The National Union Conference at Cincinnati Declares
for New Party Which is ChriStened "Ths
Peoples Party"-A Remarkable Platform.
Prohibition Element Gets Cold Comfor..

CINCINNATI, o., May 2O.-A political
giant was born into the world to-day.
1t is the literal truth to state that no
more wonderful exhibition of lung power
at natal event, was ever heard than in
Cincinnati Music Hall this afternoon.
From the moment in the morning when
the great gathering of farmers and wage
workers voted eagerly for making a Ma
tional Executive Committee part of
the programme, the result was TO an ex-
tent foregone. All doubts were removed
in ten seconds, when in the evening,
after scenes of almost unprecedented
turmoil, the fresh, clear countenance of
Ignatius Donnelly, of Minnesota, chair
man of the Committee on Resolutions,
beamed from the rostrum on the
struggling, yelling mass of humanity
in the convention, and DonnellY, with
dignity befitting his words, announced
that the committee had become unit
for starting third party in the nation
without another instant's delay. Ii
was marvellous to see the effect on dele
gates and spectators alike. Fatigue,
foreboding quarrels, vanished as if
struck by lightning. Breathless and
hushed the listening hundreds waited,
as Donnelly continued earnestly: I'VE
think we have performed a work that
will affect the politics Of this country
for the next fifty years"
That was enough. The audience
could contain itself no longer: but with
dynamite force exploded in terrific
thunder of applause.
A sensational feature OF the proceed
ings following Donnelly's announce
ment came after the platform proper
had been adopted. A Californian named
G. w. Miller endeavored to thrust be.
fore the convention resolution pledg
ing the new party to the prohibition
cause. The convention would not listen
to such a resolution at such an early
stage of the new party, and it was
promptly fired.
Tonight it is reported that many
members Of the National Reform Organ
ization had withdrawn from the party
because of the defeat Of the resolution

TERRIBLE CYCLONE
Sweeps Over Missouri-Ten or Twelve
Persons are Killed.

Persons are Killed.
MEXIco, Mo-, May 20.-A terrible
tornado passed three miles northeast OF
this place at three o'clock this after
noon. Some fifteen houses in the vcin-
ity of Boone Creek were destroyed, ten
to twelve persons killed, and an equal
number fatally injured, and a large
number badly hurt. Joseph Kendall's
house and barn were blown down, Ken
dali having a narrow escape. James Bal
lard'S house was blown down. There
was moving machine carried about
100 yards, and literally torn TO shredS.
An iron roller weighing 1,200 pounds
was picked up and broken to pieces. A
calf was lifted and carried quarter of
a mile, six horses killed and chickens
pucked clean of feathers. The cyclone
passed to the east carrying destruc-
tion with it. There is no doubt
great destruction of property and life
has occurred further east. Great trees
were taken up by the roots or broken
off. The scene at these places is ter
rible in the extreme Mr.. Morris was
standing by his house holding his baby
when the cyclone struck him, daShing
the child 4 hundred yards away against
a tree. He found his family scattered
in every direction. The width of the
cyclone was 300 yards and about twelve
miles long.

adjourned until p. m.
IL seems Mrs. Cougar in her speech
denounced a banquet to be held to-
night, declaring the brewers were back
ing that project.
When the convention reasSembied,
several letters were read against the
third party, one from L. l.. Polk caus-
ing breeze. Ignatus Donnelly, chair
man of the Committee on Resolutions,
then set the convention On fire by say
ing the Committee on Platform was uni
ted for the organization of third party.
He said there were only two alterna-
tives, either ignore a third party or di
vide the friends of refor1. He gave
way to Mr.. Schiling, of Wisconsin, who
read the platform:
1t states that the time has arrived for
what should be known as the Peoples
Party of America; the platforms of st.
Louis, Ocala, Fla, and Omaha are en-
dorsed. These platforms presented by
industrial organizations demand the alb
olition of national banks; demand free
and unlimited coinage of silver; the pass
age OF laws prohibiting alien ownership
of land; government control Of means Of
communication and transportation; the
election of President and Senators by i
direct vote of the people,"
This committee further resolves:
That we urge united action al the CON
ference called for February %, 1892, by
the leading reform organizations; that a
al oo nm = FOO ha anpOin a6
by this conference, to be composed of
three members from each State.
That this central committee shall rep
resent this body at the national confer
ence in 1892, and unite with all reform
organizations there assembled. If no
satisfactory arrangement can be effected
this committee shall call national
convention not later than June l, 1892,
for the purpose of nominating cdndi-
dates for President and Vice President.
Also that the members of the central
committee for each State can conduct
an active political political agitation in
their respective States.
Several resolutions not part of the
platform were presented. They favored
eight hours a day, and condemned the
action of the Worlds Fair in regard to
low wages.
The reading of each plank was loudly
cheered, as was the name Peoples
Party of the United States.
One minor plank recommending uni
versal suffrage was received in chilly
way. The plank demanding Treasury
notes to pay soldiers, equivalent to coin,
was received rather unfavorably, but il
was stated it was the idea OF the only
soldier on the committee.
After this had been explained, wild
yell or eXultation over the platform
arose from Texan, and the colored dele
gates echoed it, and the convention went
wild, ending the session in Il storm ol
cheers, and singing, Good bye, ole
parties, good bye"

THE DETAILS
OF the Conventional Lively Time-Pro-
hibition Element Squelched.


CINCINNATI, May 2O.-When the con
vention began to-dayS proceedings
there was a great deal of anxiety eX
pressed as to the platform. In the con
vention, Gen. Weaver, Jerry Simpson
and others who strongly opposed the
third party idea, were not to be seen;
they were Stubbornly laboring with the
Committee OF Platform.
The session was opened with prayer
by Rev. Gilbert Delamater, the Green
back ex-Congressman. Reports from
the several committees now helped to
kill time pending exciting developments
expected when the Committee on Plat
form was ready to report.
Chairman Bower, of the Arrange
mehts Committee, pathetically an
nounced he had received but $40 and
expended $500. A collection was taken
up. and amidst the chink of dimes, the
Chairman ioyfully announced two whole
five dollar bills had been donated, while
''tenner" came floating down for Kan
SaS.
Jesse Harper, a Greenbacker from
Illinois. began to tell stories, but was
shut off by the report Of the Creden-
tials Committee. The total number of
delegates was LAT.
A man named Grover, OF Wisconsin,
created a terrible uproar at this point
by standing up on his chair, and swing
ing his arms like windmill and start
ing harangue in opposition TO third
party.
Yells of "Shut up" "Sit down." ETC.,
had no effect, until a Sergeant-at-Arms
seized the man from Wisconsin and
rammed him down into his chair.
Mrs. Helen Cougar, of Indiana, plead
for prohibition plank.
United States Senator was then intro
duced as permanent chairman. He said
the convention was divided on minor
matters. but thanks to God, they were
united on this-that the money power
must be deposed. Let them only keep
in the middle of the road. IN conclu-
sion Mr.. PETER said he did not defeat
ingalls,. but The men and women OF Kan
saS did.
Mrs. Marion Todd. of Chicago, pre-
sented the Senator with bouquet.
Here scene occurred simply impos-
sible in any other political gathering.
a colored delegate from South Carolina
asked TO have his fare paid home. add
ing that the reason why many other
colored men were not present, was that
they were poor. He added ,as he eyed the
almost empty hats that were being
passed around. it was as well they were
not present. He was handed lot of
small change collected and retired.
The committee on order of business
showed place for the appointment Of
members of the National convention.
Then after discussion the five minute
rule was adopted.
1t was necessary to apply the previous
question gag before vote could be OBJ
tained on the report of the Committee
on Business, then it went through like
a cannon ball. eliciting the widest ap-
plause. One man shouted that it meant
a third party, as it provided for a
national committee.

Then, secretly, two judges prepared the
final decision against ME, and without

Wheat Slightly Injured.
Special TELEGRAM 10 the Register.
PADEN'S VALLEY, w. VA, May co.
The late frost here killed all tender gar
den vegetables, such as tomatoes and
beans. Potatoes are injured somewhat,
but will recover all right. Wheat is in
jured in some localities, but not gener-
ally. The drought has done more dam
age to the wheat than the frost did.
Wheat is just now beginning to form
the head. and if the dry weather should
continue the heads will be short and
light, especially so in hilly or gravelly
ground. Refreshing rains, if they
come soon, will relieve this feature very
much. Corn was not hurt much here
by the frost. The drought has gotten
in its work, though, with telling effect.
Meadows look now as though the hay
crop will be short, aud pastures are
likewise. In the fruit line everything
seems TO have been killed except black
berries aud apples, and they have not
entirely escaped. Many localities
around here report partial loss of crop.
