THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE.
CINCINNATI, May 2L.-After the recess
the roll of states was called for mem
bers of the national committee, the con.
vention adopting the innovation of ap-
pointing three members from each
state instead of one, as the old parties
have.
The alliance congressman, j. G. Otis,
of Kansas, nominated II. NJ. Iaubeneck,
of Illinois, as chairman of the national
| executive committee. There was q
outburst of cheers when the name was
mentioned w. r. Lamb, of Texas.
seconded the nomination. saying he
was satisfied He was chosen by &C
clamation.
Loud calls for Taubeneck finally
brought that gentleman to the rostrum,
where he said: Gentlemen: You see
before you all that is left of the cele-
brated Independent party in the Illi-
nois legislature, so often called the
Big Three" He added that while he
highly appreciated the honor the con-
vention had conferred upon him, he
scarcely felt equal to doing the posi-
ton of national chairman justice. but
he would do the best he could
and would rely upon the assist
ance of the other members of the COM
mittee. In conclusion he said they
were standing on the brink of the con-
flict between capital and labor and the
longer that conflict was postponed the
worse it would be. ''Our politicians"
he closed, might as well try to stop q
cyclone or the movement of the stars as
to evaoe this issue"
A few moments of confused prepara-
ton for adjournment sine die ensued,
then the chairman's gavel fell and the
first convention of the peoples party Of
the United States had passed into
history.
