They Make Arrangements to Raise Campaign
Funds.
OMAHA, Neb., July 5.-Before the ma
tlonal central committee adjourned
this afternoon these resolutions were
adopted:
Resolved, That the national committee Of
the Peoples party request the reform press
TO urge with all It's force and influence that
ON the oath Of July, or as much earlier as
possible, every Peoples party club and labor
organization in the United States meet and
collect funds for the national campaign;
that they then adjourn to meet again on the
10th Of August, the anniversary of the battle
Bennington, the first battle Of the American
revolution, and that on that day meetings
be held in every township TO collect funds for
the national campaign, since without funds
we cannot hope to make the fight for reform
with any hope Of success. The people must
sustain this campaign with their means as
well as their votes or il may fail, and with
it the hopes of the people for justice and
prosperity in this and in future genera
tions. The meetings in country districts
shall be held at 10 O'Clock q. M, and the
meetings in villages and cities at O'Clock
D. m. All money collected shall at once be
transmitted TO NJ. G. Rankin, of TerFe
Haute, Ind, treasurer Of the national COM
mittee of the Peoples party, andwe suggest
that ON the said 18th day of August the
people devote the day to this great work in
speeches and festivities. And we further re-
quest that at each of such meetings finance
committee shall be appointed whose duty
10 shall be TO make thorough canvass Of
the township or precinct for contributions;
and in addition 10 the above method Of
The advocate., 1892-07-20

raising money we hereby establish four
funds, TO be known as the stem dollar cam
paign fund.-" the ''fve dollar cam
paign fund" the "one dollar campaign
fund" and the "fifty cent campaign fund, /"
and we request that all friends Of the cause
who are able TO do 80 shall send their names
and contributions direct TO our treasurer, to
be published in the reform press Of the re-
spective states; provided, that contributions
to these fund shall be allowed. if they desire
TO do so, TO pay in monthly installments.
We also urge that every speaker for the
Peoples party shall take up collections for
our national campaign fund wherever they
may address the people.
We would also urge that the ladies who
are in sympathy with the Peoples party
in the respective states shall be urged and
requested by the reform press to form clubs
for che collection of funds and the forward
ing of our work.
The national committee Of the Peoples
party says to it's friends that there
Is a reasonable probability that the
party will sweep the country and elect their
candidates for president and vice preident,
if they are given means enought to put
speakers in the field and supply the people
with campaign literature.
A striking evidence of the revolution now
going on is found in the fact that Ken
tucky delegate offered the following resolu-
tion, and il was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the Peoples party of the
United States earnestly request the women
of the country to organizN at once and help
US in this contest, because we are fighting
to save not only them and ourselves, but
che coming generations from plutocratic
slavery.

/ closed my eyes, thinking l was de-
ceived, and / heard Thomas Jefferson
speak In q voice Of thunder: "AlI men
are created free and equal, and endowed
by their creator with certain inaliensble
rights-among them life, liberty and the
pursuit Of hsppiness;" and a thousand
strong voices added: "ThiS means that
men must have equal opportunities to
the natural resources Of nature, must
have the privilege to work and keep that
which they produce by their labor"
Then | heard Abraham Lincoln say:
"This shall be q government OF the peo-
pie, by the people and for the people"
and | heard q voice like that Of the
angel, Gabriel, shout: "Amen, let ell the
people say amen" AS / opened my eyes
and looked toward the place where the
voice was heard, I saw a man holding an
open bible high above his head, indicat-
ing that all this was the true declaration
of the holy book. Then ! beheld many
good and noble women who have done
much for the oppressed people come and
join the procession. They marched and
shouted, the band played, but through
all the din heard in firm, steady tones:
We are coming, we are coming, the tOllerS Of the
land,
To save this glorious country from the robbers
ha d.
Then the music changed; a joyous
melody louder than all the others broke
out, "Glory to God, the highest; peace on
earth and good will towards all men,"
I felt that the thoughts and emotions
80 spontaneously developed by the read
Ing and adoption Of the platform, and
the feeling 80 fervently expressed by the
demonstrations Of the vast au-
dlence, was nucleus Of force and energy
that would never rest until this work Of
establishing perfect justice between man
and man ls accomplished
/ felt glad that had enjoyed the high
privilege of .being there; proud that l
could do my humble share in the glorl-
GUS work Of emancipating the nation
from the power of plutocratlc OppreS'
sion.

service Of improving the condition of my
fellowmen; Of establishing the kingdom

IMPRESSIONS AT THE OMAHA CONVEN-
TTON

and emotions awakened in my breast by
that glorious outburst Of simultaneous
and genuine enthusiasm caused by the
reading and adoption Of the platform at
the national convention Of the Peoples
party at Omaha.
First, /, like everybody else, shouted
and waved my handkerchief. Then /
paused, and It seemed to me could see
the whole country, every state OF the
Union, all within the range of my vision,
and 1t seemed that the people were about
TO erect temple in place In front OF
me, where some great event or ceremony
was to be enacted. Then / heard music,
and between the playing Of the band and
the glad shouting of the multitude, |
heard other voices than those around me.
They fell upon my ears like one sad, de-
spairIng wall OF distress coming from the
toillng millions, who we're raising their
voices 10 heaven against the wrongs
which they were suffering from their op-
pressors. AT times 1t seemed like the
wall of hungry children crying for bread,
or, again, the complaint Of thousands OF
older children, who were doomed to long
hours of work and insufficient food. IalSo
heard the bitter cry Of distress from
thousands Of women doomed to work for
wages insufficient to decentlY feed and
clothe them. Again, l heard the sullen
yof discomfort from millions Of farmers,
their wives and children, who, despite the
hardest toll and bitter privations, were
growing poorer from year TO year. Then
q louder cry came from thousands Of
workingmen In towns and factories; 1t
grew resolute and determined as It be-
came louder and stronger. Itcame from
the farm, II came from the mine, 1t came
from the south, the north, the east, the
west. The voices shouted: "We are
coming; we are coming. We will help
you save the oountry-save the nation"
Then the scene changed, and men from
every state ran up to the place where q
temple was to be erected, as though they
were entering into most solemn COM
pact. They said: awe will build tenn
pie; the foundation shall be justice, the
walls equal rights to all, special privileges
to none. The top shall be open TO the
good influences of heaven, 80 that love
aud charity for the ignorant and weak
shall become the guiding principle OF the
people. Then, with grand rush, the
people from all the states and territories
of the Union came up to the temple and
pledged themselves to carry out and
promulgate those grand and noble prin-
ciples 10 which the temple had been
dedicated. There was q noble rivalry
among the states for the honor to be first,
and the distinction Of holding their BAN
ner the highest.
Then, after pledgIng themselves In the
most sacred and impressive manner, the
spirit moved them to 90 around and pro-
claim to everyone what they had done.
And the spirit of fraternity, Of universal
love and good viii hovered over all the
people, and the people hastened TO pro-
claim their good intentions. They marched
around the country, brothers from the
south with their brothers from the north,
the boys In blue with the boys in gray,
the black men with the white men, the
mechanic with the farmer, the dwellerS

1t was evident that the creator part
OF the nations inhabiting the globe were
to have their dances represented, and
tho Scotch dance, performed In High
land costume by six little girls, was tho
next on the programme. Eliza Speidel
and Fannie Wheat danced tho High
land fling, and WHOM it Is said that they
danced as well in this CALIFORNIAN favor
lite as they did in tho skirt dance, no
higher praise can be given.
The American dance was performed
by eight young ladies, dressed in the
national colors, with all the other per-
formers on the stage. And while Prof.
Speedy waved the American flag, and
the audience applaudcd. tho curtain
went down on tho most successful per.
torrance of the Kermoise ever given.

The Court" dance was beautiful, and
Inc pretty, girls who danced it were en-
cofed. The selection of these eight
young ladies' Tor this beautiful dance
was well made. Every one OF them was
well drilled III her part. The dance is
one IN which grace Of movement is a

one OF the most attractive Of the many
beautiful scenes OF the evening.
Aspanish dance, tho Cachuca, was
realistically rendered by Miss Florence
Atkinson, who handled the castancts
like regular gypsy maiden.
The song and dance OF Mrs. Charles

tho events of the Kermoise, and
tho two performers bore themselves
like professionals. Prof. Speedy's voice
showed signs OF the wear incident to
the severe strain imposed upon him by
his constant labors Of the past few
weeks. But il the professors voice was
not at its best, his legs were in good
trim, and after the double song and
dance he executed q pas seul for tho
dedication OF the audience.

warriors were made up so as to DO ur.
