TO KEEP POPULISTS IN LINE. Why Towne Was Nominated for the Vice Presidency. WASHINETON, May 16.—Senator But- ler, chalrman of the National Committee of the People’s party, was asked to-day if it were true, as has been reported, that both Mr. Bryan and Mr. Towne had ex- pressed a preference that the People's party national convention should not nominate a Vice Presidential candidate. He replied: “I have been told that it Is true, but it was the judgment of the convention that the best way to elect both of them was to nominate.” It must be remembered that neither Mr. Bryan nor Mr. Towne is in- timately acquainted with the present sit- uation as to the Populist vote of the coun- try. Mr. Bryan could not be elected by disbanding or lpgelflng to disband the organization of the People’s party. To have done so would have lost him ten Populist votes for every gold Democratic vote that he would have won back to him. In short, the conventionsdid the thing that was necessary to be done to insure the election of Mr. Bryan.” - WYOMING'S DELEGATES. Men Who Will Represent the State at the Republican Convention.
