! ST LOUIS, Fe0 25-The Joint committee
| in whose charge the matter was placed by
the industrial conference just ended here,
| has selected Omaha, Neb., as the place for
holding the nominating convention OF the
newly born third party. July was last
night selected as the date, and that action
was reaffirmed. A formal call has been
issued to the people Of the United States.
/ 1t states that the national committee of
! the Peoples party, acting IN conjunction
with the committee appointed az the re-
cent industrial conference, submits to the
people of The United States the preamble
and platform of the conference.
| 'We urge" says the call, that all cIti-
zens who support these demands shall
meet on the last Saturday in March next,
in their respective towns and villages, TO
! hold public meetings to ratify these de-
mands and to take steps to organize pre-
! paratory to eiecting delegates TO the ma
! tional convention. We call upon all duly
qualified voters of the United States who
| are in favor of these principles and of
nominating candidates for president and
| vice president on the above platform, TO
! send delegates to convention OF the Peo-
! pies party at Omaha, on July 4, 1892.
The executive committee of the Peoples
party in each state is charged with the
! duty Of promuigating this call and of fix
! ing the time. place and method by which
said delegates shall be chosen. The basis
OF representation shall be four delegates
from each congressional district and eight
delegates from each state at large, making
the total number 1,I16.
I'VE call upon all citizens of the United
States TO help us make our principles
triumphant. We believe that if the voters
neglect their duty this year, it may be i'm
possible in any future caucus to protect
the rights of the people and save the free
institutions Of our country. The voters
~
pect no one else to defend them. In the
name of the rights of the people, the homes
OF the land, and the welfare of al future
generations we call upon all honest men
to come to our support in this great con-
test"
