Judge Gresham had gotten on the
PEOPLES platform he would have been
nominated this night This was an evi-
dence of the saying that the late comers
always get the plums, while the old
guard We're thrown into the lumber
room. Schilling seconded Kyle's NOM
ination and said that Weaver's former
Greenback affiiliation would severely
injure the movement. He had letter
from Senator Kyle which said that he
was paired to no one and did not pro-
pose to be paired. He was ready to
abide by the result of the convention.

An Alabama delegate named Ben

Field, and Florida seconded Terrill
One state after another seconded Fields

Indiana.
G. r. Davis, Iowa, seconded Terrill.
The latter took the platform at / 80 and
stamped as an infamous falsehood the
story that he had been identified with
the cordage trust or embroi'ed with the
United States government. Amidst
confusion several delegates defended
Terrill, saying that the attack on Terrill
was an infamous lie inspired by con-
Germ in Illinois that wanted to control
the cordage business. The convention
called the speakers down and the roll

all parts OF the house was the reception
accorded the paragraph favoring gov

meeting chorus greeted the land plank.
The conclusion of the reading of the
platform was warmly greeted. Its
adoption was instantly moved. and
it was put through by unani-
nous consent and the whole
convention rising in advance of the
chair and adopting the platform almost
before he could move its adoption. At
once on the adoption of the platform the
convention broke over all restraint and
went wild in demonstration that had a
likeness to descriptions of enthusiastic
bastile demonstrations in France. The
convention, audience and delegates, rose
to their feet, and the first platform of
the Peoples party was ushered into the
world with scene of enthusiasm that
in intensity and earnestness, though not
in absolute length, almost equaled the
cyclonic ovation which greeted the men
ton of the name Of James Il. Blaine at
Minneapolis. That scene lasted thirty
one minutes. and this scene between
twenty and twenty-five minutes.

CAPTURED BY WEAVER
Peoples Party Nomination for
President Goes to Him on
First Ballot.
General ]. G.. Field, Of Virginia,
an Ex-Confederate, for Vice
President.
Platform Upon Which the Party
Will Stand the Coming
Campaign.

OMAHA, July 5.-General James B.
Weaver, of Iowa, is the candidate of the
Peoples party for president of the
: United States. For several days it has
been manifest with the leaders that
Weaver was the choice Of the vast ma
jority. 1t was not until the distinguished
jurist, Judge Gresham, positively de-
clined to be candidate that the dele
gates TUNED to their own ranks and
with almost one accord selected the
veteran Greenbacker as their standard
bearer. There were some who feared
that greenbacl1 predictions might affect
kis availability, and it was these gentle
men who brought Senator Kyle, of
South Dakota, to tho front; but the
sentiment that one of the "old guard'
should be selected to lead the party was
overwhelming, and Weaver's triumph
was finally complete. Indeed, the fail
ure of the Gresham movement reacted
promptly and powerfully in Weaver's
favor. The friends of the Iowan have
contended for several days that those
who persist in becoming Gresham's
supporters were actuated solely by the
desire to defeat Weavar.
The candidacy of Kyle was effective
only in humiliating the South Dakota
friends of the senator. The senator
wired that he did not desire that his
name should be presented to the conven-
ton. The senator finally said that if
his nomination was demanded by the
convention in the interest of harmony
he supposed he could not refuse.
A Southern man-General j. G. Field,
of Virginia-was nominated for vice
president,

TRRIFF NOT THE ISSUE.
The Force Bill the Paramount Questio,
Says the Sun.

The Force Bill the Paramount Question,
Says the Sun.
New YORK, July 5.-The Sun says
editorially:
Our highly esteemed contemporary
the Chicago Herald, declares with posi-
tiveness that 1.-The spoliation tariff is the
only ISSUE of the national election.
In our humble judgment this is not
only deeply mistaken view, but if it
were generally admitted and acted upon
by the Democracy it would prove fatal
to all their hopes. A fight on the tariff
in 1892 WILL in our opinion, prove just
as surely Republican victory as it
proved in 1883. But whether this opin-
ion is right or wrong makes little differ
ence. There are surely more patriots
than there are tariff reformers in the
country.
The tariff is very important subject.
no doubt. So is silver. So is the civil
service So, too, is liquor prohibition
So is the personal character of the re-
spective candidates, and so are their an
tecedents and peculiarities. But there
is another issue so much more vital, so
much more important, so much more in
evitable in its operation, so much more
effective in its appeal to the intellect
and the heart of the voter, that. while it
remains alive. it towers above all other
issues, actual or even possible, as the
highest Andes tower above the sea beach
below their base or the poison of the
rattlesnake surpasses in deadly menace
the infection of the itch.
Shall the whole people of the South
ern states be subjected, through force
of law, to the horror and the humili-
alton Of negro rule?
That the elections everywhere be con-
trolled by federal overseers backed by
troops?
These are the two sides of this all-ab-
sorbing, all-overshadowing question.
Beside it the tariff is tride, the silver
question farce, the qualification of the
candidates mere meaningless frag-
ment.
No more momentous, no more perilous
issue was ever rendered to the American
people by besotted and deluded party.
Secession itself was not more pregnant
with mischief. Nothing else should be
thought of until this supreme issue
framed by folly and proposed by mad
ness has been killed at the polls and put
to rest forever.

was reached. When Alabama v
called E. G. Manning, of that state, J.,
sneech that was very imperfectly ulI'
soood' ewing to his distance from the
plattorm, named General J. B. Weaver,
OF Iowa. On the call of California a
delegate said that the chairman refused
10 second Weaver's nomination, but
tnat all the same the delegates from
mat state would vote for him. Col
orado yielded her privilege to Colonel 5.
r. Norton, Of Illinois, who delivered a
long eulogy naming Senator J. H. Kyle
OF South Dakota. The name was re-
ce1Ved with slight applause and three
cheers were called for and gamely re-
sponded to.
Connecticut, through Delegate Bald
WIN, placed in nomination General
Fields, of Virginia. S. H. Basher,
pastor of the Progressive church at
Mllledgcville, took the platform and in
a twenty minutes speech, repeatedly
interrupted by cries OF "time," noml-
mated in behalf of the Illinois delegation
Senator G, H. Van Wyck, of Nebraska
AS fast as each delegation. was called
some one delegate claimed the right to
make the fifteen-minute speech allows
by the rule and the talk promised to last
until daylight. At lO:4O only eleven
states had been called and fourteen
speeches had been made.
AT II p. m. motion to cut down
the speeches to five minutes was carried
atter considerable agitation.
E. S. Fish, of Minnesota, deplored the
fact that Ignatius Donnelly would not
allow his name to be presented. A
Pennsylvania delegate whose name was
not disclosed here created disturbance
on the platform and was removed by
Mr.. Powderly. He was apparently de-
mented. r..
Null, of South Dakota, announced
that while they had not originally
favored Senator Kyle yet as his name
had been presented the delegation could
not do otherwise than to'Sprevent his
name being trampled in the dust.
Midnight was reached, while Martin,
Of Texas, was talking for Weaver and 50
the flow of oratory had frustrated the
intention Of the delegates to make their
nominations Of the country's natal day.
Georgia moved that Weaver's nomin-
alton be made by acclamation, but d

Indians Dancing Again.

DARLINGTON, 1. T., July 6.-The Arap-
ahoe Indians are again indulging in .
ghost dance an tne settlers are unduly
alarmed. Complaints have been for
warded by mail and wired to the head of
the Indian department at Washington,
asking that the ceremony be stopped at
once, as the settlers fear that if it is con.
tinued it will end in an Indian outbreak.
A thorough examination shows that
those fears are utterly groundless; the
dance is simply a semi-religious cere-

MORNING SESSION.

IIoucks, of South Dakota, Named for Per-
manent Chairman.
Chairman Ellington was prompt in
calling the convention to order. When
the meeting adjourned on Saturday it
: was to meet at 8 a. M, and although
less than hundred delegates were on
hand at that hour the proceedings We're
at once inaugurated with prayer by
Rev. VIM. McCreedy, Of South Dakota.
A call of the roll having developed the
fact that quorum was lacking, glee
club was pressed into service until the
committee on rules was ready with it's
report.
Judge Robertson Of Texas, presented
the report of the committee on perma-
nent organization, naming H. L.
Loucks, OF South Dakota, as permanent
chairman and Tom W. Hayes, of New
Jersey, secretary-treasurer of the
Knights of Labor, as chief secretary
The chief selections were ratified with
yell, and Chairman Loucks on being
presented received an enthusiastic
welcome. He is a one-legged veteran
and supported himself on his crutch.
The proposition to drop all but the two
highest candidates after the second bal.
lot, provoked lively debate, accom-
panied at times with considerable feel
+ ing An amendment was submitted by
3 Nebraska delegate that when the bal
1 loting had commenced it should continue
until some candidate had been elected.
This was adopted, the proviso stricken
! out, and the report as amended was
adopted. The chair was rushing things
with too much rapidity to suit major
ity Of the convention, and there were
loud protests against his arbitrary rul-
4 ings, and cries of "No gang law" At
stnis point, and after considerable opposi-
zion, the convention decided at 1O:35 to
4 take a recess to witness the civic Fourth
d of July.
After the recess there was long de-
/ bate over a proposition b admit all SOL
diers who wore the blue and the gray to
the two thousand or more vacant seats,
but it was defeated on the ground that
this would be q violation of the contract
with the citizens Of Omaha, who had re-
tained the vacant seats. The committee

MITCHELL, S. D., July 6.-There were
celebrations on both sides of the little

conductor wired. He found the men,
and after brief tussle locked them up
in the baggage car. They were strangers
here. They are now in jail at Mitchell.

Building a Coal Fire.

In starting a coal fire use a good sup
ply of kindling to heat up the coal, sup
ply a good draft, thereby allowing
plenty of oxygen. The coal should be
in small pieces, thereby giving more sur
face for the fire to act on. The bed Of
coal should not be very thick, at no time
over three or four inches, else the air i'll
passing through will be robbed of its
oxygen before reaching the upper sur
face, and combustion will be imperfect.
When combustion is perfect there will
be bright flame and no smoke, and the
result will be carbonic acid gas-an in
tensely hot gas but when the supply of
oxygen is insufficient or the igniting
temperature has not been reached, the
result will be carbonic oxide gas, which
has but one-fourth the heating value Of
carbonic acid gas, besides forming a
thick smoke and SCOT, which is deposited
on the oven and fue plates, making it
difficult for the heat to penetrate
Stoves and Hardware.

How to Select Eyeglasses.

Undoubtedly every one who is forced
by defective sight to the use of eyeglasses
or spectacles ought to consult u compe-
tent oculist as to the selection of the
proper number for him to use. 1t is a
fact, however, that many thousands of
people to whom glasses are boon and
even necessity are unable to do this.
There may be no oculist in their neigh
borhood, or they may not feel able to af-
ford the fee for an examination. There
fore they choose for themselves, or under
the advice of peddler who is too often
ignorant and careless of the harm he
may do. A glass may and often does
help the eye for minute, or even for
some hours. and then strain and tire the
delicate optic nerves. In such a case it is
not the right number and should not
be used under any circumstances. The
temptation to use too strong glass is
especially strong with nearsighted per-
sons. A glass that diminishes the APP
parent size of the object looked at is too
strong. The one to select is the one
which neither magnifies nor diminishes,
but which simply brings out the outlines
more clearly. The same rule holds good
in cases of presbyopia. A glass which
magnifies to the perception is too strong.
Use one that makes the object distinct
in outline. The only safe way is to dis
card any glass that tires the eye. If too
strong a glass is worn, not only is the
nerve weakened, but the affection,
whether it be presbyopia or myopia, will
be developed by the use of the glass it
self
