After q little informal business. .
motion was made 60 adjourn 10 the
park 10 hear the Temperance orator
that was supposed 10 be Grating there-
Al that point member came N from
the park and reported that the park
meeting was necessarily postponed.
The motion to adjourn was then recon-
sidered, much 10 the regret OF most OF
the audience on account Of the heat,
and Judge Tatem was called upon 70
make few remarks OF the convention.

Of our success.
Il have been acquainted with oor

There are things in the resolutions

and the homes.
There are other questions just As v.isl

monopolies. Our platform tins yea'
embraces al Of these great questions %
the day. don't want il said, when We
come 20 the polls, that we are a party
of bGt one view or mind. There arc
questions that should claim our atten.
ton as well as prohibition, and as !
have said. just as vital.
II is my opinion that there will be 4
union of men that wall band together IN
the near future to fight al these issgc,
a. one, and instead Of putting q million
aire in the PresiGcnt'e chair we viii pot
a man that j. near the peoples hesr|
and will work for the protection OF thf
working people and the home.
