CHICAflO, Aug. 21. -The latest rcnortB received here Indicate that the national populist committee, which Is td meet In this city on the 2Sth Inst., may not be as harmonious ns wns predicted when the executive committee was In session here early In tho month. The meeting Is called for the purpose of selecting a candldato for the vice presidency. vnen .Mr. Towno declined the nomination of the populists It was generally supposed Mr. Stevenson would receive tho populist endorsement by general consent. The cor respondence which has tnkon placo among members of tho national committee of that parly since the executive committee meeting In this city ten days ago makes It plain that this result, whllo apparently still nroba- ble, will not be accomplished without n strtiggle. Indeed. It Is understood that many leaders of the party are strongly urging that the committee shall nominate nn Independent candidate. Those who take this position In clude a majority of tho officers of the na tional committee, among them being Chair man nutlcr nt,d Treasurer Washburn, who aro pronounced In their views. Vice Chair man Edmlsten Is also said to Incline to wards the opinion that wisdom demands that the populists have a candidate of their own In the field Secretary Edgcrton Is credited with being the only officer of the organiza tion who Is friendly to the endorsement of Mr. Stcvcnson'N candidacy. Mr. Stevenson's friends assert Edgerton Is working effectively in their behalf. The best canvass of the committee they hnve been able to make makes them feel hopeful of the result. Senator Butler and others who agree with him contend it would be suicidal for their party not to hnve u candidate of their own political faith In tho Held. They also say that unlets there Is n populist candidate for second place many populist votes will be driven from Mr. Urynn. Tho nutlonal committee has full power to act, in accordance with tho Instructions of the Sioux Kails convention, nnd It Is pre sumed Its decision, when made, will bo final.

The parade started fdr the park, whero the speechmaklng began at 2 o'clock. When tho spcukcrs reached tho park half an hour later they were greeted by tho biggest crowd that has ever gathered In the city. Rain then threatened to disar range the program. Mr. Stevenson was accompanied by Mr. Dockcry, David Ovcrmcycr and John At wood of Kansas and candidates on tho Missouri state ticket. Mr. Dockcry easily received the greatest sharo of applause as tho party ascended to the platform, but tho vlco presidential candidate, came In for no small sharo of attention, Tho clouds blow over and Mr. Stevenson was Introduced to deliver tho first speech. It was dovotcd almost entirely to the ques tion of Imperialism. Ho read from manu script and hl8 words wcro merely a rep etition of his Indianapolis speech.

The populists meet In stato convention on the same day und some talk of fusion of the two parties has been Indulged In. Populist leaders, however, express themselves against tho nomination of Domrlch and in case tho Kenosha man heads the ticket It Is likely that tho populists will nominate an In dependent ticket, with A. A. Worsley of Raclno nt Its head. Tho Kansas City platform will be endorsed nnd tho primary election law plank offered two yearfl ago will likely bo repented In tho resolutions.

It camo to my notice in a telegraphic ills patch to the Aeioclatod Press a few days ago from Indianapolis, which stated that W D. Krozer, national bank exnmlncr, had officially reported It to be a fact that there was a growing fear upon the part of de positors In the natlonul banks of that city of Uryan's election, and that many persons who bad money on deposit wero nsklng their bankers to Issue to them gold certificates It Is the same old way In which business disturbances begin when confldenco Is shaken.

There Is but one Issuo In this cnmnnlen. nnd that concerns the busi ness Interest -the pockctbook Issue. Whllo Iho people are threatened with nnother finan cial panic nnd gencrnl business depression, their thoughts nre not going to be concen trated on nny cry of Imperialism.

Now observe the readiness with which he abandons it after Its value as n vote pro- duccr Is gone. Eight thousand words nt In dianapolis and scarcely a reference to the cause for which he had promised to sacrince all else.

When Dr. Georgo Tlldon, anomcr oiu lino democrat, was nBked If ho thought Im perialism was the paramount Issue, ho promptly replied. "Of course not. imperialism wns bivcu prominence in tho Bryan platform for the, purpose of obscuring tho vital question of the cnmpnlgn, which Is whether or not the silver agitation ought to be revived."

The stnto fair is to bo held September 10 to II In clusive, nt Yankton. In the way of the tlmo-honored exhibi tion of farm products nnd manufactured articles and fast races this year's list Is truly a remarkable one. In tho premium list nearly $15,000 has been offered for mer itorious exhibits nnd every rent of It Is fully guaranteed by the citizens of Yank ton; In fact, a large rart of tho money Is now In local banks subject to Iho order of tho Stato Agricultural society. The South Dakota Agricultural college will bring down n full car of fruit, vegetables, grain and grasses, Hhowlng the result of tho ex perimental work at that Institution during tho year. Tho speed program provides over $2,000 for races nnd this In connection with tho fact that over $10,000 Is offered by tho South Dakota Grand Speed circuit, of which Yankton Is a member, for a month of almost continual racing will bring out nn exceptionally speedy string of horses.
