IIOI.CO.UK AND Kl'SION.

Populist Convention Meet* at llirntIn^K, Neb. Hastings, Neb., Aug. 6.—The populist state convention met here Wednesday. Chairman Arthtur Edgerton of the state central committee called the convention to order at 11 o'clock, and prayer was offered by the Rev. Mr. Isham of Hastings. A. H. Weir of Lincoln was unanimously named as temporary chairman. Committees were named and a recess taken.

When the convention reassembled there was a general call for Senator Allen. He expressed his gratification that the populists of Nebraska could turn out such a representative body of men as he saw before him. The duty before them was momentous. They could not carry Nebraska alone. Mr. Bryan's party could not carry it alone. The senator then proceeded to give a new scheme that had been arranged by the leaders during the day. That was to leave the selection of the electoral ticket to the state central committee. He said that*the present state of affairs was incongruous, and if an understanding in regard to vice-president was reachcd by the uatlonal committee of tlie two parties the Nebraska committee could then act accordingly.

This proposal was received rather frigidly by the convention. The committee on permanent organization recommended .1. M. Gatlln of Saunders county for chairman and the temporary secretary for secretary. This was adopted and Mr. Galfm was escorted to the cliair. P. H. Barry of Lancaster moved that the matter of the selection of the electoral ticket be referred to the executive committee of the state central committee, to act in accordance with the sentiment of the platform to be thereafter adopted. He briefly urged the advisability of this action, and half a dozen delegates rose to oppose it. Porter of Merrick county offered an amendment to leave it to the entire state central committee. The motion, as amended, prevailed, the state central committee being given full power to act, and in case no agreement shall be reached by the national committee of the free-silver, democratic and populist parties with reference to Sewall and Watson, then the state central committee shall name the

Nebraska electors, at least five of whom shall be populists. Gov. Holcomb was nominated by acclamation, as was State Senator T. E. Harris of Nemaha county for lieutenant-governor. It was agreed that vacancies be left on the ticket to be filled by the silver democratic convention Aug. 25, and a committee of fourteen was appointed to confer with a democratic committee to agree upon a division of places on the state ticitet.

GOLD MKN HAPPY.

Many Going to Indianapolis—Another Convention Certain. Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 6.—The letters and telegrams received at Jlje headquarters of the national democratic gold standard movement here Indicate that the gathering Friday in this city will be much larger than the managers had anticipated. William D. Bynum, the member of the executive committee, who is in charge a? the preliminary work, said that he had received notice that twenty-eight states'have appointed members of the national committee. The east, Mr. Bynum says, is joining in the movement with more spirit than had been expected.

Committeeman Bynum says it is assured in advance of the meeting of the committee that a convention will be called. The correspondence of the executive committer, he says, will show the committeemen upon their arrival that the demand for a convention is universal. While there are a few gold standard democrats in the east who are inclined to oppose the movement, there is a widespread demand for the convention, even in that section. It is the understanding that Senator John M. Palpier of Illinois will be made temporary chairman of the committee. Representatives of several cities that would like to entertain the convention will be here to speak to the committee. Indianapolis, Detroit, Louisville, Minneapolis and Chicago will he. in the ce

CI,AIM FRAUD IN AL\II.\MA,

Gootlvrvn'N Friends I.ro A«k in i- at •loliiiHton'H Figured. Birmingham, Ala., Aug. (!.—Further returns from Monday's election show that Johnston and the democratic ticket have carried forty-one counties, while Goodwyn, populist, has tweniytwo. Three counties—Pike, Quitman and Tallapoosa—are close and in doubt. Johnston's official and estimated majorities amount to 48,873, while Goodwyn's majorities are 9,205, leaving Johnston's net majority at 39,668. The official canvass of the vote Saturday will, it is thought, not vary from these figures.

For the legislature later reports show that the house stands seventy-four democrats, a gain of ten members twenty populists and six doubtful. In the senate the democrats have elected thirteen members, the populists three and one is in doubt This gives the democrats over three-fourths of the legislature.

Opponents to Johnston claim the election was characterized by frauds more widespread than those of any previous elections, and that in the black belt it was conducted in defiance of law and contempt for the opposition, which the law required to be recognized by from three to ten representatives at every poll. They claim Goodwyn has beeen elected by from 16,000 to 18,000 majority in the white counties, and received about 40,000 votes In the black belt, but these 40,000 votea, they say, are counted for Johnston, giving him a majority of about 25,000.
