, there is go ing to bo some opposition. Senator Marlon Rutlcr of North Carolina is leading tho' opposition. I believe lie is making a mistnko. I think he and his friends will realize this before tho convention, and I am willing to mako this prophecy: 'Either the Populists will Indorse Rryan or they will fall to make a nomination.' There is no rea son why thoy should not Indorse him. for tho financial plank adopted by tho Chicago convention is all the Pop ulists can ask for, and the other planks of the platform are c 'rtninly more than they had any reason to ex pect from a Democratic convention." A New Populist Plan. Terre Haute, Ind., July 20 Mor ton C Rankin, treasurer of the nation al committee, and a member of tho executive committee, says tliat'in his opinion, under tho existing circum stances, the practical thing for tho Populists and silverltes to do at St Louts next week would be to nomi nate Rrynn, change the Democratic platform in a few details, add tho referendum plank, then nominate their own candidnte for vice presi dent He thinks the second place should go South, and suggests the names of Judge Nimis of Georgia, Senator Martin Rutler of North Caro lina, and Colonel Mimmis of Tennessee.

And those who nro called upon to vote havo a right to consider tho platform utterances or policies advo cated by the various parties, as well . us tho character of tho candidates who ato nominated. "Tho issue is drawn and we havo our choice in this campaign between an American finnncial system for tho American people nnd an English finan cial system to bo forced upon us. (Ap plause.)
