Bryan Acts as Hearst’s Rep- resentative in Illinois Quarrel. ST. LOUIS, July 4—The national committee met at 10 o’clock to take up the contests for temporary seats in | the convention. The main fight was | in the Illinois case, which included the seats of John Hopkins and Ben T. Cable, delegates at large, and two dele- gates from each of the thirteen other districts. William J. Bryan, who has made the | fight of the Illinois contestants one of his own, was one of the first to enter the committee room, having obtained the proxy of James C. Dahlman, .na- tional committeeman from Nebraska. John P. Hopkins was there to fight for his own seat, holding a proxy which he had obtained from Thomas Gahan, the committeeman from lilinois. The Harrison and Hearst factions scored the first success before the com- mittee. As soon as the Illinois fight | was taken up it was agreed by both | sides that the better way to settl® the | dispute was to permit it to rest with | & sub-committee, which should report {to the national committee later. The | Important issue then came on the man- ner of the appointment of the sub- committee. Chairman James K. Jones of the national committee s favorably inclined to the Harrison and Hearst | people, ard they naturally desired to have him appoint the committee. John P. Hopkins made a vigorous argument in favor of the appointment of the | sub-committee by votes of the national | committee. The first test of strength |came on the vote, and the national committee voted in favor of the Harri- | son and Hearst plan of selection by 25 |to 16. } SUB-COMMITTEES NAMED. | The committee reconvened at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and Chairman Jones announced the sub-committees to listen to the evidence in the contests as follows: 1llinois—William J. Stone, Missouri (chairman); Adair Wilson, Colorado: | T. B. O'Brien, Minnesota; Norman E. | Mack, New York; John T. McGraw, | West Virginia. Ohio—J. B. Breathitt, Arizona (chair- | man); W. B. Gourley, New Jersey; R. M. Johnston (Texas); G F. Williams, | Massachusetts; J. T. Ellison, Virginia. | Maine—J. B. Eaton, North Dakota | (chairman); Henry Lehman, Louisiana | (proxy): Marion Taylor, South Dakota; J. R. Jacobs, Oklahoma; J. M. Hurlbut, Idaho. South Dakota—M. F. Tarpey, Cali- fornia (chairman);: M. A. Milne, Ore- gon; T. L. Norris, New Hampshire; W. F. Sheehan, New York (proxy); Wal- lace McLaurin (proxy), Mississippi. | Pennsylvania—James M. Head, Ten- | nessee (chairman); R. R.

H. Murphy, Wash- |ington; B. P. Raney, Florida; D. H. Peery, Utah, proxy. Indiana—B. R. Tillman, South Caro- lina, proxy, chairman; E. L. Johnson, Ohio, proxy; Josephus Daniels, North | Carolina; J. P. Clark, Arkansas; J. M. Green, Rhode Island. New Jersey—Henry D. Clayton, Ala- bama, chairma J. R. Ryan, Nevada; J. G. Johnson, Kansas; Joseph Lutey, Vermont; J. T. Osborne, Wyoming. The sub-committees went into ses- | sion immediately following the adjourn- ment of the national committee. The committee will meet again to-morrow at 10 o'clock, when the sub-committees will report. HEARST CONTESTS FAIL. The sub-committee which heard the evidence in the contests in the First, Becond, Sixth and Eighth New Jersey districts adjourned without action. The South Dakota contest flattened out and the regular delegate was not disturbed. A long and bitter fight was ‘waged before the sub-committee that heard the contest in the Twelfth Ohio Dis- trict, where C. D. Saviers and John C. L. Pugh, two Hearst men, are seeking to unseat James Ross and C. F. Gil- liam. Allan Thurman made two speeches for Ross and Gilliam and John | J. Lentz spoke twice for the contest- ants. Saviers, Ross and Pugh also | spoke in their own behalf. Gilliam de- | clined, saying that it was not neces- | sary for him to speak. It Is claimed by | the contestants that they were not given sufficient time prior to the meet- ing of the committee to certify all of their delegates and were therefore de- | prived of 176 votes. The sub-committee decided to report in favor of the con- testees, Ross and Gilliam. 7 In the contested case in the Tenth Indiana District, which was referred to the sub-committee of which Senator Tillman was chairman, it was decided after both sides had been heard that the case was not one in which the na- tional committee had jurisdiction, the regular delegates having been duly de- clared elected by the Indiana Demo- cratic State Convention. The fight in this district was between the Hearst and the Parker factions. The result of the decision of the sub-committee is that the Parker delegates, Daniel Simms and Martin Kruger, will be | recommended to the national commit- | tee by the sub-committee as the regu- | 1ar delegates. VICTORY FOR HOPKINS. After an almost continuous session of nine hours the sub-committee, to | which was submitted the evidence in jin the alley behind the Coliseum. the fourteen contests in the State of | Illinois, went into executive session at | midnight with every indication that its | | verdict would be a victory for Hop- | |kins and his faction. The evidence in_each of the district cases related to the convention at Springfield, where Chaijrman Frank P. Quinn was accused of riding roughshod over the rights of two-thirds of the delegates and of arbitrary and illegal substitution by the secretary of the “convention of names of men who were not elected or even submitted to State caucuses as delegates to the national convention. The discussion was at times very warm. ——— Every candidate for a back town- ship office imagines the country will 80 to the dogs if he isn't elected, BT AR TSI A O LIS Wi ‘Wonder of Convention City Crowd. Californians Wilt TUnder the Inquiring Stares ~of Listeners. BY FREDERIC W. BISHOP. Staft Correspondent of The Call. HEADQUARTERS CALIFORNIA DELEGATION, ST. LOUIS, July 4.— “Boom, boom, boom! First, firsi, first! California, California! Hearst, Hearst, Hearst!” ] It was a sad spectacle when Tarpey’s obedient adherents of. the California delegation turned the foregoing loose in the corridors of the Jefferson Hotel this evening. They had been practicing this thrilling yell all the afternoon, out Dele- gate Carmichael, author of the battle cry, walved the baton, while the root- ers struggled to memorize the compli- cated lie and master the details of time and tune. Finally the rooters were declared a perfectly trained or- ganization. Carmichael was congratu- lated for his genius. All spoke gen- erously and feelingly regarding the necessity of hurling such deadly muni- tion into the camp of the enemy, but it was agreed that the welfare of the nation demanded its use. So the root: stripped of dignity but clothed wifh' hope, marched into the Jefferson Hotel. Delegate Car- michael raised his hand, and Califor- nia’s campaign yell rang through the cerridors. The multftude gathered around and gazed curiously upon these men that had shattered the quiet, but no one cheered. The rooters looked discouraged, but tried it again. The curfous moved in a little closer. Panic began to show in the faces of the root- ers, but Leader Carmichael rallied them and they re-formed for their third assault. DEATH THROE.S OF A YELL. “Boom! First! California! Hearst!"” Scared by the yawns of indifference and stares askance the ranks.of the rooters broke up. They fled and Cali- fornia's yell had perished. It is a regrettable affair, for its liter- ary merit must be admitted. There is no word in the language that rhymes better with Hearst than “first.” True, its meaning as used in the line is ob- scure, but this may be attributed to poetic license. Neither Delmas nor Tarpey aided the rooters. They were congratulated for their exercise of self- restraint. It hardly probable that Delmas’ desire to save his voice was alone responsible for his failure to get in on this wild demonstration. Thomas B. O'Brien, who is known by every politician in California and once made a hard fight in San Fran- cisco for election as Congressman, ar- rived at the Jefferson in flme to be present at the birth and death of the “Boom-first-Hearst” war cry. For the rest of the evening he remained around the California headquarters, telling his old acquaintances of his pursuit of fortune in the mines near Butte City, Mont. Though he is a Re- publican, Tom O'Brien never over- looks an opportunity to take a hand in politics. This is what he had to sa “The spectacle of seeing old faces and again conversing with Califor- nians in the torrid, turbulent political whirlpool of St. Louis is singularly strange. Every Californian is most anxious to see the end of this unpre- cedented political riddle. The Parker men are boasting that they have the cinch upon the New Yorker's nomina- tion, but in conversation with M. F. Tarpey a little while ago he felt san- guine that the Wall-street nominee was impossible. William F. Sheehan and Norman E. Mack, two of Parker's most astute manipulators, feel that the doors are closed against all outsiders. As I was originally from Buffalo, where I had been intimately ac- quainted with both of these gentlemen, they were easy of access and spoke without restraint. TAMMANY'S KNIFE IS OUT. “I saw William J. Connors last even- ing at the Planters, and, being an old friend of many years’ acquaintance, he freely expressed himself on the politi- cal situation. Connors is the pro- prietor of two of the Democratic dai- lies of Buffalo and trains with the Tam- many people. He boldly asserted that Parker would get the Tammany sti- letto and emphasized by exclaiming that as a gambler he had $50,000 to bet, if Cleveland were nominated, that he would be elected.” A meeting of the California delega- tion was called for 9 o'clock this even- ing by Chairman Tarpey, but a post- ponement® was ordered that the dele- gates that are expected to arrive in the morning may participate in the de- liberations. J. Harvey McCarthy, Mar- tin C. Marsh and Martin F. Betouski of Los Angeles and W. E. Shepherd of Ventura are still absent. Out of cour- tesy to them the delegation will take no formal action regarding appoint- ments until they are on the scene, al- though all of the committeemen have been selected, as heretofore announced. ‘W. J. McGee and Louis H. Mooser, the McNab wing of the delegation, were at headquarters to-night, and although they are not pleased with the situation they are not saying much out loud. “We have too much political -sense to expect anything from the people that control this delegation,” sald McGee to-night, “but we have the satisfaction of knowing that we represent the best wing of the Democracy of California. ‘We stood with McNab because he rep- resents the respectable element of the party. Our eclipse here is only tem- porary. At home our end runs things.” TARPEY EXPRESSES REGRET. Tarpéy says he regrets very much that any friction should exist among the delegates. The conduct of McGee and Mooser has been most exemplary, he says. The exemplary conduct of Mc- Gee and Mooser is not winning them any prizes, however. Tarpey and Al Murphy are very busy in their efforts to add votes to the Hearst roll. It is slim picking for them, but if they are discouraged they don’t say so. They admit, however, that their acquisitions have not been by delega- tions. California has been praised much and “cussed”” more to-night.

SPRINGFIELD, Il., July 4—When the Populist National Convention was called to order thls afternoon there were fewer than 200 delegates in the hall, some 600 delegates failing to ap- pear. There were not more than sev- enty-five citizens present besides the delegates. Mayor Devereaux, who was scheduled to extend a word of wel- come, did not attend, nor did he send a representative or an explanation of his absence. There were hundreds of empty seats in the State Arsénal. Only twenty-three States were represented in the convention. The convention was called to order by Vice Chairman J. H. Edmiston of Nebraska and the call for the conven- tion was read by Jo A. Parker of Ken- tucky, national chairman. Charles A. de France of Nebraska was made tem- porary secretary. After the temporary organization had been perfected the convention lis- tened to addresses by Allen of Nebras- ka and Rev. Mr. Nelson of St. Louis. It was 5 o'clock before the speechmak- ing was over. The following were made members of the committee on resolutions: At large—J. H. Edmiston, Nebraska, chairman; Frank W. Owers, Colorado; Dr. 8. D. Burdick, Indian Territory; E. W. Ridgley, Kansas; William Clancy, Montana, and John 8. Allen, Oklahoma. The committee did not meet until late to-night. To-morrow nominations will be made. Only three men are mentioned now in connection with the nomination for the Presidency—W. V. Allen of Ne- braska, Samuel Williamsof Indiana and Thomas E. Watson. Allen refused to enter into a scramble for the nomina- tion and to-night .intimated that he would not accept the honor if there was going te be any contest over it. He wants the nomination to come to him unanimously. Watson is in a sim- flar state of feeling and he wrote a letter, it is said, tosthe effect that he did not want to be the standard bearer for the Popullsts this year. Williams of Indiana is leaving noth- ing undone to capture the nomination and his friends say that if he cannot get first place he is willing to take second. While the platform is not completed, some of the, more prominent men have made an outline of it. It is sald that former Senator Allen will have more to say about the platform than any other person. The sentiment favors the adoption of the Omaha platform of 1892, with planks for postal savings and initiative and referendum. —_——————————— EXEMPTS GREET GUESTS. They Hold a Reunion in Their Old ‘Home. The Exempt Fire Company of this city celebrated the Fourth and inci- dentally the anniversary of the rais- ing the American flag on Portsmouth square, July 9, 1846, by a reunion yes- terday in the old engine-house on Brenham place. It was an informal affair. A num- ber of the old time friends of the vet- erans of the volunteer department strolled in and were received with that cordiality that characterized the as- sociation in its palmiest days. Re- freshments were served and all who called were invited to partake of the hospitality of the old boys. Among the visitors was Mrs. Ma- son Wilson, the daughter of John W. Kissling, who was one of the earliest shipmasters in San Francisco Bay. She exhibited to the assembled Ex- empts and their guests a historic document. This was the written de- mand that was served July 9, 1846, after the raising of the Stars and Stripes, on Senor Don Francisco San- chez, commander of the Mexican forces at Yerba Buena, now San Fran- cisco, calling upon him to surrender to the American forces. It was signed by John B. Montgomery, commander United States sloop-of-war Ports- mouth. After reciting the fact of the war between the United States and Mexico, it has the following pointed sentence: “I have seized Yerba Bue- na, raised the American flag and have men enough to hold the place.” This was read and the reading was loudly applauded. Then there were cheers for the commodore who raised the flag at Yerba Buena. It was announced that a close ex- amination had been made of the rec- ords with the result that out of the 1290 who were at one time members of the company only 214 are living, and that during the year ending June 30 the following members were sum- moned and answered the last roll call: Peter B. Quinlan, Thomas Brady, Dennis Jordan, Samuel Rainey, Simon Fitzpatrick, Louis Levy, William Cros- by, D. D. McClellan, William G. Bad- ger, Frank Atkinson, Frederick Brown, Timothy F. Harden and Thomgs O'Neil. ident Henry D. Hudson was the master of ceremonies and during the afternoon called upon ex-Judge Rob- ert Ferrrl and E. C. Stock to address the assemblage. this evening and the Democratic hosts invited to partake of the fruits and wines brought along for distribution. In fifteen minutes the lobby of the Jefferson Hotel was closed to naviga- tion. Apricot and peach stones were piled’ an inch deep over the marble floor and the crowd slid and skated and tripped on the slimy pits. This did not stop the run on the fruit counter, how- ever, and walking in the hotel became more dangerous . with each passing hour. ’ The headquarters have been beauti- fully decorated and arranged under the direction of C. F. Wyer, Commission- er to the World's Fair from Fresno, and W. N. Harris, who represents Kings County and the Laguna de Tache rancho at the exposition. Dried fruits and raisins, artistically placed, were brought in from the California display in the Agricultural building and well arranged. It is a display. 1. putitul | l HEARST'S STRENGTH WANES AND GORMAN QUITS Foes of Parker Still Unable to Unite Upon a © Candidate. Second Ballot Will Greatly Increase the New York Man’s Strength. ST. LOUIS, July 4—“Parker on the second ballot, pérhaps on the first.” That is to-night the claim of the men who are in charge of the political af- fairs of the New York candidate. All | day long the Parker opponents have | tried to perfect a programme which would prolong the balloting and af- ford an opportunity to name unuther, candidate, but apparently they have not succeeded. Many combinations | have been suggested, but so far they( seem to have proved incapable of being assembled into a shape sufficiently sub- | stantial to show the independent and | uninstructed delegates how another | candidate could be named. Men who are supposed to hold the balance of | power have asked the Parker oppo- nents to say what would be done after Parker has been put out of the race, ' but to-night they say they have re- | ceived no satisfactory answer. Gorman, Gray and Cleveland have been suggested, but no one is prepared to give assurances that either could re- ceive the nomination. The mention of Cleveland ‘has a tendency in scme quarters to solidify the Parker strength, for many delegates say they do not want to take even the slightest chance of allowing Cleveland a fourth nomination. While there is a very friendly feeling for Gorman among the Southern dele- gates, including those who are under | instructions or bound by the unit rule’ to vote for Parker, yet the predomi- | nant expression from this element is that the effort now making in behalf of the Maryland Senator is too late. They also point to the fact that when delegates were being chosen Gorman gave no sign that he desired the nom- ination. It is too much to expect, they say, that delegates who were chosen as Parker men, whether under instruc- tions or not, will desert him now as long as there is a possibility of secur- ing his nomination. The opposition to Judge Parker, in its effort to tighten the lines and make sure of holding the delegations now counted as opposed to him, have brought out two new candidates in the persons of former Governor Pattison of Pennsylvania and General Miles. ! The opposition leaders appreciate to | the utmost the difficulty of preventing a stampede to Parker, should his lead become pronouncedly manifest, but they are counting upon doing this by appealing to the local pride of the dif- ferent “favorite son” delegations to hold on as long as possible. No announcement was given out from | Senator Gorman to-night, and Vandi- ver, who had said early in the day that he expected a communication, said to- night that he had received none. Gar- man’s position as a conditional candi- date, however, has become so well known that no formal statement from him is necessary. His friends still ex- pect to press his candidacy if Parker falls of success, and In the meantime they will do all they can to bring about such a situation. The wisdom of casting the votes known to be for Gorman for other can- | didates has been canvassed and this course practically decided upon. It is not yet absolutely determined just what aspirant will be thus complimented, but the choice lies between Pattison and Cockrell. The votes absolutely un- der Gorman's control are those of Maryland, West Virginia and the Dis- trict of Columbia. The men who are talking about Judge | Gray are met with the question: Where are the votes to be secured to nominate him? The delegations with “favorite sons” as yet manifest an unwillingness to enter into combinations, and in the interest of their own candidates they do not desire to antagonize Parker. If by aay chance there is a deadlock they 211 hope to secure votes from the Park- er column in the break-up. Nor are the “favorite son” delegations such as can| be transferred. In several cases Parker is the second choice of the delegates. This is notably true of the votes instructed for Hearst. | It is not believed that the editor candi- date could control them for any other candidate, while it is evident that quite | a large number from the Northwest ar ready to vote for Parker on the second ballot. | The fact that the day has passed | without bringing to the fore any figure around which the anti-Parker element seems able to rally has taken a great | deal of life out of the situation. Wh“ef the contest over the platform and the| second vplace on the ticket will afford a | great deal of interest when fought out in the convention itself, the majority of the delegates and those who come to| see a convention and shout for their favorites are almost wholly interested in the head of the ticket. The resuit is that an air of apathy pervades the lob- Dbies and other places where the rank | and file assemble.
