The CALL ISSUED.


John H. Rice and s. W. Chase, chair
man Of the Peoples Party State Central
Committee, met in this city by appoint
ment TO discuss the details for the
promulgation Of the call for confer
ence OF representatives Of the indie
pendent party, Peoples party. Union
Labor party, Farmers Alliance, Farm
ers' Mutual Benefit Association, Citi-
zens' Alliance, Knights OF Labor, Col
ored Farmers Alliance, and all indus
trial organizations that support the
principles Of the St Louis platform OF
December, 1889, ut Cincinnati, O., Mon
day, February g. for the purpose OF
favoring National Union party.
General Rice wanted Mr.. Chase to
sign the call as chairman OF the Peo-
pies party, but this he declined to do
because at the time the conference Is
held the Legislature Of Kansas will be
in session and no and large number OF
the party leaders in Kansas will be UNI
able to attend. The result was that
General Rice was compelled to issue the
call without Mr.. Chase's official sanction
as 1t was preferred by those in favor OF
the movement ut Ocala
Chairman Chase will, however, issue
Q proclamation to the various county
and district committees Of the Peoples
party throughout the State to elect
delegates as provided in the call. He
considers it unfortunate that the time
fixed for the meeting at Cincinnati was
not some date after March Is so that
Kansas could be represented as itshould
be.
The call is as follows:
