ST. LOUIS, June e13.-Contrary to expecta-
tions, and to what the committee gave out
this morning, the Executive Committee of

this evening. Five members of the commit
tee were present at the La Clede, where the

of Iowa; A. o. Wilkins, of Kansas, and NJ.
c. Rankin, of Indiana. Ignatius Donnelly
and Mr.. Davis, of Texas, had engage
ments which they could not postpone, and
wired their inability to be present Robert
Schilling, Secretary of the National Com
mittee, acted as Secretary of the meeting,
which was held behind closed doors
The first business to come up was reports
from gentlemen representing different
States, who gave glowing account of the
outlook in their sections
Will Fight For Ohio and Kentucky.
In Kentucky and Ohio special fight
will be made and the active work of prepar-
ing for the campaign is left in the hands of
Chairman Taubeneck and Mr.. Robert
Schilling, the National Secretary.
The Secretary was Instructed to establish
literary bureau to furnish items of inter-
est to the reform press, which now numbers
between 600 and 700 papers. A weekly let
ter is to be prepared and published by these
papers.
A medal was ordered to be struck COM
memorative of the convention at Cincinnati.
The medal is to be made of aluminium and
is to be distributed to the different Alli-
ances to be sold, the proceeds of which are
to be devoted to campaign purposes next
year.
A constitution was adopted for Peoples
party clubs These organizations are to be
formed in wards, townships and counties,
all to be under the supervision of a central
club in each county. The committee agreed
to and instructed the chairman and secre-
tary to prepare an address to the people of
the United States after the following reso-
lutions were adopted:
Pushing the State Organizations.
Resolved, That in States where there is no
independent political organization the
members of the National Central Committee
of such State shall, when they organize the
several counties of the State by the appoint
ment of county committees as provided for
in n resolution of this committee on May 81,
1891, have the right to add TO their number
any such additional members as they may
name, who shall with them constitute an
Executive Committee of the Peoples party
with full power to elect their own officers.
The above resolution was prepared by
Ignatius Donnelly and sent here.
The following resolution is the most i'm
portant taken by the party, in view of the
fact that it is the first declaration of where
the party stands and is in great measure
refutation of the charges of dickering,
which were so freely made during the Gin
cinnati convention.
An Anti-Fusion Policy Adopted.
Resolved, That the National Executive
Committee is unalterably opposed to fusion
with any other political party, and will not
recognize any individual, committee or
organization that proposes. or enters into
such fusion as affiliated with the Peoples
party.
After the adoption of this resolution the
members entered into a general discussion
of the best campaign policy to be pursued
during 1892. The concensus of opinion was
that the principal issue to be contended for
will be the sub-treasury plan, opposition to
banks of issue, and to advocate Government
control or ownership of the telegraph and
railroads, and to uphold the interest of the
wage-earners as against the encroachment of
capital.
