Thcro woro two sessions of tho Populist

into-the night Both wero turbulent and
noisy, but tho tumult was confined to the
delegates on tho floor, tho gallorlcs licitig
practically empty. A bitter fooling mani
fested Itself among tho "middlo of tho
road" faction which found vout In several
wild demonstrations and counter demon
strations. Tho morning session was a
virtual blank so far us buslno9 was con
cerned. Tho roport of tho committee on
credentials was not ready, and tho conven
tion listened to a barltono from Oklahoma
and a sweet singer from Arkansas render

spring a resolution on tho convention to
bind tho delegates toabido by tho result,
whatovor it might bo, but ho was howled
down, and his resolution was laid Twace
fully away on the hack shelf.
It was at tho afternoon session that tho
tun of war caiuo which ended In tho dis
astrous defeat of tho strnlghtoiits. Byn
narrow majority they boat tho lirynn
forces early In tho. session of tho Ueterinl
nation of tho Cook county contest. Some
of tho Bryan men woro alarmed and could
with dllllculty bo convinced that tho bat

tho result was defeat by a voto of 005 to
012. It wus then 0 o clock, and tno "mid'

cure an adjournment, hoping that tho or
feet of tho victory could lio turned to iu
count before tho dologutos reassembled,
but tho effort failed.
At exactly 8:80 Temporary Chalrmon

announced that tho committee on orodon

stnlidard Democrat called to consldor the
ndvisnbilltyof Issiiltigu call fitr a national
convention was hold lnt night fit tho
Auditorium nnnox. The mooting con
vened shortly after 8 o'clock nnd Was hold
in secret, tho public and press tieing ex
cluded. Tho chief cause for the secrecy
was mat Ujmptrollcr Eckels, who wns
oxpoctod from Washington, win gen
erally understood to carry in his vest
poonot tho .wishes of the present adminis
tration regarding 11 conventlonand a
third ticket, nnd it was desired to give
him oil posslblo opportunity to say .what
Mr Cleveland desired without ltlelng trio
extensively advertised.
It was genarally admitted that the
Wishes of tho administration would go Jar
toward determining whether or not there
should lie another ticket in the field, but
many of the visiting Democrats had. no
hosjtntlon In saying that a tlckot would lie
put up in spite of everything.
Telegrams were received nnd read at tho
conference from prominent Dcitiocrnto'all
over tho country, strongly Indorsing tho
movement for another ticket.
Comptroller Eckels did not appear, and
tho incetlng, after waiting somo time far
him, went Into session. General B. .
Bragg', of Wisconsin, was eloctcd cluiir
man and C. A. Kwing, of Illinois, pecre-
tury.
Tho conference definitely decided that
n convention should lie called, tho only
question Jielug whether the meeting
should issue tho call, and on this u lively
debate ensued.
Q, M. Davis, of Kentucky, proscntedUho
principal reasons calling for a convention
to bo held on Sent 1. In Detroit 1L H.
KobMns, of Illinois, did not fns'or tho issue
of 11 call by this meeting, and It K. Ivnatt,
of Kentucky, spqko strongly In favor of
calling tho convention ut once.
Senator Vilas, of Wisconsin, violently
opposed tho issuing of a call by tho con
ference. HisMieoch wns frequently cheered.
although tho general sentiment of tho
meeting seemed to lncliuo tho other vsny.
no laid:
"If wo aro to havoun organization which
shnll represent tho Democratic imrty; wo
must recruit it from ovory. state In .the
Union. Wo must not issue it call from a
body too narrow to bo potential. Latji
mills nieotlng Ira held in each state,. nnd
let them nominate dologates to n national
convontlon. Wo want all tho states rep
resented when tho cull goes forth for tho
convention. Then wo are sure of our
ground and of our strength."
Aftor a long dobnte a resolution was
adopted to tho effect that it was tho sense
of tho meeting that a Democratic conven
tion should lie hold, u Democratic plat
form, enunciated and candidates forjiruo
dent and vice president rhoscn, and that
said convention should be hold not later
than Sept 2.
A committee of 0110 from each state rep
resented was appointed by tho chairman
to draft a call for tho convention, with
ordurs to report to tho general mooting
today.
General Bragg said after the adjourn
incut of the conference, at 1 o'clock this

Saturday and skipped, leaving an unpaid
board hill of two months liehiml. The last
seen of him was on Saturday night, when he
entered a clothing store, and purchased an

disguising himself. Tho robbery was com
mitted at an early hour this morning, and
the victim was relieved of a silver watch, a
sum of money and a few other valuables,
which ho had concealed in a trunk, and which
was opened by a false key. Eutranco to tho
house was cither effected by climbing
through a window or using the hick door,
