PLATFORM AND RESOLUTIONS.
Rumel, Give and Burt's Name Greeted with
Big Enthusiasm-Rawlins Named for
County Attorney.

a rather quiet county convention, threw
little thunderbolt into the Liberal camp,
softly and went home.
When the public saw in yesterdays
HERALD that John H. Rumel, Jr., j. H.
Give and Sheriff Burt had been placed on
the ticket OF the Workingmen's party,
twentieths of the public at once
said the people were presented with the
of a life time, and that they
would be the veriest idiots if they did not
sieze it.
As the Peoples party, whatever other
charge may be laid to their doors, have
never been accused of being an organization
of lunatics, they seized the opportunity,
held it fast and did not release it till they
had extracted everything from it that it was
capable of yielding.
The convention came together in the
Social hall at 2 p. m. sharp.
Chairman of the county central commit
tee, Hon. John Z. Winder, called the con
vention to order, and in a few words said
he expected this Would be the last time he
would appear in the position of chairman of
the central committee He had held it
since lS14-for sixteen years and he was
forced to ask to be relieved He stated
that he had been instructed to place in nom
NATION for temporary chairman of the con-
vention, Mr.. S. A. Kenner, who came for
ward and was greeted with applause.
Mr.. kenner in few brief words ac-
cepted the office, and stated that the con
Ventlon was to name nine officers to be
voted for August, and he had no doubt
the proceedings would be as harmonious as
conventions of the Peoples party usually
were.
j. ID. Cummings, of Mill Greek, was NOM
mated as temporary secretary.
On motion of Mr.. Richards. 81. M. Barlow,
Eighteenth ward, was appointed sergeant
alarms. Mr.. Moyle moved that committee
OF five on credentials be appointed Carried,
and the chairman named Messrs J. H.
Moyle, Barlow Ferguson, Spencer Claw
son, j. H. Hodges and w. G. a. Smoot, Jr.
The credential committee at once set to
work and collected the credentials held by
the various members and retired to look
them over.
While they were out the chairman was
called on for a speech, and humorously said
he had read in a certain newspaper that
everyone who came to the convention knew
in advance what was going to be done If
this was the fact, though the article
came from source that threw a
cloud on its title. he would like
to be informed of the fact, as he was
just now somewhat mixed as to what was
to be done or what was being done Need
less to say that he referred to the Tribune.
Laughter ana applause. He congratula
ted the constituency of the county ana city
on the class of men they had sent to this
convention, and felt sure the ticket to be
put up would bring out full vote, which
meant that the People would cast a ma
iority of all the votes
F. S. RICHARDS
was called for and made few quiet. but
terse and earnest remarks.
d. M'KENzIE
drew attention to the fact that there was a
power at work here that was determined
the People should win nc election. 1t be-
hooved US to look around and
see what honest and legitimate means
could be taken to circumvent il.
Circumstances alter cases. What was ex-
pedlent and right to day might be inexpe-
dent and wrong to morrow. He was in for
beating the enemy by any honest means
but there he rather abruptly closed, stat
ing that he was giving his own views sim
ply and had better say no more at present.
j. H. PAUL
was loudly called for and arose He said
the heat of the day precluded any length
ened efforts or high flights of oratory. He
urged all to bring their earnest considera-
ton TO the question of the ticket-what
ticket would have the best chance of win
ming, The whole field should be looked
over; Individual preferences should be
sunk. Such a choice of men should be made
as would draw the vote of the party. IAN
plause.
Mr. Whitney here moved for the appoint
ment OF a committee on order of business
and permanent organization, but The chair
thought it was out of order till the commit
tee on credentials had reported.
Mr.. PIKE
made good speech, urging the People te
stick to its principles, TO the platforms i
had enuncjated. The Mormous were hell
TO be an uncertain quantity in politics. He
favored letting the world know where we
stood, and that any promises we made were
kept after election-not like the Liberals
who were so profuse Ia their promises o.
what they would do for the workingmen
Now the workingmen had been forced Il
put up ticket for elf-protection, and b,
saw with satisfaction that some of thei
names were those the People had put u,
last Feoruary-and one of them was tina

any other Peoples man on the ticket. Lout

PROF. STEWART
being called for made a humorous speecb
in which he said he had burst collar hut
ton looking for the ready made ticket re
ferred to by the chairman, and he none,
that after August he would burst two col
lar buttons in swelling with pride over tn
results of the election
Time was wearing on and tn
thermometer booming upwards an,
a member moved that the sergeant. at
arms be dispatched in quest of the commit
tee on credentials. Mr.. Barlow made
hurried exit and came back in a moment (.
say that the committee would be on han
in few moments, and for the next tiy
minutes the flaming went on vigorousl
and uninterrupredly.
AT quarter past three the committee OF
credentials came in and were greeted wit
applause. Mr.. Clawson read the followin
