The report, which was read by Gov

ed without a dissenting vote. The
minority report threatened last nighc
by Committeeman Madden of Colorado
did not materialize.
The committee on permanent organ

M. DeiBher of Pennsylvania as perma

platform.
In accepting the position of perma

menced by statins that he would so
far as was in his power rule the con
vention with justice to all. He then
briefly sketched the history of the
populist party and the causes which
led op to its organization.
When the time arrived for choosing
candidates for president and vice pres

convention that his state would give
Bryan a majority in November. Sen

with a will and the convention then
quieted down.
"I announce the nomination by a
unanimous vote of William Jennings

soon as he could be heard. Another
cheer greeted this announcement and
then the delegates settitJ u their seats
to contest over the question of a vice

Howard cf Alabama had suddenly be-

clinched his claim through his eloquent
address in assuming the chairmanship
cf the convention on Wednesday.
Today as the time drew near for
nominations it was annoaaced that the
Barker followers would lwlt the con
vention should their leader be turned
down. Howard took the only course
for the restoration of harmony. He an
nounced that he had no ambition to
head the ticket, had come to Cincin
nati without the slightest expectation
of being named and withdrew his
name.
Nevertheless when the roll wa3 com

Minnesota was passed at its own re
quest and when the other states had
voted it was apparent that the forty
eight votes of Minnesota could settle
everything in a harmonious manner by
going to the Pennsylvania!!. They were
cast for Barker and gave him the re
quisite majority over all.

At the close of the day of armed
inactivity both sides expressed full
confidence in the outcome. The strik
ers accepted the abandoned, car tracks
and silent power houses as an indica
tion that the company was weakening.
The officials of the latter evidently
looked upon their want of success in
Tuesday's numerous engagements as
only a temporary setback.
Secret conferences were held by the
leaders of both sides and the air of
secrecy prevailed around the two head

important character.
The very quiet seemed iminous to
many close observers, and gloomy
forebodings were indulged in some
quarters that all might not be as se-

The police for the first time since
the strike began, showed some appre

the crowd moving prevented a repeti

the previous day. The streets were
filled with people, many of them bear

but they were not allowed to congre

SIOUX FAfia, S. D.. May 10. The
real week of the populist national con
vention. wiH begin in earnest today
the preliminary having been disposed
of by the work done in yesterday's
session. About 600 delegates have
of the vice presidential problem and
spent the day in diligent consideration
of the vice presidential problem and
to some slight extent the situation
has clarified in consequence. While
the result is as uncertain as tt was
yesterday, the line of demarcation is
more sharply drawn. The fight is
now narrowed down until there are
practically but two propositions being
considered. One i3 that the conven
tion nominate a vice president and of
those favoring this action probably
three-fourths or more are preaching
Charles 9. Towne as Bryan's running
mate. The other proposition is that
the waaie matter be delegated to x
empowered to act at San-
City. The Nebraska delegation
agreed to the latter plaa by a vote
of 30 to 12. by agreeing to support,
in convention, the following resolution
presented by M. F. Harrington al
O'Neill:
"Resolved. By the people's party of
the United States of America in dele
gate convention assembled; that a con
ference committee be chosen by this
convention to consist of one person
from each state and territory chosen
by the delegates from the several
states and territories each choosing
one,, and that said committee be and
is hereby empowered and required to
meet a conference committee to be ap
pointed by the democratic national
convention and silver republican con
vention to be held in Kansas City next
July 4. ls..w. and that the conference
committee chosen by this convention
be and is hereby empowered to nom-

ident, then the conference committee
chosen by this convention is empow
ered and required to nominate a pop
ulist or silver republican for the said
office of vice president of the United
States."
In favor of this plan are also lined
up the Colorado. Kansas aad Iowa
delegations and it is believed the ma
jority ot those from Wisconsin and
Michigan. The leaders in this move
