THR CENTRAL COMMITTEE
met Immediately after the conven-
ton adjourned and proceeded to
organize by electing the following
permanent officers: Geo. A. Will
Jams chairman, C. d. Sanders Sec
rotary and Geo. j. Lewis treasurer.
On motion the chairman was au.
thorized to select an executive COM
mittee of five exclusive of himself
and the secretary, who are by Gus
tom ex-ofhcio members of the ex-
ecutive committee. 1t was decided
by the central committee, as an
expedient, to appoint delegates to
the state nominating convention at
Boise City, as the time is too linn
tied to permit of properly dissent
mating a call for Il special county
convention for that purpose in the
present case.
The convention was enthusiastic
to man, and every one seemed
imbued with the true spirit of re-
form and determination to carry
the peoples party cause to a victo-
rious issue in Alturas county at
least. Many persons hitherto prom.
inent in old party circles were
present, and short earnest addresses
were made by o. S. Glenn, N. NJ.
Ruick. W. H. Atkinson, Mr.. Gillette
and others.
Metropolitan Hall was profnsely
decorated with flags and evergreens
and the following notices were Wis
ihle in large letters: Free and
unlimited coinage" The dollar OF
our daddies." mo strings on
Weaver and Field and no strings
on u.s." death is necessary to
to the continuance of life. Let
the old parties die etc.
The work of the convention was
carried through in an orderly and
expeditions manner, and with a
cool determination that is indica-
tive of business and success. Long
live the peoples party.
