9 oclock when that hour rolled around there was no movement I toward convention hall though plenty I ofidelegate were in lghtf Theywere usually found In groups in the shady places discussing what they were up against and the probable acton of the Pops who were then in session Many of the most influential men of the party j were for convening nominating a straight ticket and immediately going home to fight for it WHAT I DEMOCRATS DISCOVER The bald truth had been disclosed to them in no mistakable language that tho Populist convention was dominated by men who are not representatives of I the people not the representatives of the national organization but men in the hire of the Western Federation of 1 Miners the organization whose chief aim is to have Paul Corcoran released from the penitentiary and such control of the administrative offices of the State placed In its hands as shall make It Impossible to interfere with ox punish such crimes in future as those that are I responsible county for martial law in I Shoshone It was In the air that the Pops would withdraw the Insulting ultimatum issued is-sued at 1 oclock this morning and again lawandorder Democrats were in favor of refusing to hold further fur-ther conference with the agents of tho assassins and going It alone but the majority were of a forgiving mood and reckoned on the advantage of the few votes to be gained by the meethalf way policy CONFERENCE COMMITTEE REPORTS RE-PORTS At 1145 Chairman Watts called the convention to order and asked for a report re-port from the committee on conference Mr Martin stated that on Invitation the committee had again gone Into conference confer-ence The Democrats submitted the list of offices to be assigned to the dominant domi-nant party which Includes Supreme Judge Governor LleuteantGovernor Superintendent of Public Instruction AttorneyGeneral Treasurer and three I electors conceding to the Silver Republicans Repub-licans the Senator d the Secretary of State and to the Populists the Congressman Con-gressman Auditor and Mine Inspector To this arrangement the Pops would not agree though It was accepted without with-out qualification by the Silver Republicans cans They demanded Congressman Secretary of State Auditor Inspector and one elector The Democratic subcommittee sub-committee won id not recede from their position and an agreement being impossible Im-possible Chairman Martin asked that the convention positively instruct theo the-o m1te just what tlie latter should demand arid what concede REIDS BACKBONE STIFFENED Col Reid whose vertebra had stiffened stiff-ened since he learned the purpose of the dynamiters moved that the Democratic Demo-cratic subcommittee do not recede from its position rfor In any manner change the

board which governs the Pardon board and includes tho Governor Attorney General and Secrelury of State They demanded the Secretary of State but this office the Democrats apportion lo the Silver Republicans the action Qt the subcommittee having been ratified by the rising vote of the convention Instructing It to stand pat I WU be noted too that the final apportionment offered by the Democrats Demo-crats Is not as generous as some of the earlier ones in that It gives all three I of he electors to the Democrats The loss of the one elector wasa bitter pill to the Pops as It would practically
