POPULIST CONVENTION OPENS AT ST. LOUIS.

The Delegate* Listen to the Adtfrust of Senator Itutler, a Kulogy of the People's Part*, nnd Take a Keces* Until 8 O'clock lu the Kveirinc.

St. Louis, Mo., July 23.—The "mid-dle-of-the-road" populists did not propose a candidate for temporary chairman, and Senator Butler, the choice ni the national committee, assumed the duties of that office without oppostion.

When Chairman Taubeneck at 12:20

o'clock called the convention to order there were less than 500 persons in the broad galleries. A score of women sat in the body of the convention, some of them delegates, some alternates and vFoine wearing: neither badge. Mrs. Mary sv.'E. Lease occupied a chair on the platform. The big men of the party all V'canie in about the time Chairman ..Taubeneck stepped forward to call the convention to order.

After the Rev. R. L. Smith of St. Louis had made the opening prayer Chairman Taubeneck introduced Gov. Stone to make the address of welcome, lie was followed by Ignatius Don nelly, who was down for a response. He made a "middle-of-the-road" speech (hat stirred the radicals to their depths. He appealed to them to stand firm, so that all the "dynamite in God's laborainrj" could not tear the party asunder and predicted that if the people's pariv failed ihe cause of humanity would go down with it.

The Illinois delegation, led by Chalrman Maxwell of the state committee, ..^cheered loudly as Mr. Butler took his place as temporary chairman, but the rest of the delegates remained impassive.

Mr. Butler bc-gan by telling that the people's party was the hope of the Jtintry. lie did not say anything v. hieh could be construed as a good word for William J. Bryan until he was •.ell along in his speech, and then he inade a plea for the democratic nominee. He declared against, sectional •feeling, and said so long as ii was kept alive so long would the advancement of the common people be retarded.

He claimed the two great parties had oucceeded only in bringing our glorious country to the verge of bank-

ruptcy. The transportation question, he said, stands side by side with the currency question. The Standard Oil trust could not exist today but for its league with the transportation companies. He went on: "If the people's party went out of existence tomorrow the democratic party would immediately repudiate its platform, and Bryan would stand JIO show of uomina'-ian

Emulsion

Is the standard emulsion the world over. There is not a man, woman or child who is run down or emaciated or has weak lungs that Scott's Emulsion will not benefit. When you ask for it you will likely "be told by the druggist that he has an emulsion just as good." It is not true. No emulsion is as good.

Scott's Emulsion has benefited millions of people. Ask your druggist if he can refer you to a single case that has been helped by the unknown emulsion he sells, and if so, we will send you a book giving thousands of cases. You want the standard not something that nobody knows anything about.

four years hence." Senator Butler claimed the democratic platform was so framed as to constitute an attempt to st?al the people's party. In an impassioned rannner the speaker declared: "I hope this convention will not burn itself into a democratic annex." (Loud applause.)

He concluded his speech as follows: "My iriends. tiieie K-I not a man in the people's party that loves it more and has more cause to be revenged against the old parties than I. There is danger of those patriotic enough to leave the old parties becoming prejudiced to su?h an extent as to be controlled by our feelings instead of our hearts and reason. I believe that this convention is.going to do what is wisest. 1 believe it is going to sfand together. It i.s not going to split. How can it? We split both of the old parties and we split them on a principle. We cannot split, because we all stand for the same principles. And of course a party that has raised up a great principle and split two old parties is not going to t« foolish enough to allow itself 10 split on nittlicd and detail. We will stand together and wp will go home from here a united band of brothers. We will strip our coats for the fray and see the minions of organized capital and gold monopoly stricken down in this country. We will do more than that. We will show you that this young giant, the people's party, comes out of that campaign stronger than it went into it. Mark you, the old parties will make mistakes iu the future as they have in the past. This party is going to etand ready to hit them and take their hour-st men at overy mistalu, they make. TVe are "willing to approve everything right they do, and we will condemn them when they blunder, or when they betray us as they have in the past. Remember that you are the people's party men: that you have accomplished more in four years than the old parties have accomplished iu a hundred. Remember that if we do our duty at this hour the time is not far distant when we will be the majority party in America."

The roll of states was then called on the appointment of members to the committee on credentials, resolutions, permanent organization and rules. A separate roll call was taken on onch committee, and as soon as the work was finished a motion was made and carried to take a recess until S o'clock.

This took the "middle of the road" men by surprise, and a howl arose from Texas. A yian dashed to the platform and yelled at the top of his voice that there would be a caucus of the "middle of the road" people then and there.

Cclone Davis o! Texas was chosen chaiiman of the "middle of the road" forces, but lie declined to serve, and the honor was conferred upon "Stump" Ashby of the same state. Mr. Ashby at once tried to get some semblance of order, and in doing this made a vast amount of work for Sergeant-at-Arms McDowell. The "middle of the roadpeople pulled up the state standards and formed a little convention all by themselves—in the middle of the hali. There were over 500 men in that bod v. but it was impossible to tell how many of the crowd were "middle of the roadmen.

After several enthusiastic anti-Brvan speeches had been made, the roll" of states was called to elect members for a committee on organization. Twentythree states responded, some of them speaking authoritatively for the entire delegation, but the majority speaking simply for individual delegates.

After the committee on organization hod been named, it was sent down to the Texas headquarters in the Southern hotel to hold a meeting for the purpose of selecting a man who will be the choice of the "middle of the road" men for permanent chairman. The first test vote which will indicate the strength of the Bryan and antiBryan men will probably come up on the selection of the permanent chairman. Bryan men are talking of naming Gen. Weaver for this position.

The "middle of the road" men took possession of the convention at fi:M1 o'clock. Speech after speech was made, all anti-Brvan, and each one more belligerent than the preceding one. But a heavy thunderstorm came up and the interior of the building became as dark as a closet. The con\ention proper had adjourned until S clock, so that the "middle of the road" men had until that hour to perfect their organization and settle upon a candidate for permanent chairman, but the committee on organization did not report, the darkness became more and more intense and then the band started up. In intense confusion the meeting broke up, the electric lights having been turned off and the hall left in complete darkness. When 8 o'clock came the hall still was without light, and the "middle of the road" men were compelled to stop speaking from sheer exhaustion and lack of speakers. Not an officer of the convention had come to the hall, and there was nothing for the middle of the road" people to do but hold their position and await results. At 8:45 Chairman Butler appeared, called the convention to order and told the delegates that an accident to the electric light wiFe made it impossible to hold a night session. National Chairman Taubeneck moved that the convention, adjourn until 10 o'clock In the morning, and it was carried. Then the crowd felt its way out of the hall, and the fight was transferred to the hotels. Just before the convention adjourned word was passed around among the "middle of the road" men that the committee on organization had agreed upon Ignatfcis Donnelly for the "middle of the road" candidate for permanent chairman.

FOB A JOINT ELECTORAL TICKET

Proposition da to Unit* tha Silver Wore— st tba Polls.

St. Louis, Mo„ July 23.—The follow­

ing was circulated among the delegates last night: "Georgia's proposition for uniting I the silver forces and saving the people's party: "Resolved, That it is the sense of this convention that we nominate a straight populist ticket for president and vice-president upon the platform adopted by this convention. "Resolved, That we invite the democrats in each state to join,us in putting out a joint electoral ticket, each party to be represented on this ticket according to its voting strength as shown at the last election held in the respective states. After the ele£Vn, if the ('wmocrats shall have cast more votes than the populists, let the combined electoral ticket be cast for William J. Bryan for president and for our presidential nominee for vicepresident. If, on the other hand, the populists shall have cast more votes than the democrats, then let the combined electoral vote be cast for our presidential nominee for president and the democratic presidential nominee for vice-president. The vote to be determined by votes cast for congressmen. "Resolved, further, That should the democrats reject these patriotic overtures made to secure the union of the silver forces we use our best endeavors and all honorable means to elect our national ticket., and let the odium of the defeat of the silver cause rest upon the democrats, where it then properly belongs."

The Virginia delegation adopted a resolution favoring the nomination of Bryan upon the platform which tK convention shall adopt, without Se-un-.nuuig any terms in respect to patronage. The resolution was carried by a vote of 39 to 12.

Malno Man Id Chosen.

St. Louis, Mo., July 28— The "mid-dle-of-the-road" men, through their steering committee, took action which will probably have a very important effect

011

the populist convention. Early

,in the evening they selected Ignatius Donnelly for their candidate as permanent chairman, and sent a committee to notify him of his selection.

Mr. Donnelly accepted. Later the steering committee held another meeting and selected J. E. Campion of Maine as its candidate for permanent chairman.

The reasons given for substituting Mr. Campion are that the Minnesota delegation and the delegations which the steering committee represented made a great protest asaln?t Mr. Donnelly's selection, many declaring they would not vote for him. It was also stated by members of the committee that. Mr. Donnelly was a possible candidate for president and ought not to be presented for permanent chairman.

IN THE DEEP SEA.

llobert Louis Stevennon Tails, of the Life of the Depths. I read the other day something that I thought would interest so great a sea-bather as yourself, wrote Robert Louis Stevenson in St. Nicholas. You know that the fishes that we see and catch go only a certain way down into the sea. Below a certain depth there itno life at all. The water is as empty as the air is above a certain height. Even the shells of dead fishes that come down there are crushed Into nothing by the huge weight of the water. Lower still, in the places where the sea is profoundly deep, it appears that life begins again. People fish up in dredging buckets loose rags and tatters of creatures that hang together all right down there, with the great weight holding them in one, but come all to pieces as they are hauled up. Just what they look like, just what they do or feed upon, we shall never find out. Only that we have eome flimsy fellow creatures down in the very bottom of the deep seas, and cannot get them up except in tatters. Itmust be pretty dark where they live and there are no plants or weeds, and no fish come down there or drowned sailors either, from the upper parts, because these are all mashed to pieces by the great weight long before they get BO far or else come to a place where perhaps they float. But I dare say a cannon sometimes comes careering solemnly down and circling about like a dead leaf or thistledown, and then the ragged fellows go and play about the cannon and tell themselves all kinds of stories about the fish higher up and their iron houses, and perhaps go inside and sleep, and perhaps dream of !t all like their betters. Of course, you know a cannon down there would be quite light. Even in shallow water, where men go down with a diving dress, they grow so light that they have to hang weights about their necks and have their boots loaded with twenty pounds of lead, as I know to my sorrow. And with all this and the helmet, which is heavy enough of itself to any one up here in the thin air, they are carried about like gossamers, and have to take every kind of care not to be upset and stood upon their heads. I went down once in the dress, and speak from experience. But if we could get down for a moment near where the fishes are, we should be in a tight place. Suppose the water not to crush us (which it would), we should pitch about In every kind of direction every step we would take, we should pitch about in oui •even-league boots and we should keep flying head over heels and top over bottom, like the liveliest clowns in the world.
