Chairman Allen Refused to Permit the Reading of a Telegram from the Presi dential Candidate to Democratic Chair man Jones Senator Butler Chairman of the Populist National Committee Sen ators Butler and Allen Presided Over the Populist Convention Sewall or Watson May Withdraw. . St. Louis, July 27: William Jennings Bryan, off Nebraska, who Was nominated by the Democratic national convention at Chicago a fortnight ago, was oh Saturday made the standard bearer of the Populist party by. a vote of 1,043 to 321. The Dem ocratic candidate was nominated in the face of his own protest in the shape of a a telegram directing the withdrawal of his -name, sent to Senator Jones after Sewall, his running mate, had been ditched for the vice presidential nomination and Thomas E. Watson, of Georgia, had been named for second place on the ticket. It was also made in the teeth of ah opposi tion so bitter that after the convention ad journed some of the radicals held a "rump" Convention. The last session of the convention which lasted from 90 in the morning until al most 5 o'clock in the afternoon, was marked by scenes of turbulence and noisy excitement which several times bordered on actual riot, and which almost precipi tated personal collisions; One fist fight did occur, a Rhode Island delegate was ejected and a West Virginia delegate, in flamed by the action of the convention, walked sullenly out of the hall. The storm center, as on. the three previous days, was in the Texas delegation. ; : But the really dramatic features of this wild session were enacted behind the scenes. Humors of what was going on in Si. BS THOMAS E. WATSON, the wings reached the delegates, but they knew nothing definitely, and to the very end a message from Mr. Bryan, which might have changed the result, was kept from their ears. General. Weaver, of Iowa, the Populist candidate for president '.in, 1S92, placed Bryan in nomination, ant General Field, of Virginia, who was his' running mate, moved to! 'make the nomination unani mous. Chairman Allen held the motion was in order, and that until that motion 'was decided the call of states for nomina tions, which was the order of the conven tion, could not proceed. The ruling almost precipitated a riot, and there would probably have been seri ous trouble had not the Bryan leaders wisely concluded to abandon this pro gram. But in doing so they opened the flood gates, and for six hours the conven tion was deluged with oratory. Almost every state and territory had its inning on the platform. Most of the speakers sec onded Bryan's nomination. About fifty seconding ispeeches were, made, and some of them wpre both eloquent and brilliant. When the roll call was completed it was found that Bryan had 1,04:2 out of the 1,400 votes in the convention. Frank S. Norton, of Chicago; was the only other candidate. Ignatius. Donnelly, of Minnesota, and General Coxey, of industrial army fame, were nominated, but their names were withdrawn. Norton ' received. 321 .. votes, Eugene V. Debs 10 and Donnelly 1. The convention was hastily adjourned after Bryan had been; declaredthe nomi nee, and the radicals in the Texas. Arkan sas, California. Illinois and Maine delega tions proceeded to organize their ,:rump" convention. ' . As to the future all is problematical. Whether a fusion can bo arranged, or. upon what basis, is of course speculated upon. Whether Bryan will decline the nomination js canvassed. The shrewdest of the political observers, and those who are most anxious for a union of the silver forces, can see this result only in the with drawal of one of the vice presidential can didates. There is talk of Sewall' s volun- Bryan and Senator Jones have taken this is not considered probable. A rumo? got out yesterday to the effect that the Populists would withdraw Wat sou, their candidate for vice president, if Sewall did not do so. A representative of the Associated' Press called on Senator Marion . C Butler, chairman of the na tional committee, and asked him as to the truth of the statement. "This will not be done," he replied. "Mr." SewaJl is he one man in the United States who .Sffe:'.;'. now has it in his power to completely unify the silver forces and make victory over the geld combine absolutely certain;" THE DUAL CONVENTIONS. Senators Butler and Allen Preside Over the Populist Convention. St. Louis, July . 23. The Populist and silver conventions' were launched yester day, but neither made much . headway. The program of the silver convention was all arranged in advance. It included simply the election of William P. St. John, the New York banker, as permana nent chairman, the adoption of a 16 to 1 platform, and the nomination of Bryan and Sewall; but those in charge of it :'i fee 'vi; , . . m; I SKETCH OF THOMAS E. WATSON. EEXATOB ALLES. i j deemed it good policy to go slowly, in the belief that they might, by remaining! in session, be able to exercise ah influence in shaping things in the Populist conven tion. To this end they appointed a com mittee of seven, headed by Judge Scott, of California, to meet with a similar com mittee from, the Popxilists for the purpose: of reaching a common plan of action, j . The Populist convention was called to order by Chairman Taubeneck, of 'the na tional committee, at 10:30, but little work was accomplished, .the day session lasting only an hour and a half, and the night session being prevented by lack of light, a storm having destroyed the electric wires leading to the convention ' hall. After waiting in the dark for over an hour the convention adjourned, and in twenty minutes afterward the light was, turned on, repairs having been made. The only result of the day's work was the election of Marion Butler, the young South Caro lina orator, for temporary chairman, his election being opposed by the straigh touts when it became known that Butler fav ored Bryan for the presidential nominee,, with a southern man for vice president. St. Louis, July 2b Yesterday's ses sions of the Populist convention were ex tremely gratifying to the supporters of Bryan, and the men who favor a straight out Populist ticket were correspondingly depressed. This was because of the elec tion of Senator Allen, of Nebraska, as per manent chairman of the convention and the signal defeat of the straightout, or "middle of the road" candidate, James E. Campion, of Maine, by a vote of 758 to 504. There was a wild demonstration by, the Bryan adherents when the result was an nounced, Mr. Allen's speech strongly urged th.3 nomination of Bryan and Sew all as the best means of securing victory for Populist principles. The only other .business transacted at the day's sessions was the appointment of the usual com mittees.. ".. St. Xfouis, July 2--The delegates to the Populist convention yesterday adopted the platform of principles reported by the ma jority of the resolutions committee,, of which General James B. Weaver was chairman.. Two minority reports, one by "General" Jacob S. Coxey of Ohio,, and another by a Texas delegate, was voted down. Then the convention voted to nom inate a man for vice president before pro ceeding With the presidential nomination. The Bryan men pleaded against this un heard of proceedings but the "middie tf the road" men carried their point, and the delegates spent over . five hours' of the night session in nominating speeches: Congressman Skinner of North Carolina, Hom Thomas E. Watson of Georgia, Ar thur Sewall of Maine, Mann Page of Vir ginia, Mimms of Tennessee and Burkitt of Mississippi were named, and Watson was chosen on the first ballot.

Mr. Watson was a hiember of the Georgia legislature in 1832 and 1SS3; was a Democratic elector for the state at largo in 18SS, and besides the practice of law has been and still is largely interesting in carding. He was elected to the Fifty second congress as a Democrat. Mr. Watson served but one term in con gress,; being succeeded in the Fifty-third by James C. C. Black; who was elected as a Democrat, receiving 17,772 against 12,383 votes received by Mr. Watson, who ran as the candidate f the People" s; party.

We recognize that through the connivance f the money power our liber ties have been basely surrendered by our pub lic servants to corporate monopolies. The in fluence of European .moneychangers has been more potent in shaping legislation than the voice of the American people. Executive power and patronage have been used to corrupt our legislatures and defeat the will! of the people, and plutocracy ba3 been enthrone-.! upon the ruinfj )f . democracy.
