ST LOUIS. July 23 When Chatrmar
St. John called the sliver convention tt
order he said he was sorry to announce thai
Rev MNIcholls. . who was to open the con-
vcntlon with prajer , had betn called from
the city
Congressman Newlands move-d that i
committee on ways and means be appointee
to raise funds with which to defray the ex
pttism of the convention.
Vice Chairman Towne was then Intro
| / cjuced. He said that the press of the coun
try had apparently forgotten Its sacred dut ]
and had become the pliant tool of monopoly
Money was lb < god It worshipped. But th <
day of regeneration was at hand. Ulster ;
was being made today. The people ha <
suffered grievously at the bands of the mo
nopolles and trusts , but hereafter the :
would look after their own affairs He con
eluded by denouncing the perniclousness o
the present money system.
The speaker reftrre-d to the bolt of Sena
tor Teller from the republican conventloi
tnd spoke of the "heroism and patriotism
of the senator from Colorado to the deligh
of the delegates Next be referred to Mr
I'ryzn who hi said , was born the year o
the election of Lincoln. He then euloglzec
the democratic candidate In glowing terms
This evoked the blepest demonstratioi
which has thus far characterized the con
ventlcn.
Referring again to the money question h
paid It was backed by men who used epi
thcts and abuse instead of arguments. Speak
Ing of Chauncey M. Depew. he said Mr De
pew was a man whose jokes were sough
for on this side of the water and hi
opinions on the other , where he was not s
well known Mr. Depew was a gold stand
aril man and a monopolist and wanted t
Impose the English yoke of gold on th
ne-cks of the people of America. Th
speaker next explained the free silver ques
tlon , and he attempted to show how bar
times would vanish when fre
silver appeared Three months ag
the man who would have dare <
to predict that free silver would win li
the coming election would have been se
down as an Imbecile. Now the tnovemen
bad grown to Mich proportions that victor ;
ws not only possible , but certain : certalr
If the silver forces united. Sacrifices mus
be made on all sides. The factions must al
unite , and the patriotic people would b
relieved of their burdens There was Iou <
and uproarious cheering by the delegate
when Mr Towne ended.
ACCORDING TO JOHN PETER.
Ex-Govcrncr St. John was then called UPD :
to speak He was greeted with cheers H.
told how corn -was worth 10 cents a bushe
anl oats S cents and potatoes C cents ;
bushel In Minnesota. This was one of th
reasons fo many farmers believed in fre
silver. A lew raontls ago nearly everybod ;
believed that nothing on earth could defea
William McKInley for president. But tb <
surrender of American Interests to Grea
Britain at the republican convention hai
fallen upon McKinley like a bolt of lightning
It changed the sentiment of the whol
country Free silver ct 16 to 1 would swee ,
the nation The people had arisen an <
would defeat "the corrupt gold power'
But to do this a vast deal of mlsslonar ;
xjork must be done There were thousand
an3 thousands of voters who had been ralsle
by the ' goldbugs " The cry was that I
free silver were adopted it would make thl
country the dumping ground for the sllve
of the world The speaker hoped It would
If all the silver In the world were dumpei
In this couwrv and coined It would enl ;
make ? * " -i ) per capita. And that was not toi
much. Should this be done It would xnak
this the most prosperous country of th
world Never In the history of America ha <
It ben so hsrd to keep gold here as unde
the present tystcm Under It tC2.009tO
worth of bonds had been issued and th
forking people plundered by the Wall stree
syndirstes and English bond sharks.
When Mr St John ended his talk , a bl
banner on which was painted two humai
figures , one marked "McKlnley" and th
other "Monopoly. " was exhibited. Abov
both was "Down These. " Its appcaranc
was loudly appl&uded
The next one to address the conventloi
was Mrs Helen Gougtr of Indiana. Sh
denounced the ' gold bug monopolists" an
"Wall street plutocrats and English bom
sharks" and said the only salvation o
the people fro.n serfdom was to dcclar
for the free coinage of silver. She de
nounced Mr McKinley and the platform o :
which be stands. She denounced the re
puMlcaa party , the liquor traffic and th
turn power of the world. The saloon keepers
the rum power and the anarchists , she said
were with McKinley. So were the thieve
of Wall street. "
A * Mrs Cougar concluded she called upo ;
the band to play "America" and the dele
gates to Join in singing , which the } did.
At thp request of the Ccainecticut delega
tlon , Judge J. O. Scldcn of that state wa
given the ktand His remarks were a re
I'cvv of foreign trade relations as affecte
by the iilver issue.

There were loud and uproarious calls for
"Coin' Harvey of Illinois. He refuwd to
go upon th platform , an tie said he was
not well or strong enough.
WHEN SHALL WE MEET AGAIN ?
Vice Chairman Towae presided at the
afternoon session.
W. P St John moved that whtn the con
vention adjourned It adjourn till 10 o'clock
tomorrow. He did this because the con
ference committee was not ready to report-
Tbis motion wts amended ; o as to make the
adjournment until S o'clock this evening.
Mr Turner of Kansas wanted the conven
tion to get down to business If its sersion'
were protracted many of ( be delegates would
be compelled to go home.
An Illinois delegate said that every dele
gate there was tor Brjan and Sewall. And
If the convention went ahead and nomi
nated a ticket It would weaken Its Influence
with the people's party.
Mr Baker of California was opposed to
an evening session.
The Kansas delegation continued to object
to adjourning until tomorrow.
Mr Baker went on to say that the con
vention would be ready to adjourn as soon
as Its platform was adopted , because In It
Brjan and Sew all were recommended as
the nominees of the sliver party. This re
mark brought out loud applause.
General Warner of Ohio agreed with
Baker and advised an adjournment until to
morrow.
Chairman Little of the Kansas delegation
thought it would be a mistake to adjourn
until tomorrow
W P. St. John Insisted that It would be
an Insult to the people's party to adopt the
platform before the conference committees
of the two conventions had met. Such ac
tion would be to jam a ticket or an attempt
to jam a ticket down the throat of the pee
ple's part > . A half dozen more speeches
were made nnd twice that number of men
shouted for recognition In the midst of
the furore the previous question was or
dered The vote was on the amendment tc
St. John's motion , that when the convention
adjourned It be until 10 a. m. tomorrow
The amendment was to change the time tc
S p. m. tonight. The amendment was lost
by ne yeas to 151 nays by a rising
vote The original motion was adopted. A
good deal of confusion followed and some
of the delegates went to their hotels
A general wrangle followed over the de
mand made by some of the delegates thai
a poll of the convention be made to find
out the previous political beliefs of the dele
gates. It was f.nallv decided to proceed
with the roll call of states The result
showed that there were 525 republicans. 133
democrats , 47 populists 9 prohibitionists. 3
nationalist. 1 greenbacker. 12 Independents
Twenty states failed to report.
The following resolution was read and re
ferred to the committee Tin resolutions :
Kesolved. That the national committee'
of the silver , democratic and populist par
ties * be requested to refer to and decimate
the Bryan-Sewall ticket , vs-nenpvcr practi
cable as the " "American Vnlon" ticket.
A resolution was adopteJ requesting all
the veterans of the late war to stand up
and be counted. Objections were made that
at least half the delegates had gone to their
hotels It was decided to postpone counting
the veterans till tomorrow It was an
nounced that the reason for the poll was tc
refute the arguments of the gold standard
men. that all the old soldiers were for Mc
Kinley.
The convention then adjourned till 1C
o'clock tomorrow.

The Evening Post says the committee ol
forclsn bankers appointed at the meeting
held at Morgan's office yesterday to formu
late a plan for checking the export of gold
during the next two months is not expected
to make a report for two or three days. It
is the intention to arrange a pool by which
all demands for exchange may be supplied
during that time Tills morning there was
a decline of one-half cent in posted rates
for sterling exchange. The only gold th t
will be shipped on Saturday will be that
for which arrangements had already been
made and which could not very well be
countermanded. The amount , however , will
be much smaller than was originally ex
pected.
Mr. J. P. Morgan was asked today by t
reporter of the Associated press -ahether a
meeting of the committee of international
bankers would be called today. Mr. Morgan
stated that he considered It inexpedient tc
advertise the proceedings of the committee
at present , but expressed confidence that tb
committee would be able to complete the
work It had undertaken with success and
wanted it understood that no news thai
eouM be properly given to the public would
be withheld. ,
The bankers present at yesterday's meet
ing today referred all questions to J. P.
Morgan One of those present , in speaking
of the result , said : "The report that for
eign bankers have agreed to sell exchange
not to exceed I15.000.0&0 and have promised
not to ship gold for two months is hardlj
correct. We have , however , been assured
of a supply o ! exchange not to exceed 13.-
000.000 in "the next two months to be pro
vided bv a syndicate comprising powerful
local and international interests at a price
lower than the cost of exporting gold tc
Europe. The details of this agreement have
not jet been arranged.

CHICAGO , July 23. The committee of
gold standard democrats called to consider
the advisability of issuing a call for an
other national convention was held tonight
at the Auditorium annex. The meeting
convened shortly after S o'clock and was
held In secret. Among those present were
Colonel James 0. Brodhead ot Missouri.
General E. S. Bragg and Senator Vllas ot
Wisconsin , Colonel J. M. Martin. Judge
French , Thomas Bowman. Henry Vollmer ,
E. W. Boynton. E. M. Sharon of Iowa , W.
D. Bynum of Indiana , Euclid Martin and
Fred Vaughn of Nebraska. Telegrams
were received at the conference from prominent
*
inent democrats all over the country
strongly endorsing the movement for an
other ticket. Comptroller Eckels did not
appear and the meeting , after watting some
time for him , went Into session.
General E. S. Bragg of Wisconsin was
elected chairman and C. A. Ewlng of Illi
nois secretary. The conference definitely
decided that a convention should be called ,
the only question being whether the meet
ing of tonight should Issue the call and
on this a lively debate ensued.
C. M Davis of Kentucky presented the
principal resolution calling for a convention
to be held September 1 In Detroit.
R. W Knott of Kentucky spoke In favor
of calling the convention at once. Senator
I Vllas of Wisconsin violently opposed the is-
I suing of a call by the conference. He
i thought the best way was to appoint a committee -
| mittee to select representatives from every
I state. He did not believe that each state
' should hold a state convention , but that a
mass meeting should be held in each state
to nominate delegates to a national conven
tion It was too late to hold a convention
in the regular way.
After a long debate a resolution was
adopted that it was a sense of the me-etins
that a dcmo-nlle convention should be held ,
a democratic platform enunciated , and candi
dates for president and vice president
chosen , and that the convention should be
held not later than September 2.
A committee of one from each state repre
sented was appointed to draft a call for the
convention , with orders to report to the
general meeting at 11 o'clock tomorrow
morning.

ST LOUIS. July 23. The middle-of-the-
road men held a meeting at the Texas head
quarters Just before the hour for the after
noon session of the convention. It was a
tumultuous and enthusiastic Fathering The
net result was the adoption of a motion de
claring that it was the sense of the middle-
of-the-road men that no compromise should
be entertained or adopted by them until a
platfortn-of-popullst. principles , was edopted
and a straight-out ticket was nominated
also thai an effort should be made to have
the friends of Butler on the committee on
permanent organization withdraw his name
so that all their friends might unite upon
Campion of Maine , ihclr forces not to be
divided upon the question of a permanent
chairman.
Soon after the meeting was called to order
a Georgia man presented what is known as
the Georgia proposition. There was great
cheering nnd more shouting than anything
else until a North Carolina delegate declared
that the middle-of-the-road men had acted
more like a "disorganized mob" than any
thing else since they had been In St. Louis ,
end. as a result , they did not now know
what strength they had.
7n answer to these declarations it was
declared that the middle-of-the-road
- - - men
had a majority and if they would act to
gether they could capture tne convention
and name their candidates.
Reference to Debs as a candidate evoked
a. storm of applause. A Californian named
Debs of Indiana and Burkett of Mississippi
as the ticket and great satisfaction was ex
pressed.
The Georgia plan , they claim. Is substan
tially that which Taubeneck and "Cyclone '
Davis proposed a week ago. It was asserted
that the executive committee of the national
committee , which had been considered anti
Bryan , had been working for the Tauben-
eck-Davis plan and had made a poll of the
various ttatf-s and claimed a majority of
260 against Bryan.

ST. LOUIS. July 2 * The subcommittee
ot twenty-five of the populist committee on
re-solutions was at work at midnight on the
platform to be reported to the full com
mittee tomorrow. It had at that time
acreed upon a preamble and financial and
land planks and upon some minor matters
As the subcommittee comprises a tnajflrlty
of the entire committee. It Is more than
probable that Its recommendations will \re
accepted. So far as the platform has been
completed. It Is as follows
"Preamble The people's party , assembled
in national convention , reaffirms its alle
giance to the principles declared by the
founders of the republic , and also to the
fundamental principles of Just government
as enunciated In the platform of the party
In lf. 2. but recognizes that through the
action of the present and preceding adminis
trations ! the country has reached a crisis In
Its national life , as predicted In our plat
form four years ago. and prompt and patri
otic action Is the supreme duty of the hour.
"We realize that we have political inde
pendence. Our financial and Industrial In
dependence Is yet to be attained by restor
ing to the peoples government the con
stitutional control and exercise of the
functions necessary to that end. which func
tions have been basely surrendered by our
public servants to the monopolies The In
fluence of European money changers has
been more potent in shaping legislation
than the voice of the American people
Executive poner and patronage have been
used to corrupt our legislatures and
defeat the will of the rcc le ,
and plutocracy has thereby i"vn
enthroned upon the ruins of the democracy
To restore the government of the fathers
and for the welfare and prosperity of this
and future generations , we demand the es
tablishment of an economic and financial
system which shall make us masters of
our own affairs. Independent of European
control , by the adoption of the following
declaration of principles
"Finance 1. We demcnd a national cur
rency , safe and sound , issued by the general
government only , a full legal tender for al >
debts , public and private , and without the
use of banking corpoialiens : a Just , equita
ble and efficient means of distribution direct
to the people , and through the lawful dis
bursements of the government.
" 2. We demand the free and unrestricted
.colne of silver and cold at the present
ratio of 16 to 1. by the United States , with
out the consent of foreign nations.
"We demand the volume of circulating
medium be speedily increased to an amount
sufficient to meet the demands of the busi
ness and population of this country and to
restore the just level of prices and produc
tion and thereby establish prosperity and
happiness for the people
" 4 We denounce the sale of bonds and
the increase of the public Interest-bearing
debt made by the present administration as
unnecessary and without authority of law ,
and we demand a law absolutely prohibit
ing the sale of bonds or the Increase of the
public debt , except In an act or acts of con
gress authorizing the same.
" 5. We demand such legislation as will
prevent the demonetization of the lawful
money of the United States by private con
tract.
" 5 We demand that the government. In
payment of Its obligations sh ll use its
own option as to the kind of lawful money
In which they ere to be peid. end we de
nounce the present and preceding cdminis-
trations for surrendering this cptlon to
the holders of government obligations.
" 7. We demand a graduated Income tax ,
to the end that aggregated wealth shall bear
its just proportion of taxation , and we de
nounce the decision of the supreme court in
regard to the income fax law , as a misinter
pretation of tec constitution and an In
vasion of the right and power of congress
over the subject of taxation
"S. We demand that postal savings banks
be established by the government for the
safe deposit of the savings of the people and
to facilitate exchange.
"Land A true policy demands tiiat the
national and state legislation shall be such
as will ultimately enable every prudent
and industrious man to own a home , and
therefore the land should not be monopo
lized for speculative purposes. All agri
cultural and grazing lands now held by
railroad corporations in excess of their
actual needs should by lawful means be
reclaimed by the government and held for
actual settlers on jhem and private land
monopoly should be prevented by appropri
ate state and national legislation. We con
demn the frauds by which the land grants.
to the Pacific railroad companies have ,
through the connivance of the Interior de
partment , robbed multitudes of actual and
bona fide settlers of their homes and miners
of their claims , and we demand legislation
by congress which will enforce the exception
of mineral land from such grants after as
well as before patent.
"Direct Legislation We hold that all
governments derive their Just powers from
the consent of the governed and. in order
that the consent of the governed may be
clearly ascertained , we favor direct legis
lation under proper constitutional safe
guards so that a given percentage of the
citizens shall have the right of initiating
and preparing laws and compelling the
submission thereof and of all important
laws , whether proposed by national , state
or local legislatures , to a direct vote of the
perople for their approval or rejection. "
"Transportation being a means of ex
change and a public necessity , the govern
ment should own tnd operate the railroads
In the interest of the people to the end that
all men may be accorded the same treat
ment in transportation , and that the
tyranny and political power now exercised
by the great railroad corporations , which
re-suits in the impairment. If not the de
struction of the political right and
personal liberty of the citizen , may
be destroyed. Such ownership is to
be accomplikhed gradually , in a manner
consistent with sound public policy. The
Interest of the United States In the public
highways , built with public moneys , and the
proceeds of extensive grants of land known
as the Pacific railroads should never be
alienated , mortgaged or sold , but guarded
and protected for the general welfare as
provided by the laws organizing said Pacific
railroads. The foreclosure of the subsidiz
ing loans of the United States should follow
default In the payment thereof by the
debtor companies , and that at the
foreclosure sales of said roads the govern
ment shall purchase the same If It becomes
necessary , to protect its interests therein
or if the same can be purchased at a reason
able price ; and the government shall oper
ate * ld railroads as public highways for
the benefit of the whole people and not
in the Interest of the few , under suitable-
provisions for protection of life and
property , giving to all transportation
Interests e > qual privileges and e qual
rates for fares and rates We denounce the
present infamous schemf-n for refunding
hetc debts and demand that the Uws now
applicable thereto be exe-cuted and adminis
tered according to the-lr true Intent nnd
spirit- The telegraph , like the poMoffice-
system , being for the transmission of news
should be owned and operated by * io govern

ST. LOUIS , July 23 Senator Allen of Ne
braska was today Installed a * chairman of
the populist convention anil the Bryan sup
porters arc jubilant tonight. Tbry demon
strated after a d If Is Ion In the convention
that they had a majority of 1S . They per-
fictcd their permanent organisation , In
stalled Senator Allen , who was their candi
date as permanent crairman and took charge
of the machinery of the convention and the
committees while the silver convention at
Music hall was simply dawdling along , lis
tening to speeches , and transacting trivial
business In pursuance of the prearranged
program of remaining In session In the hope
of Influencing the action of the other con
vention In the direction of endorsing silver
and the democratic ticket.
There were two sessions of the populist
convention , a morning session of two hours
and an afternoon session of six. The latter
carried the convention Into the night .Both
were turbulent and noisy , but the tumult
was confined to the delegates on the floor ,
the galleries , as jesterday. being practically
empty. A bitter feeling manifested Itself
among the middle-of-the-road faction , which
found lent In several wild demonstrations
and counter demonstrations. The morning
session was a virtual blank so far as busi
ness was concerned. The tcport of the com
mittee on credentials was not ready and the
convention listened to a baritone from Okla
homa and a sweet singer from Arkansas
render tome campaign parodies on popular
ballads. There was also a dramatically ar
ranged middle-of-the-road demonstration
which'failed to arouse much enthusiasm ,
despite Its theatrical accessories Delegate
\Vashburne of Massachusetts attempted to
spring a resolution on the convention to
bind the delegates to abide by the result ,
whatever It might be. but he was howled ,
down and his resolution laid peacefully
away on the back shelf.
TRIED TOO MUCH.
It was at the afternoon session that tha
lug-of-war came which ceded in the disas
trous defeat of the straight-outs , who had
mustered a narrow majority to beat the
Bryan forces , early In the session , on the
determination of the Cook county contest.
Some of the Bryan men were clarmed and
could with difficulty be convinced that the
battle was not lost- This preliminary de
feat of , the Bryan forces was due , per
haps , to over-confidence in their strength.
They undertook to defeat the majority re
port of their cpmmlttee In the Chicago con
test. Only seven actual votes hung in the
balance. The fourteen Taylor delegates who
held the seats were Bryan men. The re
port of the committee decided to allay bit
ter feeling. If possible , by seating both FCU
of delegates end dividing the vote. The
contesting delegates were understood to be
for Debs. At the lait moment the Bryan
managers concluded to risk the dangerous
experiment of trying to force the rejection
of the majority report when some of their
followers refused to stand by them , and tha
result v.as defeat by a vote of 65 to 642.
It was then 6 o'clock , and the middle-of-
the-road leaders attempted to secure an ad
journment , hoping that the- effect of tha
victory could be turned to account before
the delegates reatsembled. But the Bryan
leaders prevented this strategic move. They
determined to push on. realizing fully the
disheartening effect of drawing out after
having had their outposts driven in.
GUEAT BRYAN VICTORY.
Some of the middle-of-the-road men , who
believed theJr victory was genuine , were
also eager to continue the fight. But the
premise to the ear was brok'en to the hope.
The report of the committee on permanent
organization was brought forward. The
majority report re-commended the selec
tion of Senator Allen , the ponderous states
man from Mr. Bryan's state. The anti-
Bryan m n pitted against the Nebraska
senator James K. Campion of Maine , a man
not particularly to the tsste of the middle-
of-the-road contingent , who entered him In
the lists Still , they rallied to his support
every vote at their command , and they
were defeated , 75S to f > 64 The following
list will ebovv the geographic location of
the Bryan strength , the states being classi
fied according to the majority of their rotes :
For Allen Colorado. Connecticut , Dela
ware. Florida. Idaho. Illinois. Indiana ,
Iowa. Kansas. Kentucky Maryland , Masra-
chusetts Montana , Nebraska. New Hamp
shire. New Jersey. New York , North Da-
Kota. Oregon. Pennsylvania. South Dakota ,
Tennessee. Utah. West Virginia , Virginia ,
Wisconsin New Mexico , District of Colum
bia and Ailiona.
For Campion Alabama , California.
Georgia. Louisiana. Michigan. Minnesota ,
Mississippi. OMo. Rhode Island , Texas , Ver
mont. Washington end Indian Territory.
The votes of North Carolina , Wyoming
and Oklahoma were equally divided.
The announcement of thU triumph was , .
the signal for an uproarious Bryan demon- 1
stratlon , which luted eighteen minutes. <
Senator Allen's speech as permanent
( helrman occupied over an hour. In many
respects it was bitter enough to suit tha
most radical When he finished the con
vention adjourned.
The situation remains practically un
changed. Although the Bo an forces are
In control and bis nomination or endorse
ment ffeins to be assured , the defeat of
Sew all still stares them In the face. 1C
Pewall cannot be nominated along with
Dry an the effort of the Bryan managers will
be directed toward securing an endorsement
of Bryan rather than a nomination. The
question of common electors is another
complication which terras to tingle tba
