Louis 011 December 28 and 29. They varIed lhe monotony \ by roasllng Wl1Ilalll Jennings Bryan , V. O. StrIckler , 'lr.

Bernlne waR selected as chairman of lhe meeting , anti 'Ir. Breen acted as secre- ( c ry. Il was stated that ( the object or the St . Louis conference was to mllke the free slh'er question Ilredominaic III the next gen eral election , but those present were not In favor or this , anti plainly salll that tics silver quesllon , while It was one of tics planl.s In their national plalform ( , was ' of r only mInor Importance , and the banltlng : problem , government ownership or railway , telegraph anti telephone lines , as well as I ot her needed retorms , Were or much more I Importance ( to lhe ( common Ileoplo than any sleclal tall IIIle tree silver 'Ir.

IgnorIng titus real reforms i advocalet1 by the ( populists , anti unite the ii i silver men , regardless or party alllllatlons , 10 I the disadvantage or the people's parly. The spealtCr said that ho know that 'Ir.

The ! democrats had been snowed under at the late contest , and be was sure that the common people wanted no'-Inore or democratic rule , so thIs would bD a 'good ' opportunity for the populists to gain' great slrenglh. _ e. Other speakers condemned the action o f those concerned In the st. Louis meellng and hoped that tt would prove to be a tail ' u re. The resolution will be sent to Mm . .

Mr. Curier said : "So far as short weight Is concerned , I am sorry to say , It Is a fact , but I was not aware that such a thing was beIng done until time rumor reached mo that such was the case. I have always Instructed - structed the ( men who did time weighing to give full wehh but for some reason or other they neglected following my Instructions anl1 how many short weight packages were sent out , I am tumble 10 S1' I think a great many or the short weight packages were put UII through carelessness , or the uti ca who put lhem UI ) were Ineompelent , or did not care to take any pains In wcllhlng np lho goods correctly. On last Saturday mornIng I thought I would see what was the reason these short weight packages were beln" put up , and steppIng back to the counler where the weighting Is done I round lhat ( l lie scales , which were then being used In weighing lhree-pouOl packages ot oatmeal , were set rour ounces short or what they should , be and the smal packages were being weighted on the platform or the scales ini stead or In the scale pan , which Is the proper Place for weighing small articles. ly work was so great hat I had neglected lo eking after tIde part or the work as I should have done. "A last Saturla "s ' meetng of the commissIoners - missIoners I had I\ comiciunication before lhat body , asking tim members 10 investigate lhe I maier and place the blame where It be. longed , as I was positive if I an investigation was hal It would show just how tar I was I 10 blame , Ir at all. When , the resolution I which authorized my dismissal was Intro. . l1ueed at Ice ( meeting Mr. Livesey made a melon to have tim maier laid over unlll an Investgaton could be made but there being no second I was dismissed without a hearing. One ot the commissioners advised me nol 10 have an investigation and said lhat Mr. Baysl1orrer , the man who does most or the weighing , would swear that ho hall receIved instructions tram 10 to weigh up pacltages short weight. I have never given any such instructions , and Mr. Dugbee , my asslslant , w1 bear me out In my state- m ont. All I want Is I fair investigation , In order that the blame may be placed where I rlghlu1y belongs. " . NEW THEATER A CERTAINTY.
