GLENCOE, MINI, Aug. 20-The 'Peo-
pies" convention assembled here to-iay nj
| | n. nj, pursuant To 4 call which was signed
BY over one thousand voters Of the Third
congressional district.
The call was the result Of popular meet
Ing ut lasting, which appointed committee
Of which Harvey GiIlctt. Esq., was chairman,
and he, July 18th, ISSUED the call which ~
means Of circulars sent Ill over the district ~
before stated, wns numeronsly signed.
This Is the second In the series Of three
which concluded with .Democratic" held al
IL III. to-day, and the Farmers" which
| transpfed yesterday. II Il seldom that ANY
city becomes the focal center for the gather
ing Of so many organizations u u political
nature. II Ii seldom that 50 many diseor-
aant elements enter into the political sltua-
ton IA now vcx the politics OF the Third
| congressional district. There Is a strong
| sense Of dissatisfaction felt aud manifested
| by the people of this district at
| continuing 70 run Its politics
| forever In the interest of one man
who seems To feel and manifest so little inter
est In the feelings aud interests Of the PEG.
| pie. Whether justly or not, the people feel
rs If they had no representative whatever
| aud tina, the bankers, manufacturers and
| monopo,Sts Of all kinds were forever determ-
| inel 10 misrcpresent them and 10 control all
matters Of legislation. This uneasy feeling
Is growing day by lay, and has new assumed
most imposing proportions, as these two pop
ular conventions will evidence. 1t bodies no
good 10 the party which has so long controlled
the affairs Of government, and the indica-
tons are that this fall will demonstrate that
fact to their entire satisfaction.
